    Your arguing that THIS quarantine was required. Which I did not say. 

    he's arguing that you're saying this quarantine was NOT required, which I agree is not what you were saying, you were saying that based on the still unmeasured economic damage from this quarantine, we won't do it again in the future

  2. they used to call this a "desert island" list, i.e., you were gonna be stranded and could only pick X number of records to have with you.

    Two from the Black Crowes, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion and Amorica. Those are still the two records, more than anything else, that made me want to pick up a guitar and learn to create music.

    Two from SRV, Texas Flood and In Step. I love all his records, but those are the two that really best show what a gifted natural musician he was, and how good he could be when he focused and applied himself. 

    I didn't get into Zeppelin until well after they were defunct, so my exposure to them was through the boxed set(s)-- is it cheating to pick one of the boxed set discs? Because I'll take the third disc from the first boxed set if not-- Kashmir, Dancing Days, When The Levee Breaks, Achilles Last Stand, Ten Years Gone. Awesome.

    Alice In Chains, Dirt.

    Cracker, Kerosene Hat.

    The Damnations (TX), Half Mad Moon.

    Brother Cane, Seeds and Wishpool.

    I might as well stop, I'm only at ten and I probably have another fifty records I wouldn't want to live without. I haven't even thought about hip hop yet.

    When do you suppose aggy is going to make an announcement how they single handedly saved the country from Covid-19?

    right after they stop laughing at anyone concerned about it and licking toilet seats

    I've actually had Alex at Musical Exchange do the bulk of the assembly work

    is that like, you take him a bag of parts and he puts it all together....? If so, ballpark what does that cost? I have an old Strat in pieces that I keep meaning to repaint but I really doubt even after painting that I'll want to reassemble it, and more to the point that it will be playable if I were to do that myself.

    Back in my pro days, fellony B&E would have seriously crossed my mind.

    Absolutely, 100% true. I've never considered it in terms of "let me pack up my crowbar and head to Oak Liquor Cabinet", but I have thought about it in terms of "OK, if all the stores were closed and I needed vodka, how would I go about breaking into the store? Doesn't seem like you can get in through the roof, maybe the back door? Where are the cameras?"

    like way too much thought.... I was going to do for me what God would not do, if push came to shove

    My home group is shut down due to county restrictions but we are doing some Zoom meetings.  This worries me because we typically have only about a month extra of rent in the bank.  We have a Pay Pal link on our website where I have and will continue to donate but I can only hope others are doing the same.  Here's to hoping our landlord is understanding.

    we're not nearly as digitally savvy as we should be-- I've asked in the past about Venmo, things like that, and I think up until now the reaction's been "yeah, good idea, we'll get to it.... when we get to it"

    Fuck, hope you’re right.  I really want to believe people can police themselves.  

    just to clarify, i meant what I've seen in my examples was 100% the opposite-- I did not mean 100% of the time, it would work out the way I was proposing. I've seen the good, I'm not naive enough to say it always will work out that way.

    Here, I think it would, because it's a sports and tits site and most of us want it as a respite from politics.

    That's a terrible idea as many have noted.  Hell no.  

    Wrong. What happens when politics are banned from a non-political site is, the very very few posters that just cannot live without sharing their political commentary either leave the site in a snit, or just post political stuff where it doesn't belong and quickly accumulate enough warnings to get banned. 

    And fucking none of them are missed when either of those things happen.

    they probably assign a lot of TV, advertising, donations, "third tier", and sponsorship dollars to womens sports if they are not readily attached to a specific sport 

    right, they play games with the number

    "our women's sports are hugely profitable!"

  10. The opening scene of Better Call Saul last night... damn. My last drink was when my daughter was about 15 months old, so if I keep sober she'll never experience or remember anything like that, but damn. Children get the worst of it.
