  1. If he’s looking for playlist recco’s you may try the Astros or Texans threads
  2. Stating the obvious out loud that I am certain jimmy&co are cognizant of but don’t let the teenager have access to the bottle. Hot commodity.
  3. I never interact directly with that site or their content really, sounds like I’m not missing much just trying to shake something loose creatively outside of “have a thujone type strike gold here repeatedly for free”. I wonder if there are any opportunities for… high engagement discussion stuff around NIL that aren’t already being done or being done well elsewhere in the college fb internet. A Texas board would be a natural hub for that given our rightful place at the top of the gold pile.
  4. Is barstool pretty much the example of a shag demo sports internet thing thriving? What all do they do?
  5. People getting apoplectic about folks wearing masks in the car is still the funniest shit to me. They were probably just somewhere that needed a mask. Or they are constantly going in and out. Not everyone has wake apnea and needs to rip that fucker off like a WWI era gas mask once they get outside. this shit sucks though. The level of sick isn’t terrible but it is lasting forever.
  6. yes, I'm aware - I know every lyric of that song. my comment about how dudes are stupid is that it was a Jason Isbell lyric posted as a comment on an Amanda Shires' video of a song about or relating to her emotional state in the wake of the announcement of her divorce from Jason Isbell. Not that I think she's probably reading every random comment on her video. But if she was, Isbell lyrics probably aren't the thing. Honestly I feel for her a bit - I'm sure it was a struggle in their marriage anyways but there's probably a lot of fear of how she will be seen/understood/talked about as an artist post divorce from Isbell. Has she damned herself to being primarily the ex-wife of a more talented musician and songwriter?
  7. Yeah but with a strongly feminist yet girthily gentle dick, not with her ex husband’s song lyrics like an alpha
  8. Oh here’s a guy exploring sweetened tunings with his PRSears
  9. That video is less informative than I thought it would be, but yeah it’s like little temperament settings for electric, acoustic, maybe if you have the guitar tuned down, etc to adjust for the inherent problems with a fretted string instrument.
  10. Well, I firmly believe that the difference between +\- 1 cent and +\-0.1 cents in a tuner is noticeable and important, and I also really like strobe tuners. Even if they are fidgety, I like how quickly the reading updates and that it is displayed in a more analog form. I’m specifically tired of sitting on one side of my office and deciding which side of the theoretical 1 cent the G string is sitting on. Anyways, not everyone feels the same way and if, for example, you went looking for opinions from the teenagers on Reddit you’d probably find that a little korg is all you need. But my starting point for “not a cheap clip on” is high accuracy strobe. This is my third physical Peterson and I also have the tuner app, which was a good deal at $20 or whatever a decade ago. I had a handheld unit before they even made the stomp box, I bought the original strobostomp and gigged with it bouncing around in my case for years until the plastic jacks physically broke. And then I bought a turbo tuner (https://www.turbo-tuner.com) because… the internet liked them and I think maybe Peterson briefly didn’t make a stomp pedal. It is fast and accurate but kinda low tech display and it is difficult to read in direct sunlight. Given the cost of the various higher end tuning pedals ($100 for the veritable boss), I would definitely recommend Peterson. It seemed like the cheaper/smaller footprint version of the pedal was only missing some of the extended “sweetened tuning” library type features in comparison with the full size box, and it is $120. Obviously I haven’t had this one long enough to speak to durability, but it seems solid. I’m trying the guitar sweetened tuning, which I’ve never done but I’ll see how I feel. I do like that this tuner lets you change the accidentals - every tuner displays sharps and finally I have one showing me Eb. I think the…. Poly tuner and the canvas tuner are other boxes to look at. And the boss, to be fair. This one is a silly gold anniversary edition btw, pretty much identical to the HD version. One of the guitars I’m getting cleaned up is my PRS. Which is also the most stable and surgical guitar I have - I’m going to play with the temperament settings a little bit when I get it back and see what I think.
  11. needed a new tuner cause I'm not taking the turbotuner off of my pedalboard and I'm tired of fucking around with snarks and the crappy spark tuning app to get it dialed in on the other side. I still have such a band geek soft spot for peterson. i also dropped off a bunch of my guitars to get worked on and they're ready to be picked up. but we have covid and it's making things difficult to go pick them up. i want to play with them.
  12. The toddler did get sidelined from preschool through next week, which sucks but que sera.
  13. I got a mandate from work in order to be on site, but that was the only one. That’s not a thing that they are doing any longer. Is there starting to be more discussion about employer vaccine mandates?
  14. it is wild how people have been able to consistently stick with some version of “people getting worried over nothing!” as a covid stance through the whole damn thing
  15. They’re too busy listening to Beach Boys songs. Like California Dreaming.
  16. Speaking of country artists I would bang, does Musgraves belong in this thread? New album 3/15. Beautiful art design.
  17. I don’t want to do the thing where I’m looking for problems with the woman instead of my dude. But she has always had this crazy anxious energy anywhere I’ve seen her speak. For me, sobriety could almost be *mostly* defined as a systematic effort to reduce anxiety in my life. on the flip, in that documentary when Isbell got into that weird lyrics argument with her, it reminded me of Jay Bennet being the world’s most difficult asshole about Heavy Metal Drummer in I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.
  18. If we don’t got Mojo Nixon then our world could use some fixin.
  19. Yeah he said “someone younger than my mom” and I was like “I dunno man”
  20. I wonder how they vet the families- they are all great as far as I remember. It’s an important part of the character of the show, which hits the mark of rooting for and laughing with, and not something negative.
