    Pink Floyd

    I've just listened to that original link 4 times in loop and I can confirm, it is indeed a very good version.
  4. Lil Wayne 39 - Live fast die young lifestyle Kim Kardashian 41 - Would this surprise anyone Shaq 49 - Sorry, big men go early Brendan Fraser 53 - Not looking good, must have some health issues Toni Braxton 54 - It really is lupus. Ghislaine Maxwell 60 - Probably by suicide by 3 rounds to the back of the head Michael J. Fox 60 - The shaking got to end sometime Melanie Griffith 64 - A few too many cosmetic surgeries. Morgan Freeman 84 - Past avg life expectancy; had a better run than most. Bob Newhart 92 - This is like the free bingo square.
  5. At one point there were 431,000 people watching the NASA stream on youtube. Not bad for Christmas.
  6. I wish my real cars were as indestructible as those things. I have kids, including 4 boys, and we only whet through 2 of them.

    Pink Floyd

    What the hell is this thread rambling on about... I expected a new Pink Floyd thread to be about the official live recordings from '71 and '72 that were released a week ago. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/pink-floyd-surprise-live-albums-1272350/ On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/search/pink floyd live The recordings are live gigs in the period before just after Atom Heart Mother release, and before and after Meddle, and then just before Dark Side of the Moon came out. The earliest recording (Feb '70) has a setlist with all stuff off Atom (Careful with that Axe, Set the Controls, Saucerful, etc.), then they start mixing in songs that will be on Meddle, and then ones that will be on DSotM. You can hear the band evolving and getting tighter. Also, anyone who doesn't think the chick on Great Gig deserves a co-writing credit, just listen to the version on "Live, Lyon 12 June 1971, Tokyo 16 Mar 1972". That girl made that song.

