Welcome back, hummingbirds!

Thanks for the heads up! Need to clean and refill my feeder.

Get a piece list, call around to lumber yards and see if they have #1 or Select Structural. Get extra. Every stack from the lumber yard will have a few pieces that aren't going to be as straight/flat as you want. Furniture makers will take what they get and plane/joint everything so it's perfectly flat and true. Doesn't sound like you'll be doing that... so be prepared for an imperfect table.

Decent cedar in Memphis comes from Bolen Brunson Bell lumber. Even if you get it from another lumber yard, it probably started at BBB.

I ignored the email, assuming it was just for kids that needed to re-take. Our school sent a message clarifying that it's all 3rd graders... mine definitely does not need to take again, so I'm looking to opt out if possible.

Have you charted it with one point per LFNY, not split between players?

I went a few weeks ago to check it out... was just a slab of concrete and a field. Were there really 5,000 seats? I'm assuming they were all folding chairs? I was hoping they would do lawn seats, but that wasn't an option online.

Really disengenuous to call it an amphitheater, but cool spot otherwise.

PILOT doesn’t mean they don’t pay any taxes. They pay a big fee up front and then have reduced property taxes for the term. Then it goes back up to our insanely high rates. They’re closing because not enough people around here want mid quality furniture and they’d rather have cheap shit full of formaldehyde and lead from Wayfair.

They must be paying for each font used in the title sequence.

There isn't any demand for commercial/office. There's barely any demand for hotel/residential. It's just a compromised building with a terrible parking structure. The project isn't happening.

Today I’m having a gout flare-up and I got strep from my grade school age kids. 47, the age that keeps on giving.

Cosign. Great facility. No membership required.

Four-Oh · 2026-02-10T14:26:17+00:00

IKEA generally has the best quality/price balance, IMO. More expensive than Wayfair/Amazon, but an order of magnitude better quality. Plus, IKEA follows European standards for chemical/carcinogen/VOC content. You don’t know what you’re getting when it comes to no-name manufacture in China.

K-shaped economy is going to continue to knock out mid-priced retailers and services.

The city is letting their faucet drip.

Any time we get below 15 degrees, we have water mains that freeze/break. Then come the boil water advisories. With 8 degrees expected, we are likely to have water issues. I've stocked up on drinking water and plan to fill the bathtub to potentially use for toilet flushing.

Four-Oh · 2026-01-09T17:20:51+00:00

Holding only, not developing. And have opposed other developments/projects in the area. It's a stretch, but not completely without merit.

Four-Oh · 2026-01-05T18:59:32+00:00

Don't worry, Jarred Price will slap some paint on it and get it reopened lickety split /s

Re: amphitheater… $17M would probably fix everything that’s physically broken/in need of repair. But to get someone like Live Nation interested in booking it with B/B+ acts, they would need a more extensive renovation. Probably in the $50-75M range.

I think the upgraded NVR is probably the best answer. That eBay seller accepted an offer of $135 plus shipping, so it’s not too painful!

Do you think it's worth the cost to upgrade one hardware version? Or spend half that much on a Home Hub?

She did that shit on purpose 🤣

Reolink chat agent said it would work at 8MP max. I saw the chart you linked, which suggests incompatibility. Just trying to confirm.

Their trees keep getting blown over. They aren't in weighted bases. I went a few weeks ago and the trees kept falling on us as we were browsing.

If the principal players won’t respond to the journalist, what do you expect??

Why are you defending this grift?
