    Are you in the hill country? Because I've read a couple articles how various projects have basically permanently fucked up with wells of tons of home and landowners.

    A for-profit enterprise ignoring the negative externalities of their actions to the detriment of the community they move into? In MY Texas??

    Shot in the dark:  Black Parler isn’t going to be nearly as entertaining as black Twitter.

    Definitely not as entertaining as Black Panther. 

    I'm thinking it'll be more of a Clayton Bigsby vibe

    Is it just me or is this just not good? The beginning looks and sounds like a high school band.

    I can assure you, it went better then it did during rehearsal at 6:45 on Saturday morning lol. That halftime performance was the second end to end run through, and the first to actually play combined with LHB - AND - that old dude talked so long we didn't get to play the Eyes as we had rehearsed that morning. There was a real "fuck it, we'll do it live" vibe lol. Everything was running behind schedule and not smoothly during the rehearsal and moving from A to B throughout the day, but it was a blast and fun and nostalgic as hell to be on DKR again. 

    Real talk though, COVID was rough on LHB as an institution. They basically had two years of no games for upperclassmen to pass traditions down, so everything is a little off as they get the flywheel spinning again.

  5. Whoof, getting parler into the mix is openly flirting with fascism and insurrection. There was an incredible amount of evidence on and livestreams ran from parler's servers on Jan6 - some of it has even been used to secure criminal convictions with years of federal prison time for their """free speech""" on ye's new """free speech""" website

    That's a big yikes from me, dawg.

    In the US this is currently present in the form of laws that are being formed and implemented that impose these views on people who don't believe them. What do you do then?

    More than just "imposing views on people who don't believe them" - which can be #bothsides'd into "well we're the real victim because our kids have to be aware of gay people!"

    It's imposing exclusively religious ideals and morality against a society (ie: homosexuality is a choice and a sin) through the state and the legal system. THAT is the problem I have with the modern church and """christians""" today

    Past Episode was ok with Megan The Stallion as host and musical guest. Writing was better but execution needs a lot of work.

    Yeah production was pretty sloppy in a few places from a technical direction perspective with hot mics and missed camera switches

  8. Bump, just stumbled across a bunch of never aired on TV fights on the BattleBots YouTube

    Some pretty good fights and action from the jump! It feels like a preseason sort of deal

     

    Also, I'm freakin STOKED - I'm gonna be in Vegas this weekend to see Texans/Raiders and snagged tickets to see BattleBots at 4 this Saturday with my buddies

  9. They made a nice little history booklet on Bertha and gave it out to LHAB members, there's some pretty cool photography and stories from shipping it to London in 2015 for the New Year's Day parade, Bertha's featured role in the John Philip Sousa biopic "Star and Stripes Forever", and her many many refurbishments that were funded by selling the old parts that fell off over the years.

    I hope you weren't the alum marching with a bright orange plastic trombone 

    Naw dawg, TUBA! Although those plastic horns are fun, you can really make some noise with em lol. And they're cheap so you don't care if it gets knocked around in the stands like you might with a concert horn

    Peter Zeihan had a video about this a few weeks or more back. Basically the Chinese can make the low quality chips but even the mid grade chips are beyond their grasp.  They're not close to make the high quality chips

    And most importantly, ASML is no longer shipping their lithography equipment to China nor supporting it in any way whatsoever. ASML is who's been pushing the industry further and further with it's ultra low wavelength and high intensity laser research. Literally every fab around the world relies on ASML - if you're making anything newly designed or cutting edge, ASML is the only company that can make the hardware to produce your chip designs

    NVIDIA cancels their $900 card, their cheapest, but keeps the $1200 and $1600 cards.  The $900 card was too confusing for consumers.

    https://kotaku.com/nvidia-pc-graphics-card-rtx-4080-4090-price-date-cancel-1849659147

    I mean, it's the 4070. They just didn't want to charge $900 for a xx70 card and break their pricing model. Because the 12GB and 16GB 4080s weren't just a difference in memory, the 16GB was 30% faster by Nvidia's own published benchmarks. And then they "unlaunched" the 12GB 3 days after they published the numbers lol

    First one wasn't her fault another driver crashed her.  The second and third weren't really too big a deal.  This one, well it's an issue.  She has what I call Seagull Syndrome.  She flies in, squawks, makes a mess, and flies out leaving someone to clean up.  This time, she'll be helping clean up.

    It sounds like she may be driving a little riskier (or maybe more distracted?) than she needs to be though. If she's picking up this many accidents this quickly, she's gonna have one hell of an insurance premium keeping up that habit
