  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah on KERA this morning they mentioned a $2.7M annual shortfall. Have to think that's a relatively small portion of their budget.
  3. Obviously, the credit goes to Seven Win Steve and Crissy Del Conte
  4. Only about 8% of NPR and PBS funding is from the federal government. I doubt they are going to cut back on things like transmission. Everyone who actually consumes that content has access to high speed internet anyway. Where cuts are going to hurt is in areas like production of content at the local level. Shows like Think out of DFW and The Daytripper out of Austin. New content is probably hosed.
  5. Those are about as good as the Atlanta scheme has ever looked.
  6. Imagine that's true, because it wasn't necessary to name names to indict Epstein or Maxwell. It might get interesting to release transcripts where a grand jury no-billed someone like Trump if that happened. Or they presented evidence but ultimately no indictment. But the likelihood of a judge releasing that is zilch unless that person is long dead. But, if you're going to do some allegedly transparent data dump on Epstein, grand jury transcripts would seem to be a pretty key part of that.
  7. My kid's going to be a Yearling this year so I don't know what kind of "freedoms" he will have. At least he's not a plebe. I'm not sure what their plan is for getting them back to WP, but last year they loaded up on the buses and rode back Saturday night. I think he said they got back from D.C. at 3:00am Sunday and started finals a couple of days later. Ouch.
  8. Yeah, there is some evidence that Trump was far more articulate in his younger years before the spirochetes got to his brain. Probably also applies to the signature.
  9. Maybe you should stop questioning him...give someone else a chance.
  10. It’s a distraction bc Trump knows he’s not in the grand jury testimony
  11. That's what I was driving at earlier. Had there not been the relationship between the parties, would have been an interesting question whether the Verve's sample would have infringed the original work. And one thing to always bear in mind in music copyright cases: the owner of the rights is often not the artist/authors, its a manager or record company, so not legally the same entity and often quite or completely "factually" independent (meaning doesn't need and doesn't have the blessing of the artists). The usual division is that the artists often own the "composition" copyrights (words and music), while a manager or record company owns the rights to the performance/sound recording. But that can vary quite a lot.
  12. Do we know if there is a prenup? If so, does this dude really GAF? Beyond getting outed on the jumbotron, it's a massive, pubic event that you have to consider people will see you. It's pretty brazen
  13. Maybe. It was written more than 20 years ago, and we've already noted how much his speaking abilities have declined over the last 10 years. So maybe 20 years ago, he was a better wordsmith (certainly never eloquent), but I wouldn't know. He wasn't on my political/cultural radar until after he started with his racist birther conspiracy bullshit.
  14. The only reason it went big is because someone knew they were cheating. If it had been him and his wife, it wouldn't have blown up. Jeesh.
  15. cross posted from the facebook thread:
  16. Brother... You don't have enough weapons... Nobody on this site has enough by themselves to protect themselves... including what has been thrown into the Gulf of America.
  17. Triads and inversions are a great way to understand chords and their relationships to scales on the guitar, and it’s an easy skip from their to jazz arpeggios adding the 7ths. As for alternate tunings, yeah, your fretboard knowledge may diminish, but it might make it easier to do some things. Like slide with open G tuning. I mostly stick to standard and drop D tuning where most of my fretboard knowledge stays intact. But, I use other more disruptive alternate tunings a lot for fingerpicked acoustic pieces, where you can get some really interesting things going with your left hand that would be impossible in standard tuning. Meaning, the intervals being played with an arpeggiated finger picked arp would be impossible to fret with your left hand in standard tuning. In this type of music, I’m not looking to play scale runs. I’m thinking very little about scales at all and more about arpeggiated chords and chord melody.
  18. I don't know about at concerts but the kiss cam / fan cam is SOP at many sporting events during down time. I don't have any blame on Coldplay for that unless they posted this to their official account. Agree with you on the hoards of people harassing all parties even the ones not present through social media. I'll probably obliviously interact with 10+ people who have committed infidelity today. I don't need to know who, and if I do somehow know it doesn't affect me at all.
  19. You[‘re confirming your idiocy if you think the Biden admin would have leaked everything. Biden ran on getting back to the “rules, norms, and decorum” of pre-Fat Boy.
  20. i’ve always found history fascinating. It is often a template on how to deal with current problems.
