    My parents are still trying to find ways to use their Y2K freeze dried food cans. It still makes me chuckle whenever I see the last few dozen bins of it at their house. They spent about $5k stocking the pantry and garage with some prepper package from an End Times Alarmist "ministry" that was available on short wave radio. You know, the one from of communication the government can't shut down and will be used by the real patriots when the US falls into anarchy! 

    Reminds me the MD and Ops GM took vacation at Y2K time and I had to worry about 500k bopd.   My IT guy told me to chill, and he was right.

    This is a great analysis of Wichita Lineman.  Strong Songs is a great podcast if you enjoy song structure, writing and arrangements.  Dude is super talented and spends a lot of time dissecting songs.

    Thanks.  I tried it earlier today.  No problem guitar wise, but it seemed unusually difficult “hearing” the melody (to sing to) as the song goes thru the chord arrangement.   Equals practice, of course.

    Pretty true. But as a recovering addict myself, there is a point at which you may have the opportunity(s) to accept offered help and then do the necessary and a responsibility to do so. 

    As it turned out, thank god, you did have the capacity, overall.  Not the situation for the bulk of the homeless addled.

  4. Whether it is our fault is not the issue.   Similar to systematic racism.  We didn’t make the problem, supposedly, but we are the only ones here, we being society, that can do something.  Should do something,imho

    Wrong or right, I consider homeless and tweaked out druggies passing out on streets as the same people. Yes there are homeless people down on their luck and need help making ends meet. We should be helping them. Druggy homeless fuckers, eh...

    So that begs the question, who is responsible in fixing the homeless/drug issue? No matter the answer, we taxpayers are paying for it, whatever "it" is, whether it be enforcement and incarceration or copious amounts of mental hospitals and free mental care and drug treatment. Selfishly, I don't care, just get them off the streets/woods and into something, jail or mental health center, I don't care.

     

    Society is responsible.  The drug addled homeless haven’t the capacity to be responsible

    I have a long term commitment locally until summer of 2025. I'm going to look in earnest this fall about moving to D.C. or Minneapolis, maybe central coast California. This shit is too far and there's no signs of sanity returning to Texoma anytime soon.

    Central Cal coast:  the Stache retirement plan.  I assume your savings are mountainous.  Second level humble brag.

    I have never watched a second of OAN on TV. Hell, I'm not even sure if my provider has that channel. Although, I'm starting to think they might actually suck far worse than I could have ever possibly imagined.

    It was on at the Anchorage airport restaurant I was having breakfast at a few years ago.  Stupefying in it’s grossness 

  8. Welll, I’m an old but am with the gen z’s on this one.  Oppressor and oppressed, etc.  But I understand and accept Biden’s forced hand.  He can’t be tough on Israel in the election cycle.

    according to the professor each of israel's prior wars ended when a great or superpower stepped in and told them to stop.  once great britain, a time or two the soviets, mostly us.  so, biden's state department could end it, but it doesn't.  because the US doesn't step in to tell israel to stop until it's politically worthwhile, domestically, for the president to do so.  he then compares it to the US position on cuba, which is entirely driven by a small but politically powerful set of cuban ex-pats.

    Microscopic sized set of Cuban expats….

    But he does bankroll it. And his state department has done nothing but furrow its brow (on its best days)

    The US bankrolls it based on decades of bipartisan funding, most of which is still authorized.   Biden did not unilaterally decide to support Israel.  The situation has himover a barrel.
