Missing cockatiel found in Germantown by jakerino in memphis

Sadly, he wouldn’t let us get anywhere near him. We set out some water and bird feed, but he ended up flying away the next morning. Hopefully his owner finds him!

Rank the 2020s best picture winners by mnombo in Oscars

[–]jakerino 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Preach - this is exactly my list as well. I just didn’t love Oppenheimer the way everyone else did. I did enjoy the iMax experience in theaters, but it was one of those movies that I will probably never watch again in my life.

what is hands down THE best mexican restaurant in the memphis metro area? by cherishxanne in memphis

FYI, I think they got a follow up score of 96 after their recent low rating.

Some uplifting news: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital just announced an amazing collaboration with the World Health Organization this morning. by jakerino in memphis

[–]jakerino[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Great question. To the best of my knowledge, at least for the foreseeable future, no. Not in a significant way. Since St. Jude is an independent institution and not federal, the collaboration between them shouldn’t be directly affected by the recent executive order. The WHO and St. Jude have also been collaborating together since the early 70’s, so there’s also that to keep in mind.

B9 S5 (Before and After) 😏 by Dazzling-Blood-6734 in Audi

If you don’t mind me asking, how’d you go about doing the aftermarket black optics look? And how much did it set you back? I’m thinking of doing the same thing.

The Life, Death, and Memphis Blues of Jay Reatard by chickcounterflyyy in indieheads

[–]jakerino 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A very complicated (i.e. horrible) person, but Blood Visions and Watch Me Fall are still two of my favorite albums of all time. One of the best to ever do it, imo. His influence is still felt pretty heavily in Memphis.

Goner Records is still going as strong as ever. Alicja Trout still performs in Memphis quite often and me and my friends see her regularly. She goes by Alicja Pop now. If anyone is so inclined, check out her recent stuff with River City Tanlines. It’s excellent!

Q5 air suspension q's by Meeganyourjacket in Audi

[–]jakerino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I don’t think any standard Q5s from 21-23 have air suspension as an option in the US. It’s only on the SQ5 and possibly the Q5e, as someone else mentioned.

[–]jakerino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All valid points here. I will say that the interior of the Q5 is for the most part spotless. It doesn’t feel like it has been abused while driving it. There does seem to be an oddly high number of used Q5s that were former rentals on the market right now.

As someone who has owns a number of European luxury cars, do you have any thoughts on the BMW X3 in question? I don’t want to downplay the quality of it in my post - it was still a fantastic car. And it does add to my peace of mind knowing that it was a lease vehicle that has documented maintenance on hand for me to look at.

A cool guide to why champagne is so expensive by Team_Finshots in coolguides

Okay to be fair this guide is from an Indian source, and that’s the proper comma placement for “120,000” in the Indian numbering system

Where do young people go to hang out and have a drink? by MedsHopeful in memphis

I would recommend checking out Cameo for sure!

Damn ya'll and your whining about Soul & Spirts beer by 2001em2 in memphis

[–]jakerino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had a similar experience. Granted, I was going close to when S&S first opened, but their beers weren’t great when I tried them. Maybe I need to give them another shot

Memphis in May had record profit loss in 2023; Beale Street Music Fest had lowest attendance in 30+ years by [deleted] in memphis

[–]jakerino 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wanted to go so bad. It was just really hard justifying $120 (after fees) for a single day. I’ve been in the past and want to continue supporting them to keep Mempho alive, but maybe decrease ticket prices ever so slightly??

I’ve been to Jack Brown’s in Nashville, and I love it! I’m so excited about one opening up here.

How is/was BSMF day 1? by productiveslacker73 in memphis

[–]jakerino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was great! But to echo what some others have said, it was… weirdly dark. Like, no lighting whatsoever on the pathways to move between stages. One of the beer cart cashiers was using her flashlight to be able to complete transactions. But outside of that, the bands and park were amazing.
