  1. Past hour
  2. BREAKING: Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of MLB's sports-betting investigation, sources tell ESPN. Clase is the second Guardians pitcher on leave tied to the investigation, joining right-hander Luis Ortiz.
  3. My parents didn't know what they were getting everyone into when they took us to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. My little brother was like 5 or 6. The sacrifice scene turned him white as a ghost and I'll never be able to get the dinner scene out of my head. Hollywood was going insane around that time and one thing the Karens of the 80's got right was the PG 13 rating due to that movie and, I think, Ghostbusters and Gremlins.
  4. That's all the beef that was leftover, and that's the best bread my HEB has - especially in a limited quantity. I did toast the ingredient facing side as well. Those bolillo rolls are pretty tasty.
  5. Well, feels like this is all me talking into the void but, that's OK... maybe someone will pick up on a band or two here. Went to Hot Summer Nights for two nights. One night by myself where I got to see what I wanted and the second night with my wife so I had to filter the bands to see. Case in point... I would have loved to have gone to see Pussy Gillette on Saturday but definitely not someone my wife would want to see. If you like lots of local musicians for free and missed this year's edition of Hot Summer Nights, keep a lookout for HAAM Day in September and Free Week usually in January. Also, here's a link I found on reddit that allows you to sort what is going on around town - https://pushgig.com/ So, here's what I saw... Alma Muneca - Empire Control Room - Spanish-language electronic/dance/post-punk music. Singer is a smoke show... vocals were OK but the backing band (two guys on synth and a drummer) were excellent. I think they are playing a show in two weeks with DAIISTAR (strong recommendation on DAIISTAR) Semihelix - The 13th Floor - Catchy indie rock trio. Good show and energy. Not a standout per se but I'd see them again. Daze - Mohawk (outside) - Shoegaze band from Houston. I love the wall of guitar sounds a shoegaze band can bring. Good show, great light show from the crew at Mohawk. Would see again. Geda - Mohawk (inside) - felt like a late 80s EBM show (Electronic Body Music, not Electronic Dance Music) with two silhouttes on stage with their synths playing in front of weird projected images. Liked it but you have to be a fan of the old EBM/Industrial scene to get it, I think. Subpar Snatch - The 13th Floor - finally got to see them. Great show! Amazing energy and fire from the band. Would absolutely go see them again. Prehuman - Chess Club - Caught the last bit of their set. Like Chess Club as a venue although it is small and always cramped. Anyway, they have more of an up-and-coming shoegaze sound. Seen them four times in various venues over the past year. Bartly - Marlow - We were mostly on the patio and at the bar so I didn't get a good feel. Great energy and talent but too many covers for me (I'm not a cover band person. Sorry) Cast of Thousands - Empire Control Room - Only caught a couple of songs. Indy rock. There's potential here but feels like they need more work bringing it all together. Just my opinion. J'cuuzi - Mohawk (outside) - Y'all... I went in with expectations of a freakish show and it absolutely delivered. Really don't know how to describe them. Here is how they describe themselves, "Avant-garde mutant pop performance group". Yup. Jane Leo - The 13th Floor - This was the third time we've seen Jane Leo. They've got a great infections 80's synth sound to me influenced by the likes of Berlin. They're always a solid show. Rococo Disco - Stubb's Indoors - Pleasant surprise. Good vibes and crowd with an R&B tinged party sound. Bands I wished I had seen but could not due to various reasons: Queen Serene - couldn't go Thursday. A band I'm always glad to catch. Shoegaze/rock-driven wall of sound. Almost hypnotic to me. A bit noisy. I love it. I did spot them in the audience at one show. Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band - Still have not seen them... hear great things about the live shows. Timing is always off for me. Daydream Twins - Heard they are a fantastic local shoegaze band Font - apparently they had to cancel so had to scratch them off the schedule Andrew Cashen and the Disciples of Creation - Great great live show. Caught them at the Drop in earlier in the summer Nuclear Daisies - more shoegaze. Apparently was a great show at Mohawk. Gus Baldwin and the Sketch - Punk/rock/lots of energy. One day... wife would not have been interested at all Mugger - Female-fronted punk band
