  1. I rewatched a bunch of X Files episodes last year and found the one where Mulder is in a Groundhog Day where his water bed leaks and there’s a bank heist gone wrong (Monday, from Season 6). Spotted something familiar
  2. oooooooohhhhh. 3/4 has to mean 3+4 right?
  3. Just spent probably too much on a little buck to finally quiet the voice in my head saying “I wish I still had that little buck”. (yeah time for a new mousepad) the new one is the 505 Knight on the top. Then the 55 that has ostensibly (but rarely since 2020) been my daily carry and the 110 I used to carry for whatever reason in college lol they don’t just sell the 505 anymore, you order it from the custom shop. I didn’t really want any customizations, but it’s got some nice looking wood and a mirror shine, for now I’ll see how long I can carry this before it slips into a seat cushion and is lost again to time
  4. Who did the butterfinger brisket?
  5. Seems weird he’d need the gofundme. Get better big guy
  6. I read threads quickly and can often read a post without really knowing who is writing it. My ignore list contains people I don’t wish to engage with as well as people who I think are stupid enough that I don’t want to accidentally read what they say without clicking on their name first.
  7. RIP Charlie’s mom. Had no idea she was part of the Pee Wee universe as well
  8. I was trying to remember if it was from this thread that I was listening to Wednesday. MJ Lenderman has officially left the band, lol or i guess at least, no longer a touring member
  9. leaked footage from the movie, where Costello and Genovese get summoned to Salvatore Maranzano's office for a meet
  10. OOooO Deeeevraux
  11. so in this case, it sounds like the guy didn't know who he was shooting. he was having some sort of mental health crisis and fired into a crowd and hit one person, thankfully non-fatally. Adding the details that it was a pregnant lady ratchets up the hysteria and emotion around it, which of course is why it is framed as "he shot a pregnant lady", which is accurate but not representative of what happened. similarly, in kenosha, what's his face didn't go track down a pedophile child abusing i don't even know what - he went there to shoot protestors he disagreed with. I don't know if you're following the nuance at all here but it's consistent to treat these things the way the people here are treating them - it is related to context and intent rather than picking framing that allows you to emotionally justify your favorite types of cruelty.
  12. I haven’t dug a bunch into his backstory but the article I found didn’t go into detail about the shooting. If you’re trying to paint by numbers, mass death shooting event would trigger discussion about gun laws (inevitably because of the gun used) where mentally unstable vet shooting into a crowd and hitting one person in the leg sounds like “we should take care of our troops, including dealing with the massive trauma inherent to the ways that they are asked to serve “. i don’t like the guy doing gun violence but I’m not connecting that with him being brown. if the deal was military service as a path to citizenship I think we should treat him like a citizen and a veteran. But for a lot of people this is how they want to treat their neighbors and our troops.
  13. Caved and bought new pants. Feels good man.
  14. Interesting, looks like he had a somewhat heroic couple of tours, lifted a burning car off of two soldiers and caught fire in the process, dealt with mental issues and fired a gun into a crowd, did time in prison. I guess good news for people who care about pregnant women’s legs is that they’re getting rid of the brown people and presumably bolstering mental health resources at the VA. I haven’t been following, not sure.
  15. I try not to jump in on bashing Tesla the cars because whatever. I mean I'm not going to buy one, but I can separate it out a bit. But it felt crazy to me the last time I was in one how cheap everything felt.
  16. Man I’m trying to get myself into an actual book reading (not book listening while I clean at night) habit just to model that shit with the kids. Holding a book, reading quietly. No luck yet but we’ll do it.
  17. Are the Hyundai Ioniqs nice? I’ll probably keep driving my truck for another 5 years but the 6 looks cool. But Hyundai.
  18. Central Market does have the most bomb-ass pinwheels.
  19. I don’t understand why you’re both proud of your big shits but also a shy pooper ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  20. Still haven’t had a chance to play it. Now that 7 is out to complain about are people praising 6?
  21. The two songs I remember from my 7th grade cotillion dance were Jump Jive and Wail, and Men in Black. Ah, 1998. What great luck for Setzer that he got a swing revival. Also in 2008 I was on tour with my old band and we were waiting for some kind of radio interview in Chicago. The guest before us was the Cherry Poppin Daddies guy and he got all pissed because the interviewer insinuated that they had just 1 hit.
  22. I wonder if it has any effect on resistance during bends, etc? I swear I can feel the… jangliness or slinkiness or whatever of the strings not being attached to the body on my duo jet. But I’m also skeptical of all my feelings about this guitar voodoo shit. Danish Pete swears there is a difference between tele bridge pickups mounted to the body vs the pickguard. Gibson folks go on about long neck tenons while their headstock is held on with Elmer’s.
