  1. Where is Thanos when you need him?
  2. How did he arrive at Trevor Goosby getting an 81.32 for TAMU? Like, what algorithm or formula is used to arrive at that number given some sort of input?
  3. Anyone have any experience with Rivolta guitars? Strongly considering one of their baritones. 28" scale length, typically strung with 13-68 and tuned from B standard to drop G1.
  4. Except for 2005 in my lifetime?
  5. This is Beato's strong suit. Whatever shortcomings he has, he has enough knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to be a pretty good proxy interviewer for his following of musicians. Like, what guitarist wouldn't want to seriously geek out with Gilmour about how all those great sounds came about and were captured? Beato gives musicians the vicarious ability to talk shop with and pick the brain of the greats they never would have access to. I can appreciate that, even if I still have never made it through one of his videos, lol.
  6. I'd be curious how bandcamp works for you and what you do that might/might not work to get traffic there.
  7. Happy to support you guys when I get home.
  8. I have yet to finish let alone pay for a Rick Beato video. And I didn't need another influencer to keep me from it! Also, you really watched all 34 minutes of that? Fuck you, Dogs is worse than the worst song on Division Bell. Fight me!
  9. Lol, keep sucking on NoMad's epeen, loyal subscriber.
  10. I mean, if you enjoy influencer B attacking the more popular influencer A as infotainment for 34 minutes of your day, by all means, consume away. I just see it as both these dudes are trying to build a brand and following that they can profiteer from — whether they are paid directly by their audience or by advertisers looking to reach their audience. I say fuck em both. If $100 is so vast an amount of money that you have to legitimately forego groceries for the week after giving it to Rick Beato as influencer B uses to position his criticisms, holy shit, you shouldn’t be spending any time or money on either of these dudes. You should be spending it with Dave Ramsey to teach you how not to be a dumbass with money. And if you do have $100 to spend on improving your ability with a guitar, go pay for 2-4 private lessons with a local musician better than you. You’ll learn more, develop a connection if not a friend and help a local musician make a buck from their musical knowledge.
  11. Influencer diss tracks are weird.
  12. Nicole is franchising
  13. Sometimes the simulation entertains.
  14. No comment necessary. While more Americans have negative than positive views of both the Democratic and Republican parties, net favorability is higher for the Republican Party than for the Democratic Party (-17 vs. -26) Republican Party favorability has been higher than the Democratic Party's since soon after the 2024 election; for the seven years before then, the Democratic Party generally was viewed more favorably than the Republican Party https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/52988-donald-trump-job-approval-presidential-attributes-charlie-kirk-shooting-political-violence-political-parties-democratic-party-republican-party-jeffrey-epstein-immigration-september-12-15-2025-economist-yougov-poll
  15. Like multiplayer QWOP.
  16. If by ā€œpeopleā€ you mean all people inclusive of yourself and who you vote for, then I have no quibble with your post. I agree that violence begins when discussion ends, and I’d go further to say discussion ends when one party to the discussion simply wants to discuss the failures of the other (or if both parties only want to discuss the failures of the other, as the case may be).
  17. I think we all need to acknowledge and realize people all across the political spectrum are being radicalized and moved to action. A context has been established to where Americans are feeling abject terror from and seething anger towards fellow Americans, and Charlie Kirk’s death and this shooter’s ruined life are but the latest ramifications of that. They won’t be the last. We the people need to quit tuning into, liking, sharing and electing the architects of this context. It’s not limited to a side, because both sides are telling the truth about each other and lying about themselves — to themselves. Turn off the news, unsubscribe from those podcasts, shut down social media, get off the Internet (including Surly). Focus on connecting with and being kind to others in your proximal life — especially if they are different than you. If you want to change the world for the better, start there. It’s easier said than done, and I say it knowing I have been an imperfect adherent if not outright hypocrite in the past. But I’m trying.

    Gonna just put this right here…
  19. Well, he's cooked regardless. I mean, there is no way this goes unpunished with the death penalty. The only real question is going to be, does the retribution stop at the murderer directly responsible for Charlie Kirk's death?
  20. I dunno, I think that is Nicole's sock account.
