The Prog Rock Thread
One of my top bands now. Apple does a good job of recommending prog bands I’d not previously heard, but when these guys, PT and tool come on,it’s clearly another level

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Back in Austin for a few days for first time in 8+ years, so hitting all of the restaurant staples of the past Pappasito’s on Tuesday, and then Lupe’s today… neither delivered my steak fajitas sizzling. I figured it was just a miss at Pappasito’s and didn’t give it another thought, but once it happened at Lupe’s I noticed that no one else’s were delivered that way either. Is that just not a thing anymore? Also, how does Torchy’s not have the Ace of Spades anymore?! That’s like McD dropping the Big Mac

24/25 Poker : GTO or GTFO
Absolutely. It’s fun to play, plus getting to watch your hands again later while seeing the hole cards is often fascinating Word of warning, though, do this enough you will 100% become a “known” player in the room by smart guys who study the streams. They do exist. I once had to listen to a couple of $2/2 (!!) players talking about my style on streams even I didn’t remember.

Trump’s America
You give them WAY too much credit. They don’t want foreigners here. Period. Next time you see an article about the decline in international tourists, just take a glance at the comments. Those that aren’t directly impacted are celebrating it. They don’t want foreigners here.

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
Also, for the record, even I could hit a PW 150 yards into #9 at Lago!

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
Just get a range finder. I can’t remember the last time I cared what the course told me the distance was. What’s surprising is how frequently gps and even yardage markings were just plain wrong

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
I’d guess a launch monitor is most efficient but they’ll generally be 12-15 yards gap between each once you find one or two of them. FWIW I’m about to turn 50 and PW is 105y now just as it was when I was 35

The Masters 2025
I don’t think he’s complaining that mud balls happen or that they don’t get lift clean place, but rather that they simply are a significant factor on 11 and 13 yet they’re not supposed to talk about it.

Also, when you’re frantically searching for updates, it doesn’t help that google needs clarification on which shooting at that school you’re talking about

My kid is a Jr at FSU. She drove home tonight after sobbing all afternoon with her shaken friends. Luckily SWAT was quickly outside their house so she was never in danger, but can’t help but think there’s scars nonetheless. Fuck we have failed so miserably

Did anyone else hear that explosion just now in North Austin?

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
That small crouch as you start to reach the top of your backswing and transition your weight to the front should result in a small jump into your front leg post as your hips rotate toward the target, creating the room for your club head to glide. I’d bet your hips are too passive and your lead leg is remaining bent at impact

2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
Ive seen some crazy shit in my ~35 years on the course, but today is in the top 5 for sure 70ish old regular in our Saturday game has been out for four months undergoing cancer treatment (fuck cancer) and was able to get out for the first time today, playing in my group. We start on our harder half of the course and he’s understandably struggling a bit, +12 through the first 8 holes. On the 9th, though, he hits a brilliant drive, excellent layup, then perfect iron onto the green of our 2nd handicap par-5 and taps in for an easy birdie. You love to see it We make the turn, all smiles. He hits another great drive, nice iron, then birdie putt. Back to back! We move on to the #1 handicap, another par 5. Another fucking birdie! Our next hole is a tight par 4, and he finally misses, off to the left in the rough under a tree. He has no realistic iron so he just hits his 3wood low towards the green and the sonofabitch rolls right on to the green about 40’ past the hole. He’s left with the kind of kneeknocker downhiller one might expect to make maybe 1 in 20 attempts…. he hits it DEAD FUCKING CENTER of the cup for his fourth consecutive bird!?!? Next hole is a short par 3 which he easily lands on but about 50 feet left of the hole. He two putts and says “well, I guess that’s it then” and it was. He proceeds to go +7 on the last 5 holes. I’ve never seen anything like that kind of heater

Or perhaps a better approach is go get a single lesson for some basic swing work and let him quickly tell you what your specs probably are
