I filled up in White House on my way back to Nashville on Saturday. Given that I don't drive more than about 10 miles a day, I should be good until this blows over. The amount of things we've moved to a digital environment where they become susceptible to these kinds of attacks is scary. I don't want to regress back to the 50s, but we need to consider what absolutely needs to have potential attack vectors via the commercial internet and act accordingly. The military runs separate networks classified information, and I think it's time to consider a structure for critical infrastructure like this if we don't have something in place.

I'm very forgiving of when people can't make a scheduled appointment. I'm not forgiving if they don't communicate it. Life happens and I understand that, but a text, DM, or email takes but a moment. Like putting your grocery carriage in the space for them instead of leaving it to hit another car, it's one of life's little decency tests that everyone should pass.

Well past the point where I think I'm invincible, I've taken the wisdom of Sir Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones when he said, "nothing f**ks you harder than time". Hoping the best outcome for you comes to pass.

***MODS, PLEASE DELETE*** I still miss the edit button being next to the quote one.

For my SBR, I made a sling that's pretty much a low rent copy of the Viking Tactics Sling. Having that easy to adjust length makes using the sling for a support hack super simple. I never got into the QD points...guess I'm paranoid about the sling popping off at the wrong moment. While I embarrassingly admit I experimented with a three point sling for a bit (the frosted tips of slings), for probably 80% of my time in the Army across four deployments, I used an M-16 rifle length sling on an M4 carbine. I connected it to the forward sling attachment point with a few inches of clove hitched 550 cord (aka: parachute cord) to make it less rigid and wore it over my firing shoulder, under my non-firing shoulder. The extra length was for getting it around my body armor with enough room to move it to the side if I wanted space in front of my arms while carrying anything wearing the body armor. Back at the base without full battle rattle on, all that length meant the rifle hung not unlike a sword, but it was just fine for me and feels comfortable to this day.

They really want the lower courts to do the cleanup. Roberts is clearly aware of how the court is seen as a public institution, and he wants to make sure they can't be accused of deliberately looking for 2A cases to wedge gun rights through. Hence, we get the occasional rulings where they have to be rerun through the circuit and appeals courts with the newfound precedent. It's imperfect, but progress all the same. Gun rights in the last 20 years have come a long, long way with the sunset of the AWB, Heller, & McDonald. A lot of times we fail to look at the big picture when focusing on the absolutism side of it.

When an outlet like Vox is prepping anti-gun types for disappointment, that's a good sign. Although the plaintiffs asked the Court to rule on a broad question — “whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self-defense” — the justices announced on Monday that they will only resolve a more narrow question: “whether the State’s denial of petitioners’ applications for concealed-carry licenses for self-defense violated the Second Amendment.” Nevertheless, this narrower question is still broad enough to allow the Supreme Court to rewrite a decade of Second Amendment precedents, to unwind a consensus within the lower courts that permits many gun regulations to stand, and then to allow those lower courts to complete the process of dismantling other gun laws. https://www.vox.com/2021/4/26/22364154/supreme-court-guns-second-amendment-new-york-state-rifle-corlett-shootings-kavanaugh-barrett Cautiously optimistic this could be another good step towards protecting 2A rights from burdensome regulation for another generation.

I got my first dose there yesterday. Super easy like you said. I made the appointment online a few days ago. Day of, I walk up to the pharmacy counter one minute before my scheduled time, confirm my info, and get jabbed within three minutes. My second dose was scheduled for the appropriate time after my first when I did the online booking, so that's already on my calendar. The only downside is there wasn't a $10 gift card like they give out with the flu shot. I always use that to get something from the deli for free when that time of year comes around.

I would amend my earlier post to clarify "I'll take it" can be in the thread or via PM. However, I do think the seller should update the thread with a pending status as soon as able, which would be after reading the PM as a courtesy to others.

