Heya!
Looking to go to Louisville for the first time soonish and setting up a safe base to call home. Not wanting to constantly tussle with a billion zomboids I am thinking of doing the old sledgehammer the stairs and live that farming life on the roof.
Also not wanting to have to walk on roofs that you can fall through or have to spend time building my own I am looking for places that are already good to go, here is what I have found so far with links:
Buildings with terrace/balconies (that have railings around so you don't fall off):
1. Apartment building with huge terraces and shops at the bottom
2. Another apartment building close by with a penthouse
3. Even more apartments
4. More
5. Apartments near horsetrack
6. Radio/TV station
7. I love wok and rolls
8. Forever more apartments
9. Factory building
10. Fossoil
11. Gas 2 go
12. Jim's Autoshop
13. Perfick Potato Co.
14. Mass-Genfac Co.
15. Brac Brick Factory
16. House with tiny balcony where you can build stairs to a larger roof
17. Office space where you can knock out the stairs for some planting space and build stairs to roof
18. Apartment building with stairs on the outside to access roof
19. Bateman Office Building
20. Orio Office Space
21. Largely empty warehouse
22. Abandoned office building
23. Three apartment buildings by the water
24. Single apartment building by the water
25. Apartment building near baseball stadium
26. Some restaurant
27. Two apartment buildings south of baseball stadium
28. Grand Ohio Mall
29. Fire station helipad, but with no real indoor space
Buildings with just rooftop access (no railings):
1. More apartments near horsetrack
2. Oak Park Apartments
3. Du Case Apartments
4. Fun Xtreme
5. Apartments
6. Large warehouse
7. Louisville central hospital
8. Finnegan research group
Phew, I think that is it. Am I missing any places? Any other roofdwellers out there with a favorite? Right now I am leaning towards setting up in number 2 with the penthouse but maybe that is tricky with it being such a central location.

This is my revised query letter. My first attempt is here: https://www.reddit.com/PubTips/comments/1051gp4/qcrit_josephine_literary_fiction_89k/
Dear Agent,
Josephine Trovare has never been able to stray too far from home despite the bittersweet feelings she has attached to the place. Between the untouched room of her late sister Catherine and her estranged sister Emily’s recent return, she knows it is a lot less complicated to just stay at Rutgers University, where she just began her senior year of college. Yet, when her first girlfriend dumps her, Josephine doesn’t think twice before taking the quick ride back to the comfort of the only place she’s ever called home.
So, when her parents announce they are putting the house up for sale, Josephine suffers a second heartbreak that day. In an effort to cheer Josephine up, Emily suggests they unearth the time capsule they buried in the backyard with Catherine as kids. Inside, the sisters find a letter from Catherine requesting they fulfill her dying wish- to go on a road trip to Kentwood, Louisiana, the hometown of their idol Britney Spears.
Despite her hesitations, Josephine agrees to go on the trip with hopes that it will distance her from her ex and bring her closer to her sisters she hardly knows.
Josephine is literary fiction complete at 89,000 words. It will appeal to audiences who are looking for a story with the same type of references to lesbian and pop culture ala Girls Can Kiss Now by Jill Gutowitz led by an equally obsessive main character of that in Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung Frazier.
I am a debut novelist who once went semi-viral for being a lesbian in a “Billy on the Street” segment with Mariah Carey. If that isn’t the most terminally online, queer millennial sentence you’ve ever read, I don’t know what is.
Thank you so much for your consideration.

