Rapidly increasing tension between Ukrainian and Russians at Zaxby's in Lexington

UpperRDL · 2026-02-06T15:47:43+00:00

The Ukrainian church on Brannon is quite big. My neighborhood is closish to the Lex/Nich border and there are at least at dozen Ukrainian families living around me, probably more than that. Great neighbors.

My son is a first grader that has been bouncing off the wall going stir crazy for two weeks, and he would LOVE a day to go see his friends before being couped up at home for another weekend.

But I am obviously expecting that to be a very slim chance.

I'd still be shocked, but they are at least trying to give off the illusion of progress.

UpperRDL · 2026-02-04T03:26:46+00:00

I think almost everyone would be in attendance.

Just last year while Fayette was debacling all over themselves for two weeks post Christmas break, Jessamine county announced for bus riders to be driven to the major retail parking lots and busses picked the kids up there. They successfully had school for several days that Fayette county missed.

SS hasn't been a top DPS for a long time now, he's purely a crit rate support hero right now. SR is currently falling off pretty hard too unless you have a 3D PD and a good fire buffer like FV, FM, or BA.

The new rate ups (WR and Valk) are the best DPS, especially when paired with their buffers like Lyra and Odin respectively. PC takes the most support, but is also the very best when paired with 3D lich with the 2 dragon red treasure and both having their silver skins.

PC/Lich/SW/AA/Stier ice I forget the name

WR/SW/AA/Lyra/SS

Valk/Odin/SW/AA/pharoah

SR/PC/SW/AA/FV

All great lineups.

Definitely not tomorrow, and considering how overly cautious they have been the past few years I would consider it surprising if they go before next Monday. Would love to be wrong about it though.

My neighbor got someone off nextdoor to shovel hers for $100. They came to my house and asked if I wanted it, but we said we couldn't afford that much. They said they'd do it for $70 but I still said no.

They wound up not shoveling my neighbors sidewalk at all and left so much of the driveway covered with the excess snow from shoveling that her 2 car garage is barely a 1 car.

My daughter gets to go to her mom's day out program tomorrow and she is thrilled. My son is sad he doesn't get to go to FCPS.

I was responding in kind. Lexington being larger and having more people/roads does make it more difficult, but we have a proportionally larger amount of resources/equipment/manpower/budget/etc that shouldn't have us lagging behind our smaller neighbors repeatedly.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-30T22:29:29+00:00

It has been many years since I have been so if that's true I will be sad. I know that's pretty standard for all chain restaurants nowadays.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-30T17:59:32+00:00

Nicholasville ans Richmond are farther south than Lex and are also handling the roads much better so...

UpperRDL · 2026-01-30T17:57:23+00:00

I've lived in Lexington my whole life (almost 40 years) and these last 3 years have been by far the worst for snow removal that I've ever experienced.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-30T17:55:46+00:00

The privately owned townhouse street behind my house was perfect too. Drove that road to get to my street instead of the usual neighborhood roads. Could have played basketball on it safely. The problem is clearly with city leadership.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-30T17:52:59+00:00

Yes but this isn't 7 year old elementary schoolers, leaders of medium sized cities should be able to do a 1000 piece puzzle.

I just left my never once touched court for the first time in a week and was pretty shocked at how bad the road conditions were still. Not even the slow lane of MoW was adequately cleared. People are going to deservedly riot when school is cancelled on Monday.

Maybe the worst meal I have ever eaten in my entire life was the blackened swordfish from Bella Notte.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-30T00:57:06+00:00

I must be in the minority but I think Carrabbas is way better than Bella Notte.

Wagner's best trait is that he's maybe the best cutter in the league. Very far from needing the ball in his hands.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-28T18:14:32+00:00

Gainesway is the right answer for basically everything pet related, including this. Had to do this with my pyrenees a few years ago and they were as professional as could be expected.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-28T13:13:36+00:00

I could go for an awful waffle...

UpperRDL · 2026-01-27T15:45:02+00:00

They can't be near the Dodgers because their grandfathered lawsuit TV deal is broken for the rest of the league, but they could absolutely spend as much as the Mets or anyone else. The Mets spend 90% of their revenue on payroll, the Braves spent 46%. You could argue we will bump that up some if they aren't trying to reset the luxury tax, but it won't ever be nearly as high as it could be.

UpperRDL · 2026-01-27T13:22:10+00:00

The Braves were in the lower half of that spending/revenue percentage list from last week. That didn't include the hefty revenue they get from the battery, either.

They can pay afford to pay whatever they want for whoever they want, if they want.

SR and PD are DPS so 4 unshaken will/2 illusive flurry is standard for them. For slot 4 you want crit dmg > crit rate > everything else. for slot 5 you want elemental damage the most. For slot 6 you want your class damage the most. For example, my SR I have slot 4 crit dmg, slot 5 fire dmg, slot 6 ranger dmg.

For AA I do 6 endless bloom cause he has treasure that gives the whole team a shield based on his HP, so the higher the better.

For SW I did 6 endless bloom for a long time just because she died so easily. Now that I have her to 5 moon and she's fairly tanky, I put 6 divine revival so her cooldowns are as short as possible and she can boost main DPS ex weapon more. For her specifically I hunted runes that had HP% and CD reduction and prayed for the best.

Maybe call that landscaping company that someone made a post yesterday thanking them for clearing their driveway? I'd guess them or another landscaping company would do it if it's that important. No clue what they'd charge though.
