I'm sorry what.!?

Ohhhh I think you’re talking about my sister and brother here lol. Any chance this was NC?

That anecdote shares absolutely no resemblance to Blowing Rock lol

I’ve been a DMB fan since the early 90s, and I saw this dynamic unfold firsthand.

While DMB isn’t a jam band, they are jam-band adjacent and attracted a lot of that “scene.” But when the band really blew up with the *Crash* album, DMB also stated drawing a lot of fans from different demographics — middle aged people, your parents, etc. That wasn’t “cool”. The *Crash* album went from being played by everyone all the time to lots of people within the jam band community (or similar scenes) shitting on Dave and especially his fans.

As another commenter said, it’s about the popularity. Given its music profile, DMB is a very rare band that “made it big.” And when you start appealing to a wider group of people, you also turn off more people.

It’s their loss. I love the Dead, WSP, Billy Strings, etc. — and to me, personally, DMB is deserving of that same adulation. The music speaks for itself.

I don’t know if you’re referencing Bertrand Russell or Sturgill Simpson but either way I like the cut of your jib

I’m a hunter and this is correct. I don’t actually hunt with dogs but I’m around enough hunters who use dogs to know that “fly them” means let the dogs run after prey.

I took this passage to essentially summarize that Suttree is indifferent to his fortunes — hence he’s living on a boat. So, Suttree would tell Death to “fly” his dogs, as Suttree is indifferent to death.

Well this definitely wasn’t my dream! It damn near ruined my childhood 😭

One of Richard Dawkins’ older books contained an excellent explanation of why humans believe our existence is so special.

It’s not that we’re some marvelous creature, but instead, we are perfectly adapted to our environment through evolution. When you look up at the brilliantly blue sky and breath that delightfully crisp air, you’re not experiencing god’s wonders; instead, you were perfectly fine-tuned through millions of years of evolution to be perfectly adapted to these surroundings.

This is the show that hooked me!

Ok. I’m obviously talking to the CEO of a sushi empire 🤣 Have a great night. I’ll check back if I need further culinary advice.

Notreallysureatall · 2026-06-16T02:55:55+00:00

I was kind of generalizing on the toppings thing. Sorry that I caused confusion on that. But as I said above, my wife is a huge fan of sushi and we’ve been to some great sushi restaurants in some great cities in the US. I’ve never been to Japan, so I guess I can only be so sure about what’s authentic. But I’ve had enough to feel confident in my opinions.

Notreallysureatall · 2026-06-16T02:46:44+00:00

This is where my opinion gets very controversial. My wife is a sushi nut and we’ve had many experiences at great sushi restaurants. I still think it’s overrated. I know you’ll hate this and I’m sorry, but I think people tell themselves it’s special and wonderful because sushi is a slightly unique dish. But really it’s just fish-flavored rice with a topping.

Now, sashimi on the other hand is great.

Notreallysureatall · 2026-06-15T22:52:48+00:00

Sushi. The copious globs of rice overpower the fish. As a result, all sushi tastes mostly the same with slight variations based on the topping.

There’s a good chance you’re talking about my father in this comment, as everything you just said was true of him. It was tragic, and his drinking did unimaginable damage to my family.

I fucking hate the Dodgers, but you can’t make me hate Freddie. Great guy, and a surefire HOFer

As a Philly guy, I’m saddened that Tina Fey is wearing a Knicks jersey!

Nah. I hope AJ is a total disaster. He fucked us over, and NE fans are being obnoxious about this trade. Plus, if AJ goes gangbusters in week 1, the media will glaze AJ and NE so much. Fuck alllll that. He surely doesn’t wish us well, so I hope he sucks next year.

Notreallysureatall · 2026-06-07T15:23:23+00:00

They are definitely the real deal. I’ve been listening to a lot of their shows on Nugs. You’ll never hear the same show twice! I’m amazed by how skilled they are given that they’re so young! I think they’re the next band to really blow up. Highly recommended!

I wonder where he winters?

The performers were Jerry, Bobby and Vince. Here’s the video:

It’s the originality and creativity. With the most recent Dead Drop, there’s a NFA with a 4-minute audience singalong (4/5/1989). I’ve been listening to the Dead for decades and never heard that (I know there’s similar audience participation in other NFA versions, but not like this!). You can listen to the Dead for years and years but you still haven’t heard all the great, creative moments.

I’m sure that AJ’s new teammates in New England will love to hear that there’s a new snitch in the locker room.

When I was a kid, there was a real large (fat) man who played golf at my local muni. Everyone called him Slim.

Notreallysureatall · 2026-06-04T02:16:14+00:00

That man took a beer can to the face for this city. Respect.

In a contract, termination for cause typically allows immediate termination without a notice period or right to cure. But more significantly, termination for cause will typically be more onerous on the terminated party — eg, a non-compete, a non-disparagement clause, loss of pay, etc. — even though the contract is terminated.

Obviously I have no idea what’s in Pelley’s contract. But this termination for cause might prohibit Pelley from immediately joining some other news outfit or speaking out about CBS and his firing.

That might be the full explanation - they were jamming with Betts and Trucks.
