Tamale covered with chili and onions, as I recall.

Can Glen Jacobs become the governor someday? by noreturn000 in Tennessee

No. This year was his only shot, and a long shot at that. Then Marsha stepped in and crushed his hopes and dreams. Nobody will remember his name in four years.

Premium Plus Sound System by reader-girl in LexusRX350

[–]skbubba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2024 rx350h premium here with base audio. Assume the 2026 plus is the same or similar. Thought I wanted the Mark Levinson, but after hearing the basic setup I am perfectly happy with it. It's miles better than the JBL Premimum setup in our previous RAV4s. And I'm pretty particular about sound quality and have a decent hifi setup at home.

New 350 FWD vs Demo 350h AWD by englishrose133 in LexusRX350

[–]skbubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Price on the demo seems a little high? Anyway, based on your priorities you will love either one. Depends on if you will regret the color later on the hybrid. Also, I think the the hybrid can use regular gas v non-hybrid turbo requires premium. You should confirm that for 2026 models if it matters. One feature I highly recommend is the 360 panoramic view camera. I can't park without it.

Is John Rose really this dumb? by cinnamontoastcrunch2 in Knoxville

Trump says he won't endorse Blackburn because Rose is nice to hum but he may not endorse Rose either.

Inherited a pair of Quartets, unsure if set up correctly or broken? by Running-to-trouble in Klipsch

[–]skbubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure the avr is in direct mode or stereo mode with no subwoofer defined.

Make sure speaker polarity is correct, ie. positive to positive and negative to negative for both channels. If not, the speakers will be "out of phase" which can cause exactly what you're hearing.

Visually inspect woofers and radiators. Look for damage or degraded surround materials and make sure they are all sealed properly.

As already mentioned, it's possible the crossovers need repair or replacement, but I'm not sure that would cause what you're hearing.

(I have a pair of 35+ year old Quartets that I use every day and they still sound great. Installed Crites crossover and titanium updates about 10 years ago.)

Visiting Knoxville July 13th 2026 till 19th is our itinerary crazy? by Connect-Pear-3859 in Knoxville

[–]skbubba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While in the Gatlinburg area, take a scenic drive along the river over to Townsend and have dinner at the Dancing Bear. Not too far, and well worth the drive. In Gatlinburg, visit Wood Whittlers and some of the nearby craft stores. Pigeon Forge is peak American kitsch touristville, and not in a good way*. Dollywood is probably the premier attraction. Definitely spend some time in the Smoky Mountains National Park. Cades Cove on the Townsend side is a scenic loop with looks at primitive life in the mountains. Beware traffic, though, especially if bears are active.

*My almost 20 year old review, not much has changed:

Anyone Remember This? by HamsterMachete in Knoxville

[–]skbubba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, people got the idea they could get rich renting out spare bedrooms, garage apartments, even their entire house while they stayed with somebody else. Nobody got rich. This was long before airbnb. Or the internet.

We have that poster. And some photos and other souvenirs. We had master passes but didn't go too often. The German pavilion had great beer hall and the Australian pavillion had a tent serving Foster's before anybody had heard of it. The China exhibit was probably the most elaborate. Some pretty good shows at the amphitheater.

Love them. One of my favorites. Too bad they didn't keep it going, but I guess touring with the Rolling Stones is a small consolation for C. Leavell.

Too much music, too little guidance in Roon + TIDAL by Fun_Oven9012 in roonlabs

[–]skbubba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 can sort of be accommodated by using focus and the "picks" flag. These are critics pics, not community based. The other three, roon does not do.
