    in 2020 i started having intermittent bouts of afib that correlated with instances of high alcohol usage😐

    A good friend of mine started experiencing this a few years back (in his late 50s) typically after drinking even if not that much. After weighing the pros/cons of meds vs. ablation he went with the ablation surgery. It has been ~3 years now and all good- no issues since the procedure.

    Enjoying Loudermilk.

    Holy shit that show's openings are hilarious. I watched it a while back when it was included in the Amazon Prime Video lineup... pretty damn funny.

    I heard he fucked an ostrich.

    I believe it was horse beastiality? Someone on ShaggyBevo posted links to a beastility message board that had a bunch of posts about sex w/horses that were all signed "Bernard" the same way he did it here. They were creepily detailed. 

  4. Summer between 9th-10th grade in Houston with full heat+humidity in an unairconditioned warehouse- working manual presses in gutter factory, bending sheet metal into drip-edge forms and gutter all day up until the day Football 2-a-days started. What a beating. That said, I needed $$ and it provided. 

    Sophomore year at Texas Tech I worked as a night stocker at Albertsons (4th/Slide), 10pm-7am four nights a week. After that I'd go to class from 8am-3pm, get home, study, sleep, then back to work.

    Those were the "worst" jobs I've had, and I have plenty of entertaining stories from each, but overall they contributed to my appreciation of how fucking easy I've had it since then. Good times.

    When it gets stretched out too much I reach in my desk drawer and get a fresh new one.  Been just fine for the last 20 years or so.

    Same for me the last ~20 years and it'll probably be that way until the end. Prior to that I used a more traditional money clip, and before that a bi-fold.

    Another recommendation for Blue Eye Samurai. Easily binged in one sitting.

    Props to everyone who recommended this one. It's not a genre I would've given a look otherwise and it has been very good (have watched 1-5 so far).

    Maybe this is explained but the opening title sequence, three escape pods seem to get away from the main ship but one is burned up and destroyed during the descent. Two “survive.” On the planet, we get the chick and the android, the botanist/Agro chick and the pilot/commander and then the “company” man who has gone mad and is being manipulated by the black-and-white thingys. So there are three different groups from Demeter there but appears only two pods survived the descent.

     

     

    We end up seeing at least 7 pods on the planet in the first handful of episodes.

    Spoiler

    3 at the botanist/pilot camp

    1 where they grab the fresh battery down in the cave

    1 at Azi  & Levi's camp

    1 in a tree (where a-hole is trapped)

    1 where they find all the dead folks and bury them

    Really enjoyed the series. Hadn't heard about it until recently when a coworker mentioned it.

  8. I have a 2010 Tacoma- crew cab 4wd. Interior is pretty basic, so I'd pass if that's a big factor (sounds like it is for you). Otherwise it has been a fantastic and reliable truck. I only drive ~1k miles a year so interior features don't matter much for me, and I enjoy not giving a shit about dings, scrapes, etc. 

  9. I've been familiar with Doug Sahm for a while and occasionally ascend the hill named in his honor next to the Palmer; however, Sun Volt recently released an album covering a bunch of his tunes and it has renewed/increased my appreciation for ol' Doug. The Son Volt album starts and ends with old answering machine messages from Doug- it's a fantastic tribute. 

    Anyway- let 'er rip!

     

     

    And the Son Volt cover I've had on repeat for a bit (went to their show in August)

    Watching on Hulu. The weather is amazing in Dallas. I’m sure it’s awesome there too. Wife was aware of Michigander and we watched that while we were making lunch. Dope Lemon is on now — knew nothing about them. Dumb band name but kind of enjoying their vibe. Hope The Walkmen do wind up on one of the channels. I’d also like to see The Breeders.

    The Walkmen sounded good- reminded me of the The Strokes- hopefully I don't sound like an asshole for making that comparison but my sample size is small. Went to The Breeders after that... turned around to check the crowd and a friend I hadn't seen in 12+ years was standing right behind me- super awesome.

  11. Saturday is always the most overloaded with people. I walked out into GenPop for a few songs during Alanis' show (after all, I'm a man of the people), and it was surprisingly easy/fun and not annoying. 

    It's f'ing gorgeous out here today. Michigander was surprisingly good/fun and Grace Sorensen has been good/chill so far.

    I'll be curious to hear your review. Not 100% how it will translate to 3:15 in the afternoon.

    I'm not familiar with them at all beyond having heard the name, so I don't have any expectations. Either way the weather and people watching will be top notch.

    The Walkmen show was fantastic. If they’re coming to your town, go see them. They’re at Stubb’s tomorrow and ACL on Sunday.

    That's great to hear- I'm planning to attend their ACL show today (haven't seen them before).

    Yesterday reminded me why I stopped attending the festival 10 years ago. Just way too many people to be enjoyable.

    Kingfish Ingram- fun set, good to see some blues in the acl lineup
    Shaed- the singer had a great voice and the songs were catchy. Not normally into this style of pop but they were good.
    Alanis- she sounded great and everyone sang along to every song.
    Tove Lo- she had a band so points for that. Thought it was fine.
    Foo Fighters- they were the foo fighters.
     

     

    I'd never been to an Alanis show before and wasn't expecting a whole lot, so it was a nice surprise that she sounded great- fun show.

    This is my 19th year to attend, and your timeline of ~10 years ago certainly feels similar as far as the overcrowding goes- or maybe that's when I just got too old 😉. The last few years I've been doing VIP and it has made it a much easier experience overall. After FF last night I hung back and hit the bar for a couple more drinks while the crowd cleared out, and even then it was still quite a mob scene exiting a while after the shows had ended. The weather this year has been a great bonus. I'm heading back soon for day 3- good times.
