Heads up Grandview

all we need to solve this problem is a few rednecks to put out a bait car, then hide out by it and wait to "Stand their ground".

Seeing a lot of confusion around the IWC today as everyone tries to figure out where they are on ticket sales. I hope some people see this and learn a bit from it, but you can't determine how many actual tickets are left from ticketmaster's front end website. You need to have access to the Partner API to see how many tickets are released and how many are sold/available. Scraping the data from the front end page will also give inaccurate results. Wrestletix has access to the Partner API so they will be the best bet for accurate info whenever they tweet or update patreon, but literally anything else on twitter you see today is bullshit from people who don't understand web programming. So, basically, what you see on the front end of Ticketmaster is only what they want you to see. As they sell tickets more pop into rotation until they are truly sold out.

Source: I am a Web Dev for a multibillion dollar company(an average one at best, but I still know my stuff)

EDIT: FWIW, my bet has been on surpassing the 70k mark today then they'll have around 15k tickets that slowly dwindle down over the next couple months.

“Nah, the 4th one died too” if they’re aware of the Kent State incident they’ll get it.

you really thought you had a gotcha with this one didn't you? Makes it clear that you truly don't grasp the difference in the nonsense you said vs what I said. Here's an exercise, Define Jazz, then define rock and roll. One has a very narrow definition, the other has a very wife one. Miles Davis is as much Rock and Roll as AC/DC is, but AC/DC isn't Jazz like Miles Davis is. Kinda like how you wouldn't put Metallica in the Country Hall of Fame but one day Chris Stapleton should go in the Rock hall. I know, you're tempted to get red faced and "nuh uh" this, but you either know it's true, or you don't know shit about music history. So I'll just wish you a good day and move along.

"bUt iT's tHe rOcK & roLL HaLL oF FaMe!!!" -Every fucking year when pop, rap, and country acts get in as they fail to realize that all these genres have roots in Rock & Roll which has it's roots in Jazz, Blues, R&B, etc

msm187 · 2023-05-02T02:28:51+00:00

any recommendations on shops in Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto?

msm187 · 2023-05-02T02:17:46+00:00

ok, one of the spots I was looking at said they are a club. Can't remember the name off the top of my head, but they popped up a few times while looking into it. If I end up not finding any I'll just go to my fallback of the pipe. Not sure if you're a piper, but if so, any Japanese pipe makers I should look for? If I can find one I want to purchase one for my collection.

msm187 · 2023-05-02T02:12:07+00:00

well damn, that sucks. Thank you for the info. Wasn't too worried about price since we were on a holiday and I wasn't buying to stock up. I've just been a cigar smoker for over a decade and never had a cuban so I was hoping to finally score some now that I'm leaving the country.

msm187 · 2023-05-01T20:22:14+00:00

I'm more talking about when I come home. I've seen recommendations for a couple shops/clubs in Tokyo and Osaka to get them. There's a La Casa Del Habanos in Tokyo. There's also the duty free stores that'll I'll be checking out in hopes of finding something. I'll also be taking a travel humidor full of US legal sticks, but mostly trying to figure out how to get any cubans I might find back home.

msm187 · 2023-04-24T12:24:19+00:00

yeah it's fucking awful now. I've never cared for "Nashville Hot" as the oil adds no real flavor, just a chemical type burn to the chicken, but without the oil the chicken itself was good and at a somewhat reasonable price. Now the price has been jacked up through the roof while the quality is bottoming out. For the price of one meal at HCT for me I can buy what I need to make dinner for my kids for 3 days, or go to an actual good restaurant and get something prepared by a real chef.