My Father-In-Law has been dealing with an unruly neighbor for quite some time now (10+ years) who complains about everything under the sun: dog barking, people parking on the curb in front of her home, trash cans to close to the front of her house, bushes slightly too high obstructing her view, etc. She mostly yells at him when she sees him outside and constantly emails him her complaints (with very threatening & unkind language). In the past I have heard of her giving the dog a treat that was VERY questionable and caused his dog to have a bad stomach reaction, but there was no real evidence of it containing something harmful. Plus she has her gardener reach over the fence to trim his bushes if they get just a smidge higher than the fence. And I'm not sure what this really does, but she recently removed him from the neighborhood watch (of which she is the president).
But the latest one that crossed the line was about her pool having too many leaves/pine needles from his pine tree after a few storms in the area. Her response to her pool filling up was another email threatening to sue for a new pool filter ($3000) AND she took the leaves in a bag and dumped them all over his front porch. (He has video of her doing so on the ring app). He did not step outside to confront her while she did so because he did not want it to get out of hand.
Does she have any solid ground to stand on legally, and does my FIL have the ability to conduct any legal recourse to stop this harassment? The constant abuse is definitely weighing on him.

Hi!
My name is Dylan and I’m a 21 year old single guy from northeastern Illinois in the US.
Anyone around my age or older such as in their 30s or 40s or older is welcome to send me a chat if you are interested. I’m relaxing in bed enjoying a nice cup of tea this afternoon and wanted to meet someone.
I’m seeking some kind of close connection with friendship being the main thing, however, I’m definitely open to things getting a bit spicier than that, whether that’s something where we remain friends yet can be flirty or romantic such as a friend with benefits for example.
I like to say upfront that I will always be mindful and considerate of your feelings and boundaries, especially concerning anything flirty or more intimate that we might get into. It’s important to me and we’d never have to do anything we weren’t comfortable with or ready for.
Physically I'm 6ft tall, I'm average/slim build, and I'm white/Caucasian with hazel eyes and dark brown hair. I wear glasses too. There’s a picture or two on my profile.
I don’t have any preference on body type for whom I find attractive. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. I’m also attracted to people older than me as well, hence being so open to meeting people.
I’m currently living at home, trying to get a job at a warehouse but long term career goals so far is to do something in the electrical field/trades such as a fire alarm systems technician as I’m good with technical things like that. I’ve got older parents and I live on a main road in a small farm house so I’ve been feeling pretty lonely most of my life. I’ve listed some interests of mine below!
Now that we've established who I am and what I'm looking for, here are a few interests of mine to get to know me better!
• Fall/Autumn season
I had to list this one because I just adore the fall and everything that comes with it. My birthday is in October too so it's always been my favorite month. I much prefer fall and winter over a muggy humid summer. In the cooler seasons there's always ways to warm up.
• Candles and Incense
I love candles and incense and stuff like this!! I feel like you don't find guys into this stuff that much but I definitely am an exception.
• Technology
I'm good at fixing electronics and I'm quite nerdy in that aspect. So if something breaks I can fix it ;) I'm also good with my hands and quite inclined mechanically and quite the nerd.
• Music
I love genres such as classic rock, alternative rock, psychedelic rock, gothic rock, heavy metal, punk, post punk, hardcore, etc. My current favorite bands are The Cure and Joy Division/New Order. But I like tons of older and newer bands as well. such as: Bauhaus, Velvet Underground, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Type O Negative, Nirvana, Rush, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, the Wipers, Spacemen 3, Meshuggah, Megadeth, Buzzcocks, MC5, Stooges, 13th Floor Elevators, Screaming Trees, Green Day, Alice in Chains, Asylum Party, My Bloody Valentine, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Jefferson Airplane, etc.
• Cooking and Baking
I like to cook and learn new recipes, as well as bake fun things too! It's always nice when the house feels nice and cozy and smells good. I appreciate the simple pleasures in life, a cozy cup of tea and music or a movie in bed or sitting outside is so nice!
• Animals
I love animals of all types, and I currently have an older cat which I adore to death! We rescued her from the local shelter. She's the sweetest thing. (I think I love her more than anyone in the house lol, she just makes me so happy) :) I also don't kill insects or bugs, I catch and release them outside.
• Art
I enjoy art, both creating it from time to time such as drawing, and admiring other peoples work. There's just something so fun about it and seeing things so beautiful.
• Houseplants
I love houseplants and really anything nature related and also spiritual such as crystals and rocks. I love to help my mom in caring for all of our plants and also gardening outside when its a good growing season. Its fun! I also like cottage core and goblin core type vibes and enjoy sitting out on the deck burning incense, its peaceful :)
• Photography
I recently got a DSLR camera, a Nikon D5500 and a D200 and I've really been enjoying taking photos of my cat and nature landscapes! This includes closeups, photos of trees, the fields, etc. I've been working a lot on composition, long exposures, getting nice blurred backgrounds, depth of field, etc. It's interesting to me.
That’s me! I hope you get a good taste of what I am like and if any of this catches your interest I’d love to hear from you and we can get to know each other further. Thanks for taking the time to read my post, hope to hear from you soon.

