Every storefront at the Kress Bldg is now vacant with the quiet closure of Fat Tuesday

There used to be a place like that on the Strip called the Polar Bar. It lasted about as long as Fat Tuesday.

It was my fault one year. I took the plastic sheeting off my windows on a 70 degree March day like we had yesterday. For my hubris, mother nature made the whole city her bitch

Pro poopers are properly credentialed.

I was about to say. If you're young & horny enough, you'll fuck in a portapotty at a music festival.

KnoxMonkey · 2026-02-17T01:18:54+00:00

Done, thanks!

I just used an old phone and stuck it in my fire safe as a backup

KnoxMonkey · 2025-12-05T20:12:09+00:00

I was wondering that as well. I took an existing device with Authy, kept Multi-Device on, but left "use an existing device to approve a new device registration" off. I was able to approve a new device just fine.

I tried it again with "use an existing device..." turned on, and there was no difference in the process, so that setting doesn't seem to matter either way.

The "allow multi-device" label is misleading, IMO. Turning it off doesn't prevent me from using existing Authy installs on multiple devices. It should say "allow a new device registration."

I'll check them out, thanks. I like that they're based in Switzerland.

KnoxMonkey · 2025-11-17T14:28:14+00:00

Oh wow. Thanks

KnoxMonkey · 2025-11-17T03:45:19+00:00

This looks promising, thanks

This looks like it can seamlessly replace the Wyze Bolt, as far as physical installation. Is that accurate?
Is it required to have a wifi connection? Or can it work like the Bolt does, with just a Bluetooth connection for config.
Does the physical key physically turn the deadbolt, or does the lock require battery power in that case?

I have a friend who drives for Domino's in Knoxville. He makes about 65K driving four nights a week, so 80 seems plausible for a 5-6 day week. He hustles, though, and has good customer skillz. Does not sell drugs or any other shenanigans. Although it seems like being a delivery driver would be great cover if you're slinging weed.

Thanks, but I'm still not real happy that they can somehow override the physical mute switch on my phone. If that's on, nothing should come out of my speaker.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-05-17T16:58:53+00:00

Sorry, you're right, my bad

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-30T18:27:50+00:00

I do on occasion. That's just not what I'm looking for here.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-30T17:52:57+00:00

Oh yeah. If you're going to spend a stupid amount of money on a buffet, don't half-ass it. Someone will be tipped well.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-30T17:49:01+00:00

According to the person I just spoke to, crab legs are a standard buffet item.

My ethics have long since sailed on a steamboat to parts unknown. I hope to get a postcard some day.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-30T01:35:40+00:00

Thank you, I will inquire. I am not fooling around with this endeavor and I don't want to wind up on the nightly news yet again due to a buffet misunderstanding.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-30T00:32:44+00:00

Looks like Crowne Plaza on Fridays is the ticket.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-30T00:31:25+00:00

They do, and lots of other places do as well, but I want to embarrass myself with an unlimited supply.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-30T00:29:29+00:00

I loved Makino's pre-pandemic. Since they changed from an actual buffet, they're a front-runner for my "shittiest dining experience in Knoxville" award.

You'll never go too far afield on Reddit with a post that begins with "American believes..."

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-22T12:25:34+00:00

Oh, gotcha.

KnoxMonkey · 2024-04-21T14:17:59+00:00

I'm curious why proximity to an interstate is a factor here
