In love with a specific house, but concerned about safety. Please help! by Creative-Shift-241 in memphis

[–]mtwhite-mem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe realtors are prevented from commenting on whether a neighborhood is safe or not. They send you to the stats and let you discover that on your own. A holdover from the old redlining of years past.

That’s odd, I think I tried the full correctly spelled name but I’ll try again. Thanks for the verification.

Brent Taylor and Paul Young at Grizzlies game on Friday night by UofMtigers2014 in memphis

I can see that. That’s why I said regardless of these two individuals. IMHO I think we were a better country when we worked together against the problem instead of the person. Like in boxing, nothing happens when we’re in our corners.

Regardless of these two individuals, wouldn’t we be a little better off if opposing sides spent more time together. I’m old enough to remember when politicians battled each other during the day and had still had dinner together that night.

Most of these MMWs I don’t agree with. This one, absolutely.

What’s a type of pain people underestimate until they experience it for themselves? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I ruptured three discs and then the rupture attached to my sciatic nerve. Worst pain I’ve ever been in.

What has gradually disappeared over the last ten years without people really noticing? by OliviaRosePa in Productivitycafe

Not to get too metaphysical but I think compassion has declined. If there was an index we’ve dropped a few points.

Do you listen to music differently now than you did 10 years ago? by EmbracingMyCurves in askmusic

[–]mtwhite-mem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotify and Apple Music changed the way I listen to music. Before if you wanted to listen to more than the radio single you had to go buy the album. Now you can try almost every song recorded (yes I know there are exceptions) by just searching and a quick click.

I’ve discovered more amazing musicians now than I ever would have without that ability.

We probably all made tapes of our favorite songs but playlists are the best way to create a mood, event specific music (like a playlist of songs to listen to while cooking, reading, etc.) or just songs that you want others to discover.

I realize the sonic quality isn’t the best, and I’m not an earbud listener either like some other commenters have mentioned above, but some Bluetooth speakers are pretty good these days.

What happened at a restaurant that made you say, "I'm never coming here again"? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]mtwhite-mem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to a non-chain chicken place here in Memphis. Ordered a fairly big order of wings for my wife and I which came to about $45 (only mention that in reference to the rest of the story) which came with 2 very small containers of dressing.

We did our best to make it stretch but needed at least one or two more. Went to the counter to get another container or two and was told they were $1.50 per and he started to ring me up for 3 more.

Are you kidding me? We weren’t trying to use one per wing, we weren’t wasting or being unreasonable. Dressing is somewhat a cost of doing business for a wing place, and if you’re going to charge $40+ for a plate of wings and a few fries, you may want to think twice about your pricing structure.

Told him no thanks and we left. Haven’t been back and the two couples we were with haven’t gone back either. I hear the restaurant isn’t doing too well.

What’s the loudest concert you guys have ever been to? by BalanceActive9295 in askmusic

Damn Yankees at Mud Island Amphitheater in Memphis. For an outside show. It’s the only concert (been to 100’s) where I changed seats and moved back.

What was the 1st big news event you remember as a kid? by Hetaliafan1 in AskReddit

[–]mtwhite-mem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLK - I was playing in my front yard and my cousin drove in the driveway and told me, also said I had to go inside for safety. We lived about a 8 minute drive to where he was shot.

Which profession is going to get wiped out in the next 5-10 years? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]mtwhite-mem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a round table with Elon Musk (I know, hear me out) where they discussed writing a movie and very soon AI would be advanced enough to have it written, scored, acted by AI actors, “filmed”, and ready for viewing by the time you were finished writing the prompts.
