  1. it's actually three posts above your original question. the teleprompter appears to be in tact. at the end of the day, i wish everyone would cut it out with the q-anon level bullshit around this. it wasn't a pr stunt, people died, dipshit was truly in harm's way and regardless of whether it was a bullet graze or a some sort of shrapnel, it really doesn't matter. trump leveraging it and gqp dipshits pretending it's some politically motivated leftist plot to take him out are pathetic, but acting like conspiracy idiots on this just helps keep it in the cycle.
  2. what are some examples of the values that made us so god damn good to begin with that have been lost and what do you believe a vote for trump will do to help restore them?
  3. i am picturing the galaxy brains that were sitting around the computer editing this with a self-satisfied sense of "yep, this thing is done, how awesome is this? let's put it up." i have tried to think of something equally cringey as this unbelievably dumb shit and i genuinely can't recall anything at the moment.
  4. i went to the surly tailgate before the wyoming debacle with 4th&five, his wife, and my wife. my wife has no idea this place exists and is highly confused as to what's going on. i hand immamac a hundred bucks and grab some brisket (which to this day i am still amazed that imma could make such a tasty brisket) and booze and linger around the edges. my wife, confused, asks me wtf is going on and so i tell her all these people congregate on the internet and call each other dipshits over inconsequential banalities and occasionally lose their minds over sports. i point to imma and add that he administrates the site and that's why i handed him the money. anyway, my wife, who is recovering from growing up in an adventist family says "you know, for a guy that fancies himself as having a fairly enlightened perspective on the history of christianity, i find it pretty amusing that you are apparently loosely part of a congregation of idiots that are led by jesus christ himself." i chortled. but yes, the economy is humming while at the same time, is not egalitarian in the distribution of the benefits. both are completely true.
  5. the last seven posts in this thread are absolutely glorious and a perfect encapsulation of surly. i literally lol'd at the exchange. well done all around, gents. every last one of you is getting a hookem from me.
  6. pretty sure danny carey uses at least some paiste 2002s as well.
  7. when i got the core set last year, i went ahead and bit the bullet and just got all Ks for hihat, ride, and two crashes (you can see them all in the pix above). i added a little zild splash and it really makes me appreciate how awesome those Ks are. whenever i finally give up on being a good drummer and am ready to unload the set, i will send them to you. but i will require backstage passes to their grammy debut.
  8. i see what you are saying looking at this pic. there's just no way i can do that with the 8x10 with the current hardware setup without putting all my cymbals except the ride to the left of kick drum which would be a little weird. will try this set up for a hot minute though...and i have moved the snare back since snapping that pic. but no traditional grip here.
  9. while i don't share hagbard's passion for responding to a proposed itinerary by performing due diligence for a merger of multi-national corporations...i would say that i agree that the itinerary is ambitious and that your kids better be the kind that enjoy time in the car. we tend to think of something 90 miles away as an hour and a half drive. that's not quite how it works traversing scotland. feels like maybe one of your spots between ft. augustus and edinburgh should get the kick. if you aren't playing st. andrews, then probably a better time to be had skipping it but you do you. if you are in chill mode in ireland the preceding week, then maybe not too bad. but that is a lot of go-go-go that you better be confident the other four travelers are down for.
  10. overall theme correct. it blows my mind how much the misogyny comes out and what gets judged. i have an aunt who is a fucking democrat mayor of a town and the most ultra-feminist, progressive person and her response to my pointing out sunday that kamala had to be the one unless you want to lose atlanta, philly, pittsburgh, detroit, and milwaukee was "she needs voice lessons, her voice bugs me." wtf, bitch? that said, i do believe that ron's inability to function like a normal person and all these weird android trying to pass as a human displays of awkwardness completely halted and destroyed his momentum...a kind of slow burn howard dean.
  11. I will give cruser’s way a test drive.
  12. truly one of the dumbest constructed scenes of all time. they let the mob overtake everything and then poof, these two slight women just bust free of the mob and run into an empty alley when they were previously surrounded by hundreds of people. okay.
  13. sorry, wasn't clear. i totally get that the alignment of the kit in the pic i posted is hilariously fucked. i had not actually set it up yet. i had just gotten the tom and had simply slid the 13 inch tom out and to the right (i previously had it set up over the snare like a jazz set) so i could just throw the 10 inch on the hardware and snap a pic. the current setup looks like a traditional kit set up. what i was curious about and asking cruser about his post was why he advocated for putting the 13 inch right over the snare instead of the 10 inch. the more traditional way would be to go 10 inch on the left and 13 inch on the right above the kick. i happened to notice that in that aronoff video i just posted, he had done precisely what cruser was suggesting making me think it was a bit less iconoclast than i had thought. so i was curious why he recommended the 13 inch directly in front of the snare instead of the 10 inch. (that said, i am 6'4 and have blocked lebron james outside shots numerous times so a little more operating space is not out of the question for me)
  14. i enjoyed this interview. think you guys would too.
  15. they just consolidated clipping with illegal block in the back and started calling it that.
  16. regardless of these dipshit guys that sprung this convo, i will note that most baseball players i have encountered in years of playing and otherwise have been absolute neanderthal morons. exception to that was chris carmichael was in all my upper division econ classes at ut with me and he was a pretty sharp dude. and he jacked a monster 3 run hr to seal the deal for the 2002 national championship game so he's cool.
  17. just so you know, in may, there is still a decent part of the island that you might not be able to access by car. particularly taking into account that a lot of what i am listing below is in the highlands. that said...besides some of the more obvious things to see (skógafoss, gullfoss, blue lagoon), you might look into the following to see if they fit your family's jam: hornstrandir nature preserve (by boat, not by hike) the springs at hvammsvik seljavallalaug pool the kjolur road (if it accessible which is 50/50 in may) the hvalfjordur fjord (specifically for glymur waterfall the village of siglufjordur thakgil canyon, huldujökull glacier gljufrabui waterfall and the eastern highlands waterfall circle Krakatindur track drive markarfljótsgljúfur Canyon morsárfoss waterfall
  18. given that you are a southwestern colorado people, are you going to back country camp type deal or staying in "hotels?"
  19. are you going to attempt to do the full ring?
  20. The problem with your post is that it presupposes that this is not the case. think I have a good solution now. Will post pix later so you guys can sleep at night.
