  1. Do you have and are competent with a multimeter? Do you know how to solder? Are there any clearly burnt out components you can see? It could be as simple as a blown fuse that can be eyeballed and doesn’t require solder, up to a cratered ASIC that’s almost impossible to replace…or even find. I hate tossing out good shit in this ‘everything is disposable’ word we live in…but without model number (have you googled the mode number + failure mode to see if it’s a common issue) and details, doubt anyone can answer that.
  2. Indeed it is, and often 2-3x per night.
  3. Wait…who is arguing brexit was anything but distilled dumbassery?
  4. Fair enough but it’s downtown, near Emmer and Rye with a Royal Blue nearby, and I like the beds. We just don’t go to bars on Rainey anymore, which sucks because I loved me a Long Hair Don’t Care outside in the afternoon at Lustre Pearl way back. Was able to snag a room for $220/night in February, which has sadly become the exception lately.
  5. My wife is a hotel snob, it’s a nice place with an overall nice location and we stayed there in Feb as they had on offer cheaper than our usual downtown mainstays like Fairmont, Hyatt Regency, the W, The Line, etc.
  6. As long as Emmer and Rye gets to move first, I’m ok with this. The last couple times we’ve stayed at Van Zandt for getaways, I don’t think we’ve even ventured around the corner to hit any of those bars…just too bro-crowded
  7. I can’t even listen to NPR anymore because I sit there arguing with the radio anytime I hear a GOP or man on the street arguing how this is a political witch hunt or some education bill to put the Ten Commandments on walls or the bill to let preachers teach or…
  8. Man, you know I like and appreciate you…your legal opinions are valued, I appreciate your efforts at realistic neutrality and you absolutely helped me at a time when I was really struggling…hell I’ve said I want you with me at parties so I can pull a Billy from Moneyball where I point at you and snap my fingers like he did to Pete so I can get an instant rational take. However this part here I feel like you’re wasting your brain cells. There’s 40% of this country that will deny, attack and spew self-righteous outrage at any attempt to portray this ‘man’ as anything but sent from god himself to reign as a holy warrior. Regardless of priority I feel it’s necessary to prosecute his crimes as the case is ready. Tiptoeing around for fear of upsetting his base is how we got Jan 6. Even if both his impeachments were failures, we need them on the historical record.
  9. The biggest surprise is that any of you are surprised by that.
  10. What about jet pack guy? Could he be a spy too?
  11. His character in Idiocracy was awesome actually…realized he wasn’t an expert in the problem, brought in outside help, and actually followed his directive. No Fauci-esque bullshit
  12. This show really does sound design well, up there with Stranger Things and The Wire…though part of what I enjoyed about The Wire was that the music was almost all organic in that it came from car stereos, boomboxes, etc and not some generic music montage. Lasso does a great job with music montages. Playing prisencolinensinainciusol was an outstanding choice to convey the sense of moving the story forward in an efficient way with a driving beat that never really builds to a crescendo. Breaking Bad was another show that did this well, dusting off tier-2 hits or custom instrumentals to fast forward at an engaging pace. I love shows that have me googling during an episode to find a song I need on my playlist.
  13. Well we know APD won’t solve it. They couldn’t even connect the dots when the same dude kept calling in and showing up to Rockgate.
  14. “But I’ve hit 9 home runs today, skip” And oblig:
  15. Jesus fuck…I’m a Poke, often a ‘sky is falling’ one at that…and even I cringed at this shit.
  16. Based on reading comments at r/conservative and elsewhere, for kicks, I’m going to add to my dictionary of terms that immediately apply a Closeted MAGAt flag: “this is going to backfire because of xyz”. Joins other such illustrious entries as “I didn’t vote for Trump but”, “both sides”, “all politicians do it”, “do your research” and “I don’t believe in conspiracies but”
  17. Regardless whether we get the real answer or not…can countries maybe crack down on selling wild animals at markets, especially commingled with food items? Or being sold as food? Bushmeat in general is such a vector for disease, but I can sorta sympathize if you’re Starvin Marvin…but selling ‘raccoon dogs’ or other shit, especially just because you believe it’ll make your dick hard or have magical powers, in an open market is asinine.
  18. No surprise on Frank Drebin’s views
