Why the Chiefs and Royals couldn’t convince Kansas City voters to foot the bill for their stadiums
  • Not for it, and not a resident of KCMO so doesn’t matter much to me. With that said downtown KC has been a wasteland till very recently, and adding a stadium would be the final step to bringing it back to life after the interstate highway system destroyed it. The stadium would increase foot traffic and make it a much more vibrant place. Don’t really care how it gets done, just that it gets done.

    Why the Chiefs and Royals couldn’t convince Kansas City voters to foot the bill for their stadiums
  • The Royals have had maybe 10 winning seasons in the past 40 years, and the games aren’t locally televised. I’m all for the downtown stadium, but if they want public funding they should address those 2 issues first. Chiefs made a huge mistake tying their fate to a garbage franchise like the Royals.

    ArcGis Pro in Wine?
  • I don’t work in the architecture space, but a quick search gave me some guidance on how to integrate BIM models in QGIS. The 3D City Builder plug in might do what you need.

    ArcGis Pro in Wine?
  • They have plug-ins for web tiles, and you can connect to the ArcGIS map services. It has a terminal, but I don’t use that function much. I generally do all data manipulation and prep using Python and postGIS, and use Q as a visualization and editing tool. But it has plugins for just about everything. Most of the data resources ESRI gives you is repackaged public data, so searching the internet will provide you with most of the layers you might need.

    ArcGis Pro in Wine?
  • I’d bail on ArcGIS. It’s expensive and QGIS does everything you could possibly need to do without the price tag, or the windows dependency. If you know ArcGIS, Q will feel very familiar.

    The science is clear. So why can’t governments agree on vaping?
  • Why are people all of sudden so concerned about other people’s health? I should be able to do just about anything I want to my body, as long as it has minimal impact on those around me. I can understand second hand smoke being a problem indoors, what impacts does exhaling vapor have on others?

    what are some of the most beautiful cars in your opinion?
  • 2016 Mercedes S63 AMG. My daily driver is the 2015, and so jealous when I see the 2016, it’s perfect. It’s gonna be a sad day when I have to move on.

    ‘The Idol’ Is a Bomb for the Ages: The Winners and Losers of HBO’s Summer Disaster (Commentary)
  • The opening scene of the show was fantastic. It was fun the characters were interesting, and had very high hopes. Everything after that scene just fell completely flat. Gave up halfway through episode 2 because it was just boring and all the characters they chose to focus on were uninteresting and 1 dimensional. Sounds like I made the right choice.