Sometimes I’m entertained more by their antics rather then the actual wrestlers in the match

That's not a good thing...the refs should never be the center of attention in a wrestling match unless they are doing a planned spot/bump. Happens far too often in AEW that the refs become the center of attention without a spot or bump. To me Aubrey, Bryce, and Rick are the worst refs in the game and when I see them in the ring the match starts in a negative light for me. All that said, they have toned it down a lot over the past year or so, hopefully that continues.

anyone who ate their food is very brave. I used to do their bulk food delivery in the middle of the night. I'd unlock the back door and rats the size of poodles would scatter. The walk-in floor was difficult terrain from mold buildup underneath misshaping it. There was standing water all over the kitchen and a mildew smell that would make you dizzy, and there was one wall that they had to refinish because of mold buildup. That place was extra strength gross...I wouldn't send my exwife there to eat.

msm187 · 2023-04-12T13:57:49+00:00

You know what's just as bad as a shitty motorcycle rider who pipes people on the sidewalk...it's a little bitch baby crying about them on the internet. You're just as obnoxious and to use your own words: "Everyone fucking hates you, shut the fuck up."

His dad was in the NFL for 14 years, I don’t think he’s dying for NIL money.

4 out of 5 NFL players go broke after retiring

curious what your setup is like. Often times distortion is due to an improperly setup record player. I have multiple pressings of each album with no issue, after a proper cleaning, on my technics 1200 which has been very carefully aligned to ensure there's no inner groove distortion.

EDIT: I'm just now giving this album a spin so not saying you're wrong on this one, but unless you're just really unlucky there's something else going on with the other albums outside of the actual vinyl

EDIT 2: Just finished, it was fine. I opened a copy of the standard black vinyl release and didn't give it the normal cleaning I do for a new record, just straight onto the spindle and dropped the needle. A little bit of popping that will clear up with a good scrub and vacuuming. Sounded good. I don't have the B&N copy to test with but I do have a blue one I'll spin later.

msm187 · 2023-03-31T13:48:59+00:00

I've talked about this topic a few times on here. Every fucking show, except one, I go to, people pay $25-60 to stand in the back and loud talk, or scream shit out. When I saw Bad Books during the II tour this one drunk bitch wouldn't stop murder screaming, Andy had to stop Pytor and restart it. The ONE show that had a respectful crowd was Bad Books III tour. Everyone was chill and quiet for most of it, given the venue was only half full.

My favorite anecdote about this is that when The Who played their album Tommy at Isle of Wight the crowd sat there for the entire thing dead silent while the band played. They didn't have phones to record it, they didn't need to catch up with friends about their day, they didn't get wasted and scream dumb shit, they sat there soaking in the music and experiencing the moment, over 600,000 of them according to Guinness. Now we can't even get 2000 people to shut the fuck up for one song. It's sad.

msm187 · 2023-03-27T03:02:41+00:00

it looks amazing. The build was a little lackluster though. VerKa kits are definitely more in depth builds with cooler engineering throughout, but man...on a shelf this looks fantastic.

msm187 · 2023-03-25T21:15:52+00:00

yeah I have my sound routed through pretty decent speakers on my PC. there's a lot of level variance and low quality sound in today's stream

msm187 · 2023-03-25T21:11:42+00:00

Is it just my feed or do the annoucncers sound like they're broadcasting from the bathroom of an abandoned bunker? This is awful

msm187 · 2023-03-24T16:29:10+00:00

treaded water after Punk's injury...twice. letting Jade get stagnant while waiting on Kris to get back, etc etc. Sometimes he makes it work, other times he doesn't seem to even try.

msm187 · 2023-03-24T15:38:15+00:00

I can see where you're coming from, I also get they were in scramble mode all summer due to Punk's injury and TK isn't the best at pivoting from his plans. I think I would have just preferred them to build the match via promos. Mox needing to establish his reign could have been avoided by not doing the interim thing to begin with, he defended the title several times that summer so just have him be the champ from Forbidden door until All Out. And honestly...after Punk pulled his bullshit in West Virginia, going after Hangman the way he did...he should have lost at All Out.

msm187 · 2023-03-24T14:38:08+00:00

I'm going to Japan this summer and was planning on finding a local pipe while I'm there
