liquor in the front, poker in the rear? (sorry, someone had to say it)

Is that the same company @Dark Knight is a relay engineer at?  Large multi-state utility?

Yeah, I hate the no coffee in the room part.  Who wants to get up and get presentable just to go grab some coffee.... or pay for room service.  We'll do that every once in a while but you end up paying $80 for two people to eat a usually cold, mediocre breakfast.  We've actually looked into...

I forgot that the Signature had kitchenettes, but it makes sense since they also have privately-owned condos in the buildings.  In fact you can find some of those for rent on airbnb and the like.  Every time I suggest something like that my wife is like "I'm not cooking on vacation!"  Let me...

Yeah, have to wear a mask at the pool, and I've heard the big resorts are definitely enforcing that, because they could risk losing their gambling license if they don't. MGM Signature is really nice.  We stayed there a few years ago.  Get a one-bedroom balcony suite and make sure you request a...

The bean is pretty cool... for about 5 minutes.

It seems Chattaneer has a different taste in music though. Hmmmmmmmmmmm Is Canada Goose really a fake account of @leggo PE's?  They both seem to have an obsession with Taylor Swift!

I accidentally stumbled on the Gum Wall.  That was gross.

I remember spending one cold February night watching the Paulding Light.  No reason to return a second time.  The Mystery Spot is advertised all up and down I-75 so a lot more people know about it.

Adding to what Chattaneer said, we supply all three load segments (industrial, commercial and residential) in nearly equal parts revenue-wise.  There has been an uptick in residential sales, but with the industrial load nearly totally shut down for a couple months earlier this year, and the...

Mine are mostly mp3s I downloaded on Napster.

What did your boss say when you asked him about hiring someone for the position he promised you? I work in System Protection and can let you know next time a position opens up in my group if you want to move to Michigan! I don't know anyone in Tennessee except Russ Patterson/Patterson Power...

I heard Alabama is going to allow 20% capacity in their stadium? My wife's a big Cubs fan and we've been watching their games religiously.  I'll say it's a bit odd to not have fans in the stadium, but you get used to it pretty quickly.  But then they show a clip from a prior season and it's...

We had this problem with tomatoes last year.  There's a number of things it could be, e.g. not enough fertilizer, too much fertilizer, or tomato blight.  They also need a lot of water, but if you use a sprinkler that can promote fungal growth on the leaves.  Last year we used a sprinkler on them...

I work for a utility in an overhead org, so paid overtime is pretty much nonexistent.  The only time we're paid overtime is a true emergency, e.g. storm work or if a VP approves it (almost never.) That said, if we're consistently working more than 50 hours per week we might be able to justify...

They've started scheduling the in-person classes here starting next month.  I think I'm going to pass for the time being, considering most of the students will be kids--who might be back in school in person--and I'm stereotyping a bit here but I suspect many come from families that don't believe...

Have you already looked into getting a license?  Most states require a hunter safety class, which would be a hoot for you I'm sure.  Olympic-level rifleman taking a hunting class with a bunch of 12 year-olds. Here the in-person class was waived this year due to Covid if you did the online...

It's also hard to find a hunter willing to give you meat in my experience.  Thus why I started hunting myself.

Sorry, but I have to disagree.  From https://www.policygenius.com/blog/the-10-most-least-dangerous-states-in-america-for-drivers/ : Another way to look at it is if I drive 100 miles in Montana I have a specific chance of dying, which is lower than, say driving 100 miles in Kentucky.  If the...

It's relevant yes, but fatalities per mile driven is relevant too.  E.g. if 200 of the 500 people who die from traffic accidents in Montana are people that don't live in Montana (e.g. tourists or truckers), then being a native Montana driver isn't as dangerous as the map suggests.  Tracking the...
