  1. Well 5+7/16ths is just a tad too short, at least for la banderita tortillas
  2. I used to eat the shit out of Taco Cabana enchiladas. After any gig in high school, that was the late night destination. We knew a crew of Houston guys and their version was a Jalisciences near the…. Galleria? that everyone called “Jolly Science”.
  3. my sister played oboe and I played french horn. we were all pretty musical but still I feel bad for everyone else in retrospect - those are the worst learning curve instruments. can still hear oboe the squeaks. most annoying 5th grade band kids are sax and percussion stupidest instrument is bass clarinet and dorkiest is euphonium in the context of listening to popular music, I'm going to throw steel drums into the discussion. When has that appeared on a track (either as an instrument or as a sample) and made things better?
  4. It’s really something like that, specifically something like a low tier pointy Ibanez plugged into a solid state half stack with a metal zone in front of it. but, you’re really criticizing the player rather than the instrument. and does a…. Jaw harp, or a vuvuzela, etc count as an instrument
  5. oh that's funny I always just assumed they were from Houston, and that was back in the day before there was almost any way of learning facts about tiny bands. When I was probably a junior in high school my band (which at that point still considered itself somewhat "ska") opened for them an Los Skarnales upstairs at Fitzgeralds and I thought I had basically made it at that point.
  6. The last batch I made I used a half sheet, and honestly I think the thing I need may be a quarter sheet. Might order a pack of Nordic ware quarter sheets, which are 13x9.6 and an inch deep. Could go two rows vertical on the 13” side. I bought these to try freezing half of the batch, the little guys might be convenient Actually, let me clarify - do you roll and sauce and then freeze? Or roll sauce bake and freeze and then rebake? I’m assuming the former
  7. There was a third wave ska band out of based out of Houston called Secret Agent 8 that had a theremin. So, just remember that before suggesting that they might not be cool.
  8. I think this is the guy, 15.5x10.5. So, somewhere around 5.25 for the skinny side, I’m gonna look around.
  9. Depends on how much of a bar tab you run up
  10. had to scroll back so far to find it, but I did because it's one of the best pictures in this thread imo - but yeah, that's more than I'm hoping to make in a batch. I guess I should get out the measurements and just find a pan that's 2x that and a decent width. on my list of things this year is to fuck around with making corn tortillas, but I feel like the regular sized ones that you can get at the store are fairly consistent across brands? Are we making enchiladas with bigass tortillas?
  11. is there a dish that y'all have found is just the right size for making enchiladas? I always end up with a neat row of however many enchiladas and then two sets of two going the other direction and then a dead corner. Also going to try and roll/sauce/freeze an extra tray when I'm making them this week.
  12. I always love in movies like this how the shitty backwoods bar has a deep lineup of really good 7 piece bands that are in the bar tuning their guitars and shit at 10am
  13. That’s some rosewood looking mahogany. Although it can be tricky sometimes. i like playing “identify the guitar” with Carter’s Instagram feed because it’s always just a d-28.
  14. https://www.sedona411.com/sedona_directory
  15. I have to assume that Google thought this through and made it easy to stop unwanted notifications from Google alerts, but that’s here https://www.google.com/alerts I would think what you want is Sedona related businesses that are of the kind that are not… scrupulous when it comes to direct email marketing. A shotgun approach of signing up an email address for the newsletter of lots of different stores, what is the Sedona equivalent of do512 or whatever, is there a company that does…. Sand dune tours or whatever the fuck it is there. I think you need to budget a few hours, or maybe 15 minutes a night, to searching and subscribing. also, you could investigate the Craigslist approach. What is it… meetup? Is there a thing where maybe someone with his email address wants to meet people for crystal meditation in the Sedona area?
  16. Even more destructive to systematically deny them lifesaving care.
  17. Just list free chickens on craigslist using their phone number
  18. What’s the Martin? I’d say 28 but the bridge looks like rosewood? And I guess the d28 usually has a black pickguard…. D…16e or something? Although again with the bridge
  19. I think there’s an intersection of the social media thing and the mental health thing as far as grabbing labels, getting mired in self diagnosis, whatever stuff like that. The attention feedback loop, maybe some reverse star bellied sneetch stuff. For lack of a better term, there started to be some romance and fashion to being tragically broken in a lot of 2000s youth culture. But it’s also good that people who *do* genuinely have mental health struggles are less stigmatized when they speak about it or get help. I’m also skeptical of studies pointing to fewer instances back in the good old days -how are they understanding the majority of cases that people just didn’t talk about? There’s some incentivization stuff with the kids as well - if your kid is designated as having special needs, the classroom gets an additional helper? I know that that is a thing I’ve heard about in a few cases where parents were being encouraged to get a diagnosis. lots of talk about how people work in public vs private sectors when really it seems like the important thing about the public sector is its ability to do things for the public benefit. Privatized roads and eliminating public schools would/will be a disaster. Prisons, the military, oversight, etc.
  20. I have the Nanit as a monitor. It seems fairly good. What do I have going on now….. Ez is on my legs getting fed right now. I love the split screen. I didn’t use the sensor thing, and I think you can buy the monitor without it. I had the same experience as everyone else with the owlet sock, but I do know people who use it. I’m curious if the Nanit thing works in a Snoo. I haven’t been particularly worried about night breath tracking. You may like those swaddles. I still swear by the double batwing, and my wife makes me swaddle every nap I’m available for because he sleeps longer and quieter when I bundle that fucker up My latest iteration of the swaddle, I fold up the bottom of both blankets simultaneously and then wrap. I’ve also switched to the hospital striped blankets for the bottom layer because they are huge. I can fold the first side all the way under and around the other side. He’s down 30 seconds after I get to the Snoo. Oh btw that thing he’s in is called a dock a tot, they’re outrageously expensive for what they are and completely worth it. If I had thought more about it I would have bought a second before Ez was born.
  21. The specific metric was wages quadrupling over 10 years, which is stupid. Of course as we’ve discovered, what he meant was something somehow even stupider.
