Things a gE’r was curious about that another gE’r couldn’t answer

Highway 281

I know this is shocking, especially coming from an eastern ks city boy like me, but I say 183.

I mean sure, I guess.

Great Bend plays in the Western Athletic Conference so I have always considered them west. Also when you're traveling east to west on 400 Pratt always seemed like the western gateway to me.

The correct answer is 183, east of Hays is central KS and west of Hays is western KS.

I think we found the answer to the OP. The Western Kansas line of demarcation is an unanswerable question.

But when I really think about it I do think that western ks starts earlier in southern ks than it does in northern ks.  Like, I agree that Great Bend should be in the west, or at least on the border. So what if the border starts in the south along 281 and extends north until it reaches I-70.  Then it takes a left turn to Hays before extending north along 183 through Phillipsburg and to the Nebraska border.  So Hays is still the gateway to the west further north, but in the south it's Pratt and Great Bend.  Yes, I think we've done it, good job everyone.

As long as we all agree that Garden City is the capitol of western Kansas

What handgun should I buy?

What is your primary purpose for having one?

I'm way more curious about your question than his.

There are many options out there for many different purposes.  If he's just wanting something to go plink around with, there's this group over here.  If he's looking for a concealed carry gun for self defense, there's a group over there to choose from.  Bear defense while vision questing?  Take a look at this group here.

Osborne & Smith Center are north central Kansas.  Phillipsburg & Stockton are western Kansas. Victoria is western Kansas, but it’s a suburb of Hays. 

Russell is just no mans land.

The title of this thread is confusing. It seems to have turned into asking questions to gE'rs.

I guarantee you by New Yorkers, they mean people in NYC. It's actually Buffalo people who don't want to be called upstate, they consider themselves "WNY," Western New York. That 7% are Western New Yorkers now living in the city.

With how I titled it, I think the thread should have no replies because there’s never been an instance where gE couldn’t provide the answer, or at least an answer.

It's coming.  Also could be user error.

I haven't seen this mentioned in any other threads. My friend was telling me about this the other day. Is this really going to be built? Are any gE engineering elites involved with this project?

Ok have a good question—

If you on a major thoroughfare and are approaching an intersection with a light are you also responsible for not blocking intersections on side streets that have stop signs during a red light?

[sys]

like the line at the stoplight intersection is so long that it extends past the intersection with the next nearest cross street (that has a stop sign rather than light?)

Yes, but only on the side streets, not the main road. So the main road has the right of way.

[sys]

i think you don't have an obligation to leave it unblocked, but it would be courteous to allow drivers on the side street to complete a turn at some point.

[mocat]

you are a huge a-hole if you find yourself sitting in the middle of an intersection at a red
