    My buddy bought one of these at a pawn shop last year, except it was sort of a purple color.  It sounded . . . not good.  Looked cool, like it had been stored in the back of a Chevy shaggin' wagon van circa 1974:

    I feel like those old Kustom upholstered amps are standard issue at every low-turnover music store in Texas.

    Oh, OK.  So Stapleton is probably only playing thru the two Fenders.  That makes some sense.  I don't pay attention to bass amps (who would?), LOL.

    And see, I see 45 watt Matchless bass amp and wonder what a guitar sounds like through it.

    “I know good and well it’s in Trump’s hands, and he’s got plans,” he said.

    Oh, he has plans.  And they don't involve you, Jerry.  He doesn't give a damn about you.  But keep working hard (not like you have a choice at this point).  He'll need more money from you soon.

    but I'm not in a good place mentally right now.

    Definitely don't ignore that.  Mental health is health too.  The Surly collective can only do so much.  But we're mostly a bunch of lawyers, not doctors.

  5. I got the second shingles vaccine Thursday after work.  I took Friday off to recuperate but ended up having to drive my kids all over the place.  So my rest was sporadic.  I did manage to sleep in until 11 this morning and feel like myself again.  That vaccine is no fun from a side-effects perspective.  But I'll take it over actual shingles.

    If I'm honest, it looks like he just took a subservient role and let TFG walk by.  I mean, to hell with Trump, but there's so much blatantly stupid behavior out there.  This is not the hill to die on.

    Unlike a Chapter 7 and 13, where a panel of private attorneys do the work of supervising the debtor and collecting the bankruptcy estate for liquidation or distribution according to a 13 plan, the only trustee in an 11 is the US Trustee and they are pretty hands off for a legit debtor. But like most court things, a judge, whether severe or lenient, doesn't exercise much power until moved to do so by one of the parties which includes the US Trustee in an 11.

    I'll take your word for it.  [HUMBLEBRAG]My wife (no pics) worked for the Chapter 11 Trustee for the Eastern District for 11 years back when she was a new/not so new attorney and did a lot of trustee support work, in addition to the cases the firm was pushing for consumers.  She's a real natural, and I don't understand much about what she does.  But she's 99% off the cuff with it after two decades of it.  I've been practicing as long and know some things about a lot of things.  But even though she never specialized and has done all sorts of things, that's her jam.[/HUMBLEBRAG]

    That is the correct and reasonable moral reaction for sure. But that is not what the bankruptcy trustee has a duty to do. And the bankruptcy trustee runs the show mostly.

    A trustee cannot say “this will really fuck Alex Jones. I’ll do that even though the creditors would get more money if he continues his broadcast. But fuck that guy…I hate Alex Jones.”

    The other thing is that there are many creditors. I would assume many of them want Jones out of business no matter how much they get. Money can’t bring their beloved children back.  But some of the families could probably use as much money as they can get out of Alex because they were awarded that by the court.    A bankruptcy is a weird intertwined set of people with their own individual agendas that the trustee has to wade through and come up with the best compromise for everyone.      just because we hate Alex that doesn’t mean we change the program.

    The vacation story is just Clickbait. 

    It seems to me, based on my observations, that the trustees are even shorter on their bullshit fuse than the judges, particularly in the Southern District (Houston).  As an aside, trustees clean up financially.  It's a lot of work, but what a gig.

    do you think you would have done better using a different supply or compound based on the same active ingredient?

    I theorize that having food spend a longer time in my stomach disrupted my gut biome over the long term, which may tend to explain the correlation between my taking a probiotic and the hiccups quickly abating (since I still was only a few days out from my last shot). 

     

    And since I have managed to lose more weight since coming off Ozempic than when I was on it, I don't see much of a reason to go back on it.  I was 249 when I started Ozempic.  I quickly got down to 229 on it.  There, I stagnated, mostly because I used it as a crutch to continue bad eating habits.  That's on me.  I made a lifestyle change (during the week) when I came off of it because I was very concerned about putting that weight back on.  This morning, I was 197.  I'm kind of stagnating again, and likely will put on weight over the weekend.  But 197 is a new low point since this all began for me.

     

    These drugs are a miracle.  They really are.  But I don't ever want to have another week like I had with those hiccups.

    I had issues with it this morning, but it's working for me now.  Weird.
