  1. If you’ve never viewed any of the Crash Course series, they are really great. I always mean to use those in an annual resolution, or just start chunking through them until I’ve watched them all. This computer science one is particularly great for “non-technical” folks working in tech or tech adjacent roles. https://thecrashcourse.com/courses/
  2. Moved the strap up from the base of the headstock to between the 1st and 2nd set of tuners. The balance is a bit better for me.
  3. I hope she plays tot to go.
  4. I’ve started doing this and I think it might be the equivalent of an old man hiking his pants up to his nipples
  5. Exactly, which of part of the insanity of the idea that PBS is somehow harmful to poor people. It’s a free public benefit, it is the least biased source of reporting, it is arguably the only free educational media where your child is not the product. I don’t see why HBO or Netflix or whoever can’t do Frontline, and I guess they make some similar content, but PBS does that thing better than anyone and the lack of a profit incentive is surely part of it. It’s important and it is good, unless your definition of good has been so heavily corrupted that you put child rapist stickers on your car or you espouse libertarianism as if it comes from a moral high ground. Let’s tear down the libraries too. And of course the schools and universities, which is the plan. Welcome to Costco, I love you.
  6. If Ana listens to KUT in the car alone, does him explaining how much smarter he is than other people even make a sound?
  7. PBS kids is the kinda one refuge of “if you need to pull the screen lever, at least it’s safe”. We really don’t iPad except on planes or long car trips, but we uninstalled YouTube - you get them set up with whatever innocuous thing and then 2 seconds later who knows. On PBS Kids you can at least buy 20 minutes without someone trying to sell your 2 year old corn syrup.
  8. Exactly. It’s a whole philosophy.
  9. It’s almost as if capitalism run amok in the media and the church has created an environment where millions of people look to an atheist rapist of children to learn what Jesus wants them to do. But at this point sure let’s do this and continue free marketing the schools, get real weird with it.
  10. because the idea that free markets bring the best solution or even a solution to every problem is fantastical silliness. the government has a role in promoting the public good.
  11. Victories like this make it easy to forget that you voted for a child rapist.
  12. \m/ just popping in for Correa excitement
  13. Jesus Christian or American Christian?
  14. Finally realized what the gen z haircut reminds me of
  15. I would also imagine that the work required to route and install blocks or remove and replace blocks on a neck would be more expensive than just getting the neck you’re looking for, but I haven’t done the research
  16. this is pretty good and all but you didn't hear me tear this up as a 15 year old. made first band
  17. Wegmans is open today. And Harris Teeter, goddammit I miss HEB
  18. If I wasn’t paying particularly close attention to the lyrics and the song was decontextualized and you told me that Down Under was a Christmas song from an Americana Christmas album I’d nod and accept that as true.
  19. I’m not 100% that I’m not mixing concerts together but I could swear I saw TOP with BB King and Jimmie Vaughan (and Indigenous) at the Arena in Houston in the late 90s. I was a kid going to a concert with my dad so of course it was incredible but I remember it being incredible.
  20. I tried out of the Cadets of Bergen County in like.... 2002, 2003 maybe (I got offered alternate for Cadets and membership for Crossmen, I ended up not doing it)? I can't remember if this was one of the songs we worked up at camp or whatever, but I wound up with the sheet music and, given a couple of days to get back into shape I think I could still rip the first part on my flugelhorn. I was in Jr High in the napster era. THPS and Blink 182 were already shaking me out of whatever mainstream nu-metal rap rock shit I was half into as a 13 year old MTV viewer and then I downloaded this album and it was game on i could go down the rabbit hole of every ska band I found my way towards, and I should go ahead and toss a Reel Big Fish song up.. but then this show was one that blew my 17 year old mind. I was excited to see the fucking Voodoo Glow Skulls at my own bands favorite venue to play at and oh yeah Rx Bandits that's cool too, and they were there with a totally different sound than their very very third wave stuff for good measure and why not
  21. Snipe Hunter is interesting. Definitely a different sound. I thought I hated it at first but I think I’m going to wind up sitting with it and coming around.
  22. A thing that stuck out to me at the end of season 3 this time was the “we found a body!” bit with Johnny OD’ing in Hamsterdam. The timeline is fuzzy on that whole thing but it was going for months? They would have had people dropping out every day starting in week 1. That’s how it would have fallen apart.
