  1. Past hour
  2. I was there. Was a freshman in high school. I think it was my third concert ever (Asia and Van Halen were 1 and 2)? The drummer for Golden Earring was pretty ballsy. He did a really good solo during their set. Not something you see from an opener. And not many drummers are going to do a solo ahead of Neil Peart doing his later. Rush always had good openers, and they were never butthurt and thought “we don’t want to bring a band that might take away from what we do”. Looking at you, Van Halen, with the rockabilly band you brought out on the 1984 tour. Or the aging BTO you brought out on the 5150 tour. Or freaking After The Fire and “Der Kommisar” in 1982. Golden Earring was solid.
  3. The episode where the guy who loves to read goes into a bank vault to read during his lunch break and survives a nuclear war is greatness. Don’t want to spoil the ending.
  4. I keep repeating something I read a long while back, the country changed when people started thinking of themselves as taxpayers rather than citizens. I finally got off my lazy ass and ran it down. I think the place I read it must have been quoting this piece in Harpers 2016. The article is: Save Our Public Universities In defense of America’s best idea by Marilynne Robinson
  5. Never watched a minute of Breaking Bad, and I never got into the Sopranos. The Wire is somewhere in my top 5. And I need to watch it again, but it's an investment.

  7. They had seven females once.
  8. American = in the "bread and circuses" stage of the Fall of Rome. Irony is dead.
  9. Oh, so it’s true. High ranking democrats are satanist pedophiles who suitcases Epstein and since Trump is back in charge Maxwell is now safe from being suicided and can speak out.

    Pizza

    I recommend “All Day Pizza” in Hyde Park. Sell by the slice and basically two slices is half a pizza. They have Meanwhile Brewing in can and some others on tap. Pizza is more thin crust with a thicker, doughy edge. It is really good pizza.
  11. The party of family values.
  12. I thought that Shrek was green.
  13. Responses to Derek Huffman message quoted above:
  14. I enjoyed it. Laughed multiple times.
  15. "You were the greatest golfer of the 90s. Besides me and Tiger."
  16. Some of you seem to not understand that raising or maintaining high interest rates is one way the Fed slows the growth in the supply of money. It's one tool. Bank reserve requirements are another but the fact that they're going lower is indicative of who controls what in our current governance.
  17. These cars create so much spray. I just hope we don’t have another cancelled race behind the safety car like a couple years ago. It sucks these cars can’t actually race in the rain.
  18. Laugh if you want, but how else are you supposed to make homemade Nutter Butters?
  19. i'm going to keep reminding everyone that gardere was a dog in all 4 wins (thanks to @MaxHorn for that new bit of trivia just learned the other night) weird shit happens in fair park - we do not walk in there expecting to cut them to pieces we walk out of there happy with a win of any kind aggy on the other hand, this year, anything less than 78-0 will be acceptable
  20. Israel's own military came to the same conclusion. No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say Israel has long restricted or completely blocked aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population. For nearly two years, Israel has accused Hamas of stealing aid provided by the United Nations and other international organizations. The government has used that claim as its main rationale for restricting food from entering Gaza. But the Israeli military never found proof that the Palestinian militant group had systematically stolen aid from the United Nations, the biggest supplier of emergency assistance to Gaza for most of the war, according to two senior Israeli military officials and two other Israelis involved in the matter. In fact, the Israeli military officials said, the U.N. aid delivery system, which Israel derided and undermined, was largely effective in providing food to Gaza’s desperate and hungry population. Now, with hunger at crisis levels in the territory, Israel is coming under increased international pressure over its conduct of the war in Gaza and the humanitarian suffering it has brought. Doctors in the territory say that an increasing number of their patients are suffering from — and dying of — starvation. More than 100 aid agencies and rights groups warned this past week of “mass starvation” and implored Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian assistance. The European Union and at least 28 governments, including Israeli allies like Britain, France and Canada, issued a joint statement condemning Israel’s “drip-feeding of aid” to Gaza’s two million Palestinian residents. Israel has largely brushed off the criticism. David Mencer, a government spokesman, said this week that there was “no famine caused by Israel.” Instead, he blamed Hamas and poor coordination by the United Nations for any food shortages. Israel moved in May toward replacing the U.N.-led aid system that had been in place for most of the 21-month Gaza war, opting instead to back a private, American-run operation guarded by armed U.S. contractors in areas controlled by Israeli military forces. Some aid still comes into Gaza through the United Nations and other organizations. The new system has proved to be much deadlier for Palestinians trying to obtain food handouts. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, almost 1,100 people have been killed by gunfire on their way to get food handouts under the new system, in many cases by Israeli soldiers who opened fired on hungry crowds. Israeli officials have said they fired shots in the air in some instances because the crowds came too close or endangered their forces. The military officials who spoke to The New York Times said that the original U.N. aid operation was relatively reliable and less vulnerable to Hamas interference than the operations of many of the other groups bringing aid into Gaza. That’s largely because the United Nations managed its own supply chain and handled distribution directly inside Gaza. cont'd:
  21. How does that fab tech device work? Is this on a jeep?
  22. That was a satisfying watch. It would be great to get that ‘54 Strat into the hands of Eric Johnson to replace his original “Virginia” Strat, but the one in this video is Ash. Virginia was Sassafras. My guess is EJ and his magic canine hearing would be able to tell the tonal difference.
  23. If this is in response to my post, I agree completely and never indicated otherwise. One can believe she has truthful knowledge of Trump/Clinton banging kids, but it was never pursued because she’s untrustworthy. One can believe she has no such knowledge, but would be willing to say it to save herself. I don’t know why now anyone cares what she would say about “naming names” now. A lot of opining Trump will pardon her in exchange for her not giving evidence against him. Or, giving evidence against Democrats. If she had credible evidence against such people it would’ve been used long ago.
  24. 50/50
