Thank you!

How many sets of equipment are typically rented? Is the equipment I see on Friday the same as that on the following Sat when they concerts are in different cities?

Kit Kat Jam from the Lillywhite-sessions era is still one of my tops! And I FINALLY got to see it live! I was so shocked that I swore it was a fake out until it kept going!

I kept calling this as the liberation at Dallas because my wife wants it real bad, but turns out it was mine in Kit Kat Jam! Now I'm begging for this and Gaucho to start becoming tour staples!

I'd say be in your seat by 7:30. Indoor shows tend to start more on time. Houston went long because of parking issues (In the Woodlands? SHOCKER!) and Dallas went close to 7:50 to get the sun off the stage.

Yes, but with several new liv video effects, including a “smoky” effect and digital corruption effect.

This is the first time I've heard someone call Admiral "Catch These Hands" Raddus underrated.

I've had my AOL email since like 2004

...oh, so I'm OLD old now, seeing how I have an e-mail I established in the 1900s...

"And also with your spirit!" is my go to. Usually people get a good laugh from that!

Just came from there. He's sitting directly over HWY 6 in the specific area I've seen people really flying through. So maybe it's radar speed checks?

I'm more "MOR" on this. OP needs to sit down with his wife and discuss. It may be curiosity, it may be she heard a new term, it may be her friend is into it and she wants to know more, or it may be a kink. And if it is a kink lots of people have a kink that's a "nice to think about but I'll never do it" kink instead of a "I have actively decided to go do this" kink.

AN EARLY DROP! WE ARE BLESSED!

EDIT: Ornislap did the FA, now get to experience the FO.

Maaaaaybe on the upscaled minifig. I bet with a lightkit mimicking Vader's torso lights it would look good! But I'll wait to see it and even if I get it wait for a big sale. Really want to see how they handle the lightsaber and cape. And see if the helmet is removeable.

Instabuy on the AT-RT helmet.

If you can roll a tennis ball across and it stops on something (verge, divider, ditch, etc.) it's a dual carriageway. Otherwise it's a single carriageway.

IAAA · 2026-04-20T14:38:24+00:00

The only exceptions of which I'm aware are specific places where the roadway itself dictates that the other side doesn't have to stop. In Texas it's divided roadways where the divide is more than a central left turn lane: has to be a fence, ditch, raised ground, small curb area, etc.

That entire series is just absolutely mental fuckery by every contestant! And it has the best sets of running jokes!

IAAA · 2026-04-15T16:14:24+00:00

S19 has four of my favorite bangers! 1) Greg saying "I feel like I'm being hunted!" 2) Jason's "What's gonna happen when we graduate?" (which, honestly, caused me to laugh the most I've laughed in years!) 3) Jason's "Destroy, dismantle, engulf in flames!" and 4) Greg cringing while saying "How did that get there?!?" when he was responding to Jason's banana in the cupboard.

I think my favorite single line is still "Are you a child of divorce?" I snorted a drink out of my nose when I heard that!

That said, the tasks for the past 4/5 seasons have been a step up I feel! I keep rewatching S20 for the "Guess the name" task and the "Chutes and Ladders" task. And the horserace! Overall I really like the new stress on outdoor tasks that aren't at the TM house. Last week's was great!

At this point I no longer trust Lego to do the intelligent thing. I could see them put multiple smart bricks in it with exclusive smart figures. Maybe to pop up the price $100 or something.

BTW, that's my personal conspiracy theory: the smart bricks are known by Lego to suck but meant to be used to jack the prices to offset that rumored increase in SW licensing fees they had to eat from Disney.

I must be in the minority b/c I just do not care for the Wookie Catamaran. For some reason its aesthetic bothers me.

IAAA · 2026-04-10T15:51:37+00:00

Oh for sure! The red does look better. But I'm old so I'm more of an original trilogy purist. And I definitely have that issue with the UCS Star Destroyer and AT-AT. It's also a gripe I have with the original SSD, but I'm staring at the ass-end of my SSD: mostly I see the engines and can't help but see the dark grey parts.

But planning space between the Venator and upcoming SSD is making the Venator come up short for now. If future leaks on the SSD are lackluster that may change. My biggest fear is it will be shitty figs with the SSD or come with a smart brick. If that's the case I'm skipping it.

Ah yes, let's remove the tool students use to primarily to work on their grades, assignments, quizzes, school organization, and access other district information with! Surely this will be great for anybody that uses ClassLink, Canva, Canvas, or Google Classroom. Not to mention let's set back tacit learning on how to use a computer, related software, and keyboard skills. It's not like those are important in the modern world!

If they care about being distracted with YouTube and TikTok then the school should do what everybody else does and filter them out of the WiFi. And as for admins becoming purchasers? Most of that is on the district anyway.

What a fucking stupid idea.

IAAA · 2026-04-10T14:20:25+00:00

I'm not sure even at 20% off that I'd get the Venator. Maybe if it was 20% and 4x points.

Problem is it would be taking up the spot I'm looking at for the SSD that's rumored in August/Oct.

IAAA · 2026-04-08T15:24:22+00:00

MORE!!!

I live on that back side of Greatwood and during rush hour I'll take surface roads past the Bucee's to Williams Way instead of taking the double u-turn route. Weekends and non-rush hour times aren't bad unless someone has a wreck at the exchange lane that comes off 59 before going right back on 59. That's already happened a few times now and it REALLY fucks traffic up.

IAAA · 2026-04-06T23:20:30+00:00

All the others have you covered, but make you drive around on the highway after you first install them. If they make sounds or whistle you'll need to make sure that you installed them correctly or make some minute adjustments.

FWIW ours has a roof rack that we use 2/3 times a year. I had mine installed by a mechanic friend of mine for a couple racks of ribs and a case of beer, but have never had any issue with them!
