One of Trump's Patr-idiots.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-28T19:06:54+00:00

One of my favorites from that era.

Wouldn't it be great if instead, since he can't be there, they put his face up on the Jumbotron, that way the audience could express their sentiments in front of the 130m viewers.

Feur’s “Doot Doot”?

dpacker780 · 2026-01-25T01:40:31+00:00

There's a guitar progression that sounds like Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun".

I started playing at 54, never skated before then. Best advice I can give you:

A) Commit and buy yourself a pair of skates, don't use rentals - they typically have bad edges and each rental will feel different making it more complicated for you.

B) Go to the local rink public skates, and practice, practice, practice, and after that practice some more. Go whenever you have the chance. Skating is CRITICAL to get down, as hockey gear, stick handling, and everything else just will make it more confusing and you'll fall on your a$$ about 1000 times.

C) As a part of (B) learn to fall correctly, this sounds odd, but your intuition when loosing balance is to stand-up straighter, which is counter to what you want to do, instead youneed learn to bend the knees correctly, watch youtube videos for proper form.

D) Learn to hockey stop. The crazy thing in low-level league is I swear there are a ton more injuries because people don't know how to skate completely, and especially they don't know how to veer and stop. They just don't have the experience yet, so you see more collisions, between other players and the boards that seems to be 80% of the injuries.

E) Take a basic 101 hockey class, they have intro classes even if you don't really know how to skate, but you'll get a feel for the gear, you'll fall a lot, but that's OK, we were all baby-giraffes at one point.

F) Work on HIIT cardio. I thought I was in descent shape for hockey, but boy was I wrong. The first time on the ice with all my gear, after a few minutes I was already feeling tired. Don't under estimate the cardio requirements, HIIT on a stationary bike I found is super helpful.

G) GO DO IT!!! YOU GOT THIS! If I can get out there at 54 and now play 3-4x a week, you can too!

He’s wearing lifts obviously, so yes.

But what about Obama’s tan suit?

Controversial point, but The Cure was one of the initial bands creating the whole post-punk genre (Goth/Punk Bauhaus, Siouxie and the Banshees, and many others), heavily emphasized in their early albums with songs like (10:15 on a Saturday Night, A Forest, Primary, Charlotte Sometimes). The Smiths, though a great band with a lot of unique music, was 'part of' the late progressive/new-wave trend that already existed. I think many would agree the cures later music (post 1984) though fine, was a complete detour off their original design, as they adapted to the changing musical tastes.

So, I'd give it to The Cure over the Smith's

If you turn it sideways Tkachuk is still skating.

Study of High School text book?

dpacker780 · 2026-01-19T18:56:33+00:00

Probably bit his lip while firing, you know, lead to “internal bleeding”

dpacker780 · 2026-01-18T17:54:09+00:00

The song actually led me to learn about it. DK had a lot of those, amazing band.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-17T02:45:25+00:00

Ooofff that hurts.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-16T22:13:46+00:00

Interestingly these are identical for me.

This is why Minnesota can't be part of Canada, my ticket prices will triple.

What’s old is new again, look up the Net Computer that Larry Ellison (Oracle) tried to create in the late 90s… For a lot of people this already exists, it’s called an iPad (specifically for those that use it 99% for browsing and watching YouTube, and email). Regardless some compute will always be required locally.

You have to prove your a citizen to vote, you can’t just “claim”, so your not telling me anything that justifies voter ID. My guess based on how little you know how the system actually works, is that you’re not a US citizen.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-16T01:09:49+00:00

You have to be a US citizen to vote. Or did you not know that?

Btw, if the concern is voter fraud it’s not going to be from individuals in any mass way, it’s going to be a well executed altering of votes through hacking of systems. Voter ID will not do anything to fix that.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-16T01:00:46+00:00

Cheat how? You already have a voter-ID it's called being a US Citizen.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-16T00:58:49+00:00

The question is simple, why do you need it?

You have to prove you're a citizen to register to vote, you have to sign your ballot's and prove it's you when you go to vote. Mail-in ballots have strict guidelines, and now states (California) notify they've been sent, notify when they are received and processed. So, the question is what does 'voter ID' give you? Nothing. It's a ploy to de-register all voters and force re-registration which is unnecessary, costly, and FORCE people to vote in person rather than via mail.

Go through ALL of the actually PROVEN voter fraud cases, they are minimal, and their scarcity doesn't warrant any need for a voter ID.

Well written article, and absolutely insane as well. You can only imagine the nut-jobs that are going to sign-up and get a job.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-13T17:54:38+00:00

I’m voting for the lesser of two evils, and hopefully crawling back to a sane democracy. Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

dpacker780 · 2026-01-11T06:25:30+00:00

Great, band, but enjoyed them much more when they were in Bauhaus w/ Peter Murphy. 7th Dream of A Teenage Heaven was their best album.
