(Part 3) Top products from r/indianapolis

I have the following set, it should suit your needs:

  Here is price information from Amazon, for what is included:
  
  Item | Amazon Price
  --- | ---
  The Bigger Blacker Box | $15
  Cards Against Humanity | $25
  Cards Against Humanity: First Expansion | $10
  Cards Against Humanity: Second Expansion | $10
  Cards Against Humanity: Third Expansion | $10
  Cards Against Humanity: Fourth Expansion | $10
  
  You can "complete" the set by ordering expansions Five and Six on Amazon.
  
  The Bigger Blacker Box case has enough room to fit both additional expansions, if you take out the foam spacers. It also comes with black dividers, for helping organize.
  
  I have not done this, btw, but apparently if you cut open a specific place inside the lid of the Bigger Blacker Box, there is a special card inside. Something about big black cocks, naturally.
  
  Purchase price on Amazon for all of these items is $80 total. I will offer my set at $70. It is in excellent condition. We've only used it on two occasions.
  
  Also, I know people are probably wondering why I don't offer a larger discount. $70 for a used CAH set might seem "not generous enough". Here's my perspective though. a) This is a pretty comprehensive collection in excellent condition (most of the cards have never been used) and well organized, b) I don't care if I sell it or not, c) I suspect you might be interested in completing the collection anyway, and this collection gets you 80% of the way there, and d) you have a tight timetable.
  
  I live downtown. I work from home. PM me if you're interested, my schedule is flexible.

Dick Cady is a Pulitzer winning journalist from the glory days of the Star and covered the State Fair explosion in his book, Deadline: Indianapolis. E-books are still available but the print copy was short-lived.

The Indy Library has a copy at Central in the Resource Room.

This is a good read on contemporary Indianapolis history.

Pepper spray has a usage distance of 10ft or more and cost $5-10. That is much better than having to be close enough to an attacker to use a taser.

A quick google says you can have a taser if you are over 18 in Indiana, so I assume you can use them for self-defense.

I just received The Jogger via Amazon. It contains red dye, effective at ten feet, police-strength, has a hand-strap, and a quick-release trigger for $6 with free shipping on prime. I bought one for me and one for the GF.

I got lucky and found a cheap copy on Amazon a while back. It seems there's an online version here, or you can buy it as an ebook according to this page.

Word to the wise, it was published in 1994 and never revised, so it's over 20 years out of date.

Get a good lock and you'll be fine. When I lived there I used locking skewers and a U-lock. I never had any problems, even leaving it parked overnight.

This is 250 I think but maybe that would work? https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Appliance-Accessories-3-Wire-Closed-Eyelet/dp/B001DICWSG free prime shipping by Tuesday if you ordered fast

If I was I wouldn't tell you. This is what they use

Second this. I recently made this purchase myself, and I highly recommend it. I almost always have a beard, and I always hated having to cut it all down just to re-grow it. This kit helps me keep a solid beard all the time, regardless of the length I choose. Hope this helps

you can get it new on amazon for less than $40.

Amazon, of course.

You can actually rent Office Space on Amazon.

Best $250.00 I ever spent.

We also have three cats. We have big ass litter boxes https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HHLVA4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_g-1HAbFJHC4XJ.

To get an idea of how big they are, look at the pictures in the reviews of kids sitting in them.

We also use crystal litter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002PBCQDG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gb2HAb03C2BV3.

We found this litter lasts a ton longer. It's no barrel, but maybe worth checking out.

Why not get a pair of those barefoot runner shoes? The ones that basically just rubber covering the bottom of your foot? Sorry Idk what they're called.

But these things

Vibram Fivefingers KSO Water Shoes (Black/black, 42 M) - M148 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001JYKLC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_GXlzzb06H23B5

I just use one of these

Seriously though, "free" parking is hard to come by. You aren't paying to park your car, you are paying to park your car NOW.

If you enjoyed that, he also did a book on the Marjorie Jackson murder that's pretty good.

Scavengers: a true story of money, madness and murder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073Y1CLW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NM4UDbZVA13WC

Thank you Viper1995, my energy has waned while yours is skyrocketing. I've fought signage and blight for 'a while', and it's a bitch. Let me dump my brain:

1. A group approach for bandit signs is best for the actual cleanup. One person doing it gets old fast. There are other organizations that might be interested in this, like Keep Indianapolis Beautiful (http://www.kibi.org) though signage has never been their thing. MCANA used to help with signage but they're moribund. There's three ways to deal with bandit signs afaik:
   

• Tear them down, obviously
  
• Cut off the last 2 numbers of the phone number listed on them. Lets bandits know they're being watched.
  
• Spray paint over part of the phone number using one of these to eliminate the need for ladders: https://www.amazon.com/4most-Innovations-GSP0205-Sprayer-Extension/dp/B0042T5PBO It looks janky af but it works.
  
  
  

2. The City of Indy has zero interest in bandit signs, and near-zero interest in illegal signage. The signage blight goes beyond bandit signs - it includes illegal pendant signs, illumination of windows and rooflines using LED/LCD lights, various types of banners, etc. Probably a fourth of bus (Indygo) bench signs are placed illegally. Signs that in number and/or collective size are too big for a retail facade are illegal. But I've filed a couple hundred reports through Request Indy (web or app), I'd guess half are blown off with no action taken, even when the violation is super obvious. Code Enforcement have been really helpful when I've talked to/emailed them to ask about something they missed; they're just flooded with requests. I've also met with the last two township liasons for my side of town, and while supportive of me taking down illegal signs (as they are considered trash), they were all talk.
   
   
3. The growth in illegal signage has been stunning over the past 10 years, especially in poorer parts of town, like 25th and Keystone. Most signage, lights, etc you see around there are illegal. The biggest increase has been in pendant signs (10' pole with an 8' high x 2' wide cloth sign) and illumination of windows/rooflines. That stuff's rarely permitted, so the 5 million instances you see are illegal.
   
   
   
4. Tidbits
   

• The JMJ Associates outfit is a local Kirby door-to-door sales thing. There's a huge worldwide company called JMJ, this is not them.
  
• Somebody mentioned car dealers and realtors having exceptions - these are no longer legal after the Supreme Court ruled in their last term that local government cannot discriminate based on sign content.
  
• A couple years ago the city passed a law that graffiti on private property would be subject to a fine. This hasn't been enforced as it is constitutionally BS, it's like fining a shop owner for being robbed.
  
• The City has a law that cars cannot be sold on residential property, nor on the street. This hasn't been enforced as it is constitutionally BS. I contacted the Indiana ACLU about it (since the ACLU has beaten back such laws elsewhere), but the local chapter is uninterested.
