    It's well past time to go to the helmet radios and all the other things that are on NFL sidelines to simply radio in calls from HC/OC/DC to on-field players.

    jokes on you mother fucker...along with being a hell of a vacuum repair specialist, what you don't know about connor stalions is that he was head of signals intelligence at ft. meade for most of his career.

    Siap but has a one-loss conference champion ever missed the CFP?

     

    im assuming yes but i dont remember because im a moron

    assuming you are talking exclusively about P5 conferences...

    ohio state in 2018.  went 12-1 and won the big 10, played washington in the rose bowl.  they got blown out by hapless purdue midseason.

    tcu in 2014.  went 11-1 and shared big 12 championship.  killed ole miss in the peach bowl.

    Yeah there needs to be research into what's causing and address that. Did the health care system just get worse in the last few years? I don't think it's predominantly a systemic issue. 

    Insurance companies will be where to watch how this unfolds. They care only about the numbers and the numbers don't lie. If the death rates don't come down, then premiums will have to be adjusted.

    no cr, but i suspect that change in women's rights as it relates to their health care in about half the states in the country over the last 16 months may also be contributing something to that...

    Looks like there are people who offer pretty cheap mixing services on Fiverr. What format would such a person need in order to do their magic?

    https://www.fiverr.com/search/gigs?query=mixing&source=main_banner_semv4&ref_ctx_id=648f332ee03db79652e286decc278bb6&search_in=everywhere&search-autocomplete-original-term=mixing

    they will likely want each mono stem in a .wav format along with a scratch track in .wav.

    It’s fun hearing you bounce around from style to style every week. This one I was listening to while cleaning up and I wanted to hear Ana Tijoux start dropping bars

    Good vibe. Guitar sounds great - honestly it’s easy to underrate your songs because they sound too clean. Normally someone whipping something together like that real quick for something like this is using canned parts, but these are all you. I paused writing that because maybe it sounds like I’m saying your stuff sounds canned, but I just mean it’s professional.

    Thanks, CM.  Enjoying using these exercises to try some new things/styles each time.  

    So the issue with me and guitar sounds is that i spend a ton of time getting little individual, single phrases and then way more time going through RX10 and cleaning audio and making it passable than anything.  then i lace them together.  I am not a good guitarist...nowhere near guys like you, goredho, jimmy, and g650.  it takes me so long to get a phrase recorded that i think sounds good and then i will clean it and do some production processing on it to get it to sound exactly like I want, and then I will loop it.  For instance, the first four measures in the latino track...there are two counterpoint guitar phrases that are lined up that I just recorded one bar for each (in like a hundred takes), and then i loop them three straight times, and then the fourth measure is the exact same thing with one note changed.  so it is a total fake out if you will.  a series of phrases that i am very meticulously stringing together.  but it is also why that track is so repetitive and sounds a bit sterile and less organic as well which, as you note, makes it a little less enjoyable.  if you asked me to play it live, i would not be able to.  i can play most anything on the piano live (and quite a bit of bass and a bit of cello), but other than playing some CAGED rhythm chords and like the five solos out there i've practiced for a thousand hours, I can't on the guitar as I don't have y'all's skills. 

    have really enjoyed listening to everyone's stuff this month...seems like the quality has been dialed up quite a bit.  and i will reiterate what i said on the email thread, i selfishly hope you decide to let the gold top out of the cage on the next round.

    Before I joined the U.S. submarine force to go do sneaky shit on SSNs, I was in the SOSUS/IUSS world hunting and tracking Soviet submarines. Clancy came to one of our facilities and gave a talk like this, but centered around our world. Super cool and smart guy, even hung out afterward to bullshit with us and sign our books. Very entertaining book and movie, with some laughable liberties taken. Nothing as egregious as Crimson Tide, though. 

    real talk...based on your experience soviet sub hunting, do soviet captains do crazy ivans to the starboard in the bottom half of the hour?

    So I got a random recruiter call and META is paying me a shit ton of money to work at a data center in Omaha.  What's a good place to live there?  I'm gonna double the Asian population 

    it sucks, but on the plus side, you will have a lot of us surlyites hitting you up for a place to stay in mid-june most years.

  8. thinking about ou wrs going out of bounds and back in to catch balls is making me think of the 2021 rrs and it is beginning to piss me off big time.  it doesn't necessarily quite make it into the top 3 i listed earlier of 08 tech, 15 osu, and 22 bama but it is a definite honorable mention.

    My son takes long ass showers... I mean looooong showers.  Those showers consist of 15 minutes standing outside the shower (or doing "something else") and maybe 5 minutes in the shower.  I get pissed about it every night.  Who does my wife get pissed at?  Me.  Why?  Because I consistently get mad about it.  I've talked to him, I've put a low flow showerhead on his shower (he's about to get an ever lower flow one) and yet I'm the bad guy.  I told her last night that she's getting mad at the police for the police being pissed off at the crime.  Not sure that went over well but whatever.  

    Spot my son's shower...

    he seriously needs to run shower background noise to jerk it?  do you live in a studio apartment?  jesus.

  10. this month's prompt was start a song with "the liquor store is closed on sundays."

    i have been trying to do new styles with each of these and this month i decided to try my hand at something with a latino bend to it.  i have been inundated with tejano for like 12 hours a day every day for the last month and half so i decided to lean into the cultural appropriation.  anyway, not going to share the version with vocals here because i can't sing for shit but here is the instrumental version.  guitars and bass were recorded.  the latin vibe came from a combo of a compressor/overdrive/lots of chorus pedal on a strat and a bit of back end processing.

    It was fantastic. Fill-in drummer plays quite differently than Larry, but he fit in nicely. Can’t even describe how amazing the Sphere is as a venue. We even got a special guest, and I thought for sure it was going to be Adele (since she has a residence in Vegas now too). But it was just…

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Lady Gaga. Fair trade.

    I have been on the fence but was leaning towards going after seeing some of the vids inside the sphere. So you would recommend? How was Bono’s voice?

    Iowa State lost to fucking Ohio University 10-7! We are not losing to those farmer fucks.

    I mean, I get it. I can understand saying this based on this result. 

    But, college football isn’t static. ISU also beat Oklahoma State, which now people are saying “hold up, could they beat ou and get to the title game?” But they also lost to Iowa. They have improved and we are playing in Ames where we have lost there 3 of the last 4 times. Combine that with how ISU could be 5-2 or 6-1 in conference play by the time our game arrives along with the fact that it will be the last time Texas plays in Ames in most likely forever, that place will be rocking.

    People overlooking this game just based on their loss to Ohio are not counting other variables that will make this game tougher than we think. 

    Texas beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Are we the same team as then or nah?

    exactly.

    fucking rice beat houston and we had to hang on for dear life to beat them.  we are not consistent or dominant enough to take any win for granted at this point if we can't poundtown houston.

    That's cute. Remember when Astros fans had to cheer for their daddy (the Cardinals) in the 2011 WS? I member.

    no, i don't.  i was an astros fan then (as i have been since 1985) and there isn't a moment in my life where even for a moment I can even conceive of the notion of rooting for the st. louis fucking cardinals of all teams.  especially not in 2011.  would have much rather seen the rangers win than the cardinals (or the giants for that matter).

    You would have had 2-3 on every row if you went to the game last night apparently.

  14. lol, check out all the spunk from the rangers and cardinals fans!  love it...  don't think i have ever actually met a real life rangers fan so didn't know it was even a thing.

    congrats to the rangers for winning the AL pennant...it's a fun experience.  good luck in the w.s.

    utterly insane that the astros have now played a seven game world series and a seven game alcs without winning a home game.  that is baffling.
