  1. I got to hear him a couple of years ago during the playoffs, Brewers vs Padres (?) Anyway, in the previous game, Manny Machado got away with a dirty side that wasn't called, and that day's game was on Halloween. Which spawned this commentary at one point: loud booos coming in over the broadcast Next batter up to the plate. Not gonna tell you who it is. ... We've got forty thousand ghosts here in the stadium!
  2. 2025 getting off to a great start 😡
  3. cut this guy's head open and check for cte
  4. i didn't, but i probably should have, might neg later if you're a Texas fan and aren't rooting against notre dame you are missing the big picture you do NOT want to live in an era where the Yankees of CFB are successful in football nobody gives a goddamn fuck if the playoffs are "successful" this year, and anyone who says so is full of shit
  5. does Deion even care right now? He's getting his kid drafted; now he's looking to go to the NFL, it seems
  6. (For the record, I know who the other two guys are, too.)
  7. but is a head of lettuce really appropriate? I'm thinking raw fish instead
  8. Who's that asshole next to Cosby?
  9. how bad did he fuck up because this must be epic levels of fuckup truly epic i mean when even atm passes on a guy?
  10. Nope. Even the Seattle Times is reporting it, now. Either this a rumor that's gotten out of hand, or he really did fuckup that fast.
  11. or, learn multiple ways to do things, then switch between them based on what's best in context
  12. I'm here for the dirt.
  13. I mean, those aren't just laser pointers though, are they? They got other things attached n stuff
  14. you know that people still play violin, right?
  15. when's the last time anyone used a laser pointer for anything other than as a cat toy
  16. I'm too old for the real thing. Feel literally ill the next day. So I gotta do what I gotta do.
  17. Absolutely nothing!
  18. I get the feeling that nextdoor features all of the worst things about going to daily HOA meetings with none of the good.
  19. what interesting timing to see this thread pop up just now... saw this while driving my son around, and we think we may have just found his first car... ... taking it to the mechanic for a pre sale inspection, and heck... a 2007 with 135k miles for $7k? just a wee bit of a dent there? shit yeah
  20. Now you're making me realize that I want to do that exercise, too. And not just on the E/B strings, but on the B/G strings, too. Maybe especially on those strings...
  21. literally just googled it it's called a double stop because you're stopping, i.e. pushing a finger down, on two strings... vs having one or both strings open And yeah, dunno why, but it feels like it makes more sense on fretless strings like the violin than it does on guitar for some reason.
  22. I know we called em that back when I was learning the cello, and I think it made more sense to call them that on that instrument than on the guitar. A double stop is really just two chicks at the same time. I mean notes. Two notes at the same time. What I like about playing thirds that way is that there's a lot of benefits. One, you're learning the relationships between notes in the scale, not just the scale. Two, you're building new skill in your fingers that you can then use whenever you want to; being able to play thirds and shift between major and minor thirds, and at the right points in the scale, is going to help you be better all around.
