  1. Past hour
  2. ai sez: The words "gage" and "gauge" are often used interchangeably, but "gauge" is the more common and preferred spelling, especially in American English. Both words, when used as nouns, can refer to an instrument used for measurement or a standard by which something is measured. As verbs, they both mean to measure or estimate. While "gage" can be a variant spelling of "gauge," it also has some distinct, though often obsolete, meanings related to pledges and challenges, like a glove thrown down as a challenge in a duel.
  3. Yeah, it wasn't "great" but a fine Mortal Combat movie...this one is going over the top and I'm okay with that. Always here for Karl Urban.
  4. Yeah I'll be honest...I thought Ortega was a gonner for sure. And it was so random, like no buildup...i would have given the show a TON of credit to pull that off. Not because I don't like Ortega, she's fine, and sometimes a good part of the cast...but I would have LOVED for them to pull that trigger and shake up the show.
  5. Contrast this to how the secret service behaved when Reagan was shot.
  6. A Machine today … like many of his days.
  7. Anyone who watched that game and didn't come away with the impression that Texas completely dominated, physically whipped, and totally outclassed the ags on an athlete-by-athlete basis at pretty much every single position on the field, and only kept the ags sort of close by making several critical, boneheaded, self-inflicted mistakes, is kidding himself about what actually happened on the field that day. But it's the ags, and lying to themselves, and everyone else, is their very nature.
  8. Siap surprised this doesn’t happen more often and lol at Mike saying the technology is different over there: https://www.golfdigest.com/story/smylie-kaufman-nbc-announcer-hot-mic-f-bomb-british-open-championship-2025-royal-portrush

    My fave animated episodes of any Star Wars.

    Tron Ares

    Okay so we finally get to see the Tron World mix into the Real world(something I've been craving since I was kid with the original) This just seems like a really bad idea...bringing a sentient AI being to the real world, killing him, just for proof you can? And it looks really really good...seems like the "bad guy" is actually the good guy.
  11. Music geek mode activated. Everything is the same except the low E string, which is now D. So the chords affected are those with a root on the 6th string. Typically those are the E, G and A in guitar centric music, but the A can be easily rooted on the open 5th string so I just move that chord there, and I really only have to think about E and G if I want a chord rooted on the 6th string. So a single shape for major and a single shape for minor works for those chords: major minor So with just adding those two chord shapes, you can pretty much get by in drop-D with any song/progression. However, drop D tuning tends to really affect composition, too. The interval changed on barring the 5th and 6th string have gone from a 4th to a 5th. Which means you can just bar the lowest 3 strings and you have a power chord, which is easier to play than a power chord in standard tuning. So for composition, most things written in drop D take advantage of this. This gives a really big and heavy open D double power chord with a high 3rd: If you omit the highest note on the 1st string, you can play that double power chord anywhere on the neck and it will work in either a major or minor context. This ability to bar a power chord with the index finger on the 4th, 5th and 6th strings leaves you 3 fingers to make extensions or play melody with over the low power chord. This allows you to do things that would be very difficult in standard tuning. Like this barred F power chord on the 3rd fret -- the red box on the first 3 strings are easily accessible to your middle finger, ring finger and pinky and you can play whatever melodic lines you want up here at the same time you hold the power chord with the barred index finger. Now consider that you can slide that barred index finger power chord at appropriate intervals up and down the fretboard to play a chord progression while doing melodic things on the 1st/2nd/3rd string in that box at each stop, and you can probably imagine how this leads to a performance that's very different than if you were in standard tuning. Like, say you were playing G, C, D, G. You play those at the 5th, 10th, 12th and 5th frets with your index finger power chords vs the cowboy chords near the nut, and you are simultaneously doing melodic things in the red box at each stop with the rest of your fingers. A lot of things written in drop D use the open D power chord on the 4th/5th/6th string as a drone, almost like an Indian Raga, and you only use your fingers to play melody on the 1st and 2nd strings. You need to think about your D centric scale more horizontally than vertically with CAGED shapes. Experiment with that with a D Phrygian dominant scale played on the 5th and 6th strings and you will be making some wild, pseudo-middle eastern music.
  12. I like the QB middle screen where the OL lets the defense in and Arch passes to himself before running between the hashes.
  13. Or is a huge Coldplay fan... ...both tacos?
  14. Reminds me of este
  15. For the record, we have a 24-page thread about shaming pedophiles, yet I don't recall you ever posting in that one. Hell, this thread is 3 years old, and your first post here wasn't until Sunday. So, based on your lack of posting history about the topic, it seems that you didn't start giving a shit until very recently, for whatever reason.
  16. Pretty pretty good day
  17. Not surprised it pretty much stayed true to it's core story, and the only changes were basically the end and made sense.
  18. Rebooting the console seems to fix this problem.
  19. The pool I'm in, you pick 2 guys from the top 10 in the official world golf rankings, 2 from 11-20, and 3 from 21+. Total prize money won wins it. My picks- Scottie, Aberg ; Griffin, Hovland ; Fitzpatrick, Rahm, Day. All but Griffin playing the weekend. Edit, Day looks like he'll miss too. Both miss by a shot.
  20. Don’t tell Scotty, Scotty doesn’t know! 😆
  21. I finished it...I thought the final episode would have more closure, but it just sort of...ended. I'm interested to see where they take it.
  22. I am very limited in my “playing in drop d”…. range, but go learn - Cover Me Up Speed Trap Town Whitehouse Road and you’ll pretty much get it? There’s pretty much a new G and a new E and a lot of the same but you get that great low D. Play some Norwegian Wood.
  23. Getting real sick of your shit Wordle Wordle 1,490 5/6* ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛🟨⬛ ⬛🟩🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟨⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  24. The "knees over toes" dude got me into pulling the sled back. Really helped my minor knee pain. And it sucks. Generally things that suck are worth doing in the gym. Like that MF'ing assault bike....
