  1. There’s metal, and then there’s Tevas metal.
  2. There was a slight ski slope in the high frets under the b and e. It was subtle but it was there visually. It was much more obvious in tone. I’d had some frustration in playing the middle of the neck on this strings because there was a lame buzz. he is doing that, upgrading to a bone nut, making some other slight cleanups to it, and restringing/basic set up for 280.
  3. i ended up taking the LP and Strat to Straight Frets here in austin. pretty good experience so far. we agreed that some of the high frets on the LP needed some plecking (as i'd notices some buzzing sizzle when playing in the middle of the neck). going to do that along with replacing the nut. the strat was in great shape and didn't need much of anything. we'll see if happier in a week.
  4. well there's something fresh... https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/14/opinion/14Roubini.html https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/the-prime-of-mr-nouriel-roubini/200990 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-roubini-outlook/roubini-sticks-to-2013-perfect-storm-prediction-idUSBRE86G1C820120717 https://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/faculty-research/nine-reasons-why-stock-markets-are-far-too-optimistic https://www.cantechletter.com/2020/05/nouriel-roubini-warns-of-great-depression-just-like-he-did-last-year-and-the-year-before-that/# https://www.moneylife.in/article/market-gurusoverrated-dr-roubini-flopsagain/15015.html https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nouriel-roubini-misses-another-prediction/ https://archive.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2011/01/09/that_guy_who_called_the_big_one_dont_listen_to_him/?page=full https://www.bloomberg.com/politics?pid=newsarchive&sid=aeY.UV6r3uiE https://web.archive.org/web/20140122210028/https://blogs.marketwatch.com/capitolreport/2014/01/22/dr-om-or-dr-doom-roubini-gets-meditative-in-davos/ https://web.archive.org/web/20090305060444/http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1882729,00.html
  5. he posted the filipowski tweet which pointed to sabatini's bullshit and provided opinions regarding the legal validity of the bill. it seems you are the one that did not understand what sabitini was saying...not mdmost. particularly in light of this post:
  6. why do you keep projecting what that dipshit anthony sabatini said in a tweet on to posters here? he's the ultimate maga cheearleading moron who does not believe that desantis went far enough in this bill. no one here has implied that disney is some "big winner" by having to deal with desantis's pandering to idiots. sabatini was saying that because he believes that desantis was full of shit in saying he was going to go after them and then trotting out this fairly weak bill relative to his bluster. disney having to navigate addlepates engaged in political retaliation is certainly not a win for them and i am not sure why you've decided to crusade projecting sabatini's words on to posters here and asking them to defend them.
  7. on the topic of setups, i was thinking that my three ladies (strat, tele, lp) all needed a little refresh. for all you guitar setup snobs in austin, any recommendations on where to take them?
  8. how am i supposed to trust this when he has some bullshit united tail marking on a supposed swa flight? jesus christ that was close. someone seriously fucked up.
  9. i went and got someone off the high road on friday to bring them back to my house and it looked like world war 1 back there. that is gonna take some time to clean up.
  10. she's an american citizen so i'm claiming as much of her as i can. giving further consideration to carole, no doubt she would belong. natural woman, it's too late, bitter with the sweet, so far away...a little range with locomotion, one fine day, porpoise song (for the monkees), chains (for the beatles)... and i completely agree with 4th&Five that sam beam is the type of guy who never gets love on these types of lists and threads...but damned if iron and wine doesn't have a metric fuckton of songs that are phenomenal and that i wish i wrote.

    yeah, you guys really are trying to out-"outoftoucholdwhiteguy pretending to know zero pop music as some sort of signaling your self-satisfaction and feeling superior" each other with a bit extra oomph today... even though there's not a lot there in terms of my favs, if you really are not familiar with irreplaceable, crazy in love, halo, single ladies...or destiny's child's hits like independent women, say my name, jumpin' jumpin', survivor (wulaw's favorite all time song for fuck's sake and that dude is the ultimate dork), bills bills bills...then jesus christ, let me also introduce you to something called human interaction. she has definitely used some of her financial success to grow her brand... 2003: 2022:
  13. looking at that list, it just occurred to me that chelsea net spent $611 million in the two transfer windows this year and have 9 points in seven games since the world cup.
  14. Here’s how the full table since the World Cup stacks up in full: Note: All teams have played six games unless otherwise specified. 1. Manchester United – 16 points, GD +8 (Played 7) 2. Brentford – 14 points, GD +9 3. Brighton – 13 points, GD +7 4. Manchester City – 13 points, GD +6 (Played 7) 5. Arsenal – 13 points, GD +6 6. Fulham – 13 points, GD +4 (Played 7) 7. Nottingham Forest – 11 points, GD +1 8. Newcastle United – 10 points, GD +4 9. Wolves – 10 points, GD +1 10. Tottenham – 10 points, GD 0 (Played 7) 11. Aston Villa – 10 points, GD 0 12. Chelsea – 9 points, GD +1 (Played 7) 13. Liverpool – 7 points, GD -5 14. West Ham United – 5 points, GD -3 15. Crystal Palace – 5 points, GD -7 (Played 7) 16. Leicester City – 4 points, GD -5 17. Everton – 4 points, GD -6 18. Leeds United – 3 points, GD -4 19. Southampton – 3 points, GD -7 20. Bournemouth – 1 point, GD -10
  15. with the epidemic misuse of possessives when intending plural (particularly with names) in our modern society, i am always kind of take notice and think "hmm" to myself when someone misuses a plural in place of possessive. makes the world a bit more interesting. if you consider the beginning of time to be february 2023, the most notable occurrence in soccer is the scrappy, neglected underdogs in 20th place beating the uberwealthy 1st place pretty boys for three points.
  16. i am a "member" of neither. but ee.
  17. i don't believe in any ism, i believe in myself. i quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." good point there. after all, he was the walrus. i could be the walrus. i'd still have to bum rides off people. that said, it was seriously bad and most of those middle-aged, overprivileged goobers who either grew up here or in river oaks/hyde park were going to fucking cut their own arms off or drop trees without taking weight out first on top of each other. so i lent my east texas, white trash formative years skillset doing that awful shit to try and help avoid catastrophe. lots of widow makers and hangers around an elementary school...not so great. got it cleaned up though. the amount of shit we cleared and sawed up will completely melt down even an industrial chipper.
  18. i am in the heart of westlake. i have buried lines and and am on the same circuit as the water plant. i'm a lucky mother fucker...never lost power or water during storm uri or this ice storm. but holy shit my lot was wrecked on trees. spent a lot of wednesday and thursday, and then all of friday chainsawing/polesawing/hauling some heavy ass live oaks...including three complete trees. really sad. spent half the day yesterday clearing my daughters' elementary school which was a shitshow as well. when i sleep, i feel polesaw vibrations right now.
  19. In their last eight games, Everton has taken 4 points of 1st and 2nd in the league. in the other six games, they have taken 0 points off of 20, 19, 18, 16, 14, 7.
  20. I swear to god, Manchester city really should have to subsidize us at this point. We have had more to do with their league titles the last few years than they have. this sport is dumb.
  21. while standing around looking up at the 450 gigantic trees i have at my house after wrangling all the huge fallen stuff together in a pile, i gave a good 8 seconds of thought to taking my wife's hair dryer to one of the seriously sagging oaks.
  22. dude, they are trying to sell the club before they get relegated and lose broadcast money. they have no other revenue. they are going to lose so much fucking money that it's going to make it impossible. oh, and they're halfway through building a new stadium. things really looking great for the toffees.
  23. wow. holy shit. presumably it is 1/10th of whatever the two manchester clubs did.
