Deviled egg platter

Going to a Friendsgiving this Saturday. I was late to sign up for something on the food list and am now tasked with bringing the deviled eggs. I'd like to bring 3 to 4 dozen and absolutely refuse to boil and peel that many eggs.🤭 Does anyone in town do catering platters of deviled eggs?

Any in or around town use Mint mobile?

Looking to reduce expenses while maintaining usability. I do spendtime camping at the nearby state parks and fishing the lakes so coverage outside of town would matter too. Their map says the state is covered, but I'd like the opinion of actual user with experience. I have t-mobile currently.

Someone is storing stolen car in the house next to me what do I should I do?

Hello so people have/are storing stone vehicles in the abandon house next to us in the driveway they recently switched the stolen vehicles places. I was suspicious at first but now I can officially confirm that they’re stolen because they hotwires them when they came and switched the vehicles. I’m kinda worried to connect police cuz it become a big show and I want to remain anonymous for safety reasons. What should I do ?

Long shot - looking for a bassist - practicing today

Hello internet,

This is sort of a throwaway long shot, but, long story short, I'm in a blues band with my buds (mid-late 20s) and our bassist had to step out for some family stuff. We have been playing steadily in Lawrence and are about to go into some great shows next year.

Looking for someone willing to try us out but serious enough to work and gig. We think we have a pretty good thing going and will have steady work.

After a quick DM, I'll hit you up with the address. Downtown Topeka. Thanks!!

Or is there maybe a good credit card I can apply for to cover this stuff?

Any LGBTQ friendly doctors in town?

Nothing against my current doctor, but concerning lifestyle prescriptions he didn't want to touch because he wasn't knowledgeable enough on the medications. Plus there's the whole "feeling comfortable with my doctor" concern.

Thanks for any help.

Where is Steve Drain now? And has he reestablished contact with Lauren?

Doss anyone know what's happened to him now that he's been kicked out? And does anyone know why that happened? He was one of the most vociferous Westboro members of all.

Warhammer or other war games

Are there any groups that play warhammer, 40k, AoS, marvel crisis protocol, etc? I know there is gatekeeper but it seems to be super scarce on this side of things. And spawn inn doesn’t seem to have much room or events. I am having difficulty finding people to play with.

Amateur guitar player in search of people to play with.

I’m a full time husband and father who works a full time job. So I don’t have a lot of free time. But I’m also a novice guitar player and would really like some people to jam with when I can. Anybody in Topeka interested?

Olive Cafe

Olive Cafe shut down in March to move to a new location. Since then, I know they opened up a bodega at their old location, but does anyone know when the restaurant itself will be back? I haven't seen any updates on the facebook page.

Topeka is #2, after San Jose, above San Francisco and NYC

Hi. I'm a business librarian in upstate New York. I was just updating reports in our library and stumbled on this map, included in the "AI Global Skills Outlook." It lists Topeka as the #2 AI Hotspot in the USA.

I am wondering what that means for folks in Topeka? What does it look like? Are there new companies coming in? Are they bringing staff from CA and TX or from other countries? Or it empty buildings with small staff (like data centers)? Or is it top secret?

Did anyone see a couple strange floating objects by Wanamaker?

Two objects, fairly low. Looked almost transparent about 20-30 feet up. Moving pretty fast. Almost like smoke plumes but staying in one shape.
