  1. Would I be mad if I made a few million dollars off of it? Probably no. Would I be mad if he made a ton of money off of me and I got nothing? yeah, maybe a little bit.
  2. Got low battery warning on the key FOB to our car. take both fobs to replace the battery while she's at the store (obviously, I have taken this key off her keychain at this point). When I get home she's on the couch watching TV Me : Where is your keychain so I can put this back on. Her : probably my purse, just put it on the counter and I'll do it later. Me : No, it will get lost or you'll move it and I'll spend two hours looking for it. Bitches enough that I leave it on the counter (mistake #1) Few days later, it's just us so I say lets take the car so I can make sure both fobs are working correctly. Obviously we now can't find hers. She keeps saying "You have yours I thought you fixed it. We can just take yours." me :"On the off chance I messed up putting it back together or the battery was bad, I want to take both. I also want to use both so I don't have to worry about yours." So after about 30 minutes of both of us looking she finally says "Oh yeah, I put it my purse so it wouldn't get lost." (mistake 2 - not checking her fucking purse first)
  3. That was a myth. In the 80s lots of hip hop artists sampled music like this in their music.nonbody really cared that much Then vanilla ice tried to the the whole hook from under pressure. And Freddy Mercury was oh hell no
  4. There are few copyright laws in place here. But it basically boils down to : when the marching band director purchases the sheet music, by extension, he's buying the "right" to also perform that music. Usually the place they're performing at has a performance license with either ASCAP or BMI. Your bar that have cover bands are (supposed) to have them as well. And somewhere down the line, the composer gets a royalty. However, they did not buy the synchronization rights. That's the right to have your video matching the composition. And for that you have to get approval from from the Sync Copyright holder. Usually, its whoever wrote the song, but could be the record label. But it's a much bigger process. It's the same law that keeps someone from just putting like a led zeppelin song on you tube without getting permission from Led Zeppelin. It's much more restrictive Or why you sometime here about musicians complaining that a politician is using their song in ad.
  5. Maybe not the best use of the phrase at this time....
  6. I will gladly take your tickers. She is awesome. I guarantee you will enjoy it
  7. I've always wondered what percentage of the military is logistics versus front line soldiers. For instance, in the Revolution, probably 90% of the military was a front line was in the actual shooting part. With a few medical people, maybe intelligence that weren't in the actual line of fire Versus say deploying a SEAL Team now. 16 actual shooters with the entire weight of the armed forces, CIA, NSO, satellites, insertion and retrieval personnel, ect that support them.
  8. Lets drink when this is all over. Also, if someone can bring 1997 era Denise Richards, that would be fantastic
  9. Me too. Some times I could eat Mexican food for breakfast, drink margaritas and whiskey. Follow it up with Cajun and Whiskey for dinner. And be fine. Other times, salad, water, mild food and it would set my heartburn off. I blame Tom Hermann
  10. I actually have the prescription version. And it still hurts pretty badly sometimes
  11. That was me and coffee around 35. I love coffee but I get the shakes after like 2 cups. Used to be able to drink it all day. Also heartburn. That has fucked my enjoyment of so many foods.
  12. Do you still use mayo with the avocado? I did this once with both the avocado and may at it was a bit much. Made one with guac sans mayo and it was pretty good. Still think I like the basic with Dukes mayo and an heirloom tomato the best.
  13. BORING!!!!
  14. Also, almost ever major college has the same thing for any sports that are broadcasted. Last year, was driving for vacation and listened to a Vanderbilt baseball straight from their sports website. Listened to a Georgia football game a couple of weeks ago when I was driving from Dallas to Galveston
  15. So, I don't think we got an update? Did you bang you cousin or not?
  16. I'm beginning to think that Ukraine is getting reliable intelligence on when Air Defense Systems are being moved. The attacks seem random in location, but overall strategic. Like they have a list of 10 of targets each day, and know which ones have air defense and which ones have a Toyota with a machine gun in the back. Might be causing some of those defense system to be in constant movement rather than actually defending anything.
  17. When we finally took out the carpet in our house, we found used box cutter blades.......
  18. Thanks for the suggestions! I loved Dan Carlin's WW1 series. I think WW1 is probably the most under studied war in US history (other than maybe 1812?)
  19. Yeah, we got lucky. The unit wouldn't turn on at all. We had a1air come out and they spent about 10 minutes looking at the units before telling us we needed a whole new unit. It was February, so I said no and bought a couple of window units. Don't know how my wife found Medley, but the tech came out. Spent about an hour or so and cme back and basically said "They're right you need a new unit. But that's not why it won't turn on. You have a fuse or wire (or something, I don't remember) that's burnt out. I can get it up and running for about $200. I'll be honest with you, once it gets into the upper 90's/low 100's its probably not going to keep you house under about 85. But with the window units, it can get you through summer. Help y'all plan a little bit and call us in February when we're slow and probably give you a better deal." And when we did have the sales guy come. it was about 10K less that what a1air quoted. And he could have easily upsold me on some stuff, because I asked about duct work and a bigger unit. He basically told us that it would be a waste of money for how our house was set up.
  20. Medley. We live in Allen, and I think you live close. We had an excellent experience with them the several times they came out before we finally bought the new AC. Very professional. Never felt like we just a sales ticket for them. I don't remember all the details, but the day they were supposed to come for the new install, there was a part that hadn't arrived yet. My wife complained to the dispatch person a little bit, but I knew they're were some shortages and stuff still trying to get back to normal from Covid. They offered to come install some window units if we needed them They called the day before the rescheduled install to say they didn't have the part yet. I called and basically said something like "We have four dogs, 4 chickens and two cats. We have two kids in school. We both work full time. This isn't like having having someone drop off a package. We have to schedule this install around alot of things. I think this incredibly unfair of you." Wife got a call from the owner about an hour later saying he would drive to Ft Worth and grab the part and meet us at the house the next day. He said they would make it work, but might need to work a little different hours. Basically work from 10 - 5 instead of 9-4 as originally scheduled. I want to say they took a couple hundred bucks, but I don't really remember.
  21. My guess is that is that they will whittle down air defenses, and the first day it's below freezing in St. Petersburg and Moscow, we will see about 100 Flamingos completely destroy the electric grids of both cities. Probably followed up by the Kerch Bridge.
  22. Pretty much same thing happened to me, but we really did need ours replaced. Found a local company who I could talk to the owner. Alot cheaper with a much better service
  23. This is me. I never have to actually go to my work, but at least once a week I will go for a few hours because I can't always focus at home. I usually do all the easy stuff at home with the TV going on in the back ground and save the stuff I really need to concentrate on to do at the store. In my case, I can also get some advice on certain issues from my coworkers, and that is easier to do in person.
