  1. Where did we leave that Moxie? Surely, it's in a couch cushion somewhere?
  2. If you don't care about having coil splitting (and assuming probably wrongly that the SG board and pots would fit a LP-Classic), I'd be happy to send you my old one if you want to pay shipping.
  3. My bad. I kind of ignored it when I first heard it from my son a few weeks ago. It was a bit surreal to hear the exact same thing today. I'm sure it's nothing, and apologies. It's just hard to see someone who was playing decent football last year regress so hard for no reason. Also, I was pretty hungover yesterday. So maybe I was projecting.
  4. My son, who is a sophomore at UT, mentioned to me after the Ohio State game that maybe Arch needs to spend less time at the Fiji house or they need to stop letting him in. He clarified today that Arch has a "social bid" to Fiji, but he doesn't know how frequently he is partying there.
  5. We used to get HS+, but it's been HS for a while.
  6. It's all designed to make you angry and/or scared so you'll keep watching and they'll sell ads. Some time ago, I disconnected from all of it with the idea of there's literally nothing i need to know RIGHT NOW. Legacy 24 hour news is just crap. But sometimes, I get you have to just throw it on (I haven't gotten there yet though).
  7. I knew you'd like em, because you remarked about them last time I wore mine.
  8. ERS Health select. When I made my appointment, I just clicked the obese box and rolled in. I don't feel obese though. I'm just a beer and bbq loving Texan.
  9. Surly Medal of Muledick
  10. When I first saw Johnny R., I thought the First Blood reference was to the shooter hiding out in the woods. Then I read the post. Also, I think she thinks her sister's lesbianism and academia are just a phase she will grow out of.
  11. First thing, check your wiring harness. I don't know if Epiphone/Gibson still uses quick connects, but on my SG (faded), I used a pickup change as an excuse to upgrade the wiring harness. I recommend Jonesyblues.com for a well made wiring harness. He has P90s as well. https://jonesyblues.com/shop/ols/categories/p-90s For a P90, don't sleep on Mojotone for something at a reasonable price. The PAF clones I got for my SG sound amazing. https://mojotone.com/collections/p-90-pickups
  12. He certainly looks really dumb like he's celebrating violence, but that ominous, action-movie, showdown music raises my suspicion just a bit that the person who posted/reposted that video doesn't want us to hear what he's yelling and is editorializing (with music) something that does not require it.. But he's likely an idiot.
  13. Never let facts get in the way of a good narrative.
  14. They're going to get so rabidly focused on this that tomorrow they're going to forget the first rule of 9/11, which is you never forget 9/11.
  15. If it was a right winger, they'll just say they were inverted, thereby making the right wing the left wing. /smoke bomb
  16. Just admit you were wrong. You spouted shit and it wasn't true. It doesn't mean you're a bad person or you did it intentionally. But any intelligent person can discern that gang violence isn't a broad term in any way, shape or form. We actually have specific laws in this state (that are in no way unique) that enhance crimes committed by criminal street gangs. It's not the same thing. It is something very specific. But call it "AI slop" (otherwise known as a useful tool for gathering information that disproved your suspect post in mere seconds) and pretend you didn't mean "gang violence" when you said "gang violaence" because you simply can't accept that you were passing along bullshit as truth.
  17. who are in the community, domestically. Jeez.
  18. Silly me for copying your post, which quoted Kirk's last words, into Google. Words have meaning, and it was fair to surmise what the intended meaning of "gang violence" was as used. Nice try.
  19. According to Google: No, the majority of mass shooting events do not involve gang violence; most mass shootings are linked to community violence or intimate partner violence. While gang-related incidents can be a component of some mass shootings, they are less common than those stemming from domestic disputes or general community conflicts, according to the U.S. Concealed Carry Association and Everytown Research & Policy Types of Mass Shootings Mass shootings can be categorized by their underlying cause, and these categories include: Community Violence: These events often occur among people who know each other and may be related to gang violence or drug deals. Intimate Partner Violence: These incidents involve a perpetrator targeting members of their own family. Public Mass Shootings: These are often thought of as random acts of violence in public, but they are less common than community or domestic violence events. Extremist-Motivated Shootings: Some mass shootings are carried out by extremists, often linked to white supremacy or other ideological beliefs. Other Types: Incidents can also be motivated by personal reasons, such as deep-seated grievances, or can be connected to criminal activity outside of organized gangs. Frequency of Gang-Related Mass Shootings A study by the Congressional Research Service found that events associated with criminal activity (which can include gang activity) and domestic disputes made up a large percentage of mass shootings between 1999 and 2013. However, research from the Gun Violence Archive and Everyday Violence suggests that mass shootings are more frequently linked to community or intimate partner violence than gang activity.
