  1. My first thought of course is if she’s black. Although it’s interesting if I think back to the most memorable music videos from that time, nuthin but a g thang is one of the first ones that pops up for me
  2. I’m curious about the rise of the geek since the early 1980s and if that has changed the nerd experience. I mean, there are obviously still nerds regardless of what they are into, but I don’t know how possible it was to be “cool” while being into nerd stuff back in the day. I went to a giant high school so it was kinda easy to disappear into your own group regardless - I was with the band and the AP people, we had our own social structure mostly independent from jocks/cheerleaders/whatever, nobody was getting their butt glued together because we didn’t interact. Also I see that 2004 picture and it looks obviously different to me than my nieces/nephews or the teenagers I see around my neighborhood.
  3. Someone publish a video on x explaining that the cleaning hack for cyber trucks is barkeepers friend. lol the stuff gets “pretty wet” in the covered bed?
  4. I wish I could remember what song we were recording at the treefort when we brought these out Bright as hell and super cool sounding was my recollection. i also have a 98 American Standard. I’ve never felt like I’ve needed another strat, or at least another sss strat.
  5. Mil sent me corn tortillas, i don’t have the energy to make flour, and I wanted to do something fajita-ish with some steak leftovers. And the toddler is in daycare. Not the prettiest, but not bad for the conditions.
  6. This is the same as all of my wife complaints, and I am trying to figure out how to short circuit this or always remember to approach differently, but she is just the master at failing to comprehend how to provide any useful information. Background here, we have a newborn, who was on the dock-a-tot on the table while we were eating breakfast. If I smell something funny while the baby is around my first thought is poop. My wife sits down with some sort of thing that looks like a cream cheese vegetable dip and I smell something strong, the information I was looking for was what ingredient on her plate might explain the smell. CM: What is that? CM Wife: it's a dip. CM: Yeah but what is in it? Is it like a coleslaw or something? CM Wife: I'm not sure CM: Does it have cabbage? CM Wife: It's vegetables. CM: Where did you get it? CM Wife: I made it out of that rainbow salad I had you get. nm find the fact that she doesn't know what is in something that she herself made, here is the rainbow salad: i suppose I need to just start with "what is that smell", but it's just maddening how tactical I have to be to get "it's cabbage and cream cheese" from "what is that".
  7. so I love the spark. I did end up just getting yet one more set of headphones - some audio-technica ones, whatever the standard ath studio homies. There had been a minute where I was really loving playing through my matchless while listening to music on my airpod maxes with transparent mode on (so you can hear everything around you), this is a much better quieter version of that letting me play along with youtube. I should really be fucking around with all of the different stuff but if I'm being real, I've been using the DC30 channel and playing along with the same "live from alabama" isbell tracks that I love playing. It's nice. The whole amp seems a little dark, especially if you use the built in speakers, but that is manageable. Any tips and tricks I should be playing with? I like the Vox AC30 model too and have played a bit with the classic jtm marshall amp for high gain rock stuff. It seems like spotify is supposed to connect to the app but I can only get it to pull up playlists that I've already built - would be cool to just jam along with spotify tracks without doing that kind of prep. I assume I can record out of this thing directly somehow, I need to figure that out. I don't know if I'll get anything written this month for the songwriter thing (I can steal 20 minutes a night but it's spotty) but I feel like this would be what I'd use for now rather than hauling my acoustic upstairs and recording stuff while everyone sleeps.
  8. If it is Keith Urban you should get him to post here
  9. Hurrrrr durrrr the cr is obsessed with Trump
  10. I got the “giving mom a break today?” comment from a cashier. I couldn’t come up with anything better than a stupid look and “no, we just needed some string cheese.” Next time I think I’ll say she died in childbirth.
  11. That one should smell just a little bit like cigarettes.
  12. no idea if it is that kind of relevant, but booksmart is awesome and i hope it is that movie for that generation
  13. Yeah it’s my oldest sister’s group. Also 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, and She’s All That
  14. Mean Girls might be better for millennials than American Pie. I was born in 85 (which makes me an old millennial) and I think I was in jr high when American Pie came out. Mean Girls is I suppose gender specific but it is classic. Is there another micro generation that could argue about American Pie vs Can’t Hardly Wait?
  15. The Sam’s shoppers scale with the shopping carts.
  16. All Texas Super Bowl would have been fun but this is trash
  17. They should dust off a Toyota Previa, replace the stereo, and then slap a battery in it. Build a firewall.
  18. I’ve got dum dums in my car for this purpose and it is still a struggle.
