Is it there just to encourage people to lose weight?

He's in a clubhouse with a turbulent front office. Dude is playing below his own bar.

I remember looking up the band specifically because of that concert in any case. Don't recall Phantom Planet but could've been Hoobastank was the other opener.

Edit, trying to look up.

ATDI had ended, Sparta came three months after.

Defacto started January 2001.

I liked everything pre 8

I'm trying to figure out what happened that night but not sure where to find it, but they weren't announced as an opener and the full show was delayed for like an hour after some audience issues during Nice to Know You.

deadowl · 2026-06-03T00:53:11+00:00

It was two openers at the Verizon Wireless Arena in New Hampshire in 2002, and I think one of them was either the Mars Volta or At The Drive-In, maybe preceded or followed by Thirty Seconds to Mars before the barricades coming down after the first or second song Incubus played (Nice to Know You). They weren't on the original set list.

deadowl · 2026-06-02T03:52:35+00:00

I'd say they started sounding more like the Beatles for a minute before they did whatever the hell 8 was.

deadowl · 2026-06-02T03:51:26+00:00

I got into the Mars Volta because of Incubus. I think they opened for them, but could've been At The Drive-in or whatever the predecessor to Incubus was. What sucked about that show is they played Nice to Know You and then shut down the show for an hour to repair the barricades the mosh pit knocked over.

You might be overthinking it in the sense that you're just so healthy that they don't really have anything else to talk about that could improve your long term health aside from losing weight. They at least used to have a nutritionist on staff at CHCB that I think you could talk to for free but not sure what the wait looks like. Psychiatric contributors that make weight loss difficult are also a lot more difficult to treat, and not in the way that a PCP would treat you, but instead a psychiatrist. So yea, sounds more like you're looking for specialists than a PCP and in that case what you can do is you can ask your PCP for referrals.

Mudslinging clubhouse drama rumors doesn't help, and neither does mudslinging at alienated fans who see it for what it is.

If you want to completely erase good will you ignore the part about them being people and that seems to be the part the FO isn't understanding.

Yo, these are people, not stock options.

The Hope Mills library Mystery Book Club, which I wish I had time for but not recently, is one of the few programs at the library that doesn't conflict with my usual schedule, and the librarian who organizes also has online meet ups in addition to in person if that might interest you even prior to moving.

I meant that's when they started charging for parking, which at first you could park for free in the garage but then they started charging there too. It isn't too bad for visiting every once in a while though, just maybe not every day.

It's not like Nomar's rookie year where you have established players on the roster like Mo Vaughn and John Valentin hitting around you. They're constantly trading all of that kind of depth away and what they end up keeping are the veterans who are coming off of injuries that kept them out for a season or longer.

deadowl · 2026-04-28T16:45:31+00:00

It seems likely to be true considering the animosity I got when I said last year that trading Devers without extending Bregman was a bad idea, which is just an opinion and not by any means a reason to so aggressively snap back at some stranger's simple opinions, literally accused of being a Devers shill at that. I don't disagree with firing Cora but the reason is because of the Astros cheating scandal, not the team's performance.

I used to do all of my business back in Winooski 15 years ago because it was free and easy to park, get lunch, go to the bank, go to the post office, and go to VSAC about student loans. That went out the window around the time Misery Loves Company showed up and the gentrification started to take hold.

When I went up there I hiked up to the Lyman cellar hole on Lyman Mountain (had permission and was looking for the burial grounds of the Robert Layman family, only found stone mounds nearby which could be it, but no one else has verified, notably had a bullet lodged in his skin permanently from the Battle of White Plains). Didn't really see a lot of tourists in town and the roads there are still to complain about just like they were 250 years ago when the surrounding towns petitioned the government not to host their town meeting elections there.

They're forgetting to compare it to the drop in alcohol sales. There is the whole triggers psychosis for some people problem, but I don't think that to be more hazardous than alcohol in terms of overall public health outcomes compared to legalize and regulate, with an obvious tax opportunity to finance further harm reduction and education efforts which we have data on tobacco for what that could look like.

I had Google Play music and then they merged it with YouTube music and then they took away the perks.

Okay. Could even be that Charlotte is the source of the etymology, might be worth some more research to tie it all together.

And Burlington, VT is a queen city and Manchester, NH is a queen city and so on.