Violence is on the rise in Chicago, and lawmakers are looking for ways to drive those numbers back down. One stat that has drawn attention in recent weeks is the city's number of carjackings. According to Chicago police, carjacking surged by 134 percent for 2020, bringing the total to 1,415. Rep. Marcus Evans Jr. (D), whose district covers Chicago's South Side, wants a sales ban to minors on violent video games like Grand Theft Auto. Evans is proposing an amendment to an existing 2012 law that prevents the sale of violent video games to minors. Illinois House Bill 3531 (HB3531) has been updated to add the following language:
Modifies the definition of "violent video game" to mean a video game that allows a user or player to control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal...
Modifies the definition of "serious physical harm" to include psychological harm and child abuse, sexual abuse, animal abuse, domestic violence, violence against women, or motor vehicle theft with a driver or passenger present inside the vehicle when the theft begins.
The above-bolded text is pertinent to Grand Theft Auto, a widely popular game franchise that allows you to perform carjackings (among other violent and heinous acts). However, what's interesting is that games like Grand Theft Auto and its ilk have been around for decades; this is nothing new. A game like Grand Theft Auto alone couldn't possibly be responsible for the rise in the city's carjackings. Still, lawmakers and city officials are seemingly trying to tie the young ages of some of the carjacking suspects with the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic means that many children are at home, spending more time playing video games.
grand theft auto carjacking The youngest [recent] carjacking suspect was just 12 years old, and a 14-year-old was arrested in January for "taking part in multiple carjackings," according to Fox News.
"I feel like this game has become a huge issue in this spectrum," said Walker in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times. "When you compare the two, you see harsh similarities as it relates to these carjackings."
As a counterpoint to the rumblings in Chicago, a decade-long study concluded that this is no credible link between kids playing violent video games and, in-turn exhibiting violent behavior.

grand theft auto carjacking The youngest [recent] carjacking suspect was just 12 years old, and a 14-year-old was arrested in January for "taking part in multiple carjackings," according to Fox News.
"I feel like this game has become a huge issue in this spectrum," said Walker in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times. "When you compare the two, you see harsh similarities as it relates to these carjackings."
As a counterpoint to the rumblings in Chicago, a decade-long study concluded that this is no credible link between kids playing violent video games and, in-turn exhibiting violent behavior.

Anyone seen one for sale anywhere recently? If so, where? I’m looking to add one to my natives garden

Has anyone seen one for sale? I’ve checked calloways and they didn’t know what it is, Covington’s didn’t have it in stock, and they don’t sell them at Home Depot/lowes. Can’t find it on rubials website. Any suggestions?

