    Coincidentally I started re-watching this last week.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    I love CA but this state can be retarded sometimes. I knew Newsom would be a big pussy about this whole thing.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    CA continuing the shutdown through all of May is disappointing. I don't really know what the end goal here is. Are we to shutdown until there's a vaccine? I thought the idea was to flatten the curve and we've gone above and beyond there. SF is fucking dead. Everywhere is closed and no one...

    Meteor Shit! My family quotes Creepshow all the fucking time. A classic.

    Watchmen

    I too started watching this about a week ago and already finished it. Really enjoyed it. Thought that, given the creator, there's no way the story would be able to piece itself all together but it does tie up almost everything really nicely. Glad they're leaving it to the one season.

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    More of an autotune fan eh? Or the screamo of the 2000s? The 90s was one of the last eras when harder edge rock with some legit musicianship and more creative sonhwriting could make it mainstream. It still happened in the 2000s but it was only a handful bands by then. Now Top 40 is mostly...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    Yes this is a "fine" album. I'll never understand why it generally gets more hype than Mellon Collie though. I enjoy it much, much more. The song writing is more mature, the production is better, and Mellon Collie has quality and quantity. I know many NIN fans consider this to be their...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    I was just saying that the musicians in hair metal bands aren't beating out my boys in Rush. Those hair metal dudes can't count anything not in 4/4.

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    My final series of shitposts. Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is completely false. Yeah those hair metal bands could shred, but that's it. There's much more to musicianship than playing notes fast. None of those hair metal bands could play La Villa Strangiato. Guess Tommy Lee really gets you...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    They're definitely 90s. Their first two albums are the only two people give a shit about and they were both out in the mid 90s. And those albums are fucking amazing. I don't have the hate some of you display for Dookie but I would agree that it's overrated. I agree with just about every other...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    It's a third of the Muse sound. The other 2/3s is Rage Against the Machine and Queen. How could you say their entire sound is based on Radiohead when those other influences are probably more prevalent?

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I love his initial reaction too. "The fuck you do that for? Now we're short the nine!" Show is so good at sprinking humor in. Even for dark and dramatic scenes.

    The OL isn't good but it's not THAT bad. Dalton never really missed much playing time.

    The Official Guitar Thread

    I'm a 24-fret guy too. I've been window shopping for a high quality guitar with a fixed bridge and 24 frets but it's surprisingly difficult to find that with the "main" brands out there. Need to go custom. So weird for something that seems so basic.

    East Austin is pretty great. I haven't spent a ton of time in Austin but that area suits me the most.

    I only know of two Popeyes in SF. SF is a mad white/Asian city but one of them is in the blackest neighborhood in the entire city.

    I've been looking at PRS McCartys. Anyone have experience with them? What's the neck profile like? I hate round, thick necks. Haven't found much info online beyond this image and I don't know if these are all available with a McCarty. Definitely prefer the thin.

    I don't know if I can respect someone who actually believes that crap though. Like really believes it. That comes with all sorts of baggage.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    I'm tolerating working remotely but being in sales things are usually way easier in person. I'm typically traveling and visiting clients/prospects on-site constantly. This is the longest I've gone without being at an airport in years.

    I've been looking forward to those streams every Tuesday night. Wish they didn't show the Jam Filled but from Baker's Dozen though. Very overrated show. And I was there in person!

    I realize you're making fun even though the quoted post doesn't mention "dope" once. But this place is dope. Best steak I've ever had. Fantastic views of the lake, great cocktails with top shelf liquor selection, quality sushi, and some of the most ridiculous presentations of desserts you've...

    Perhaps the only RB worth the money since he does so much. Still a lot to dole out for an unreliable position.
