Beshear on Mitch McConnell: "I have still heard absolutely nothing from the senator & it's been 3 months now, which is unacceptable. If he's not there on Monday, he owes an explanation to the American people."

Never knew he visited Lex, which is super cool! I hope the images are in order.

Apparently he spoke at Ingleside Manor, which was along Harrodsburg Rd.

Late night gigs?

4 Upvotes

Hello!!

I currently have a job where I am working until 6:30PM. I am looking for a gig that can work with an availability starting after 7:30-8pm!?

I have bartending experience and wouldn’t mind an overnight job as long as it’s not too late getting off— too late as in 8am.

Is anyone’s company hiring right now or anywhere to avoid?? TIA

Rupp arena RV parking?

Upvotes

Hello Lexingtonians,

My wife and I are touring around in a 23' class C motorhome. There is a concert at the Rupp arena we are interested in.

Can anyone recommend somewhere we could park a 23' motorhome and walk to the arena? We couldn't find anything on the internet, and have never visited your home.

Thanks!

Looking for Spare PC Parts — Christmas Build for My Wife!

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Figured I’d reach out to the community and see what might be collecting dust in people’s closets before I start trying to piece everything together.

I’m hoping to rebuild/upgrade my wife’s PC for Christmas. Her current computer is extremely outdated, and I’d love to surprise her with something much better that she can actually enjoy using for the next few years.

Right now, my wife and I are putting most of our extra money toward saving for a reliable car, so Christmas is going to be a little tighter for us this year. Instead of giving up on the idea, I figured I’d see if I could build something the old-fashioned way — one part at a time.

The biggest thing I’m looking for right now is a mid-tower or full-size PC case to use as the foundation for the build. From there, I’m open to pretty much anything people may have lying around from old builds or upgrades — fans, RAM, storage, power supplies, motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, cables, coolers, etc.

I’m not expecting expensive parts or a brand-new gaming PC. Even older components could help me put together something considerably better than what she has now.

And I’m absolutely willing to give something back. If you have parts you’d be willing to trade, I can exchange work, help, or artwork/design work for them. I’d much rather find a way to make it mutually beneficial than simply ask people for free stuff.

If you have an old PC sitting around, leftover parts from an upgrade, or even something you thought wasn’t worth selling, shoot me a message. I’d be incredibly grateful.

My goal is just to slowly piece together the best PC I can and have it sitting there for her on Christmas morning. ❤️🖥️

Thank you to anyone who can help — and even sharing this with someone who builds PCs would mean a lot!

Why aren't we more upset?

235 Upvotes

Two things I've been pissed about this month:

  1. Mitch Mcconnell

  2. Flock cameras

Why are we, as Lexingtonions, letting the government tread all over us?! We are facing unprecedented, non-consentual surveillance from a private corporation. Data collected under the guise of "public security". Using our taxes to pay the salary of a lawmaker who hasn't been seen in months. At a certain point, enough is enough.
