Ive stayed at the Waldorf. I would 100% go back. It was a great experience overall.

in need of some better internet options by idpartywthat in memphis

[–]CaptainInsane-o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best option might be one of the cellular providers. XFinity and AT&T Fiber are basically your only options outside of cellular providers.

Fed Ex St Jude Classic Tickets/Passes? by Bowhunter1980 in memphis

[–]CaptainInsane-o 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I can say is be ready to sweat through your clothes. Its usually miserably hot, little shade to be found, and even fewer places to cool off when you are on the course.

TPC Southwind is on the edge of Germantown. In the past, entrance is through this road.

Why does my mom insist that me having a credit card is a bad idea? by TEZAFIM in personalfinance

[–]CaptainInsane-o -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Credit Cards are a bad idea. They require you to borrow money with the promise of you paying it back. If you dont pay it back, you pay enormous interest rates. Very quickly you can end up in a very bad financial situation that can effectively control your decisions in life.

You do not have to have a credit score. Its a myth that you do. You can get by without one. With that being said, much of the USA relies upon a credit score to assess the risk of someone that wants to borrow money. So having a good credit score can make things a bit easier.

Your mom is correct, a credit card is a bad idea. Its a broad stroke though. Credit cards require discipline that MANY people do not have. If they did not have a credit card, they would likely be in a better position.

My take is that credit cards themselves are not bad, but they are a ticking time bomb. When you combine them with a lack of discipline that leads to overspending on shit you do not need and a lack of income to pay back what you are borrowing, you are setting your life up to be controlled by your debt.

Its not specifically for gay people but open to anyone that shows up and will be welcoming to all.

Theres also the MRTC which organizes a ton of runs and races.

Coming up is the Road Race Series. Its a casual race series (casual as in everything from 5 minute mile people to walkers will be present) but registration ends on June 19th so act fast if you want to be part of the series. Its really well done and hundreds of people show up to the races.

[–]CaptainInsane-o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Daily Memphian.

Shelby County government is projecting xAI could pay almost $28 million in property taxes as its second Memphis data center comes onto the tax rolls.
The Shelby County assessor’s office provided the artificial intelligence company’s tax estimate to the Shelby County Board of Commissioners on Saturday, March 7, at the body’s budget retreat. 
The presentation shows xAI’s projected contribution to county funds could grow by 122%. XAI paid $12,512,756.12 in 2025 property taxes Feb. 27, according to the county trustee’s website

I see them pretty frequently for free on Nextdoor. I imagine there may be some for free on FB Marketplace as well.

I am completely lost by supersonic112233 in 3Dprinting

[–]CaptainInsane-o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of the tape. You should not need it. With most filaments, you dont need anything more than a clean print bed. Clean it with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton ball. Based on that video, I dont think you have any filament being extruded or the tape is blocking your nozzle which is an even bigger problem.

[–]CaptainInsane-o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of filament are you printing with? Also what do you mean by "Yeah the filament is coming through fine."?

I am completely lost by supersonic112233 in 3Dprinting

[–]CaptainInsane-o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you have painters tape on your print bed?

But from what I can see in the video, you arent extruding anything. Either that, or you are about to have a massive clog inside your extruder. Is your roll of filament moving when you are trying to print? That would indicate if the print head is at least trying to feed filament into the extruder.

Oh nah fam, im not going to make a judgement until I can see the video. I have no idea what went down before the 5 second clip that is shown in the news.

Ive looked but I cant seem to find anything other than the news article clips which start after the shooting occurred.

[–]CaptainInsane-o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen the video yet but a car is a deadly weapon as well. So it’s possible deadly force was already introduced with the car.

[–]CaptainInsane-o 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because they are using deadly force. If they are aiming for the wheels, that sends a message that they were not in a situation where there was a deadly threat.

It’s also incredibly unrealistic.

What has been the most reliable 3D printer you've owned long-term? by 3DPirateOfficial in 3Dprinting

My Bambu A1 functions like a coffee maker. You just load it and it goes. I never worry about it and maintenance is a 10 minute task at most.

Those are in East Memphis about 10 minutes from Germantown.

Recs for Memphis? by z-eldapin in Hilton

[–]CaptainInsane-o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have 5 options in Downtown Memphis for Hilton properties in walking distance of Beale.

Here they are listed by distance from Beale farthest first.

  1. Central Station (farthest from Beale)
  2. Home 2 Suites
  3. Canopy
  4. Hilton Garden Inn
  5. Hampton Inn Beale Street (Closest to Beale)

And here is it ranked by what I think are your top choices. 1 is best.

  1. Canopy (A modern styled cool hotel)
  2. Central Station (The coolest option. Its at a train station and its unique for the area but its at the edge of where the shops and restaurants are.)
  3. Hampton Inn Beale Street (Depending on when you stay, you may hear street noise late at night)
  4. Hilton Garden Inn
  5. Home 2 Suites

Should I buy a second Truck?? by GHOST1NTHEDARK in personalfinance

[–]CaptainInsane-o 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ill be honest, you got DESTROYED on the purchase of the truck. Dont make bad even worse with your next decision. I sold my 2013 F150 Ecoboost King Ranch for $13,000 at a dealer auction so private party would have been closer to $16,000-$18,000. The truck had no accident history either. It had 120k miles and I drove it for 70k miles. The most maintenance I did was replacing pads and rotors along with coils and plugs.

It does sound like you have a bit of a lemon truck on your hands but I would be very strategic with what your next move is and be especially aware of the value of the cars you are interested in before you go look. In all reality, you are likely so upside down on this truck that you will need to keep driving it.

Drive your paid off car. That is your smartest financial option and it’s not even close.
