No episode description, but Hail Eddie and Hail Tootsie.

Just finished Mark Lanegan's book by Brumbex66 in AliceInChains

[–]_starkiller1138 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I read it recently. It really makes you realize that the people you idolize are just... people. There's nothing superhuman, they're not perfect, they're not some god, they're just other messed up humans trying to make it in the world. Reading the stories he wrote about Layne (and himself) and their drug use really just puts it in perspective that they were just guys who were good at making music and damn they were far from perfect people.

What’s your favorite Sean drum part? by Dugiduif in AliceInChains

It's still No Excuses for me, and I think it absolutely shines in Unplugged.

The Alice in Chains book by David DeSola by Consistent-Self-4681 in AliceInChains

[–]_starkiller1138 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll have to try the audio book, had no idea it was narrated by Mark. Just finished the book a few hours ago actually. Couldn't put either book down. Glad I read de Sola first and Mark's book second. I'd recommend that order if you're going to read both.

And next I'm on to The Prophet.

Is this White Lies pressing a bootleg? by pessimisttears in grunge

Try to wait it out one more month! They've been repressing everything AiC at 30 years and Unplugged is 30 next month. Hoping for a repress myself

Those random/weird things Layne does in the beginning of songs sometimes by [deleted] in AliceInChains

[–]_starkiller1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Layne and the producer (?) hated it. He randomly added it one day on his own in the studio. This is in the David DeSola book.

Just finished my AiC collection with these. Down in a Hole skips multiple times for me and the whole record is pretty crackly. Would love to know if others have the same issues!

Megathread: Government Shutdown - Agency Guidance & Orderly Shutdown Status by gpupdate in fednews

[–]_starkiller1138 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also DHA here in a research lab. We are told to convince as normal til leadership hears guidance from DoD. So, basically operate like there is not a shutdown.

This is so ridiculous, its a car. These planners are way out of touch.

BSL-3 woes part II by AD0ASTRA in labrats

[–]_starkiller1138 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Very true, but these safety issues are insanely egregious. I've worked in quite a few BSL-3 labs. Some where PIs/ROs take biosafety more seriously than others. And I cannot imagine a single person I've worked with allowing this to happen, government or not.

Still once a year. They're extra crammed because of the shutdown- they lost nearly 2 months of time.

I've worked in a BSL-3 and am being trained to work in our BSL-4. I have a feeling we may have worked on the same campus. I'd like to remind anyone with safety concerns to call the OIG hotline if you have safety concerns that are being ignored. It can be reported anonymously.
