  1. Very possibly, they could still suck AND have to put up with Deon.
  2. I liked the little touches. Roy's idea about stringing 4 dongs to Jammie's (with Jammie being the man in the middle) was the same as Jammie's idea on the board to play through him not to him. Same diagram, no strings
  3. My .02: half the clothes, twice the cash is key. Plan on doing laundry once every 4-5 days. You won't miss the stuff you didn't bring. You will enjoy not dealing with lost bags our carting around a ton of stuff that sits in your hotel room. I use a Burton Day Hiker 25L
  4. So there are 4 guitars but they each only have 4 strings.... Also the Teles have too few or way too many pickguard screws. Enjoy https://www.npr.org/2023/04/26/1171047855/bill-orcutt-guitar-quartet-tiny-desk-concert?jwsource=cl
  5. I worked at Sears back in high school. Sears was in decline, you could just feel it. But Sears was VERY serious about protecting the perceived value of their tools. Almost cult like I would say. We had a little old man bring in a hammer that looked like it belonged in a museum for tortured tools. It was a craftsman (still barely legible on the head) and the handle was worn down from god knows how much use and the head was taped/nailed onto the old wood that was coming apart. Well we couldn't find it in the catalogs and the old man just wanted another hammer or have it fixed. The manager asked him how old it was and he said he didn't know, but as a kid he got it for christmas from his dad. The manager then told him we would of course honor the warranty and he could have any Craftsman hammer he wanted no matter the cost. He spent about a half hour trying to talk the guy into a really nice "modern" hammer with a fiberglass hand etc... It was lighter and might be easier for him to use, and after all it would be free. Nope, the old guy just picked a basic old cheap plain jane hammer. Usually, we needed to take the old tool, or what was left of it in exchange. (just to be thrown out) But the manager insisted he keep the old one if he wanted since it was a gift. That was NOT done for marketing or future sales, the manager was a true believer. If it was Craftsman, Sears will make it right or better than right. That was not just corporate talking points, it was a point of pride. RIP
  6. I've got a pair of needle nose pliers that I bought from Sears 35+ years ago to work on my first car. They don't have craftsman markings on them anywhere. They are the best pair of pliers I've ever used. I have looked to find a replacement pair (just to have handy or to give to my son) of the exact same unit. Nothing out there is the same size / quality. These are small but strong, side cutters are sharp and flawless, still open and close smooth as butter, no slop from side to side, and the taper to a fairly fine point is perfect. They feel like they are only limited by your grip strength. Feels like you could pull splinters with them or lift an engine block. I have used them on boats, cars, and a myriad miscellaneous projects around the house. Several times my brother has tried to just toss them in his tool box after helping me with something and I stop him cold. Similar to these but with thinner jaws and asymmetrical taper. Lots of cheaper tools have cruder molds and looser tolerances.
  7. Agree, I saw a tweet attributed to Elon that said SpaceX wanted a simplified pad due to the nature of the planned future missions. That tweet also indicated that choice was a risk. They found out. I get all that, but the part I don't understand is the idea that a Hydrogen/Methane rocket (which we can be 100% sure was the propellant) somehow created a chemical/biological risk from physical destruction of concrete and steel. Perhaps the RCS used hypergolic fuel like the dragon capsule? I don't know that's why I asked you space nerds.
  8. I'm ignorant of the details but I'm not understanding the health fallout aspect being investigated. The rocket dug up concrete and soil and some surrounding superficial infrastructure. All but 3 of the engines fired at lift off and would have burned any leaking propellant. Even if it didn't, the fuel is Liquid oxygen and Methane, it's not the nasty hypergolic stuff. After the rocket was detonated, the O2 and methane would have boiled off in the atmosphere leaving only bits of metal, plastic and the shielding material... I can understand the pause for safety but I think it would have been for kinetic considerations not chemical ones.
  9. I'm not sure how it works for you guys, but no matter what the fans want the local business and administration will want home games. That generally means you are stuck with 1 or 2 games to pad wallets, not to delight fans. It's a business now more than ever.
  10. Don't you try to make me sad when Trump dies.
  11. Check out Curried Split Pea made with a country ham bone ... oh man
  12. It's cheap and it'll kill ya...
  13. Just got back from Drive-by Truckers 9.5/10 Much more Southern Rock than Country. Great set, only marred by the sound guy at the venue. Do recommend
  14. I'm late to this thread, but reading back a few pages it's clear that different folks are looking for different things in this show. I kinda feel bad for you If you are on team OMG this isn't realistic. The very best parts of the show are wildly unrealistic. Also don't check out Field of Dreams... I mean how is that even possible?!
  15. Anyone else notice Keely was doing the hotel welcome guide in Amsterdam too? I hope they make this a running gag
  16. The assistant coach aka Piggy Stardust makes the series IMHO. Prefect deadpan foil and agent provocateur.
  17. Not a Space X fan boi, but anyone dragging Space X for ULA... I present this... I think Musk has made a hobby out of showing his ass, but frankly they are running laps around ULA
  18. lol on the insurance adjust having to write up damage to the minivan
  19. what's the cover you want to play?
