    No shit.  WTF is she freaking out about?  That there's brown person near her?

    Is that a tape measure she's flinging about?  Did she just realize she's 32-30-32?

    pussy gillette- power trio. entertaining for a few songs but then you realize every song sounds the exact same. lead singer's schtick also got a bit tiresome.

    Agreed.  I've seen them a few times and while they're hardly bad it's not exactly ground-breaking or captivating over a full set.

  3. I like that one official's solution -- let those running camps warn their counterparts downstream that waters are going to rise.

    Well, except for the fact that one camp has to be first and gets no warning.  You know, like Camp Mystic.

    Great solution there.

    Page 14, there's a guy saying if you take this money and aren't in compliance the federal government will take their homes and make them get Covid vaccines. 

    We really need to address mental health issues in this country. 

    It's not a mental health issue per se.  Most people aren't mentally ill.  It's mostly a function of a large swath of the population that is poorly educated and easily manipulated by bad actors.  This is what happens when every adult gets a vote -- those votes can be manipulated.  Maybe the left could try a little manipulation now that it's too fucking late?

    I think the advantage of the "Joe" versus the Kettle is the former's being shorter and leading to a natural chimney-draft.

    I might not have been clear -- I was thinking of a ground level "Joe" feeding a "kettle" at normal height.  So yes, veritcal draft.

    An endorsement far more credible than mine:  Ian Mclagan walked into a session and saw a pair of 421 at 90 degrees on a Leslie.  He lit up and turned to engineer.  "Finally!  An engineer who knows how to mic a B3!"

    Heh.  I had the chance to record him once, and I asked him what other engineers had used on his Leslie.  "Oh, just cram a couple of mics up there."  So I used 57s.

    I guess they sold out.  There were only a few left, and I posted it here as soon as I saw it  

    They were $139, which is crazy cheap.  

    I might call and try to finagle that pricing.  What do you use them for, toms?

  8. Just to keep everyone on the same page regarding Noem:  she is accused of slow-playing FEMA response, not Federal response (some of which she has no control over).  She's crowing about Coast Guard, etc. being there quickly, which is true, but FEMA has a different role in these disasters and she absolutely handcuffed their ability to respond by (a) instituting policy that she has to approve all responses above $100K and (b) waiting almost 3 days to do so for these floods.

    I don't expect any "journalists" to actually push back with facts.

    But I assume that since San Antonio is less than half the distance than Austin, they must of sent their entire FD to  successfully save Kerville at 4am and that that is why San Antonio FD is not run by incompetent DEI.  Correct?

    In an interesting twist:
