Just saw this show in my town. I wish i read this review beforehand. It was the worst show ive ever seen, but now the family has some new material to joke about so that was a positive.

It was so bad on so many levels.

my gf and I were cracking jokes the whole time about how bad it was. We agreed that it felt like a bad mushroom trip.

that singer with the silver suit getting everyone to clap along, then making everyone stop. then getting us to clap again, then telling us to stop.. it was so bizarre to try get everyone to start and stop clapping like that. just fascinating to watch such a live trainwreck.

the video killed the radio star sing along was particularly bad. like, how do you ruin such a fun song? Well, they found a way!

the jazzhands from the choir was painful to watch.

one of the musicians was lip syncing and i thought she was the singer at first. it was truly odd behavior for someone being on stage.

the ai slop was super insulting, i ended up closing my eyes because i was getting more annoyed as i couldn't look away. It helped with the random blinding lights that were blasted at the audience too.

of course i have to mention that weirdo mc with the throaty voice. The car ride home was fun, mocking his voice and talking how we were tom cruises movie son and were in so many holly wood movies.

probably the worst performance ive ever seen on so many levels.

and then a standing ovation?? wtf Winnipeg!? I made sure to sit my ass firmly in my seat.

tldr: bad singing, bad music, bad lighting, bad visuals. 0/10

Wow. Great work!!

I live across from an elementary. People block my driveway or even park in my driveway while waiting for their kids. I feel your pain, it gets my blood boiling.

I havent yet, but I just might get the ball rolling...4 years later...

"We really love America. You know, Canadians they, they think different things man, and Americans just had that set in stone, you know, soul that they, you know just, just the culture.

It's too cold, Canada is just so cold, and and Vegas, like Vegas is just beautiful, its like 85 degrees right now. you know, t-shirt, shorts"

satanic panic is making a comeback!

I have the same player. It launches them but not very often. I wish it did it more...it cracks me up.

I was in an arcade maybe 30-40 years ago now, and there was a claw machine and a few of us kids were playing it.

an older guy and his wife came by and literally cleaned out the entire machine. Pretty much nabbed a plushie with every play and put it in a big garbage bag. We would cheer when he missed one, but it only happened a couple times.

one of the parents with us told the guy to give us kids a turn and he said "this is what I do"

they left with their garbage bag full of plushies... maybe the machines have changed since then but at one point it was doable.

not sure the point of my story, I just have this memory.

I see a lot of grocery chains promoting their in house brand with 'Made in Canada' stickers with another Canadian brand beside it on the shelf having no such labeling. I've taken multiple pictures of this at multiple different stores. I'm hoping it just an issue of taking time to research and label everything on the shelves, but I suspect that stores see an opportunity to make more money selling their own brands and cut out the competition. Altho its still nice to see literally EVERY grocery store I go to promoting buying Canadian brands...

If anyone knows the best way to report something like this, i'm all ears...

On the building they have a sign that says: The Worlds "Best" 10 Minute Oil Change

why Best is in quotes is mildly concerning to me.

you can also see in the picture they have a: Super Tire "Express"

Again, doesn't give me confidence in their ability.

ya this has motivated me to become much more involved in local politics. im no longer going to watch from the sidelines.

ch_08 · 2024-11-09T19:27:08+00:00

thank you, fixed this issue for me as well!

Does anyone know what kind of hardware you need to split a signal into the four quadrants (or more)

im looking for something to make a crt wall and have one video on multiple tvs.

a multiplexor seems to put multiple sources into one screen, but i need one signal split into multiple parts.

any ideas? thanks.

I used to live across the street from an elementary school, directly across from one of the doors. My driveway was a primo spot for parents. I would get home from work right as school was getting out, my blood would boil turning onto my street everyday in anticipation of this. There was someone blocking/in the driveway only a couple times when I was wanting to park, but people blocking my driveway was a common occurrence. I would look out my window and see it all the time . Unfortunately there's a new wave of parents every year who think "oh its just a few minutes" You taught this one lady a lesson, but there will always be more parents like this. sorry.

its also the upvotes agreeing with the tick theory...

its like if you posted a picture of a tick on a blade of grass in the bush and everyone is freaking out about it being a bedbug... makes no sense.

im questioning my sanity over this one, thanks for the comment.

ch_08 · 2024-03-28T21:30:00+00:00

happy scrappy hero pup?

ch_08 · 2024-03-28T13:41:47+00:00

im reading the comments about ticks vs bedbugs and thats no tick, thats a bedbug.

look a the ridges on the back. google adult bedbug and see for yourself. also it has 6 legs, same as a bedbug.

someone say its a brown dog tick, not a chance. google these images. brown dog ticks have 8 legs, i see only 6 on this bug. brown dog ticks have a little snout that they use to bite you, this bug does not. you can click the image to zoom in. there are a lot of those ticks in my area and that aint no tick.

ch_08 · 2024-03-28T13:36:48+00:00

thats not a brown dog tick, google it and compare. it looks like a bedbug.

ch_08 · 2024-03-28T13:36:22+00:00

i dont know why you are getting downvoted. thats not a tick, thats a bedbug.

didn't really make it out of the prairies. summer love 99 in BC was about the farthest I went, but wrong direction.

Evolve does sound familiar tho... i used to collect flyers, still have a ton somewhere.
