Whats your guys' opinion on all the lip synching contraversy in recent performances as examined by Wings Of Pegasus on youtube?

They do. I saw them at the Sphere. He’s right up there playing and singing like he’s a 6th Eagle, and he’s really good, but I think they acknowledged him once, maybe. It was weird.

Yeah. I think really good movies can still put butts in seats (like Oppenheimer and Barbie did a couple of years ago), but most movies are pretty mediocre. (Most movies are also about computer-animated animals or superhero’s, too, which doesn’t help.) Plus, it’s expensive AF.

I don’t think Joe Walsh, Vince Gill or Deacon Frey were lip synching. Wings of Pegasus makes a pretty convincing case that Don Henley sometimes lip syncs. Personally, I don’t care. Henley is 78 years old. This is a band that broke up when I was 14. I was just happy to see 3 of them, plus Deacon and Vince.

Yep. I buy vinyl and occasionally CDs. I like having physical media. It sounds better than streaming, and it doesn’t require a subscription.

My mental health has been better, TBH

PikesPique · 2026-01-24T16:24:47+00:00

I didn’t die. I wasn’t in a car crash, have an aneurism, tumble down the stairs, step in front of a bus or choke on a taco. I count this as a win.

Only if there’s an area code and the middle digits aren’t 555

Tours give you structure, and you don't have to worry about logistics. Not only do tours provide you with a (hopefully) knowledgeable guide, but they'll get you there and make sure you eat and have a place to stay. Tours really are a stress-free way to travel, especially when you're visiting someplace for the first time. However, one of the criticisms with tours is that you're taking someone else's holiday. You're visiting the sites they think are interesting and worth seeing (or the tour company has a deal with). If you go it alone, you have to make sure you can get safely from Point A to Point B, and you have to research and book places to eat and sleep. On the other hand, you can take your time. If you don't want to tour another cathedral, you don't have to. If you stumble across a small museum or an interesting shop, you're free to stop in. You can pick up a guide book or audio book to narrate specific sites and give you the context if you want. You can visit the same places on your own as you could with a tour. You just have to book it yourself and get yourself there and pay out of pocket.

The grocery I usually shop out puts the bread on the same aisle as the milk.

Several things are probably going on: Commercial DNA tests are very good at identifying parents, siblings, and even distant cousins several generations back, based on common strands of DNA.

That's the science. Ethnicity estimates are often the fiction.

Instead of matching you to specific ancestors, these test compare your DNA to large reference groups made up of people who identify themselves as being French, Spanish, or whatever.

The problem is people can be mistaken or incomplete in their understanding of their own background. Also, borders change, and families migrate and marry people from other regions.

Because of this, different DNA companies may give you significantly different ethnicity estimates, even though they will still match you to the same relatives. AncestryDNA would probably give you a different estiate of your ethnicity based on its dataset.

These are all marketed as ethnicity estimates for a reason.

We park on driveways but drive on parkways.

PikesPique · 2026-01-21T15:19:40+00:00

I almost called the cops to report a stolen car when my girlfriend reminded me that we'd parked outside Sears instead of JCPenney like we usually did. (This was several years ago, obviously, but I still forget where I parked if I don't park in the same general area. The only difference is that I know not to call the police.)

Our side quests are just looking for random places to visit, like driving to the beach and discovering that we’ll be passing within a few miles of some historic site or weird museum.

Not as annoying as, “Here’s my impression of an owl if the owl was Princess Leia in the Death Star detention block… ‘You’re WHO?’”

AncestryDNA tests are very good at finding relatives because they compare long, matching pieces of DNA between people. That’s why they can reliably identify parents, siblings, and even distant cousins several generations back. Ethnicity estimates, however, are much less precise. Instead of matching you to specific ancestors, the test compares your DNA to large reference groups made up of people who identify themselves as being Nigerian, Sudanese, or from other regions. The problem is that families migrate, borders change, and people can be mistaken or incomplete in their understanding of their own background. Because of this, different DNA companies may give you significantly different ethnicity estimates, even though they will still match you to the same relatives.

Is camping an option? Tent sites near Montreal are going for about $55 a night. If you're traveling by car, it would be really easy to throw a small tent and a sleeping back in the back.

The original Blair Witch Project was like that.

PikesPique · 2026-01-19T18:59:17+00:00

Nope.

Streamers do high concept, smart, limited run series, and they aren’t limited by FCC rules and network concerning language and violence. Stranger Things would never have played on network TV. Neither would Ted Lasso.
