  1. Only 3 things can happen when Washington passes and all 3 of them are bad (for Texas).
  2. We remove the refs fingernails in those cases.
  3. Biggest adjustment we can make at halftime is to start removing fingernails for anyone committing a penalty in the 2nd half.
  4. Gonna need to do something different on D in the 2nd half. Maybe blitz inside and try to jam their receivers outside to keep them from getting into their routes before the pressure gets affects Penix. We’ll give up some bombs, but they are scoring on those right now anyway.
  5. Couldn’t find a muff meme
  6. College Football has been a pro sports league for at least 30 years. The only thing that’s changed is that players are being openly compensated for their head trauma.
  7. What's your address? I think we need a stake out by a sniper to be sure.
  8. Most successful companies with a size > 200 employees are lesser than the sum of their parts, riding the success of some lightning-in-a-bottle happenstance and frantically trying to trap lightning-in-a-bottle again to keep investors satiated. Most of the companies mentioned in this thread rode the internet birthing pool wave to success and are now slothful corporate behemoths suffering under their own weight. So I think this convergence of enshittification, at least as described in this thread, is a baby boom of intardnet companies getting to be middle aged and living off their achievements from their 20s and 30s. Soon enough they will be wanting their medicare and social security.
  9. Not as much as you might think. Killer Tesla assembly robots have 900 HP and go 0-60 in 2.4 seconds. While towing a Porche 911.
  10. You are fucking brilliant. Let’s remove all pretense in conservative news and combine the news with pr0n. We’ll call it Newslyfans, and the males on screen will be hateful incels talking hateful politics and the females on screen will be hot Stepford sex bots fawning all over them and asking them how they should vote.
  11. Along the lines of Zappa would be Robert Fripp. King Crimson has been about 12 different bands over 50 years. those prog rock groups of the 70s were always very incestuous. Greg Lake was on KC first album and there for Emerson, Lake & Palmer (which probably falls into the supergroup category). Bill Bruford drummed for Yes, KC, Genesis and had a solo career, etc….
  12. Also really digging the universal audio amp plugins, but you need to use a UA Apollo interface to get all its features. I do, so I don’t know what you might “lose” using another interface. They have a 2 week trial for each amp plugin, though, so you can try before you buy. All the guitar in my last 3 clips in the “Share Your Music” thread are using the Friedman Buxom Betty, Suhr SE100 or Diezel VH4 UA amp plugins. https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/guitar-bass.html
  13. Tonex CS as a VST plug-in is free for some great amp tones. Start there if you just want to dip your toes in the water. With the paid version of Tonex plus Amplitude, you could make any signal chain imaginable in terms of a pedal board/amp combination.
  14. Ok, for the foreseeable future, which currently is about two weeks.
  15. This arrived Christmas Eve and I’m really happy with it for a $250 guitar. Relief, action and intonation needed tweaking, and it plays great after that. These pickups sound pretty good, bright and twangy like you’d expect. I’m gonna keep it and not sure I’m going to modify it more than a fret polish and nut work to eliminate note sharpness on the first couple frets.
  16. @bernorange I'm sorry your supposition that government acts as the Eye of Sauron at the frontiers of business is ridiculous and failed to garner the engagement here that you desired. Maybe your next kooky fringe post will garner the discussion you seek. Good luck.
  17. I think government should safeguard the public against wanton capitalism and corporations that operate only with their profit motive as a north star. As an example, take the Boeing 737 max debacle. Deregulation and cuts led to Boeing pretty much solely responsible for its own regulatory compliance and inspections. That regulatory vacuum plus human fallibility and greed led to multiple crashes and over 5,000 deaths. A government that had not abdicated its responsibility to the public wouldn't have allowed that. So let me ask you this: If the government (specifically the FAA) would have made Boeing adhere to appropriate safety standards, that would have resulted in the 737 rollout being delayed until it was safe, and that would have resulted in Boeing and its shareholders suffering financial harm. Would that act constitute the government influencing who wins or loses within the aviation industry? Or would it constitute the government serving the public's best interests?
  18. I guess America is exporting again.
