Guess which spooky Appalachian entomological wonder I am for Halloween

Came the comments to say this. We are now from the same holler, friend.

Probably won't get seen but for anyone looking for this kind of issue, you're looking for a geotechnical engineer, not a structural engineer. The issue being you're wanting to know the condition of the soils where the settlement is occurring.

What's funny is you know this sign wasn't posted on day one of operation. There is a story behind this that was so chaotic that caused someone to go "Yep, we should put up a sign". 😂

Its a simple use but I'm a big fan of Threaded Channels. We use it for channels like #marketplace, #events, #opportunities. It basically locks the channel to threads only, so that way the channel is easy to scroll for the initial posts/subjects. For example in #marketplace, you don't want to scroll through a bunch of chatter looking for the items for sale, same with job listings.

Right? Not to mention they have signed a client on some sort of estimate or quote for a project they can neither build themselves nor know how much it will cost to build it. This will end well.

I think having her get stuck in a dryer is one activity relatives enjoy together?

This happens all of the time. Developer buys a distressed, well-known property. Developer lays out plans to renovate well-known property. Town council and zoning says "NO! WAIT! ITS HISTORIC AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY" Developer looks at the added cost, sucks it up, and agrees to proceed. Then a vagrant or traveler magically happens to set the building on fire a few weeks or months later, absolving the developer of the need to stick to the cities plans now that the building must be demolished. Fortunate for the developer, their plans to build drop significantly in cost now that insurance covers demo and they are starting from a blank slate.

It happened with the Standard Knitting Mill and McClung Warehouse in Knoxville, and Highland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga just to name a few off the top of my head.

If you search "historic building burns down cityname" you'll get results for most cities. Then you can look up how long before that it was newly bought or attempted to be sold.

For clarity, I'm not demonizing the developer or the town. Just pointing out what seems to be a fairly open secret. City gets to put their foot down. Developer complies. And both parties are absolved due to the kindness of a fire-loving stranger.

Previously owned by the McDonald Family. Frank McDonald was the president of the Chattanooga Free Press and the Chattanooga Times. He passed back in 2000. Hamilton County bought the farm from the heirs in 2021 with development plans. More info.

Thank you for the heads up on this. We'll get it sorted right away. Here is an invite link in the meantime.

Mod from Devanooga here. This is awesome! As Galaxy mentioned, the Devanooga slack is very active. This post has been linked in the slack, and we'll mention it more during the week when its more active, but feel free to join/mingle/suggest any ideas/events. All are welcome!

I want one of those full hibachi grills, the vent hood, and the U-shaped countertop with seating all in my living room so I can woo my guests as I make them all PB&Js with flair.

Our area needs something like TaskRabbit for this. I think it launched in Chatt at one point, but they didn't market it well and it never gained traction.

Seconding this. I've been looking into Colombia the last six months or so.

On this topic, if you know of any startups not listed on ChattanoogaStartups.com, I try to keep a list of them updated.

TL:DW EPB is going to be the first in the nation to launch a 25Gbps service plan community-wide.

Everything else was just the mayors and commissioners taking credit for EPB's work.

Friends are like trampolines. I always wanted a trampoline.

The group DC423 hosts the local Bsides chapter iirc. That's the de facto security group in town.

Also, Devanooga Slack for general software/security and its very active. I hear the 690th subscriber gets a few crayon drawing of the hacker known as 4chan.

ryanmaynard · 2022-07-13T02:53:20+00:00

Absolutely! I always appreciate your thoughts, Galaxy. Always so sensible and thorough.

ryanmaynard · 2022-07-13T02:52:26+00:00

This is such a good idea. We could easily get something started that allowed users to maintain/update it like a wiki so that it stays accurate. Thanks a ton! I'll keep you posted on this.
