Nashville Bombing
An attack on At&T? Seems speculative but my cell has no service and neither does a lot of the area around Nashville.

Re: Nashville Bombing
Weird. Didn’t the IRA sometimes give a heads up to prevent mass casualties?

A cop found it so they had time to clear the area but not to defuse it. (At least I thought I saw a story that said that.)

Re: Nashville Bombing
Still no att service here. If it’s proof of concept for an infrastructure attack it’s a good one.

Re: Nashville Bombing
AB, it’s impacted some of our company network too. Given the warning message, this feels more and more like a deliberate infrastructure attack. Very odd.
Re: Nashville Bombing
They’re (AT&T) going to need to assess if anything (servers, etc) was stolen beforehand.

Re: Nashville Bombing
I used to work for a start-up that was called Infrastructure Defense... Without getting too deep into it, I try not to think too much about how incredibly vulnerable many of our assets are (electric grids, for example).

Re: Nashville Bombing
This event has completely captured my interest. The warning from the RV, the location knocking out communications, etc. It really feels like this is just a precursor or test run for something much bigger.

Re: Nashville Bombing
There's also the gifting/selling of two houses to the AEG woman. Her story of not knowing that he gifted them is odd. People often mistake a QCD with a nominal amount listed as a gifting, but most QCDs I see, (I see a lot in my line of work) usually list $10 as the transaction cost. You generally don't put the purchase price on the deed.

Wife was reading me a post stating that the old AT&T building was housing voting machines that were to be audited and that there were all these ties to major dems. I told her to stop reading comments on news stories.brian wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 9:38 amIf the guy who did it hadn’t blown himself to bits I’d be there with you.

This event reminded me of the Granby bulldozing event, which further reminded me that Netflix has a doc on it called "Tread." Just finished watching it, which includes a bunch of his recordings on his (twisted) rationale for why he did it.
Pretty good, even knowing a lot of the details going in.

Re: Nashville Bombing
Lexington evacuated a significant area downtown due to a rogue rv. Seems to have been nonissue but I guess just on edge.

Re: Nashville Bombing
First time here and if Nashville isn’t the most overrated city in America by a long distance I don’t want to know what is.

I would literally rather be almost anywhere else. This was a mistake. Nashville will be made the capitol of the coming Fascist States of America.

Re: Nashville Bombing
What do you hate about it? I've never spent much time in the city during my adult life other than a quick trip to see DMB in 2003 (and got to meet 3 of them!), and have always wanted to go back.

Re: Nashville Bombing
That trailer started to remind me of Too Many Cooks with the amount of characters they kept throwing in. It seems weird how they referred to the actors by name in describing the characters. Not that they mentioned the names, just how they did.

Re: Nashville Bombing
There’s no “there” there. It’s just a bunch of right-wing tourists from all over the South cosplaying at hedonism by watching shitty country cover bands play overpriced venues owned by shitty irrelevant country “stars” and fascist fuckwits like Kid Rock. It thinks it’s Austin but it’s Orlando but without a soul.

Re: Nashville Bombing
(And speaking of the bombing a whole section of downtown is still closed/rebuilding from it.)

I'm pretty sure we're similar travelers, atleast city-wise, so this moves Nashville down the list of places I haven't been.brian wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:30 am There’s no “there” there.

Re: Nashville Bombing
There’s a disturbing racial dynamic here too especially coming here after New Orleans. It’s obvious there’s a decent-sized portion of the tourist base who like it here because the only time you ever see a black person is in a service job.

Also, the grifting is nonstop here. It’s legit worse than Mexico. I’ve been intentionally overcharged three times already.

Went to the Country Music Hall of Fame and bought me a Willie Nelson T-shirt so that was a highlight so far.

Re: Nashville Bombing
One of my best friends from h.s. has lived there for well over a decade and he says kind of a similar thing, only that it's gotten a lot worse the last 5 years or so.brian wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:30 am There’s no “there” there.

And I scrolled up and saw the mention of the bachelorette parties and he says these harpies on those bicycle contraptions are the FUCKING WORST. Honestly, knowing that I'd have to deal with that regularly would keep from going out downtown.
(I'm probably headed there for a group/couple thing to visit friends from our 'hood that moved down there a few years ago. I'm not dreading it, because it's a fun group, but reading about the city being annoying has me a little mixed.)

Re: Nashville Bombing
I think it might have been more fun 20 years ago but the cold boot heel of capitalism has crushed anything fun and unique that ever existed here and now it’s just a theme park that exists to separate rubes from their money. I always feared that for Austin but the locals there have resisted it up to now. They seem to have leaned into it here.

Re: Nashville Bombing
Those stupid bicycle things are the rage here also. The hilarious part though is that (at least in Boulder) they can't drink on them, which is the entire f'ing point. So you'll hear the woo-ing and the bells ringing and the damn thing roll past with a bunch of jackoff tourists pretending they're having the time of their lives, but of course we know otherwise. We know.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 3:30 pm And I scrolled up and saw the mention of the bachelorette parties and he says these harpies on those bicycle contraptions are the FUCKING WORST.

Re: Nashville Bombing
Saw those in Belfast when we were there in 2019.
That’s at least two things in common between Belfast and Nashville.
