True….
And yet he is not a GBV fan.
About 5 years ago they were playing like 56 songs a show… it was almost too much… their set lists were posters… they famously did a 100 song set list one NYE for $100… but $30 for 56 was a better value…
Some bands - Hives, Foos- talk about playing all night as part of their act but GBV really did…
Then of course jam band Pandora’s box…better not go there

and how, exactly, is this thread different than the random randomness thread? is everything not relevant there??
i think this thread deserves a RED card

and how, exactly, is this thread different than the random randomness thread? is everything not relevant there??
i think this thread deserves a RED card
A couple of points-
Nothing can be truly random. There is no such concept. It is mathematically impossible.
Every comment in random randomness could earn a card and it would be impossible to dispute.
Also, the random randomness thread is "anything"
This thread is "everything", and provides a respite from those stressed about the penalties.

Are you suggesting this thread should be some sort of lawless thunderdome?

that's a much debated point in fields others than mathematics. nice work using a specific example as proof of a generalization.

dunno about you, but i certainly don't want to start a dispute with every random randomness comment... talk about screaming into the void. again, very unpersuasive argument.

dude. you wanna hang your hat on "anything" vs. "everything"? that's some would/could shit right there...

New unit of measurement for your pleasure
@Jerusalem_Post
An asteroid the size of 12 and a half fully grown gorillas is set to pass the Earth on Wednesday, May 21, in a very close flyby.
why the 1/2?
I mean is there really a big difference between 12 FGGs and 12.5 FGGs when a rock is hurtling towards earth?
also, there are many types of gorillas out there and they vary in sizes
at least with giraffes, there are really only one type so there is a standard size of a fully grown giraffe (sometimes called the "Standardised Giraffe Unit" (SGU) )
Edit- I stand corrected:
There are currently recognized to be four distinct species of giraffes, with several subspecies.
Masai giraffe: Can grow up to 18–20 feet tall.
Reticulated giraffe: Ranges from 14–18 feet.
Northern giraffe:12–15 feet.
Southern giraffe:16 feet.
Now I want a Northern Giraffe, I'd be like "look at my dwarf giraffe"
I'm beginning to think these people are not serious about units of measurment

I will say my bullshit detector can tell most of the time, but it's getting harder
everyone I'm sure can tell when I use it because spelling and grammar is spot on ;)
not the music you listen to
But almost all of the pop charts music has AI powered tools to make everything perfect...that I don't like at all
even the indie rockers will use ai pitch correction
Like the napster wars, I 100% agree the artists are by far getting screwed the most here
copyright laws helped millions of artists (and not just music) at least make a meager if not a good living just doing art (for money)
A gigantic wave that is coming and really no way to stop it, might as well scream into the void
But you can support live art, that's a good way to combat the fakery
although realistic robo performers are not that far away too

trump loves bringing back confederate statues
Five years after the toppling of the statue of Albert Pike (the only memorial to a member of the confederacy in Washington DC) by protesters, the Trump administration says the statue will be reinstalled.
not only was he a racist, he was into satan...wonder how MAGA will see past that

Ok more good news notorious homosexual (It is required you say it like the Duran Duran song which come to think about it, is about him!>!)
Harvard dropout
Was a confed general, but he resigned
Ok, don't make me start liking this guy: devoted much of his time throughout his life to helping Native American tribes make claims against the federal government
even a musical tangent to this story: He wrote the famous song, Dixie
Ok...now I see why trump likes him...
One tidbit I almost forgot to mention: Pike was charged with treason after the Civil War and because he’d used the Indian tribes to foment terror against the North, he might have even been hanged had Lincoln lived. Fortunately for Pike, as one of his first acts as President, Andrew Johnson awarded the Supreme Master Mason and Magus a complete pardon for all his war crimes

Hotel Yorba has been vacated due to unsafe living condition. It will be boarded-up until it is sold and repaired to a degree that will pass safety inspections.
The Yorba stands as a landmark as seen from the Fisher Freeway near the Clark Street exit. The most recognizable feature of the building is the large sign supported on a metal structure that says "Hotel Yorba."
Many of the Yorba's original architectural details remain intact, such as the stained leaded milk glass above the main entrance. to the sides of the entrance are tall columns bearing a frieze inscribed with the name "Hotel Yorba."
Now, as the 2001 song written by Jack White once predicted, all the Yorba has now "is vacancy."

was the douche referring to his actions pre ATV jorney, or was it because he was a CEO riding and ATV
