Trying to get guitar porn thread back on track by:
1) I don’t think anyone believes that TS has an iconic or even “great” voice. That said, she is extremely effective at using it to do white girl tricks in conveying different tones in her songs. Her first two albums have a very nashvilly sound vocally, 1989 is the definition of teeny bopper, while reputation is quite strong in conveying bitterness and anger, and then a very mellow and pretty sound for folklore/evermore. Creating those different album feels is not as easy as she makes it look, despite the fact that she’s not a technical or pitch perfect iconic voice. But at the end of the day, the chick can write some fucking hits and is a very good instinctual musician. She’s also quite smart in her collaborative choices. While being an attractive white girl may have given her a “leg” up in the beginning, her talent and songwriting is plenty organic is is ultimately undeniable. The stadiums of 90,000 people singing along every word for THREE AND A HALF fuckkng hours in every city around the world out front should have told you and I’d sell all of your guitar collections combined in a heartbeat to have 25% of that ability. She’s been wildly oversaturated for the last five years so I get the pushback and it’s time for something different but she’s an all time songwriter and a very talented musician and it’s silly to say otherwise.
2) thanks to consulting you guys, I didn’t do something idiotic and drill a hole in the Martin. Got a really nice strap from them to connect to the neck and it’s working out great so thanks to all for stopping me from doing stupid things.

18 hours ago, Celery Man said:I’ll fight anyone I don’t give a fuck. I legitimately like Taylor Swift and have mad respect for both her talent and her work ethic, and I think she gets way too much shit for dating like 7 guys in her twenties. My daughter loves Tay Tay and I think she’s a great role model.
her cousins got her this shirt and I’ve tried really hard to explain how badass of a gift it is -
her loog is in her closet and I heard strumming and singing - “Disney WOOOOOrrRrrRrLD! Disney Woooorld, oh Disney…..
WORLD”
I talk to her about how her songs are great and that she can write songs and sing them on stage like Daddy or Taylor Swift if she keeps it up.
she's obviously great as a collaborator, can write a hit like very few people have ever done, has some really good songs, and is a force of nature in terms of being prolific and the magnitude of her tours. deej is obviously way off base saying her isolated vocals are bad as he's just being a hater. that's insane. i have stem split about 40 of her songs for my girls to study...her vocals are incredibly good at connoting different emotions of songs. she's not adele, whitney houston, or maria callas but she's a plenty good singer to go along with songwriting ability.
that said, i sent my wife and older daughter to one of the shows in houston and my wife and younger daughter to one of the shows in new orleans and in retrospect, i probably would have rather used that same amount of money to buy out the entire town of tremezzo and build a house on lake como. lifetime memories for them though. and they both have that shirt.

I assume he's acting like a fucking buffoon like he always does. I could give 2 shits what that idiot has to say about anything. That doesn't mean the actual planning, coordination, etc. of the strike itself wasn't impressive. It's ok to appreciate the American military without feeling like you are supporting the administration you know. But yeah - I'll see my way back to the Stars or recruiting threads which can hopefully stay devoid of the rampant TDS that infects every fucking discussion on this board.
god damn, do you ever do anything on this board besides follow this same little routine of yours? jesus christ what a fucking whiny bitch you are. just jump to your fucking obvious grievances next time and save us all the time of reading your dumbfuck posts trying to construct your strawman so you can finally say TDS and imply feigned superiority.
"rampant TDS" gives away the game skipper...even if you try to do a rex and say "he's a buffoon and i don't give a shit what that idiot says." anyone that actually feels that way would never use an absolutely idiotic term like "rampant TDS."
next time, just go eat another 50 donuts or some shit.

