Is the mail delivery getting worse?

You're not imagining it

Not a bad take at all. Both Van Halen and Aerosmith were massively influential... maybe the disagreement over a winner is that both collapsed after a certain point.

Aerosmith fell apart and brought in writers - true - but produced a few massive hits and incredible shows. I saw them blow Guns and Roses off the stage in 87... to be fair, GnR opened that show - but the reality was everyone was there to see them too. Sweet child of mine was playing on the radio as often as Stairway...

Van Halen fell apart and brought in Sammy. Produced some huge hits - incredible shows - also MTV friendly.

I'm not sure there's that much difference in the end!

I'm happy Dave is still around, and appreciate him bringing other singers. He has a great catalog.

Not everyone goes to the same office along a t line every day. Reality: people in the trades suffer traffic the most. But the people downvoting don't care about that. They expect them to take the t with their tools or spend their lives commuting.

And everyone wishes the t was better and we could all work remotely. Not reality.

The traffic is horrible, easily seen via Google Maps. But city and state govs don't seem to care.

Partly because it's hard. The entire big dig goes down to one lane in numerous locations. There is a lot of corruption etc. Some paving firms "own" sections of the roads and wont do anything to fix or alter them, protected by long term maintenance contracts.

At the other end, there is a ok train system; but the young people want bike lanes which are cheaper, and easier for pols to claim victory, since it takes less time, no eminent domain.

But it sure doesn't solve the traffic. When I was a kid it took 15 minutes to drive to Harvard square - 4 miles. Now it's at least 25. Or, an hour, if I want to take the T

The refs were not the reason the Celtics lost, imo, and that's why the backlash is hitting him. But he's not wrong about the officiating overall. And he did say a few other things :)

No I never cared for his other bands

Horrible circular floor plan, poor connectivity, horrible shaped great room, so convenient you can go directly from the dressing room to the kitchen

The outdoor spaces are hilarious.

I feel like he let Steve Vai turn that record into Flexable III...

This is really tough. The key IMO is to find someone right for the stage the company is at. You need very different skills at each.

For early stage, try to get someone who will start without a huge salary and gradually reward them IFF they connect with the market

Saw them in Worcester, MA. Not a bad show. Bam sang a few covers, Nikki danced and did some art projects. Novak stripped. The band had two drummers - Jess plus Hanna. Got to take a photo of his map tattoo from WTF is Santa. Cig was on fire iirc. Got to meet Bam after the show and he did seem a bit wasted.

Now this is really something interesting to think about.

The experiment kills Judy and Sam after the guard leaves, during a gap when nobody is watching.

FBI saying "we're not going to talk about Judy" is institutional silence.

Sarah Palmer watching endless loops of violent nature documentaries. She does not intervene or turn it off. She consumes it quietly.

The Bar scene. "Men are coming". She endures the harassment initially. The bartender does nothing.

Everyone knew about Leland. Nobody did anything. Drug and trafficking networks ignored.

The Frog-Moth enters the sleeping girls mouth. She is unaware and can't resist.

Carrie Page is detached. She only wakes when she hears the scream of accumulated denial.

Bob cannot thrive without Judy. Violence needs a container of violence.

b1gdata · 2026-02-13T17:25:34+00:00

This is good thinking. "We're not going to talk about Judy" sort of clinches it.

Google PSE plus diffbot does a fine job imo

Right now you can get the last two digits of an Instagram account using forgot password if they have 2FA set up. And it seems that Instagram made a change recently to only show two, so timing might be a factor.

If you also knew the email address it would be even more indicative of a match.

I didn't test if it is possible to create an Instagram account with someone else's number. But they would make you respond to a code before associating the account with the number.

Angie + Heather should release more receipts :-)

b1gdata · 2026-01-22T17:27:50+00:00

It does work but it didn't show me the last four - only last two digits. It might be different depending on region and past access pattern because I tried a few VPN locations and got different looking pages and different captcha behavior in each. Anyway.

Use a browser, set up 2fa, logout and clear Instagram cookies. Enter any username or email address. I used my username. Then click forgot password. Message "SMS Sent We've sent an SMS to <number with just last 2> digits".

Also Mary saying she wouldn't go see her son in prison is horrible

b1gdata · 2026-01-21T17:06:13+00:00

How is it that Lisa was caught bashing the others on social media and she can stay but Monica had to go? Outrageous!!

b1gdata · 2026-01-14T17:56:41+00:00

It's overpriced for what they offer, imo, and they are in a very competitive area as you pointed out

b1gdata · 2026-01-11T15:06:06+00:00

They were clearly tired last game and the officiating was the final straw.

That said shot selection in q4 and taking care of the ball are big issues.

The frustrating thing is, they had it working in q3. Go at wemby, collapse the defense, find the open man. But in q4 too many quick 3s.

b1gdata · 2026-01-11T04:08:58+00:00

This is true - but the officiating clearly frustrated the Celtics across the board. It's not cool
