  1. Ah man, I'm sorry you're going through that - I don't keep up with the cancer thread, I've spent enough time down at MD Anderson thinking about that stuff for a few lifetimes. I've got the BRCA gene so I'm going in early for a look-see. Still hoping it goes well for you buddy.
  2. Oh hey I’m getting my butt probed on DJ Screw day. Hope it goes well for you.
  3. Anyone else have this problem with 2016ish F150 flip keys? Just fixed one with a bit of wire and JB Weld, we’ll see if it holds lol I guess I wrench on the key
  4. ah man, i definitely snuck the Clueless soundtrack out of my sister's Case Logic on a regular basis, ostensibly for the... Cracker, Radiohead, Bosstones, etc but yeah Supermodel got a spin every time. I haven't read the story but I hope she was asleep.
  5. I missed Luke Bell when he was alive and didn’t like this song the first time it came around in the algorithm, but it weaseled in there and has been in my head all day
  6. got the proud uncle opportunity this weekend to get facetimed while they were playing guitars at Strait. Steered them away from a jr sized Martin and then teamed up with my niece to bully her parents into stretching the budget for a Koa 214CE that she decided she liked and was also the most expensive one they pulled down. Teamwork.
  7. I feel like Garth maybe played Takamines? I assumed Steve Earle did too, but mostly because he had that line about not going very far with $37 and a Jap guitar.
  8. Just boys doing truck stuff Before heading to a princess party 4 years old. Goddamn. Nice little Saturday.
  9. Starting to experiment with some hot sauce. I made a pretty simple Serrano one a couple weeks back that I’ve been enjoying. This is now cooling, I think I’ll need to add more vinegar or strain it, we’ll see.
  10. I use pb2 in my shake. getting enough fiber? Do you need something you can snack on in volume? I’ve been freezing those big long moon drop grapes and they’re great.
  11. I have not been paying attention to this at all, but I'm curious about how far they see the modular personalization bit of this going and also wondering how much of this they are seeing as... doing lean product development on an entire car, seeing how this works before moving on to the slightly refined version, the truckier version, the coupe, whatever.
  12. I love the idea of having some basically go kart type vehicle for quick drives around town. LIke a Willys Jeep or a Thing or something, except I don't want to be a jeep guy and then it comes down still needing a real vehicle and not wanting three cars in my normal upper middle class house.
  13. Got a full physical. Doc is happy. I finally caved and bought new pants again. Two pairs of Levi’s 30x32. I wore a fitted shirt today and it stayed tucked in all day long. Hell yeah. For me, I love my protein shake. I’ve been in the office all week and I hate that I haven’t gotten to have it. Delicious, filling, and I can stretch it with ice if I want more volume. I’ve never ate so much spinach.
  14. Still loving this little buck. It’s small enough to not feel in my pocket, so I carry it all the time now.
  15. Just make it into the dip from Chuy’s and you can pretend it is salsa.
  16. I have (had) Reverb pegged as an interesting potential employer. I used to be much heavier in DevOps, which is a field where Etsy was pretty pioneering, and I wouldn't mind living in Chicago where they are HQ'd and of course, a tech/digital company that is guitar focused - that would be perfect. Anyways, just from the randos I've connected with at Reverb on LinkedIn I've noticed some "Farewell!" posts over the past year or so, no idea if that's related. Curious how it goes. I'm almost bummed that the Etsy/Reverb thing is gone just from a career interest thing but also I'm not deep in that niche any more and I don't even know if Etsy is still a leader in that space and meh.
  17. Nobody is crying when you pull the little bottle of ketchup out of your purse.
  18. oh yeah i agree, was just making a fairly politically inert joke about our current president's eating habits that did unlock a memory I had almost completely forgotten of being 18 and taking a girl who I was a bit on the fence about to a "fancy" dinner (for me for then, I think it might have been Birraporetti's before a movie at the angelika) and she stuck her gum on her knife on the table and immediately asked for a side of ranch. And as soon as she said "ranch" I made up my mind that I was about to move to Austin and she would stay in Conroe and that would be that. She was cute, I wonder what she looks like now.
  19. We had a Fruitopia vending machine in my intermediate school. Which was fine, since it offered something that looked like juice which of course is healthy and I'm pretty sure part of that whole food pyramid thing.
  20. That’s how they got PnB Rock
  21. That kinda money can certainly insure some prompt service 😉
  22. If you're a decent person and you've ever spent any time around families without.... a generational structure of wisdom, it's easy to be compassionate towards people who grow up that way and for whom making what seem like obvious good choices to folks like most of us is much much less obvious and much more difficult. And just a rudimentary understanding of the world and numbers and statistics can inform you how you should understand things in the aggregate while also recognizing that people aren't limited to whatever "their" average is and have the ability to make choices to change their lives. Poor people (in the aggregate) eat like shit because it's generally cheaper and easier and the wisdom of making different choices has been spoonfed to them less and their lives are fucking hard. I feel a lot of compassion for those folks, and also I posted in the thanksgiving thread about the wife's little 1 year old second cousin from Louisiana walking around with coke in a baby bottle, holy fuck wow. Maybe it was a cherry coke, had a little vodka. I dunno. That little baby is probably going to be feeding her own little baby cheetos in 16 years. Or maybe not. Goddamn. Anyways, it's structurally more difficult for poor folk in the aggregate to be thin for a multitude of reasons. Most not all of them could make different choices and not be fat, but it's not easy to make those choices and I'm not sure anyone here is arguing that it is. even this is really saying the same thing that people who swear by calories in/calories out are. those folks recognize that you can plateau, your body can slow down if it thinks it is starving, its harder to keep a deficit if you're eating shitty calories, not everyones body burns calories the same way all things equal. But there's no such thing as magic.
