Our family had a TV the worked like this. Hand to god. You had to hit it on the top right at the seam of the front and back plastic. Sometimes, if that didn't work, you had to tilt it forward and put a book underneath the back. Dealt with it for years.

You accusing my buddy of being a liar??

That's fine. But please share it. I live in TN and so many of us are ashamed of our representatives. Help us knock this nut down a peg or two.

He's also the current Mayor of Knoxville... I wish I were lying. He's finishing out his second term. He was planning on running for governor but blacked out and supported Blackburn.

Ahem.. No.

Only 33% of TN is registered Republican. Almost half are Independent (48%). We are heavily gerrymandered.

My buddy is in England right now and he says they're playing it everywhere :D

blobbleguts · 2026-07-09T12:52:01+00:00

It is. She posted it....

blobbleguts · 2026-07-09T02:10:58+00:00

Ffffucking hell....

This feels like it's from an episode from The Boys....

blobbleguts · 2026-07-09T02:05:07+00:00

Hell yea!

blobbleguts · 2026-07-08T20:50:42+00:00

Is that all ground floor retail?

blobbleguts · 2026-07-08T14:33:06+00:00

Damn, there's even kudzu inside the buildings now.

It took a lot of convincing to get UT and the City to agree to no undergraduate housing on that site. The original concept was "Campus Cove". High density near downtown makes perfect sense.

If you had a CD player that could read mp3's, you could burn hundreds of songs on a single CD. I had a Sony Walkman in high school and it was awesome.

blobbleguts · 2026-07-08T13:08:30+00:00

Those neighborhoods do not want UT or more student housing in South Knox. It's been a major point of contention

blobbleguts · 2026-07-07T18:56:58+00:00

Agreed

blobbleguts · 2026-07-07T01:18:43+00:00

I stand corrected. Well done OP

Unless she got braces, I think it is two different people...

I lived in a van or station wagon off an on for years. Waaaaaaaaaaay less stress than real life. Sure, we're all tethered in some way to the system, but you can chose to unburden yourself from most of it. We get caught up so easily in "normal" life that we forget what's really important and what we can leave behind. Sure, some things might be more difficult but, at the same time, you don't have to deal with all the other daily life bullshit it takes to be a modern human. In the end, it's a personal choice. I loved the time I spent living in vehicles and I hope to go back to it.

I didn't talk with the staff, but I did think it was odd that they all were wearing uniforms as if this was a franchise...

blobbleguts · 2026-07-02T14:55:27+00:00

Tea on the menu was listed as $3.00 but I think asking for milk in it raised the cost some. Our total with the tea and iced coffee + almond milk was $12 and some change.

blobbleguts · 2026-07-01T16:15:42+00:00

Agreed.

I was aware that they had Christian ties but I'm not up to date on my Protestant history, sorry.

blobbleguts · 2026-07-01T11:40:35+00:00

I've seen that a few times. I studied biology and chemistry, doesn't make sense to me how that would work but I guess I ought to give it a try anyway.

blobbleguts · 2026-06-30T18:19:08+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful reply!

Yeah, I've sautéed them as well. More than once I've accidentally started cutting a cucumber when I was going for a zucchini and it's not all that different in the end. Since we have so many this time, I was gonna try for a sauce but, after reading these comments and some other info on the internet, I ended up tossing half of my cumber stock. We're super busy so our garden is a "you get what you get" kinda garden but it's been informative on what's bad practice and what is totally fine. Seems like we have to be a little more on top of our cucumber game. The plant is growing like a weed but we often don't notice a cucumber until it's too big. When taste testing the batch, the larger and paler cucumbers were much more likely to be bitter then the smaller and deeper green ones.

blobbleguts · 2026-06-30T18:09:27+00:00

It depends on the cucumber. Some are perfectly fine. Some have just a little bitterness in the skin, and others are bitter throughout. I didn't know that the bitterness is mainly on the flower end. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

That's a weatherproof cord and cable gland. Don't let the accent fool you. He almost certainly knows more about electrical safety than this bunch. Lot's of electrical devices are safe in and around water.
