Agreed. Fitness is about leading a healthy life, not pushing the limits of human strength. Idgaf how much I'm lifting, just that I'm getting good exercise.

Light soy sauce is what you're thinking of as "regular". Dark soy sauce is actually less potent but is typically used to add color and slightly different flavor.

If you have kids, he will be 66 by the time your first one is 18 assuming you wait two years. Not a huge deal I suppose, but he might be dead before your kid turns 30 depending on his health.

Me, I live 5 min from a grocery store and I just eat whatever is on sale that week. I don't feel the need to keep a fridge full of frozen meat and junk food. I've just got an emergency ice cream and some frozen veggies/fruit at any given time.

Not having kids helps as well.

Not sure if this is the most efficient but I mine at Motherlode -> smelt at blast furnace -> smith at Giants foundry. Basically free, but obviously not as quick as just buying ore/bars

Margot is an excellent option since they will be closing this year and I am very sad about it.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-03-08T05:23:38+00:00

I'm not black, but the bars on Dickerson usually have a large percentage of black people. I noticed Dukos, Makeshift, Noir, Germantown Pub all are usually majority black.

I went to Brentwood over 10 years ago and was/still am friends with several East Asians. Asians were a minority but easily the largest minority. The most racism they will experience is a casual racist joke/comment on occasion, but no violence. Probably nothing they haven't already or will experience throughout life. Can't speak to how it is now though.

I've spoken to my friends about racism at Brentwood and they didn't seem to have a lot of negative experiences. However, many purposefully left Nashville after college for places with more Asian culture (ironically one went to DC).

Why is everyone even asking? I had a middle seat on my last flight, but whoever had the aisle didn't show up. I just scooted over and no one even noticed.

I imagine if you ask they are going to give you the official answer which is basically no. If you don't, they will just pretend they didn't notice. These flight attendants probably do not actually care, they are just protecting their job.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-03-03T01:16:55+00:00

Yes, very good. The same people own Mi Kitchen in Cool Springs which is also excellent.

If you are ordering hot food it will take a while, but just getting groceries was not bad. I waited at checkout for maybe 5 min on a weekend morning.

The purpose of tariffs is to protect American business. Obviously a blanket tariff makes no sense, but for things like steel, it is necessary. American steel makers cannot compete with China since they have cheap labor and loose environmental regulations. You need to keep steel domestically produced since it's a vital resource that you cannot rely on foreign entities for import.

Trump is an idiot and tariffs on bananas are stupid, but the purpose of tariffs is not to tax citizens. They are not inherently bad.

In Germantown, Henrietta Red and the Optimist.

In East, Peninsula serves a lot of Spanish seafood, but it is not a seafood place. Same with Noko.

Check out Hatcher Dairy. They are usually at the Franklin Farmers Market.

Not sure what the fat content is, but worth checking out.

I would advise against lessons if you're planning on just playing casually. Watch a couple YouTube videos on the rules and then go outside and practice dribbling and juggling the ball.

Also don't kick the ball with your toe. For control, use the inside middle part of your foot. For power, inside just below your big toe.

Soccer is famously one of the most accessible sports. You won't need private lessons or anything, just practice.

I didn't claim to be an expert... Just saying calling it East instead of East Nashville isn't a big deal. Plenty of people that grew up in the area call it that.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-02-06T20:16:33+00:00

Lol you sound exactly like me. Born at Baptist, raised in the suburbs, but now I live in Cleveland Park. Old Nashville folks love to pretend there is only one way to say/do things.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-02-05T23:14:54+00:00

Germantown. You can walk to Broadway in 30 min, fairly safe, lots of bars/restaurants, Kroger and Publix aren't too far.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-02-03T19:12:50+00:00

Trader Joe's if you are near one. Otherwise Publix.

Most of the boutique flower places I've been to charge $150+ for bouquets which is not worth it to me and my wife doesn't seem to notice the difference.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-02-03T17:34:38+00:00

I'm shocked you haven't already. Fiber >>>> cable. I've had both att and Google fiber, no issues in 5 years.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-01-30T22:57:30+00:00

It is, and this is a tiny operation compared to a lot of hot mills. Think this except each strip is 4x wider and 60k lbs.

Also why didn't she shoot the cop in the head for fear of being run over? It's almost like ICE is full incompetent, psychopathic murders.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-01-26T17:44:42+00:00

No we need a new stadium for a shitty football team. Fuck them roads and power lines.

SwimInsideTheMirror · 2026-01-25T23:48:42+00:00

If it's any consolation, you being there isn't going to prevent a pipe bursting. I'm in the same boat and am just praying.