I’m looking for a long term relationship, someone to be a partner and best friend. I’m based in the UK.
A bit about me:
I have a good sense of humour and wit. Politically I’m on the left. My values come from my amazing mum and sister. I was a busy activist back in my uni days but not so much anymore. Feminism is a big deal to me, as is mental health awareness. I’m a responsible partner who does their equal share of domestic duties.
I was raised veggie and I’m now vegan, I’m not preachy in any sense, if you’re not vegan that’s not an issue and never will be. It’s your choice entirely.
I’m relatively attractive (apparently) but aesthetics isn’t something I spend too much time thinking about. I’m open minded, non judgemental, and compassionate. I don’t like excessive consumerism and materialism. I’m not classically masculine (liking sports and cars and all that boring stuff). To relax I like either cerebral or meditative stuff, so relaxing with plant care, or watching a documentary for example. I rarely drink alcohol, if at all.
I don’t own any property or have much savings, I understand that’s regretfully a deal-breaker for some people so here’s me being upfront. Marriage and/or kids isn’t a firm decision for me, I really don’t mind, if something is right then it’s right.
Hobbies
Houseplants, gardening, reading, TV & movies, video games occasionally, my cat lol (she’s a former stray now with a forever home). I like to write a lot, it’s nothing special but I just like to be in touch with my creativity, passion and emotions.
A few examples of my tastes:
Musically my two favourite bands are Radiohead and Brand New, generally I like alt rock and electronica but have very broad tastes. Happy to make playlists for you. I like cerebral tv and movies, as well as being a big comedy fan. Outside of that I enjoy documentaries such as nature, space/science, and true crime. I like to read philosophy and similar genres for non-fiction. For fiction I like sci-fi, dystopian and realism. My favourite author is Margaret Atwood.
Ask me anything, we can chat about whatever or our favourite things. I’m very open and non-judgemental so tell me anything you like. No topic is off limits or taboo in my opinion.
Here’s me with my cat https://imgur.com/a/K9hM2S2 and just me https://imgur.com/a/cGEWa07 If you can send a picture too then please do if you’re comfortable with that.

Tank-Watch

With the season coming to a close soon it's about time to start looking at our draft pick situation and where we are likely to end up as well as who is likely to be on the board for our pick.
First off, what spot are we ending up at? Currently we are tied with the Pacers for the 7th spot. 2 games ahead of the Magic (with a game left against them) and less than 4 games separate us from half a dozen more teams. We are far enough out that we could be anywhere from 5th to 15th and it wouldn't be that crazy. One thing to note, if we do make the playoffs, we are losing our first to the Knicks that we traded away long ago to the Rockets in the original Westbrook deal.
With 8 games to go, here are how things stack up in terms of standings currently (I am including all teams within 4 games ahead or behind)

Pos.	Team	Record	GD	Rem. SOS	Proj. Wins
5	Magic	31-43	-2	11	34
6	Blazers	32-41	-0.5	14	36
7	Pacers	33-41	-	13	36
8	Wizards	33-41	-	12	37
9	Jazz	35-38	2.5	7	38
10	Bulls	35-28	2.5	18	40
11	Mavs	36-38	3	24	40
12	Thunder	36-38	3	28	40
13	Raptors	36-38	3	4	40
14	Pelicans	36-37	3.5	3	40
15	Hawks	36-37	3.5	2	41
16	Wolves	37-37	4	21	42
17	Lakers	37-37	4	26	42

I hope that gives a decent look into where we are currently at. For the teams better than us none seem to be outright tanking AFAIK, but the Jazz are a team that could overtake us. Neither Chicago nor Dallas have any incentive to tank as they don't have their pick. It's somewhat of a crapshoot as to whether any of those teams will fall into our range so I won't dive that deep into it right now, but I will take a look at the teams that are ahead of us in the draft order.
Pacers: Haliburton is coming back from an injury and they are playing him. Myles Turner on the other hand is questionable with "soreness". Winning tonight against the Hawks would be huge for us (tie game 10 minutes in but Turner is out), but they only have one other easier game against Detroit the rest of the way.
Blazers: Dame, Grant, and Simons are all sitting for dubious reasons and with only one gimme left on the schedule I don't see us catching them without some shenanigans of our own.
Magic: They are a young team and don't seem to be tanking egregiously, but to pass them in the order we most likely have to lose to them at home.
With all this information, it's hard to see us moving up any higher than 7th in the draft order. We have a similar remaining strength of schedule but we have some easier opponents and games that I think we can win if someone like KP is playing.

