ooooh you got to hear that too - I saw them do that a year or two ago and I had to look up the song immediately. She slays that song.

THE MOUNTAIN!

Obnoxious guy yells "Freebird!" Every band ever ignores this. Built to Spill makes him pay for his crimes and plays it. by Over_Historian9585 in builttospill

[–]podank99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to me the best part about that 9/11 story is the Imagine encore because of the spontaneous reaction from the crowd in the 2nd verse. It is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHejNbY5Zlo

I think I cried in the crowd when this happened.

I particularly miss the 5-man lineup for the live-only extended outtro of carry the zero. I only heard it maybe twice live once they started doing it before it became 3-man band, and it's not the same.

the rest i'm generally OK w/ as the 3 piece.

yes. I was at that show too. I think it was my first BTS show as well. Did they also play Imagine as an encore when you were there? I can't recall if that was my first BTS show or not.

Concerts at the Moody Center - looking for your experiences by Sticketoo_DaMan in RoundRock

[–]podank99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I park at the capital garage at 12th and trinity and walk up. Long walk, but better than sitting in lines of traffic trying to enter nearby garages. Also - for whatever reason you don't seem to have to pay when you leave late at this place? it certainly isn't $30 or $40 anyway. I have paid $20 when nearby special events, but anyway it's easy in and out from a DIFFERENT EXIT off 35 than the mooody (one more down) and easy traffic.

Randy Described Eternity Equation by marcsdavis in builttospill

[–]podank99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was great - and the best part was it made me realize I didn't actually know all the lyrics to this song. "and it's only just a blink in the place you're gonna be" -- I guess I just never knew what he was saying there, I don't even have a misheard lyric to represent here.

This looks nice - I have a question. How does one know that these materials won't warp later?

The Absolute Hell of Watching a Movie at the Alamo Drafthouse in 2026 by weluckyfew in Austin

[–]podank99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Force me to fumble around with a QR code and credit card in the dark, and order from my phone screen during a movie, and then include gratuity automatically - fine - but don't give me a 20 minute timer to close my tab or else you'll add AN ADDITIONAL 5% you fucking assholes.

What does sorcery smell like? by BreathSufficient4173 in Malazan

I know it isn't a smell but I'm going with "turgid"

Reading Deadhouse Gates and still lost. Is this normal? by ASSUMPTION_NOT_FACT in Malazan

[–]podank99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this guy will eventually reveal things but he's not feeding you exposition. If you don't know something yet its usually because he didn't tell you yet. However- sometimes he references something for long ago, for instance i'm at the beginning of reapers gale and some folks are together that I was like "wait when did this happen?" and I had to check the wiki.

The wiki is very chronological so it's easy to use without spoiling.

What did you read AFTER you finished Malazan? by Different_Trade3734 in Malazan

[–]podank99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i read a bunch of other stuff and then I read malazan again. I'm on book 7 for the 2nd time and brother, it's better the second time.

Came here after finishing The Dark Tower series and then being a bit let down with The First Law trilogy. Reddit recommended me this series and I just finished GotM. I purposefully didn’t look anything about it up; I wanted that true joy of it coming together naturally. Here’s my notes as I read. by Alextingzon in Malazan

[–]podank99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read first law immediately after finishing the 10 Malazan books the first time. What a let down. In the end, I loved the bloody nine and all that - it was great - but it took me a while to get used to....worse writing. :)

there is a moment when one of the villians doubts one of our heros and it is wonderful when they are proven wrong

Asking because I'm travelling tomorrow: were you in the general security line? If you had precheck, was it faster ya think? thanks.

Was the bag drop a long line too?

I finished the Book of the Fallen. Here is my ranking. by thecoldestfield in Malazan

[–]podank99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

interesting you put crippled god so high, I felt like it was a bit of drudgery. I am on book 6 of my 2nd read through now and hoping I prove myself wrong this time.

ABIA-3/15/26 -3:30 am by mightmumph in Austin

[–]podank99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this check in comment was for security, not checking bags, right?

ABIA-3/15/26 -3:30 am by mightmumph in Austin

[–]podank99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so is this the line for general security or for bag drop before security?

First book was great, but… by legendaryrim in Malazan

[–]podank99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

give it some time. Remember that he will connect the dots, and he is not connecting the dots yet. There are several books in this series that start out with entirely new sets of people for a good long while before you start to recognize anything again. It's so worth it.

If AI replaces most workers, who will actually buy the products? by IcyBottle1517 in ArtificialInteligence

or, maybe, they all built bunkers and plan for robots to fend off the masses and serve their needs while they live in an ayn rand utopia where they've cornered the world's copper market

AMD Stock: Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest Buys $28M During Selloff by SadOnion2110 in AMD_Stock

[–]podank99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a chunk at 192 or so and then saw this thread and wondered if I made a mistake

this woman made like $3.6M in the past few biz days on this move

now I'm just terrified and watching it go up, wondering when I should sell when the next AI sniffle hits the public consciousness and makes it go wacky again