I agree the first "I'll take it" should have the opportunity. Buy saying that comes with an implied understanding that the money is available, and you're agreeing with whatever the seller posted about the conditions of the transfer (location, ID, ect). If someone isn't ready to move now, they shouldn't get to hold up the seller from moving to another and making the sale.

Lots of risk, even in "standard operations". Hoping against odds we get some good news.

Stopped in there once for lunch after a meeting in White House. Just had a sandwich, though. Decent place, I'd go back if I was a local or if it was on the way somewhere. Glad they made it through the pandemic as well. They seem to be a pretty good local business.

NH rednecks are the equal of their cousins in the south in all things that matter. They just have funny (to you) accents, and a higher tolerance for the cold built up over the years.

Yup. Usually 11a-2p on Friday and 11a-3p Saturday & Sunday. They do pop up locations every now and again during the week as well around the area.

It's not make you choke dry, but I've had some less than juicy chicken from CFA on more than one occasion. Kind of the reason why I don't see it on the pedestal others do, and only hit it up infrequently. Their sauces and milkshakes are what keeps it in the rotation for me.

Near every weekend I'm able, I walk over to the Nashville Farmers Market and order at least one Arepa from a food truck called Caracasville. https://www.instagram.com/caracasville/?hl=en It's exactly what you describe; first generation immigrants supporting their family, or in this case, the family working together to support themselves since they all seem to work shifts. The food is AMAZING and the people are awesome. Always kind, cheerful, and good members of the community. I remember the morning after the tornado hit Nashville last year, they were at the Farmers market supporting those using it as a shelter with free food.

My apartment building is across the street from the new Tennessee State Library and Archives building that just opened. When construction was in progress while I was at home because COVID closed the office, I got in line with the workers when the food truck hit their job site more than a couple times.

I'll hit up McDonald's if I want a cheap McChicken and McDouble hungry fix. But aside from that, it's nothing special. For a bigger fast food burger Wendy's is my spot; Sonic if I have to. Hardee's actually has a good burger as well and I like getting them in the mix, but they're harder to find than Wendy's or Sonic it seems. I also grab some Chick-Fil-A during off-peak hours from time to time when in a chicken mood. While their stuff isn't as magical as people pretend, it's in the pretty good range (their sauces are well above average) and it's never been bad, something a lot of other places can't say. Chipolte I just don't get...at all. It's so bland and basic to me. Everyone in the Nashville broadcast area needs to see if they have an Oscar's Taco Shop nearby and give it a try if you haven't yet. If I was offered a free meal at Chipolte when Oscar's is an option at my own expense...I'd have to think about it.

Not looking at you to directly answer, but a question in general is how many of the active shooters are reaching asylum levels of crazy on the surface that would warrant admission? I think the abuses in putting someone into the asylum can be mitigated with proper legal and medical review...but I'm more concerned with potential abuses inside. But the idea of some kind of mental health facility needing a comeback isn't an instant dismiss kind of notion, it just needs to be very well thought out.

I get that TN is a 2A friendly state on the whole, but not to the point of restraining business from steps to reduce liability. This is something I've carefully looked for in every rental agreement I've signed, but thankfully haven't seen yet. For my current place, I actually asked point blank since there was some language about dangerous items that seemed geared towards environmental and fire concerns, and I wanted to make sure ammo wasn't tied up in that. I also make sure that I know if there is some set of rules that can be amended like the OP shows, or if any changes need to be done via contract addendum. The protections for the latter are important when it comes to the property owner having cause to break the lease without prior notice.

Hate to think about the issues TGO would be subject to if our Admin team wasn't heavy on IT experience. A lot of things can creep up, and troubleshooting/resolution can be a beotch.

It wasn't the storm of the century or anything here in central Nashville, and it moved pretty fast. But that was some legit hail and I would NOT have wanted to get caught in it outside or even on the road. Glad I made it back to my apartment when I did just before it started. Also have to consider how easily there can be flash flooding around the area as well.
