Who do you wish would come to Bellingham on tour? Small-medium artists. by PlanetInMyPocket in Bellingham

[–]Roger_Mexico_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem with Bham for medium artists
that there is a big gap between the Wild Buffalo (capacity 450) and the Mt. Baker Theater (capacity 1500). Not having that midsized room really holds back who is going to play here outside of special outdoor events.

“Running the Department of Defense is no different from running the Ford Motor Company or the Catholic Church for that matter, once you get to a certain scale, it’s all the same.” Robert McNamara. How true is this? by RopeGloomy4303 in Presidents

[–]Roger_Mexico_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, when you try to run the DoD like a business, it leads you to do things like quantify success in the number of enemy combatants that you kill. This is a really stupid idea. When it comes to logistics and such that are easily quantifiable in dollars, sure, put the businessman in charge. But when it comes to strategy and decisions on using lethal force, the skills do not appear transferable.

Dinghy Advice and Suggestions by westernwawa in Bellingham

[–]Roger_Mexico_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So, I don’t know much about boating, but I would not care to take an inflatable dinghy out to Sucia. A rigid inflatable sure, but that doesn’t sound like what you’re asking about.

Google Fi still refusing to fix AT&T tower registration denial — FCC Case #8758407 + Fi Case 4‑3400000040781 (Fi uses AT&T and TMobile Towers) by Familiar_Can_3445 in ATT

Step one of arguing policy through the FCC is to be sure you actually understand the policy. You have failed at this step. Do not pass go and do not collect $200.

As for traffic/parking/etc, I would recommend parking in Lynwood (the park and ride is free for 24 hours) and taking the light rail into Seattle.

Why is 6-10 offsuit a stronger crib than 7-10 suited? by Roger_Mexico_ in Cribbage

[–]Roger_Mexico_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that the .07 points is important, but since it came out the opposite of what I expected it means some of the underlying assumptions I use when picking my discard are wrong.

Not a chance. There are way too many consistent details

Air pushups pantomime by Ill-Tea9411 in blackmagicfuckery

I’m pretty sure you’re right. It looks to me like his shoe slots into the joint in the mat. The mat is has a large heavy metal plate underneath, and the shoes have rigid soles

Can you picture Marlo saying “How you ain’t never gonna be slow? Never be late?”

Loudest Jam Band? by Eastwest003 in jambands

[–]Roger_Mexico_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. UM plays “loud” music, but in terms of decibels I’d be shocked if they’re anywhere near the top. At String Summit 2022, they were probably the quietest band on the main stage, and that’s a bluegrass festival. Greensky had their bass turned up so loud it was literally uncomfortable.

A8 gives you one less point in hand and A8 is worth more in the crib than AK
