Indeed. It is glorious. Very mellow, much like Taylor Swift’s voice on the song “tolerate it.”

Trying to get guitar porn thread back on track by: 1) I don’t think anyone believes that TS has an iconic or even “great” voice. That said, she is extremely effective at using it to do white girl tricks in conveying different tones in her songs. Her first two albums have a very nashvilly sound vocally, 1989 is the definition of teeny bopper, while reputation is quite strong in conveying bitterness and anger, and then a very mellow and pretty sound for folklore/evermore. Creating those different album feels is not as easy as she makes it look, despite the fact that she’s not a technical or pitch perfect iconic voice. But at the end of the day, the chick can write some fucking hits and is a very good instinctual musician. She’s also quite smart in her collaborative choices. While being an attractive white girl may have given her a “leg” up in the beginning, her talent and songwriting is plenty organic is is ultimately undeniable. The stadiums of 90,000 people singing along every word for THREE AND A HALF fuckkng hours in every city around the world out front should have told you and I’d sell all of your guitar collections combined in a heartbeat to have 25% of that ability. She’s been wildly oversaturated for the last five years so I get the pushback and it’s time for something different but she’s an all time songwriter and a very talented musician and it’s silly to say otherwise. 2) thanks to consulting you guys, I didn’t do something idiotic and drill a hole in the Martin. Got a really nice strap from them to connect to the neck and it’s working out great so thanks to all for stopping me from doing stupid things.

you know, sometimes paul...sometimes...you make me feel like a narcissist because i read your posts and i can't help but think you are talking about me. she's obviously great as a collaborator, can write a hit like very few people have ever done, has some really good songs, and is a force of nature in terms of being prolific and the magnitude of her tours. deej is obviously way off base saying her isolated vocals are bad as he's just being a hater. that's insane. i have stem split about 40 of her songs for my girls to study...her vocals are incredibly good at connoting different emotions of songs. she's not adele, whitney houston, or maria callas but she's a plenty good singer to go along with songwriting ability. that said, i sent my wife and older daughter to one of the shows in houston and my wife and younger daughter to one of the shows in new orleans and in retrospect, i probably would have rather used that same amount of money to buy out the entire town of tremezzo and build a house on lake como. lifetime memories for them though. and they both have that shirt.

god damn, do you ever do anything on this board besides follow this same little routine of yours? jesus christ what a fucking whiny bitch you are. just jump to your fucking obvious grievances next time and save us all the time of reading your dumbfuck posts trying to construct your strawman so you can finally say TDS and imply feigned superiority. "rampant TDS" gives away the game skipper...even if you try to do a rex and say "he's a buffoon and i don't give a shit what that idiot says." anyone that actually feels that way would never use an absolutely idiotic term like "rampant TDS." next time, just go eat another 50 donuts or some shit.

It’s actually not available. Even when the expense was put forth. I was significantly involved in litigation between Antero and a French company called Veolia that spent a quarter billion building a “state of the art” facility in West Virginia called Clearwater to try and clean up all the saltwater typically disposed in disposal wells in Marcellus. The idea was to stop injecting and instead create river quality water. They spent a ton of money and then spent a ton more money…and then a ton more trying to make it work. It ultimately led to them just having to buy up the global supply of fly ash because the shit didn’t work. And even then they had to transport all the radioactive shit coming off the water (to Texas by the way). they put the money in, hired the global leading firm to build it for them, and it did not even come close to working. we are still not able to technologically achieve the processing of SWD water into river quality water. This bill is utterly fucking insane and will absolute make some lawyers rich after some people die. edit: if you want to read about it, long story here (as someone more than intimately familiar with the facts and issues of the case, I’d say this article gets it about 95% right which isn’t bad for these type of advocacy websites): https://www.desmog.com/2023/09/19/radioactive-fracking-waste-west-virginia-veolia-antero-clearwater/

Kind of a short presentation. we’re gonna have to upgrade tariffs on all the Chinese fireworks even more to get this American manufacturer a level playing field. -

i completely see what he's saying and the observation of the flight seems consistent with that but i just can't get my head around a fucking pilot mistaking the flaps control for the landing gear control. here, i've drawn it out. this is what a landing gear control lever looks like in a 787: here is what a flaps control lever looks like in a 787: shit, sorry, didn't jump to page 4 and see that someone already pointed out how insane that would be.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread

do you ever just stop and say "damn, i am such a fucking useful idiot for parroting easily verified bullshit constantly and i should probably reflect on my decisions in life?" -
fwiw, the survivor stated that there was a "loud noise" that preceded the crash.
-
sounds like a fun ride for those folks...

i just don't understand how an inadvertent flap retraction occurs unless a bug in the electronics causes it in an automated way or unless the pilot is severely drunk. The controls in a 787-8 cockpit are pretty fucking clear.
