    Yeah I made it through in about an hour and a half-ish and was out before 11.

    Now that I did the right thing with paint, I will be guilt free when I find a place for this toxic sludge of paint, urethane, and cat litter

    I think rather than enforcing a curfew on bars it would be more beneficial to make sure they are following the guidelines you have in place. The problem isn’t how late they are open it’s the fact that most of them aren’t doing anything differently (IMO of course)

    You’re saying they are shutting them down at 11 rather than enforcing the guidelines?

    A lot won’t. Breweries are adapting fine but a lot of bars that don’t typically get high traffic before 8pm and are tailored towards the younger crowd are probably fucked. Really unfortunate people couldn’t begin to inconvenience themselves a few months ago to avoid this reality.

    They should rename a confederate high school after John Lewis. A high school in VA was renamed after him last week.

    Hell they might as well tear RE Lee down. My mom went to high school there in the 60's and that place looks like it hasn't been updated since then.

    Very punchable face. I believe the guy when he said he was completely clueless and shocked by the backlash. My impression is he’s one of those people who stopped mentally and emotionally maturing around the 8th grade, is incapable of critical thought, has lived his entire life inside the same bubble of unwavering cheerleaders, and is too cocky, dumb, or both to realize he’s an imbecile and a detriment to societal advancement. Just an awful human being.

    Can anyone recommend a good plumber? I've received a quote from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and I'm looking to get another. Ben's Plumbing has twice failed to return my call, and I'd prefer to avoid paying Eagle $100 just to come out to provide a quote (for replacing all plumbing in my house). Any other recommendations?

    :ohdear: I hope Ben is alright. Was thinking about him the other day and how he's probably not a mask guy but definitely should be.

    I've got no other worthwhile recs. Ben's Plumbing is everything.

    I used Wilbur's Plumbing last week to install a new hot water heater.

    It was the 1st time I've used them but they got the job done.

    They also do HVAC. https://www.wilbur1.com/

    +1 for Stephens. They are great. They dug a huge trench BY HAND and a bunch of other shit for like $2k for me. It was three days' work for two guys, too, and an estimate.

    Also Guin does all my HVAC and plumbing, they’re awesome not sure how they line up price wise residentially for stuff beside your basic fix, but that’s only like $100 usually

    I had them fab and install a new chimney cap and liners and install a tankless water heater.

    A+ work

    I’ve also used Funky’s Plumbing they were good too

    What does it involve? I'm cheap and ran CAT6 from my router back through the floor, under the house, and then to my computer in downstairs office. Cost $30 and and hour. If I'd have spliced the wire into a jack, it'd have taken about 30min more and cost $10 more. Might want to give it a shot.

    Theft warrant issued for Alabama state Rep. Will Dismukes


    Montgomery authorities on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for Alabama State Rep. Will Dismukes for a first degree theft charge.

    District Attorney Daryl Bailey announced the charges at a Thursday afternoon press conference.

    Bailey said his office received a complaint on May 20 "regarding an alleged theft of a large sum of money from an employee" at a business.

    The amount exceeded $2,500, per the statute, but "the alleged amount was a lot more than that." At the press conference, Bailey said he is limited on providing further details.

    The charge is a Class B felony.