Draft

First, let me address the lottery odds. If we do indeed land at 7 we will have a 31.9% chance of a top 4 pick and a 7.5% chance of #1 which really isn't that bad. Our lottery luck hasn't been great so maybe we finally will move up and get that franchise changing type of guy. In this case, on average, our draft position will be 6.2.
Fun Fact: In every draft since 2017 the 7th team pre lottery has moved up to the top 4!
For the sake of the post, I'll ignore the possibility of moving up and talk about our realistic options.
So, I'm no draft expert, but I've followed this class for a bit and here are the prospects I simply don't see falling to 7:
Victory Wembanyama
Scoot Henderson
Brandon Miller
Amen Thompson
That is pretty much the list. I could maybe maybe see Amen falling as there are concerns with his level of competition and shooting, but as a PG with that size athleticism combo, it's hard to see it happening.
This leaves me with a pretty decent sized pool of 7 guys that I think we could draft barring any shake ups and stock risers.

1. Ausar Thompson: The twin brother of Amen is similar physically but with a different skillset. More of a wing than a point, Ausar can shoot the ball better and has tons of upside. At the moment he seems likely to go a couple picks ahead of us, but he definitely could be on the board.
   
2. Cam Whitmore: A local wing out of Maryland that has shown great promise, but has some flaws. He is really young (only 18), a great athlete, and can score well, but at the same time may be a bit small height-wise, and his playmaking at Villanova was dreadful with a sub .5 AST:TO ratio. May go a bit higher, but his stock isn't cemented.
   
3. Jarace Walker: Big bodied freshman that played for Houston. Great size, awesome defense, and lots of things to like on the offensive side. Not super polished but there's a lot to like. This is the last guy on my list I think has a decent chance of being taken before we pick.
   

That rounds out the relatively consensus top 7 players at the moment (I have seen any of one of those first 3 at 7 in at least one big board or mock draft) and brings us to the guys that we can start getting excited about without being super scared of them getting stolen away.

1. Anthony Black: Freshman G for Arkansas, Black is a prospect I'm a big fan of and someone that I think we might take. Lots of playmaking potential, great size at 6'7", great airtime, and a plus defender. Not the best shooter yet, but he reminds me of Josh Giddey in the way he plays.
   
2. Keyonte George: Freshman from Baylor that gets a lot of Bradley Beal comps. Not super efficient in college and positionally pretty redundant as a score first guard. Not super high on him and don't think we pick him but he is a very exciting player that I could see excel in the right situation.
   
3. Gradey Dick: The freshman sniper from Kansas will remind us a lot of Corey Kispert so I don't see fans being enthused at picking another player in his mold just 2 years later, but he has his upsides. A lot younger than Corey and with a bit more length to him he could be a bit more versatile.
   
4. Cason Wallace: This Kentucky freshman is what we wanted last year, but unfortunately he's a year late. I still remember all the debates about what point guard we should take, but with no good PGs at our pick range last year we ended up with Johnny Davis. Cason is a great defender and just has a great feel for the game. Not particularly flashy but does his job well.
   

Some other guys that could eke their way into the conversation are Taylor Hendricks or Nick Smith Jr.
Personally I'm a big fan of Anthony Black, and he is probably the #1 guy I'm hoping we land in the draft. The future of this franchise is very unclear, but if we do intend on keeping Brad, KP, and Kuz around I think he could complement them really well.
If anyone liked this I might do another one as the season draws near a close and I can go into individual game outcomes more closely.
TLDR: I think the Wizards are likely to land as 7th or 8th in the draft order. This gives us a decent chance to move up to the top 4, but if we don't there are some solid prospects to choose from that you can read about above. This definitely feels like a deeper top 10 than last year and even if we fail at tanking I like our choices.
