  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. +1 for these. I love their shorts for the summer.
  11. Welcome to the new members. I just passed my 7th year here on TGO and I stay around for a lot reasons...all of them being examples of this just being a great place to hang out on the internet. I'm all for new folks joining the site; especially if they're paying for the privilege as a benefactor. And while I'm not much of a buy/sell type through here compared to some, I'm also a-okay being someone's first transaction partner. If they're minding their Ps and Qs as they get the lay of the place, not trying to make themselves out to be the best new member in the history of ever, and don't have anything giving me reservation...no issues doing business if it suits us both.
  12. Incorrect. This doesn't impact RTC laws in those states. The ruling validates Hawaii's law, under the premise that the state has the prerogative to restrict carry. This won't automatically put the law upheld in Hawaii into effect across the 9th Circuit. It would allow those states to do so, but it's not a court dictated adoption across their jurisdiction as your post would indicate.
  13. Safety and life of the target (think force of impact over distance). In the army, I was in a shooting class run by ex Delta guys, and we were shooting at mechanical LaRue targets (setting up a field of these if I ever hit the lottery ). I took it as an assumed fact these guys knew what they were talking about for range setup purposes.
  14. I'm going to try to set aside some time to read the full opinion, but at a glance, this case involving open carry is one wrinkle that might be unique.
  15. I'll be the last to say that there isn't something worth checking out here, but there's also a lot of questions about how this is developing. Couple in that apparently they went to Watson for a settlement before going to court, and a lot is sketchy here. Mike Florio lays out a lot of good points about how the lawyer representing these women is making this about himself as much as anything.
  16. You're the man! I'll try not to muck this up a year from now, but won't be upset if you bet I do.
  17. Any way to marry the dates so I don't lose the six days if a rewal goes a year from expiration rather than a year from the renewal? Noticed the old one goes all the way back to 2014. Man times flies. Alternatively I could cancel the fresh one for a refund and renew the old membership if that's easier on your end. Not sure how the payments and any fees would kick in on the sites end. Sorry for the mess. The payment processes super easy, but finding where to make it vis a vis managing a renewal obviously is confusing (to me anyway).
  18. I don't care if these were angels among us or straight up whores, this man is someone society needs to lock him up forever or put him down. There is zero sympathy for circumstances, beliefs, or anything when you take eight lives in a premeditated act. I'm not sold on the racial bias here, but you at least investigate it when something like this happens, and you go a bit deeper than taking the murderer at his word. This could be a targeting of prostitution while also targeting Asians. Right now, I don't think we know to a degree to be making declarative statements. I do know that Asians have been subjected to some horrid measures of discrimination since the 1800s, and not much happens in a vacuum. The media is just hyping it up to fill air time in an other wise boring period because as John Popper sang, "when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because The Hook brings you back". They're struggling to find content without Trump feeding it up for them so they'll be grasping at things like this.
  19. Bump. @TGO Davidcan you assist when a moment avails, please?
  20. They can run the gun's SN, and see if she has her 2A rights denied for any reason, but let's remember castle doctrine has been extended to a vehicle, and no kind of permit is needed to justify it's presence in the vehicle if they can't prove she isn't legally able to own one.
  21. Some takeaways as I saw this video a while back, but didn't want to be the one to post it here (thanks to @Omega for broaching the topic). 1) Very true that things go from zero to one hundred fast here. The officer had a good reaction time to escelation events as they happened. 1a) The officer needed that good reaction time because the situation had gotten out of hand as others have pointed out. We can debate his weight, but I wouldn't be surprised if she saw officer Tubby McCracker as soft and felt emboldened. 2) This woman doesn't seem a net benefit to society, and I don't for one second condone her shooting the officer, or even grabbing the weapon. Still in a better world, the weed being (presumably) was the reason the officer got to search her and put her into fight or flight mode is at best debatable insofar as should it be a crime or not. Our laws in at least some way contributed to this event's conclusion. Very similar questions. I'm sure the weed was the gate into it all, and that I do have some issues with, which leads me to... If this is a dime bag PC situation that lead to shootings...well, it'll be time for my refrain on how we need to just legalize weed because all the laws against it are doing is enabling government actions. Remove the laws about personal quantities of weed, and this situation is a lot different. Nobody dead or in the hospital most likely. One armchair question is what urgent need to act on the stop is there until backup arrives? Once the car is pulled over, I would think the officer could wait for another cruiser to show up and help with the encounter. Bit of tactical patience could have prevented a lot here, but I may be wrong in that. The questionable standards of BLM/Antifa aside, I like that police departments feel the need to justify their actions to the public, especially when it comes to the lethal use of force. I'm not unhappy that government agents have a bit of fear from the governed reminding them where their authority comes from in the first place. Again, this may not be a perfect example of the Jeffersonian process in action, but it's a good start.
  22. Any way that the renewal I just did could be moved to the right so that it kicks in? Guessing I screwed up by making a new purchase instead of managing and renewing the old one (a tradition like none other). As always, thanks to David, Mac, and the moderators for keeping this place in good repair...I'm sure the last year was as big a test of your patience as there ever was in living memory.
  23. This thread has been a trip to read from the beginning a year after it was started. The 12 months that have passed were crazy on so many levels.
  24. There is even less reach given these carve outs (probably meant to head off talking points against it), especially sections B, D & F: “(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to— “(A) a law enforcement agency or any law enforcement officer, armed private security professional, or member of the armed forces, to the extent the officer, professional, or member is acting within the course and scope of employment and official duties; “(B) a transfer that is a loan or bona fide gift between spouses, between domestic partners, between parents and their children, including step-parents and their step-children, between siblings, between aunts or uncles and their nieces or nephews, or between grandparents and their grandchildren, if the transferor has no reason to believe that the transferee will use or intends to use the firearm in a crime or is prohibited from possessing firearms under State or Federal law; “(C) a transfer to an executor, administrator, trustee, or personal representative of an estate or a trust that occurs by operation of law upon the death of another person; “(D) a temporary transfer that is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm, including harm to self, family, household members, or others, if the possession by the transferee lasts only as long as immediately necessary to prevent the imminent death or great bodily harm, including the harm of domestic violence, dating partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and domestic abuse; “(E) a transfer that is approved by the Attorney General under section 5812 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; or “(F) a temporary transfer if the transferor has no reason to believe that the transferee will use or intends to use the firearm in a crime or is prohibited from possessing firearms under State or Federal law, and the transfer takes place and the transferee’s possession of the firearm is exclusively— “(i) at a shooting range or in a shooting gallery or other area designated for the purpose of target shooting; “(ii) while reasonably necessary for the purposes of hunting, trapping, or fishing, if the transferor— “(I) has no reason to believe that the transferee intends to use the firearm in a place where it is illegal; and “(II) has reason to believe that the transferee will comply with all licensing and permit requirements for such hunting, trapping, or fishing; or “(iii) while in the presence of the transferor. Then that's the walkaway point. Get what we can now, and dig in later. If they want to attach registration to the negotiation, that would end things and we're back to where we are now.