  6. Replacing the lame-ass numbers with generic numbers is an upgrade.
  7. If the Democratic Party takes as leftward a turn as the Republican Party has taken rightward, I'm out, and that's what it sounds like many are advocating in this thread. I don't see leaning into the culture wars from a leftward perspective as easing the rancor in any way. I see it having the opposite effect. I kinda like the centrist D party of the 90s. It was actually probably the best governance of my lifetime at the federal level. It's ok, I am perfectly fine being politically homeless and not supporting either party until I see some people who are both moderate and effective at the helm of one or the other. There is certainly no moderation in the Republican Party, and there is no effectual strategy within the Democratic Party, so... But hey, I can be won back by either side. That's the beauty of being a centrist. I really don't give a shit if you have an R or a D by your name. Convince me you are part of the solution vs part of the problem and you can have my vote. Or don't, and you'll have to find somewhere else to get my +1.
  8. This "deal" is (1) never being approved by the EU, and (2) will be unilaterally changed by Trump on a whim within a couple of months.
  9. The obvious answer here is, Parker the Jaggernaut. My god this board well be glorious if he does have a break-out season.
  10. " if you look at the historic record, having sex with 11-13yr olds was acceptable to our founding fathers therefore is any of this even really even a crime?" Sincerely, 6-3 SCOTUS
  11. I went and saw Carrie when I was 8 and was scarred for years. However, I saw My Bloody Valentine when I was 12 and thought it was ridiculous. I miss being able to actually sneak into movies.
  12. autophagy is a known process that occurs when your body is deprived of calories for a sustained period of time. localized autophagy also occurs with exercise and sleep but it's not as systemic as when fasting. the basic jist of it is your body has an innate order of how it produces energy. that order is something like this: - glucose from your most recent meal - glycogen (excess calories from your recent meals) - glucose derived from glycerol (fat) and ketones created by the liver from fatty acids - autophagy begins while in ketosis - primarily provides amino acids so your muscle mass is preserved with that process you have a source of energy and amino acids. but how does your body provide amino acids without food or breaking down your muscle mass? autophagy is the process where by your body targets damaged cells to recycle their component parts for reuse in order to perserve the parts of the body that are functioning properly. worn out immune system cells are destroyed, lining in the gut is recycled, and there are other parts of the body that are part of this process. If you are in autophagy long enough, precancerous cells can be the target. If you go into autophagy deep enough, then gut and immune system stem cells start to activate and prepare for when you do have external nutrients (food) to then rebuild portions of your immune system, gut lining, etc. autophagy / fasting also triggers HGH and BDNF spikes which are hugely protective of the body and brain. it's totally a thing. for more info just google or ask chatgpt to tell you about the metabolic benefits of fasting for 72 hours, including the timeline and benefits for autophagy, increase in HGH and BDNF or something like that.
  13. I think the bread is ok, but I would have hollowed out the top piece and doubled the beef. But I’m an unabashed carnivore.
  14. No you don’t. This is the senior league team, no one watches or cares about that. A Little League team from Venezuela is still coming to the LLWS in Williamsport in August. Cardenales LL from Barquisimeto won the Latin American regional. Try not to fall for rage bait.
  15. Factually incorrect and fucking enraging. She literally brought girls in and took part in raping them.
  16. Honestly, "hey tell everyone I'm innocent and I'll order the SCOTUS to set you free" is a hell of a move. It shouldn't be possible in a functioning democracy, but we all know how this will turn out. The only ones with blood on their hands will be the one branch that doesn't have to face the voters.
  17. its too bad it took trading him for him to get his ass in gear.
  18. We all got it, and it raised eye brows that a govt agency was practically lying about a law. Of course if anyone in the fed govt complains, they will be out of a job. Very scary how govt employees now need to be 100% loyal to the President if they want to retain their job. There's too many MAGA spies in the govt now looking to fire people.
  19. when was the last time a first place team traded their ace in the middle of a pennant race ?
