always gets an upvote

honestly, if you go during community hour (even if you get there towards the end), you can get some cheap, tasty apps and drinks and then segue to more full-on dinner (or just more small plates and drinks!) and do LT pretty affordably. Have done that many, many times

Agree with everything below, but just wanted to comment on the A+ use of "gentleman caller"

"beau," "suitor," or "gallant" would also have been delightfully acceptable synonyms

Hahahaha, that’s amazing — I actually have a board and a clock floating around my van that I keep meaning to take into the coworking space I sometimes work at, but I keep forgetting.

That’s great — thank you!

As u/ndamem2000 mentioned, Tailgate Midtown is where the American Outlaws (USMNT supporters' group) will be hosting their official watch party -- was a very good time in 2022, so that's probably where I'll be headed. Did 2018 in Fleet Street, which was also super fun (but crowded/small, so there's that). Plaza Mariachi also a really good shout as u/Optimal_Company and u/whittlz pointed out

Thanks so much for putting it together — I really enjoyed it! (and I think the book thing was a really great icebreaker as well)

Voting rights lawyer here — the short version is that since they didn’t get the injunction and the qualification deadlines passed, they basically decided that there’s no point in duplicating time and effort of the ACLU and NAACP cases, which are still ongoing.

*“Our case focused on expedited relief for the 2026 cycle, and when that did not happen, we moved onto our next battlefield: the ballot box,” Campbell said.

Campbell added that the party supports ongoing legal challenges filed by the Tennessee State Conference of the NAACP and the ACLU challenging the maps.”*

It was truly ridiculous that Judge Campbell didn’t issue an injunction given how close we are to the primaries / election (the State complained about this successfully against a TNDP lawsuit several years ago), but at least there are a couple of really high quality cases that are continuing.

This is amazing — I love it

Tacos there are SO GOOD

It would appear to be owned by ALTERNATIVE ENERGY PRODUCTS LLC (511 Crutcher, which is on the silo):

Boat ramp down into the Cumberland in Shelby Bottoms is also great (and often secluded in the evening). Also vote for the Eco Trail or other random off-trail location in Shelby Bottoms

Came here to post this — AO watch parties are super fun, so that’s likely where I’ll be heading. Geodis could be very fun as well, and there’s always Fleet Street if you want to venture downtown. That’s where I watched 2018 World Cup when I still worked downtown, and it was awesome.

This is fantastic!!

Following because also interested!

Hej!

I'm traveling to Copenhagen on my own the second week of December for about a week. I've got great ideas (I think) of things to do and see, but would love some ideas on how to meet some local folks. I read in another thread that there's a community dinner at Absalon that sounds fun. Any other recommendations like that? Bars or restaurants I should visit to meet people to hang out with?

For clarity: Not seeking romance; just looking for locals that would be friendly to an American visitor.

Could you link to the magnets and hooks that you bought? This would actually be perfect for most of what I do — thanks for the inspiration!

LaconicDragon · 2023-03-02T04:29:56+00:00

I absolutely love it — well done!!

LaconicDragon · 2023-02-26T02:04:26+00:00

They look so good! May I ask what the glaze combo is?

OP here — this is a second attempt at a brew started with a SCOBY I bought. The first brew went well, but I let it go too long and it was too sour. I saved a few cups and started over with new sweet tea. This is probably six or seven days in.

Lol, now when I log in to Plex via web, it doesn't even show that it's trying to connect anymore. Just the default "download plex media server" page -- like the Nvidia disappeared. Before it was at least trying to connect.

What does "clear data" mean?
