  1. You might also want to alert the coaches.
  2. This is a tough one. He had the most sincere voice in rock and roll. Lucky to have seen him a few times during his renaissance. He still put on a great show. I know what I’ll be listening to all weekend. Thanks for giving us all you had, Roky.

  4. Unfortunately that didn’t pass. The language allowing 10 am sales was amended onto the TABC sunset bill on the House floor. It was removed by the Senate and didn’t make it into the conference committee report.
  5. The beer to go bill never made it out of committee. It was amended onto the TABC sunset bill on the floor of the House. The Senate then lowered the amount one can buy from 2 cases to 1 case. What passed today was the conference committee report that reconciled the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.

    Vinyl

    Anyone have any experience with record cleaning machines? Amazon has an ultrasonic cleaner, for under $700, that can clean 5 records at a time. A lot of other ultrasonic cleaners go for over $4000.
  7. I agree with you and would have done the same thing. But when a group of folks show up in the middle of the night to a house looking to fight the homeowner's son and vandalize his house, getting shot and killed is a real possibility.
  8. Again, why should he be responsible for guessing their intent? Did he know they only had paintball guns and that the would be combatants would follow the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. I fully admit that I don’t know all the facts and my stance is informed by the initial article. It sounds like the father has been detained, and it’s a different situation shooting at a fleeing vehicle.
  9. Why is it the Dad’s responsibility to guess the mob’s intent?
  10. Whatever instrument you choose, I’d suggest taking a few months of lessons to build a solid foundation. Learning the basic chords, the major scale and how the notes relate to each other within the major scale will make it so much easier and faster to develop and will ultimately make you a better player. Playing scales and all the basic stuff is admittedly boring but it’s good to get it out of the way when you’re a beginner.
  11. This shit fucking sucks. I've resigned myself to hoping that CDC has done a thorough evaluation of the program and has come to the conclusion that Shaka is the best person to lead team. It's a thin thread of hope, but it's all I got.
  12. Why not both? Making a lot of money doesn’t mean you have a lot of money. I’d guess he makes a solid low to mid six figure income but hasn’t accumulated any real wealth cause he blows his money on stupid shit...like a lot of other folks. Or not. Maybe he’s a cheap fat fuck who’s lives his best life in a sea of strip malls and all you can eat buffets and has saved 50% of his post tax earnings for the past 15 years.
  13. El Paso. Can’t remember her name but she’s no longer in the Legislature.
  14. Not trying to trivialize the death, but does anyone really think people wouldn’t die at an ATV amusement park? People die on ATVs; of course there’s gonna be fatalities at an ATV amusement park.
  15. Good for you. I’ll echo my previous advice from last year’s thread. Will power is a muscle, so don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on too much at once. Tackle one or two new habits at a time and build from there. Maybe start walking a few days a week and cutting back on soft drinks. etc etc.

    Nirvana

    Yeah that scene had been bubbling for years, but Nirvana opened the floodgates. Alice in Chains, didn't kick that door down, Soundgarden didn't kick it down. Jane's Addiction didn't. The Pixies didn't. Of course, the reason Nirvana had the cultural impact they did is there were a ton of great bands right there with them; it was never just Nirvana. Like you said, pop culture was primed for a change. Nirvana was the spark, and all those other bands brought a hell of a lot of fuel to the explosion that followed. How old are you? I was 16 when teen spirit caught fire in the fall of 91. So my perspective is as a high schooler in the Houston suburbs. Interested to see how your age and place informs your perspective.

    Nirvana

    Class of 93 here. That's the thing about Nirvana, regardless of what you think about their music, they immediately and throughly killed an entire subgenre of rock and ushered in a completely new sound and look for kids. They weren't the first Seattle band I heard, Alice and Chains was getting airplay during the summer of 91 and I first saw Soundgarden when the opened for GnR, but no other band from that era can match their impact on mainstream pop culture.
  18. In his four years here, I’ve seen nothing from Shaka that shows he even has an offensive philosophy.
  19. The value of a grad transfer is they are immediately eligible and can be short term, plug and play solutions like Alex Anderson and Tre Watson. Depending on the team's needs and roster that can either increase or decrease their value.

    Sonos thread

    Got a pair of Sonos 1s just before Christmas. They're pretty cool for what they are, and I'm happy with them. But over the past week, I started having an issue when playing songs off Tidal: halfway through the song, it jumps to the next one. It plays fine when I'm playing songs on my phone, though (iPhone XS with a bunch of music on it). My Sonos and Tidal apps are updated. Any suggestions other than wait for an update that hopefully fixes it?
  21. Legitimately your best post on surly
  22. Not disagreeing with you, but the guaranteed way to ensure that our fans continue not caring about basketball is to keep Shaka smart. Winning is the only thing that will make fans give a damn, and it doesn't look like Shaka is the guy to make that happen.
  23. But what do you think TH wants to do ?
  24. What a fucking dumbass. The move to usc made no sense, and now Kilff, who was 35-40 at Tech, may pay his own buyout for NFL head coaching interviews.
