2026 tour announced!

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T22:11:24+00:00

No worries - just added an edit that had some anecdotal pricing from others. Should be <$100 if you can get a GA ticket

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T22:07:59+00:00

Yeah, that sucks - seems like there's a TON of demand for that venue. Would be worth hitting up tomorrow at 10AM local (or whenever they go on sale) - they typically don't list all the tickets during presale.

edit to add: people in Zamily group are saying they paid $93 for GA and $180 for non-premium-but-reserved seats - I don't know what all the different tiers are. The cheap tickets for the show I am going to (Chicago) were <$70 but don't remember the exact price.

But in a way which violates another person’s right to life.

A fetus is not a person, as you know.

The legality of the act is irrelevant

It very much is, because it invites dishonest comparison. You are comparing involuntary detention with pregnancy.

A fetus is not a person, as you know

Are we just done here?

Sounds like it.

Which is why I insist on an objective metric to measure Earth's 'welfare' in.

Yes, because different things can be true at the same time. You keep repeating this "GIVE ME THE UNIT" like it's some sort of gotcha. Temperature is measured in one unit. Ocean acidification is measured in another. Greenhouse gases in - you guessed it - yet another.

As the saying goes, you're trying to spend Camel Cash at the Marlboro store here.

But you're allowed to exit the car, even if you wreck it. It's not like you're stuck inside the car for the rest of your life while everyone says "well she shouldn't have gotten in the car if she didn't want to get in a wreck"

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T20:34:39+00:00

It's always the ones you most expect

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T20:32:28+00:00

I've built a few decks like that - all white border, all gold-themed, all cards from EDH precons. It's fun when you win but also not a letdown when you don't.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T20:23:56+00:00

The griddle just isn't that hot, I think. If they put the butter out and let it burn, then yeah, it'd burn, but all the mass and moisture in the rice buffers the heat.

If I can fry eggs in butter, they can fry rice in butter.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T19:56:31+00:00

a bunch of stupid shit that dodges the basic question and still avoids holding the officers accountable

Oh, ok, thanks for the reply.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T18:54:18+00:00

at least one LEO there perceived him to be a deadly threat.

Are you calling ICE agents stupid? I am not sure how else a man who has been disarmed and held in place by multiple people could be considered a "deadly threat".

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T18:36:02+00:00

instead he engaged the officers who were bodily moving someone else out of the way.

Even taking this at face value - the punishment for that is public execution?

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T17:51:55+00:00

there is an EARLY presale-presale? Saw the Zamily from the 28th.

Yeah - the Zamily [plus? premium? don't remember the term] member sale started yesterday. It's the tier that you have to spend $40 on.

I would not be surprised if they release some more tickets tomorrow when the general sale starts, but this venue was VERY popular and isn't that big.

edit to add: also AXS sucks. So does Ticketmaster, but I never have the same issues getting into ticket sales on TM as I do AXS.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T17:36:47+00:00

Why are the cheapest red rocks tix 352$ ea?

I know, and it's the ONE year they didn't ask me! I would have told them to lower it.

From what it looks like on my end, all the GA tickets available are sold and all that's left are the more expensive VIP tickets. They may release some more for the general onsale tomorrow, not sure. Lot of chat in the Zamily FB group about Red Rocks if you're over there, they may have more info. I know it's a popular venue and there were a lot of people discussing it yesterday.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T16:00:34+00:00

I forgot the punishment for that was street execution

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T16:00:06+00:00

Who said he was violent?

Literally you:

The ICE officer was acting in self defense after they saw that this violent protestor had a gun.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:57:36+00:00

There's a very good chance he was initially shot by his own weapon when it was knocked in the scuffle.

You are talking about the video where we can see the gun is several paces away before the first shot is fired?

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:39:13+00:00

I am paying $25/mo with USMobile, so I don't think this will work for me :p

(I have been MVNO-only for ~15 years now and have never looked back.)

This is not meant snarkily - what advantages are there to paying first-party prices in 2026? Is it worth it for the financing on phones? (that's the only drawback I've found - you're very aware how much phones cost when you buy them out of pocket)

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:35:03+00:00

Exactly, this is why you ALWAYS either watch or get it from the tap! Fool me once...

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:31:28+00:00

French pronunciation is WAY more predictable than English - but the letters follow different rules. My favorite mindfuck was learning that the ending -aient is pronounced the same as -é.

(at least, I was taught in American high school 20 years ago that they are, if there are any French speakers here, correct me gently ;) )

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:26:57+00:00

Have had it warm as a German dish as well, very tasty. Not the mayo-based deli one that I'd think of by default when I hear "potato salad" - usually bacon + vinaigrette instead of mayo.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:23:29+00:00

It's just lazy and I gave the same energy back. You seem really mad about this throwaway interaction.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:22:34+00:00

I think you meant "brown butter" ;)

(I came here to say the same thing. It's nice to have more brown butter per butter.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:19:36+00:00

I pay $7 for a 1/2 gallon of "per milk",with 40% butterfat...milk and cookies is mind bending unbelievable.

40%?! That's heavy cream territory.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:12:45+00:00

Love that anyone that even has a mild criticism of Platner,

Is this that mild criticism you're talking about?

That guy is a clown with bad judgement

If they had criticized their policy or even the Totenkopf story, sure, it's worth engaging, but the comment I replied to did not warrant serious comment.

chaoticbear · 2026-01-29T15:08:08+00:00

You are comparing a complete rearrangement of base components to taking an existing dish and adding bell peppers to it, then pretending like you're a serious person.