    SpaceX

    The satellites that get launched into space more often than not are built in a clean room like you have in mind, but the rockets that get them to space are more along the lines of a car manufacturing plant; neat and tidy, but not "clean". What SpaceX is doing in boca chica doesn't build the payload to be launched, i.e. a fragile weather satellite or a communication satellite. What they are building is the rocket itself, which consists of the outer steel shell, internal pressure tanks, internal plumbing, and installing the rocket engines. The engines themselves are build in a modern factory in Hawthorne California. That said, you are entirely correct in thinking that it's unusual to build part of the rocket right out on the beach. SpaceX is doing that because they realized that the early prototypes they were started with didn't require a fully completed manufacturing plant and that temporary structures worked just fine. As their prototypes have gotten more mature, so has the SpaceX complex down in Boca Chica. If you go a google image search for "building satellites", you get "clean room" images like this: .... compare that to a google image search for "building rocket engines" where you get things like this: ...and this is the SpaceX manufacturing site (as of jan 21) down in Boca Chica where they build the rockets before rolling them a few miles down the road to launch. It's turned into a legit manufacturing operation.
  9. Twice? Is such a thing even possible?
  10. Unfortunately, the SEC model of scheduling patsies and weak-P5 teams works pretty damn well. Mixed that with the ESPN hype machine, you get built in ranking bonus. To me it feels like there are less and less of the non-conference big time match ups. OSU-Oregon was great, but that feels like an exception. Sadly, Alabama scheduling us next year fits that model...we are the weak P5 team...our blood may be blue and we have fat stacks of cash, but we are a weak team.
  11. Depends on how old you are. If you're 35 or younger, you should be able to train aggressively. There are training programs that are easy to find on the web to help you approach peak performance. It's just a matter of putting in the time. If you're over 50, it's quite a bit harder. If you are an old, you probably know that old people break really easily. If a typical over 50 year old person went out to a track and tried to run 1 lap as fast as they could, they A) wouldn't make it around the track and B) wouldn't be walking for months. Sprinting is _really_ stressful to your body. (yes, 400m is a sprint). I would suggest starting slow with 15 minute jogs at a slow pace and over the course of a couple months start building mileage/time. When you can run for 30 minutes reliably (3-4 months) without physical break downs, I would start to increase the pace on the 30 minute runs. Only in the last 6 weeks would I switch to the track and start with intervals; [run 200m, rest for a minute, repeat]. Even then I would start at about 50% effort on the intervals.
  12. This. It took less than 30 minutes to fix the Start Menu, after that, it's just Windows. In the past 2+ months, I've had to google a handful of things to find where they moved them, but the answer is always at the top of the search results. Yes, some icons and visual things are different, but within weeks everything feels normal. I not sure I could even tell you what's different from Win 10. Same stuff, different version.
  13. When George was stuck on the 2nd line of Something, he had "Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like... ". I'm talking to the TV... Come on George, you can get it. Come one. Think, man, think. Dude, it's not hard. It obvious....It's the only thing that fits. The difference between great lyrics and ok lyrics is a timeless song vs a throwaway song. The Beatles got it right more often than not.
  14. My approach would be to have a late lunch in Marathon...When it's time to drive, it's petal down. Of course there are probably no 'good' places to eat in the 4 or 5 restaurants in Marathon.
  15. I'm sure you see that Google Maps says I10 is 30 miles longer than the southern Del Rio route and it lists them both at about 5h 15m. If speed is one of your objectives, I think the interstate wins hands down. Interstates are big, wide, well maintained (for the most part), and designed for higher speeds. Q) How fast can I realistically drive in West Texas if I don’t want a ticket? A) As fast as your car can go. I've done the drive to El Paso a number of times and have never seen anyone getting a ticket in the remote stretches. The towns are few and far between, so as long as you don't blow through Junction at 100mph, speed is largely whatever you are comfortable with (for large sections of that drive). The 'Con' for the I10 route is it's a monotonous Interstate; the southern route is probably is more interesting, but will be slower than google indicates.
  16. Just got done with Ep. 3. ... I wish there was an episode 4,5 & 6....To be a fly on the wall in the Abbey Road sessions. First and foremost, fuck the haters and the police that shut the concert down. Second, London looks cold as hell. Third, Yoko is creepy as fuck.
  17. I'm a dozen or more drinks into a great day of College football. Let me have my fantasy that Riley will leave and OU will suck like Cornhuskers.
  18. Agree to Disagree. OU has very little going for it other than it's a Winning program. Arky and New Mexico share a border with Texas, but that hasn't really helped their climb to the top. If OU falls to earth for 2 year in a row, new High Schools grads won't know them as a winning program. They stay on to in Recruiting, because that keep winning. One Fucked Up hire and 2 losing seasons, and they are Nebraska.
  19. The Grass is always greener.... They have no Idea how good they have it. They need to take a close look at all their their neighbor states. They are one fired coach away from being Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Colorado, or New Mexico. Who are they going to get that is better than Riley? 1 or 2 bad seasons in a row and they will be back to being a 2nd or 3rd tier football school.
  20. Damn it, I'm out of Tonic for my Gin & Tonics. Can someone go get me some?
  21. Props to the OSU Radio Guys. "Where's that Sooner Magic Now, baby" Beautiful. Funckin-a, man, I approve.,
  22. So is every Red Blooded American.
  23. I had to look it up... The only song they recorded in Feb '69, before Ringo's movie was I Want You (She's So Heavy), with Billy Preston on a Hammond B3. That song is my favorite Beatles song, by a mile. Back in the '80's, I drove from Santa Cruz to San Luis Obispo in California on Hwy 1 (along the coast), at night, in a Trans Am, with the T-top off, and I Want You (She's So Heavy) on repeat. Good Times, very Good Times. I will occasionally have drinks until I'm comfortable numb, put on good head phones, put that song on repeat on high volume, turn out the lights, and just chill. Yeah, I'm the target audience for the Peter Jackson movie.
  24. Damn straight. Must watch TV. Fuck OSU (BigTen version) and OU. If we can't win the B12, I'm OK with OSU winning it.
  25. Da Faq you smoking. We lost to Kansas as home. We gotta walk before we run.
