  1. I know there are some people that love him, but Trump has got to be the most hated person in the history of this country. People either love him or hate him and for every person that loves him, there are 3 that hate him with the heat of a thousand suns. Not in Wichita Falls mind you, but across the US. Even amongst Republicans. People like Cruz may bend the knee, but they fucking hate hate hate him even if they’ve gauged it’s most politically advantageous to be on his good side publicly. Your seeing some of them start to distance themselves. I think if Trump’s campaign trajectory continues, you’ll see some them start drawing the long knives soon enough. Im looking forward to seeing this explored in Lin Manuel Miranda’s next production “Trump: The Musical.”
  2. It just occurred to me that if this whole election thing doesn’t work out for the good guys, Trump could be neutralized forever if he woke up one day inside an AI generated VR bubble where crowds of people cheer him on as he’s fellated by Ivanka.
  3. What’s preventing the GOP from trying to steal the Dems playbook? Anything more legitimate than Trump’s ego? I’m talking about: Trump drops out w/the promise of a pardon should Vance win Vance ascends to be the nominee for President Nikki Haley is picked to be VP Trump becomes Vance/Haley’s biggest cheerleader.
  4. Pre-emptive “But his emails!!”
  5. Would that work to monitor a pedal steel. Steel, to volume pedal to that, to amp? Would I need to put an IR loader before it or could I just go straight to the amp and monitor from this pedal? Given pedal steel -> volume pedal -> headphone amp pedal -> amp, you would hear the pedal steal and the volume pedal but nothing in the headphones from your amp or speaker. Does your amp have an effect loop after its preamp and eq? If so, the rest of this paragraph applies: You could fx loop send from your amp to this pedal and you would hear pedal steel, volume pedal & your amp's preamp with EQ but not any color from the cabinet/speaker in the headphones. You could simply not return to the fx loop return to have just headphone monitoring for quiet practice. You could put an IR loader in front of this in the fx loop to have cabinet/speaker sounds in which case you would hear pedal steel -> volume pedal -> preamp + eq -> cabinet/speaker sounds from IR loader/pedal in your headphones. Other alternative would be to use an amp in a box pedal with this and your volume pedal so your signal chain would be pedal steel -> volume pedal -> amp-in-a-box pedal -> headphone amp pedal. You would hear the pedal steel, volume pedal and amp/speaker/cab sounds from the amp in a box pedal. If you wanted to use this live, you would go out from the headphone amp pedal to PA for the audience to hear. I don't know dick about pedal steel, so I don't know what types of amps are used, but am guessing clean with a lot of headroom, which sounds like a Fender blackface style amp to me. If those types of amps are acceptable for pedal steel, you could use the UAFX Dream pedal which is a Princeton Reverb. These go for around $275 used. I just bought one, but it has not arrived yet, so I can't speak to it from personal experience.
  6. If someone tried to rescue someone who had already entered South Austin's mom, they're both going to be lost to the abyss. Also, dumb question, and sorry if its already been asked... If these people are so fit, why can't they swim?
  7. JD Vance wants to proclaim Prima Nocta on all our BarcaLoungers!
  8. Yep. When they go low, you don’t go high. You curb stomp them.
  9. All I’ve got to say is, “Quack!!”
  10. Got a cool little pedal that works great with these UAFX amp pedals. Basically adds a headphone out and aux to your pedalboard and allows it to work as a nice practice amp. Use headphones to keep things quiet then put backing tracks in over the aux in to jam out.
  11. You're not wrong, but it says as much about Trump and Republicans and what they are trying to force on voters as it does about Dem political acumen.
  12. This is a dangerous time for Trump. When he's causing chaos and disrupting the federal government, he's a useful idiot to many here and abroad. If he just becomes a failed politician with no ability to fuck up the federal government, he's far more useful to those same people as a martyr.
  13. Somewhere DJT is screaming, “DO YOU SEE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE??!!
  14. Is Donald Trump even running anymore?
  15. Why is only Vance out campaigning?
  16. And now I'll provide a brief musical synopsis of Pimphand's posts in this thread from yesterday. Sheeple are strange When you're a stranger Faces look ugly When you're alone Women seem wicked When you're unwanted Polls mean nothing When you're down When you're strange You relish in other's pain When you're strange Everyone else is to blame When you're strange When you're strange When you're strange
  17. Man, everyone has already articulately described Walz and his performance today. I'll just say this: He's got Mack Brown's charisma, Winston Churchill's pugnaciousness and Abraham Lincoln's righteous cause. He's got all the tools and ingredients to lead a populist movement that enchants 60-70% of U.S. voters.
  18. Yeah, go get an airbnb for a week in January and make sure you want that for 5-6 months out of the year. Art of the Deal
  19. Who knows if that is true. But if it is, I think the right is failing to recognize that the Dem's are igniting their own populist movement rooted in hope vs hate.
  20. Compare and contrast that first tweet against what people who have worked with Trump have to say.
