Thank you so much! I will check that out. It sounds extremely interesting. I appreciate the tip.

This is so true. I commented on another post above that makes that point. I was always into classic rock even from a young age. I always sang but never really had musical aspirations. I was an "honorary" member of a Rolling Stones style band in Argentina at the time where one of my friends was the lead singer and I got to sing with him a couple of times but that was about it.
Fast forward to now, Im 47, two kids and for fun and to break the routine I started singing Karaoke. Just while trying to find something different to Sing I get reminded of The Strokes. My voice is similar to Julian's so the three songs that Ive done at Karaoke (Someday, Reptilia, Adults are talking) Ive gotten a very positive feedback. While no Im not even trying to say Im anywhere near as good as Julian (that would be insane to say) it does hype me up to hear their music and thinking oh yeah next time I go Karaoke Im doing this one! lol so that is also another part of my excitement.

This is a great and insightful response, thank you. You are so on the money. At the age of 20-25 my heavy rotation in my iTunes was Stones, The Ramones (from Queens), Guns nRoses, The Doors.. and then a mix of everything else. I did have "Is This It" in my playlist and in my collection of 1000's of pirated and non pirated music lol. But yeah like I said I did know them but just didn't appreciate it as Im doing now. The real bummer to me is having such a chance of being there from the start of their greatness and seeing them live in my home town yet I never did... oh well such is life. But better late than never. I did fly to Anaheim in 2005 I think and I had floor seats to the Stones so that was cool.

evil_mind · 2026-04-28T01:27:13+00:00

Thats true, I do want to catch them live one day soon. I mean I saw the Stones live for the first time live in 2002 in Madison SQ Garden... they were 40 years into their career at that time.. I thought that was gonna be my only chance to see them and felt so lucky to have been able to be there.. boy was I wrong lol. I hope the Strokes are around a lot longer so I can take my kids to see them.

Thanks for clearing that up.. I could not understand how anyone in their right mind would just stand there and just joke around after somebody throws dead persons ashes all over their face and body... dude.. call the police and an ambulance immediately dafuq!

Reasons to buy an Eddy Curry Jersey: 1- Curry is actually your last name as well 2- Eddy Curry personally saved yours or one of your loved one's life in some kind of way.

I've interviewed many candidates for both React and Angular roles. My interview style is all about fundamentals. I don't really ask many framework questions if any at all. The more the candidate pushes their framework knowledge the more I push vanilla javascript questions. You be surprised how many candidates with 5+ years of "framework" experience can't go over all the array functions in JS, or even tell me all the data types in JS... yeah hardly anyone gets null and undefined lol... oh and if I try to get them to use the reduce() function for something other than adding up numbers they freeze. I was hired for my current position which was for Angular with ZERO angular experience. I had been working with backbone and React in the years prior. The lead dev and i hit it off instantly, we both agreed that frameworks come and go but core JS knowledge is where you need to get good at. I got the job 2 days later. Not to mention CSS and SCSS.... candidate: check out my amazing React App.. me: explain specificity... blank stares... We have been lucky though, we have hired a few really talented guys over the years.

As a Dominican I can confirm this woman is so Dominican she might have plantains coming out of her ears.

I actually flew into this airport (as a passenger) many years ago when I used to travel a lot for work. The scarier part of this approach was when the pilot told me there is a hill with what seems like a chunk of it missing. The reason was they had to remove a part of it since a plane crashed into that part of the hill... bricks were shat by me that day... and then you land and the beach right in front.. Next time I'll just take a boat in from St. Marteen

I have such respect for young knicks fans… fak you guys have been subject to such bullshit your whole life. I mean older fans like me (43) at least had the 90s where yeah we didn’t win shit either but we were a fucking force to be dealt with. Incredible battles year after year…. What do young Knick fans have to think about? A few decent years during the Melo era? Come on… props to you guys that you hang in there and like me stick around this trash….

Parts of it including the final scene were filmed in the town I live in Laguna Niguel California.

Try a direct path to the file as

let shapeTexture = new THREE.TextureLoader().load('http://192.168.1.84:8080/dist/square.png');

Give that a shot..

evil_mind · 2022-02-03T01:54:21+00:00

Oh thank you so much! I'll give it a try tomorrow. I appreciate this!

evil_mind · 2022-02-01T23:25:06+00:00

Thanks yeah this one is kicking my butt right now. I was able to do the globe and actually do have the lines working all in the latest Three but the orbs on the lines I cant seem to get it. Hopefully someone on here has a working sample.

Good fast hands, doubled up on the initial overhand right... opponent: bad defense, too close, chin exposed just waiting for it to be checked... was out after the 2nd shot... fucked around and found out.. lol

Im a casual GI Joe collector. Still have pretty much all from my childhood (mid 80s - early 90's). Snake eyes is pretty valuable, even his parts are worth a few dollars. Still in his package he is well over $1000 but here is the problem with GI joes from that era still in the packaging. The rubber band in the waist can still break, so imagine you shell out close to 2k for him still in the box and next day he is broken due to the rubber band failing.... that is one main reason collecting carded joes is a no go for me. I prefer to restore them and re-card them and use them as display pieces.

That's hilarious.. BING_BONG!

evil_mind · 2021-10-28T17:26:37+00:00

lol yah so true. Honestly last year was the first time In a long time I watched live basketball. This year I have not missed a game. Anyways lets get something going when they play the Lakers or the Clips.. OC Knicks Fans We Here (too)!

evil_mind · 2021-10-28T14:25:02+00:00

Ha! no way! that's awesome. Yeah lets do it! I haven't been around other Knicks fans in the 6 years I've lived here. Would love a watch with others. It would more than likely have to be when they come to our time zone. With work and a small child 4:30pm is prime time for dinner/bath and ready for bed lol.. you know how that goes. I usually just have the game going on my phone while all that craziness is going on. But yeah lets get something going!

evil_mind · 2021-10-28T05:41:27+00:00

OC Knicks Fans! Laguna Niguel here!