In the name of recycling/reusing, I’d love to be able to clean up dirty water and use it for other purposes. It’s valuable. And I’m sure the technology is available, but like desalination is too expensive to be profitable. So my guess is they’ll be setting cleanliness standards that the o&g boys choose based on cost, and the water won’t be very clean.
It’s actually not available. Even when the expense was put forth. I was significantly involved in litigation between Antero and a French company called Veolia that spent a quarter billion building a “state of the art” facility in West Virginia called Clearwater to try and clean up all the saltwater typically disposed in disposal wells in Marcellus. The idea was to stop injecting and instead create river quality water. They spent a ton of money and then spent a ton more money…and then a ton more trying to make it work. It ultimately led to them just having to buy up the global supply of fly ash because the shit didn’t work. And even then they had to transport all the radioactive shit coming off the water (to Texas by the way).
they put the money in, hired the global leading firm to build it for them, and it did not even come close to working.
we are still not able to technologically achieve the processing of SWD water into river quality water. This bill is utterly fucking insane and will absolute make some lawyers rich after some people die.
edit: if you want to read about it, long story here (as someone more than intimately familiar with the facts and issues of the case, I’d say this article gets it about 95% right which isn’t bad for these type of advocacy websites):

What if we think of SpaceX as a fireworks company?
Kind of a short presentation.
we’re gonna have to upgrade tariffs on all the Chinese fireworks even more to get this American manufacturer a level playing field.

i completely see what he's saying and the observation of the flight seems consistent with that but i just can't get my head around a fucking pilot mistaking the flaps control for the landing gear control. here, i've drawn it out.
this is what a landing gear control lever looks like in a 787:
here is what a flaps control lever looks like in a 787:
shit, sorry, didn't jump to page 4 and see that someone already pointed out how insane that would be.

fwiw, the survivor stated that there was a "loud noise" that preceded the crash.
Quote“Thirty seconds after takeoff, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed,” he told the Times from his hospital bed. “It all happened so quickly."

Initial observations, it was a full length takeoff not an intersection take off. Most likely an inadvertent flap retraction instead of gear up. Also noted in another forum it was not an augmented crew and the FO only had 1100 hours but that’ll come out in the wash too. Obviously it’s all speculation at this point until the flight data can be extracted. Freaking wolf Blitzer was quick to jump on the Boeing whistleblower…🙄. Not sure why I bother with CNN in any capacity, but that’s the only news channel in my hotel this week.
29 minutes ago, Captainant said:It definitely looks like early flap retraction as the cause of the stall, but I wonder what the puff of smoke on takeoff was indicative of a critical loss of power. Jeeze, what a nightmare
1 hour ago, Bobby_Batronic said:Inadvertent flap retraction nearly downed a UAL 777 out of Maui last year.
i just don't understand how an inadvertent flap retraction occurs unless a bug in the electronics causes it in an automated way or unless the pilot is severely drunk. The controls in a 787-8 cockpit are pretty fucking clear.

wouldn't the pilots had to have raised the flaps at that point in their ascent themselves? to even get to that point in the air they had to have started down, right?

I had shit going on so I tuned in late in the game and our AB in the 7th was the first I saw. Was that ump calling balls a foot and a half outside strikes both ways all night like he did to our final batter?

So Martin players, have any of you installed strap buttons? Assuming I should just take it to a pro if I decide to do one but figured before I went down some rabbit hole of lunatics and nut jobs, I would ask my own collection of lovable lunatics and nut jobs if anyone would have any reluctance with having a button drilled.

Miracle, more than one run in more than one inning. Thank god.

How is Kansas lite? I haven’t kept up with the big12 at all so no clue what we’re facing today?
Based on their team ERA, if we can’t break out of our offensive funk where we can’t score in more than one big inning a game since the Aggie series, then we just aren’t that good this year and it is time to move on to next year and hoping that schloss knows what needs to be done to add the right parts.
I’d rather us go out and put up ten runs and not choke it away by packing it in in every following offensive half inning like last night and like the Tenn game.
pull your heads out of your asses horns. Let’s play some ball.

Indeed. It is glorious. Very mellow, much like Taylor Swift’s voice on the song “tolerate it.”
