Noticed a construction screw head melded into my truck tire Sunday night after coming back from the ranch. Was hoping to get another 7-10k out of this set but just paid $1380 at Discount for 3 new KO2s and a new cert for the replacement. Paid $1302 for the last full set in June ‘21. Got 43k out of them so not too bad but was hoping for a few more miles before dropping the cash on a new set.
why not get it patched?

Exactly how many guitars do own?
Maybe hold off on buying a few new guitar and a invest in a sprinkler system?

They should re-do the movie "It Might Get Loud" with three great guitar players instead of one.

To be fair, the name is "It Might Get Loud" not "It might get Great"
If nothing else U2 played loud.
Also War was their best album with only a few good songs sprinkled throughout the next 3 or so albums. Vertigo was the last song of theirs I can recall liking.

The Edge is massively overrated and Bono is annoying. Mullen and Clayton are a ridiculously good rhythm section though.
enjoy!

Rubio: US should fly more drones over Black Sea, protect them with jetsthoughts?

From bbc... not that bbc
QuoteWe're now hearing for the first time from the Russian defence ministry on the incident.
Moscow is insisting its aircraft did not use on-board weapons or come into contact with the drone.
They say Russia airspace control systems detected a US MQ-9 unmanned drone flying over the Black Sea, near the Crimean Peninsula, in the direction of the border of the Russian Federation.
They accused the US of violating the boundaries of its temporary airspace "established for the special military operation".
Russia says it scrambled its aircraft to identify the intruder, but due to quick manoeuvring, the MQ-9 drone went into an "unguided flight with a loss of altitude and collided with the water surface".

Proper response is to send a bill to Russia for $8 billion USD. And if they decline, send $3.2 billion in HIMARS, Abrams and long-range guided munitions.
so COD?

About the same as an SU-27.
We can make more Reapers.
The russkies can't make more SU-27s these days. That's a good deal in my book.
It might also be a 2fer situation. The article I read said there where 2 migs. It also stated that the migs were also dumping fuel in front of the drone. May be to force it down maybe to interfere with cameras and sensors? The US needs to support Ukraine and let Russia spill her blood and treasure there, because it seems apparent their ambitions extend well beyond Liev.

What really blows me away is if they are 5th generation (very unlikely) then they're "5th Generation Mexicans from Germany. Dios mio!"

Pretty much every sentient being I know is of the opinion the Doors suck but L.A. Woman is a cool song.
That intro though.... Can't hear the song without seeing the opening sequence

I'm good... Saw them back in the day. He's getting perhaps to old to pull off "Vibrator Dependant"
Lol... found a version from '09

You want to talk overrated? Had some time to kill in Paris... so I went to see the Communard's wall and figured I would stop at a few of the popular grave sites. I expected Morrison's grave to have some tribute flowers, mourning hispters, and maybe a guy playing a few tunes on a guitar...
Nope just a shitty unkempt grave with a busted up crowd control fence.
Also the Cimetière du Père Lachaise feels like a nice place to get mugged

Tom Petty is way overrated.
Complies with thread title...
I didn't care for Petty's music when I was younger, so I fully understand the sentiment. The Limp Biscuit guy is on his own.

Eugene Levy's Reluctant Traveler is pretty good.
If you like this check out Richard Ayoade's Travelman... it's a better cheaper version imho
Slow Horses... good so far

Black Flag and Minor Threat were bands that were hard, not Nirvana. The Germs, the Descendents, the Minutemen were real indie guys. Nirvanas main contribution was tearing down the polish of 80s radio for a raw sound, mainly because they had the pop sensibilities to break through. It was very poppy music even then. And as I mentioned Kurt Cobain was a huge pop music fan, especially shit from the 70s.
Black Flag is a great brand not a good band... Damaged was great, the rest was crap. But you'd think they're the Beatles by how ubiquitous their symbol is.... I've seen rappers and tiny boppers with the black flag tat
These are some indy mofos

OK you can say 'only 13 games' but Culpepper put up even better numbers EVERY YEAR and only played 11 games a year.
His production just doesn't compare.
I didn't say that it does. Believe me I'm intimately aware of Richardson's performance or lack thereof. My point was that the kid has undeniable physical talent, but he needs more time to develop as a QB. I think it's a smart move on his part to leave early, but man oh man, I would have loved see him stick for around for another year and see what he could do behind an improved oline and with better quality receivers.

Just now, The Dog said:
the guys he's being compared to athletically are Hurts, Newton, and Culpepper. All three put up video game numbers their senior years. Richardson did not.
counter point Richardson only started 13 games... and is leaving for the league asap. Kid is crazy physically gifted, I'm rooting for him, but he made some plays that'll make you think at a minimum he needs more practice/PT. 4.44 40 @ the combine
Also there are some plays where trucks a db then out runs the others ... Bigger than Cam, and faster than Cam, less felonious than Cam, and with a cannon for an arm.

Rarely outside of big games but they average 45k attendance around 70% of capacity of the off campus facility. Again Miami only has 12k undergrads so they do pretty well if you compare them to private schools:
I'm calling BS on that. Perhaps they have sold an average of 45k tickets, but average attendance is nowhere near that number. I seem to recall years that single game tickets cost more than a 3 game ticket pack (or something like that). So those big games had fans from other teams buying multigame tickets because it was cheaper.
counter point, don't know, don't care

Memorial Day
in Daily Texan

This is a little remembrance and a slight rant...
This was my grand uncle...
I had always seen his portrait in my Great Grandparents house and when I asked as a kid all I got was a terse response and a pained look "he was killed in a training accident" End of discussion. The other day this crossed my mind and I went looking for some more information. Turns out that story is correct. He was in the 612th Bomb Squadron, 401st Bomb Group. His flight crew was assigned 42-6090 B-17F
From the 612th:
From the 401st:
Information about my great uncle's crash was pretty hard to find. So after scrapping up bits of info from here and there I added it to the Wikipedia of B-17 accidents and incidents. Previously there was no record of this accident.
And get your tinfoil hats ready boys... it seems like the War Dept. wanted to keep all the crashes on the DL for nation security reasons. (I mean it's war time, I get it) This is a news article that came up during the search... First bold is a reference to the 42-6090 the flight my granduncle was on... the second bold is kind of a jaw dropper.
At the risk of adding to a tl/dr post... I ran across an forum post where a family member of 42-6090 organized a memorial service near the crash site and tried to get some participation for the military. They couldn't make it or send a representative, according to the post one Champlin was too busy and the other three were on vacation... cool cool
Anyways just wanted something out there with their names and info. The crew of 42-6090 was two weeks from deploying to England.
Cool pic
