Is it an automatic or manual transmission? 2WD or 4?
Thanks

Question... are you guys using an app to listen or just through a web browser?
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?

Anyone have any new podcast recommendations? My wife and I are about to do a cross country road trip to Arizona and I'll need some new material.
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.

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.

Can you expand on this for those of us(me) that don't understand. If a bank owns a mortgage and those customers are still paying their mortgage payment, why does this matter?
My wife works for a title company and we've been seeing her pay checks shrink every month as they close fewer homes. I'm curious how much worse things will get.
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 got my first Handgun Permit in 1992. It was only good in Shelby County. All it took was a letter to the Sheriff and I was enrolled in a Sheriff's Dept class that earned me a permit. For the life of me, I can't remember who was the Sheriff at that time. But it was really no problem as he favored civilian CCW. My google-foo has failed me. Anybody remember who was Sheriff at that time?
DuckDuckGo lead me to the answer; A.C. Gilless.

According to this article, there were some other databases exposed as well.

I’m not a biblical scholar, but wasn’t man initially put to work as punishment? If true, breaking your balls for forty years for someone else’s benefit is overrated.
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).

My parents' electricity came back on this afternoon, but there are still almost 100,000 customers affected in the MLGW service area.

Sorry guys, I’ve been away for a while. I didn’t understand why mike357 dropped off the face of the planet until now. Lost my wife in September and it’s been a struggle just to keep up with my stuff and what she kept up that I didn’t even acknowledge she took care of.
I still try to stop in from time to time but I’m not able to hang around like I was before.
to anyone who lost a loved one to this biological weapon, I’m sorry, prayers for you.
God bless you guys,
I appreciate you posting this.

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.

January is horrible at Planet Fitness. All the new years resolution folks show up around the 2nd or 3rd week. They disappear by March though.
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?

Miller hired a bunch of retired players (another new idea, everyone used current players. Who wanted retired, old farts?) like Bob Uker, Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus, Ben Davidson, Wilt Chamberlin, Ray Nitschke, Billy Martin, Mickey Spillane & some new guy by the name of Rodney Dangerfield.
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).

I fear we have lost when one carries a "long gun" and another carries an "assault rifle".
Read the caption
Would you post a link to the page where that originally appeared?

One used a handgun. The other was using a Draco. They got into a light colored Mercedes and fled the scene. That doesn't sound like a couple of hoods or gangbangers.
You might be surprised. The Memphis gangbangers have upgraded their arsenals in the last couple of years.

AT&T announced that it will finish shutting down its 3G network by February 2022.
Mine quit working quite some time ago. It was from a third party provider but used the AT&T network. The last successful calls were early July in the Dallas area. Not sure when the last time it worked in SW TN.
When I replaced it with a 4G phone, I think the provider switched me to the Verizon network.

I'd make sure your son's insurance company is aware of what happened, and you could complain to the medical license board.
