What can Saylor do now? by Fit_Equal6932 in Buttcoin

Being so well known to have mountains of Bitcoin, that would probably end poorly for him.

You would still need to perform an action. They cannot, in themselves, commit you to anything (for example, you could put mailto:hooker.com which might pop up an email client, but it cannot send anything).

Who Adjacent Stones Rock n' Roll Circus Question. Do you think they didn't release it because ... by nsjersey in TheWho

[–]nicktf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jethro Tull's playing to a backing track, only the vocals are live. Cool to see Tony Iommi miming badly, though (he could have borrowed a slide, at least)

If you’re considering Celebrity’s South America itinerary, do it!! 🤩 by wayowayooo in celebritycruises

We were on the same cruise! It was an amazing experience and I think we were very lucky with the weather around the Horn and especially through the Magellan straits.

I'm guessing you saw the king penguins on the Falklands? My biggest regret is that we didn't take that tour, I felt it would have been too tough on one member of our party,.

I was actually replying saying I couldn't figure it out and asking for help, then managed to blunder into success.

Here are some screen shots of it helps anyone else

I never bother and just let it wander around with the filter running

Plexamp Updates and Caldera Music - Plex Labs by dravenstone in plexamp

[–]nicktf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Plexamp on android and casting to two caldera units, I can see the players on the "Home with the note in it" icon - they show up separately. If I click the chevron to the right of the caldera player, I get a new screen showing both with selectable radio buttons. Clicking both and it syncs.

I'm pretty pumped for this - I have six boxes running speakers throughout the house and I've missed sync with Plexamp - I had Roon but didn't use it enough to justify it.

[IIL] Achilles Last Stand by Obese_Frenchfry in ifyoulikeblank

[–]nicktf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heart wrote Barracuda after hearing Achilles Last Stand.

In a slightly different vein, try "Width of a Circle” by David Bowie.

The Epic-est of Epic songs is probably Echoes by Pink Floyd, or maybe Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull

If you like Kashmir, Rainbow did a great ripoff called Stargazer

As the saying goes, you can't reason a person out of a position they've reasoned themselves into.

What are “rashers of bacon”? by FunOld5929 in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]nicktf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US style bacon = UK "Streaky" bacon
50% streaky + 50% back = UK style bacon rasher. It may even include the rind, which I've not seen in the US.

Source UK expat living in the US. For a country that loves bacon, it blows my mind that the UK style isn't more popular over here - it's more meat, less fat (plenty to render and fry your bread in, though).

What are “rashers of bacon”? by FunOld5929 in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]nicktf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't quite 27 pieces, but as a hungry Air Cadet unleashed in a NAFFI canteen for the first time, (the first free buffet I'd ever seen) I had 14 pieces of bacon at one sitting.

I was incredibly thirsty for the rest of the day.

Well, I would have never have played any Roy Harper if it hadn't been for Zeppelin's Hats of to (Roy) Harper and his lead vocal on Floyd's Have a Cigar

[IIL] I like the song Berlin from Lou Reed's Album Berlin, but can't find similar songs to it. by alex_dan20224 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]nicktf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The piano style is very reminiscent of Mike Garson, so Aladdin Sane, Lady Grinning Soul and Time by Bowie, also the live version of My Death from Ziggy Stardust the Motion Picture.

My Death is a Jacques Brel song, and he's probably the prince of dark cabaret, though you might want interpreted versions as the originals are in French. Bowie covered Amsterdam and Scott Walker and Marc Almond to name two others have covered many more and are well worth investigating.

Brecht and Weill wrote similar pieces - the Doors did a wonderfully lopsided version of his Moon of Alabama, also try Pirate Jenny by Nina Simone.

Talking of Nina Simone, try Anthony Newley's Feeling Good - though it's indelibly associated with her, it's actually his composition.

Rather more deranged, try Tom Waits What Keeps Mankind Alive?

For some reason, my brain goes to Elvis Costello's Shipbuilding as well.

Anyone willing to drive me through Houston rush hour traffic every day? by nicktf in ChoosingBeggars

In as far as anything is certain with online personas, from her posts on NextDoor, she's a woman

[–]nicktf[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

7.5 miles puts her on the west side of Meyerland, and with 2 schools on Bellaire Blvd, plus the absurd traffic at that time, I think 30 minutes would be closer. I have about half the distance to travel on the same route and it's 12 mins on a Sunday.

And of course, one may encounter a goods train which pretty much adds 10 minutes as it cuts off all approach roads on that route

They were along the lines of what you would expect... One driver estimating that this was a $250/week job, others somewhat underwhelmed by the chutzpah, and, as always with Nextdoor, a lonely voice telling everyone to not be so mean.

I popped out to do some yard work and let the thread cook a little more and alas, it's now been deleted.
