They did another mini-series that many here may find interesting: SuperMajority. It's about the Tennessee legislature as experienced by a few "Covenant Moms".

I'm curious if anyone here has been able to download it. I'm getting a throttledRequest error when I try to down it.

Hmmm...how much free pizza? Not that it's actually free...

I'd make sure your son's insurance company is aware of what happened, and you could complain to the medical license board. https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-professional-boards/me-board/me-board/complaints.html

I use (and like) AntennaPod. I too listened to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, and the bonus episode with Tim Keller was my favorite. It helped me appreciate why he became such a "celebrity" (for luck of a better word). I listened to the first episode of In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson. I found it interesting, but I'm going to catch up with Project 22:3 before I continue that one. Am I in serious need for mental health services, or is everyone else hearing Better Help ads on most of their podcasts, too?

Check out "I Spy". It's about (and usually interviews with) former spies. I also really enjoyed the first season of Blindspot which is about intelligence failures that lead up to 9/11.

https://americanhandgunner.com/news/in-memoriam-tiger-mckee/ He certainly seemed like a great guy based on the interviews of him I heard. I will miss hearing interviews of him and regret not signing up to train with him while he was still training.

I'll repeat what has been said and expand a little. A lot of their capital was tied up in low interest rate mortgage backed securities. Due to the nature of their clientele, they're going through a period of unusually high withdrawal activity. That normally safe asset (while still producing the expected income) is worth less than face value because newer mortgage bundles are paying more interest. That higher than normal withdrawal activity triggered a need to raise more capital. They announced they were going to raise more capital by issuing more shares of stock, and that spooked the market--so no one wanted to buy those share--and their customers. That show of weakness caused the run that "pushed them over the edge". I think there are also some accounting rules that would have created a different problem if they started selling those mortgage backed securities. Someone with a stronger accounting background than me would need to expound on that.

I found an article indicating it could be a corrupt cookie, so you might want to try clearing the cache and cookies. Unfortunately, I can't find it again to post it here. -
If you don't mind the "hole in the wall diner" feel try Three Little Pigs. It's my favorite. I'll second the "Avoid Corky's" advice. Rendezvous had good charbroil ribs (if that's what you're after), but I haven't been there in many years.

I've used Mid-South Plumbing a couple of times and been pleased. https://midsouthplumbingco.com/

It's a little more nuanced than that. Man was put in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it per Genesis 2:15. The fall came in Genesis 3. Work became toilsome as part of the curse after the fall (verses 17-19).

Memphis and North Mississippi, get ready for power outages
Ski replied to Dirtshooter's topic in General Chat
My parents' electricity came back on this afternoon, but there are still almost 100,000 customers affected in the MLGW service area. -
I appreciate you posting this.

Memphis and North Mississippi, get ready for power outages
Ski replied to Dirtshooter's topic in General Chat
The local utility outage map looks really bad for Memphis and Bartlett. The eastern and northern edges of the county are better. I have power, but my parents (in Memphis) do not. -
Didn’t see any new years resolution types this morning Did you happen to run by a Planet Fitness to see if they're all there?

John Madden, legendary NFL sportscaster and coach, dies at 85
Ski replied to The Legion's topic in General Chat
Interesting that the old Miller Lite commercials would come up on a gun forum and Grits Gresham wouldn't be mentioned -
That's confusing. For those that don't know, there used to be a locally owned range in the Memphis area called RangeUSA. It closed abruptly a few years ago. Another range was opened at that location with new owners and a new name. So, my first thought was that the owners of the former RangeUSA might have opened at a new location. As it turns out Shoot Point Blank, which already has a Memphis location, is renaming itself and has opened a location in Southaven (a suburb of Memphis).

Would you post a link to the page where that originally appeared?
