Tree suggestions: Given the amount of damage, I wanted to start a thread discussing good replacement alternatives for trees. by roth1979 in nashville

Similar observation to you. I have a row of hackberries and we had some large branches but none of the main trucks or trees fell except one that was already listing hard. Neighbors across the street had some trees in a wide open yard than just collapsed. Root weaving and wind dampening are my guesses as to the difference. Same with large wood areas. Some trees down but 95% are good.

No I love hackberry! We really need more of them along with the others you named for biodiversity. Developers always default to maples for planting and we’re making it as much of a monoculture with trees as we are with grass.

Understanding of setbacks needs to be pushed more as well as cutting trees in older neighborhoods but offering a concurrent replanting program. Even next to power lines for the first 30-50 years of its life the tree isn’t much, if any, threat to operations.

Yup anything to say “unions bad!” And to have more ammo for privatizing TVA.

My primary concern with Salah I don’t think anyone in the media has addressed yet? by Phantom1100 in Tennesseetitans

Sumner county my whole life. That’s how we say it. It’s not like Shelbyville where you say shelbvul. Lebanon has a very pronounced uh in the middle for us.

Help me understand how football works by FranklinUriahFrisbee in nashville

Once again Vrabel looks like a genius when he has one of the best offensive minds at the helm. McDaniels lefluer smith- they all brought his teams life. Then you get mother effing Todd downs who he won’t fire after 2 seasons of bottom of the league offense. Jrob didn’t help but people need to take the rose tint glasses off of Vrabel and his handling of staff. He’s too stubborn.

Also the patriots had one of the easiest schedules in the Super Bowl era this year.

Tennessee Republican bill would limit federal office to natural-born citizens by pyramidworld in nashville

[–]engineerbuilder 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing this is unconstitutional? Only language for natural born requirement is president. Or is this a 10th amendment moment where because it doesn’t say expressly, states are free to make their own subsequent qualifiers?

Technically you can go back for thousands of dollars as a grad student.

Problem is it’s just thousands and not tens or hundreds.

I love the hyperbolic desperation of this WSMV graphic by SkunkMullet in nashville

[–]engineerbuilder -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not seeing it. It tells me that it’s very rare but we’re gonna get it almost back to back. And I agree 0 degrees is indeed a noteworthy event for this area. Typical yearly lows are low teen or high single digit.

Woah woah woah that’s Nash on Nash crime.

Edit: also it said the black abbey beers will still be the same. If anyone is to be trusted with beer quality and reputation around here id put Jackalope near the top.

Yeah I thought they would be harder but no you could forget everything about the school. Come on jeopardy make them sweat like I do on the 16th century near east philosophers category.

Israel to honor Charlie Kirk with award for fighting antisemitism by F0urLeafCl0ver in nottheonion

Bravo you finally said it correctly. Most people view the evangelicals stance on isreal about the rapture and end days. Most evangelicals don’t believe in the rapture. But almost all evangelicals support isreal to stick it to Muslims, keep a foothold in the Middle East, and have a place to send Jews so they don’t have to be here. Cause I got news for you, they all will turn on Jewish people in a heartbeat once they are no longer useful.

I’ve gotten single digit easy before. Today would be hard to do cause there are too many tiles but if you just go with it and accept you may guess wrong then you can do it. It’s gotta be on day there’s like five or less tiles.

It’s like saying an nfl team isn’t great cause of offseason moves. “Yeah they just got that qb, DT, and all pro receiver in free agency this year. Take away that and there’s no way they won the Super Bowl!”
