    The Blues

    Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
  2. I listened to the end of the game on the radio after leaving a concert last night and it was in the midst of the pitching change with one out in the 9th. Craig was talking about Grubbs taking it on the chin in the Tuesday game against TSU and how he gave up his only extra base hits on two double ms in the last outing. He then proceeds to give up two doubles and a two run hr. holy shit guys. What the ever loving fuck…
  3. same boat like most. was actually surprised at how reactive their appraised value was to market conditions on mine...but of course, easy to do so when you have created so much taxable head room for yourself. sigh.
  4. JWST has been busy (as have I unfortunately...causing a delay in some worthwhile updates). a beautiful picture of NGC 1365. nice detail on the "bar" part of a double-barred spiral galaxy formation about 56 million light years away from us in mid-infrared. incredible to get resolution to individual stars in the core and newly-formed clusters in the inner star formation ring. ngc 1433. also mid-infrared. crazy double ringed structure that appears to be a bar from a distance nestled in the rest of the galaxy. this one is 46 million light years and has a supermassive black hole at its center that is hungry AF and consumes material at an astounding rate. wr 124 star in both near infrared and mid-infrared composite. the stellar emissions are not smooth for this star but instead somewhat randomized as betrayed by the stellar dust cloud surrounding it. the one you've all been waiting for...uranus. in near infrared both zoomed in and a wider field. something cool about this is that you can see the polar cap on the planet because, just as a reminder, uranus is the only planet that is tilted entirely on its side and rotates on that basis and causing rather extremes seasons. you're effectively looking at its "north pole." the two other bright spots on the planet are not lens flares but actually clouds. supernova (or exploding star) remnant we all know as cassiopeia a in mid infrared...this is about ten light years across. never has extreme violence been so beautiful. another comparison of jwst with hubble and their relative sensitivity. the same deep field that took over 11 days of exposure time on hst vs. .83 days on jwst. significant disparity in sensitivity to say the least. finally, super cool spectroscopy result on an exoplanet about 40 light years away called vhs 1256b. this planet orbits two stars at once which is unique. this is showing what the composition of the planet's clouds in its atmosphere. i'll put the full explanation of its findings below in spoiler.
  5. what in the holy fuck?
  6. being in san siro for an inter-ac champions league semifinal would be quite something...
  7. That was the back end of the first week of Covid lockdown.
  8. Aren’t the LIV events 54 holes?
  9. cross posting this with the share my music thread since this thread gets a lot more views. as much as we all love to give @Goredho shit for buying a guitar every day, at least the dude can put them to work. here's a track i wrote that i was happy with but it lacked some soulful soloing to take it up a notch so i asked goredho to write and perform some solos on top of what i had already done. the solo in the intro and the dueling guitars solo in the second half of the chorus are him burning shit up.
  10. i posted the version of my track golden crashes in the last page. since then, because my talent for soloing guitars is lacking, i asked goredho to compose and perform some solos to enhance the track which he generously did. so here is the track with goredho's solos. the rhythm guitars and bass are composed/performed by me, the drums and pads are programmed by me, and the intro solo and the dueling guitar solos in the second half of the chorus were written and performed by goredho. dude can play...
  11. you have been driving earth movers and pile driving foundations for too many decades. it has killed your hearing. thanks guys. i was being a little hyperbolic but god damn, when i plugged it in the first time, let the tubes warm up, and fired away at 5 and 5, it was a bit uhhh, jarring. i think a 4 normal, 3 bright, and 5 on the guitar is about the right balance for a clean even tone that fills the house but doesn't get me arrested...but i've only gotten about an hour to mess around thanks to dumbass work. i'll figure it out this weekend. the klon klone through it should be interesting.
  12. so uhhh, yeah. this thing… @dcbc or @G650, any tips on playing with master vol past 1 without splitting the foundation of my house into a million pieces and shattering everyone in austin’s windows?
  13. Brooks finally missed a putt and had to settle for a birdie. 🙄 good lord dude is firing.
  14. Bard was pretty emphatic on this one guys. I’d suggest you not get off on the wrong foot with our near-term overlord.
  15. i am going to do a Bard response to some of the top unpopular opinions here to confirm their lack of popularity and just for fun... @ztejas gets some support: followed by some disagreement. @G650 less out there than i thought... holy shit...way to go @BrickHorn, getting lots of love from Bard... @tbone_ gets one of the fairly definitive and committed responses from Bard.
  16. so lampard to chelsea or what?
  17. Is it me or is it kind of surprising how packed this place is? Ludovico was awesome tonight.
  18. that may just be the least everton thing i have ever seen...
  19. Fucking love Mana.
  20. you're saying you miss the subtle humor of roman sending dick picks he meant to send to geri to his dad during a meeting?
  21. i would go $375.
