Wow don’t dox Brisket like that

Yeah but I’d argue Pretty Lights is not ODESZA, at least not once Say My Name came out…got a lot of actual crossover radio play. They also are/were Grammy nominating machines. I mean who knows, stage/day is part of the allure in speculating on once the lineup is out. Selfishly I hope he’s not a Sunday closer, because by then most of the crew/myself are about done and have to work the next day. He throws out a unique blend of soul/groove that was a big chunk of the soundtrack back in my early 30’s. When we saw him at the backyard in like 2012, I was 32 and felt old even then…curious the crowd he draws.

My guess would be Friday night, opposite of a big name…the ones that shutdown 30m before the closer. At least I hope so, and that they don’t jam him into one of the smaller side stages at 4p like Flight Facilities was.

Been itching to see Pretty Lights again for like a decade. Better be at night. Yeah he’s one step below Girl Talk for ‘push play and turn knobs’ but I always enjoy an upbeat, electronica-ish jam fast when it’s cooler and I need a second wind.

Live look at Brisket (holla to any Crystal Method fans)

I know this topic is soon to be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction here in the New Surly Journal of Medicine, so someone dust off the Covid Origin thread and we can figure that one out next.

I figured you’d be elated at these developments

No but engagement sells ads

I see we’ve long since reached the ‘new poster/sock fearlessly jumping into the most contentious thread of the week to furiously spew knowledge and contrarian viewpoints’ stage

Oh we’re here

When did Kanye turn into Uncle Ruckus

I don’t know about learning the language but when you run into an issue there’ll be a heavily accented Indian dude with a thick mustache and neon pastel graphics that has all the answers in a YouTube video. That incredibly helpful dude and Stack Overflow got me through grad school.

Has anyone seen Trump and Helobious in the same room?

Probably because she expects all kinds of dick-waving confidence until she hears a sharp crack, a loud curse, and comes into the room as you stare at a long crack in the panel. There’s always that one nail that’s a total cast iron bitch

Come on, asbestos is good for you

“Frequently returned item”…worth a shot I guess. Order em and when the tv shows up, see if it works. For what it’s worth, I’d rather do that than go all-anchors. Don’t trust that, but also have young kids that find new failure modes to expose all the time.

It’ll come with a paper template so you can absolutely be sure. But yeah these things are full of compromises, and I was ready to nuke Samsung when one of ours had to be sent in for service at only 6 months old…getting the bitch in/out of those metal u-brackets is scary when you can’t really reach back there. Provided no miracles you’ve got 3 choices: ass ton of good toggles, take wall apart to run a 2x4 behind the paneling, or cut a strip of 3/4” plywood to run on top of the paneling and just live with it being a little proud. Upside to taking the wall apart is it’ll make it much easier to run that wire behind there to the breakout box so you can hide it.

We’ve got a couple of Frames, and yeah those two-piece mounts are way different…but a huge part of why you pay a premium for them. They’re also nerve wracking trying to snap the tv into/out of. So there are absolutely no studs that’d cross behind any of the holes in either mount? I assume your stud finder works on wood paneling and you double checked by measuring 16” centers starting from that outlet box down there (whichever side the stud is on). What’s behind that paneling…anything? Pop the cover off that outlet to see if you can verify how thick it is and what, if anything, is behind it. As you noted, the tv itself isn’t that heavy since all the guts are in the OneConnect breakout box. If that paneling is actually mounted to studs securely, I’d like to think a gang of good toggles would work…but obviously having at least one mount hit a stud would be peace of mind The best anchors I’ve seen are WingIts, though they require using a special 3/4” bit to put the hole (don’t use a spade bit on that nice wood). Otherwise, per usual, best reply is the first: get serious by running a 2x4 horizontally and call it a day.

Pokes won in dramatic fashion…walkoff grand slam B10. I’d written them off when we were down 3 in B8. My fault, this team can be so hot/cold but Holliday seems to love trying to time a hot streak heading into the post season…sometimes with disastrous results. WTF happened to TCU? And WVU just keeps going. And fuck OU.
