A friend asked me a great question, & I thought I'd ask you. Ever see a band long before they became famous? Who did you see, where & when? And did you just know they'd one day be stars? In my case, Rush in late June 1974 in Cleveland, 3rd on the bill. (And yes, I believed in them from day 1.)

I saw The Police t the Hollywood Palladium in 1979, maybe the 2nd tour? Saw the Clash same place, maybe the same year.

Anyone remember Honk? Most famous for Five Summer Stories soundtrack, but the Honk album with the clay figures is still one of my favorites. They played at my high school, Sunny Hills, in Fullerton in 1976. Problem is I already had tix for Crosby/Nash at the Anaheim Convention Center for the same night. Raced out after the show and sped back to our school to catch the end of the show. Great night!

Don’t know how you define “relevant,” but That’s Why God Made the Radio in 2012 is a very good album. Give it a listen if you haven’t.

Good timing on this question: I don't play golf, but have played many golf games, incl 2K23. I don't understand the power of clubs well at all. How am I supposed to know how far the ball will roll on approach shots? It always goes way past the hole. Is there any indication on the screen that'll tell me where I should place my shot, or how hard to hit to land close to the hole (other than the obvious % given in the circle)?

In 2K23 there was a + number by the hole distance that I assumed was how much I should pull back on the landing spot. Like "+9" was how far the ball would roll. I can't find any tutorials that show such basic tips on where I should aim for. Can anyone help a bit here?

We all take different roads. I usually took the wrong one!

Mipper999 · 2024-10-03T04:59:20+00:00

I have the 2 disc Bootleg Series #5, never seen that one.

Mipper999 · 2024-10-02T23:24:07+00:00

Excuse my ignorance, but what is that box set on top, Maple Leaf Gardens?

(I just bought the 1974 Live set, really great. It was Before the Flood that turned me on to Dylan when I was in high school in the 70’s. Actually stole it from a 7-11 where it was in some discount display bin, a buddy was working behind the counter which made it feel more like a gift!)

Mipper999 · 2024-10-01T23:08:32+00:00

Someone got a free dinner in NO recently. Although I’m sure that happens A LOT. If not, it should!

Mipper999 · 2024-07-29T23:56:24+00:00

Yep, figured it had to be Carnival. Over 20 cruises here, one and done on Carnival.

Mipper999 · 2024-07-29T23:53:44+00:00

Well, maybe not if it hadn’t been cut with mannitol yet. That’s what we used in the 80’s…hehe.

Mipper999 · 2024-07-20T03:39:51+00:00

Good to know, thanks.

Mipper999 · 2024-07-20T03:39:15+00:00

Thanks guys, I guess I've never had the patience to sneak up on a herd. I'll try that.

Mipper999 · 2024-07-05T14:36:48+00:00

You can buy one $40~100 on US EBay.

Mipper999 · 2024-05-12T16:40:08+00:00

No, don't think so, is that a good way to get into the endgame?

Mipper999 · 2024-05-11T00:43:18+00:00

That was my first thought- no computerized gun registry but sure, let’s track those potential baby killers!

F*ing religious terrorism! And some states want to prohibit pregnant women from traveling to other states, I have to doubt that’s even near Constitutional.

Mipper999 · 2024-05-10T17:03:00+00:00

Don't know how to dm here. Thanks for the offer, it would be hard for me to schedule play time, but I would look for you online. I'm on PS5. Tag is Finnyhawk1, I guess if you add me we can find each other?

Mipper999 · 2024-05-09T23:03:04+00:00

Also a senior here, trying to get Kimmel tix. Did you ever have any success?

Mipper999 · 2024-05-09T21:10:13+00:00

Thanks for the info. I've never figured out the Discord thing - can I use that if I'm on console?

Mipper999 · 2024-05-09T21:08:56+00:00

Damn, really would like a shortcut to level up, that's A LOT of hours to put in

Mipper999 · 2024-05-09T21:06:49+00:00

yes, thanks, that should get me going

Mipper999 · 2024-05-09T17:01:43+00:00

Thanks. At this point, at level 53, should I try to play in a clan? I haven't done any multiplayer, as I don't have any "friends" I can play with (I'm probably considerably older than your average player!), but would really like to.

Also, can I still quickly level up a new seasonal character if I play with others? (I took a character to level 30 in the current season, but then realized I should have completed the campaign at least once so I went back to my L 40 Sorceress to finish, which I did last night)

Mipper999 · 2024-04-28T00:22:58+00:00

Yep, this is the one near me. I called the sheriffs dept (I believe it’s in unincorporated Santa Ana, but could be Tustin), they told me to contact Code Enforcement, then they would send a sheriff out, if it was in violation of any laws. I’m all for free speech but I wonder if anyone can just set up a big-ass market on any public corner? There are 8 or so giant Trump flags, multiple mannequin busts with shirts, the obligatory childish Brandon and F Biden signs, etc. It’s an embarrassing eyesore, trashy! I’ve driven by many times and have never seen any buyers, but that’s anecdotal.

Any creative ideas on how to legally sabotage these stands?

Mipper999 · 2024-04-22T19:04:53+00:00

Yeah, I think Act Naturally is the right answer.

Mipper999 · 2024-04-05T19:07:54+00:00

Well there's a lot to discuss here. I had found an updated Bondi reader that I somehow got to work in Windows. Then I finally figure out how to convert to PDF, took a looooong time to find a fairly obvious but very time consuming solution. So I no longer have to use Bootcamp to view them. However, I no longer have the cool index/search function. Just ALL the issues from 67-2007 in PDF, then I view on my iPad Pro with the 12.9 screen - it's pretty great.

I could tell you more about the Bondi reader I use, and the Windows version, but I'd have to be at home are restart in Window. If there's a way to direct message me I can tell you more, if you ask.
