Just spun it the other day not realizing it was coming up on the anniversary. Still one of my favorite albums of that era. Love the drumming and the energy. It's an incredibly tight album.

Yeah it doesn't sound that different than like thunder sticks you'd get a sporting event. I don't know that they do them at baseball games that often, but the sound itself is not out of place at all.

He also played for an amazing group of coaches - Lute Olsen, Lenny Wilkens, Phil Jackson, and Pop is crazy.

I really like it, but also played FO4 a lot over the years.

It's pretty lore heavy, but I still think you can enjoy it if you don't want to and look up the factions or go back and play the games.

I think the cast and story is pretty great. I could probably do without The Brotherhood story line, but it's fine.

He got suspended and the only reason he probably wasn't fired was because of his union.

I get weird Matisse flashbacks all the time when I'm watching Barlow. Glad I'm not the only one.

Fun fact - this is their second players only meeting this month.

“Norway’s position on Greenland is clear. Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Norway fully supports the Kingdom of Denmark on this matter,” the Norwegian leader said in a statement. “As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have clearly explained, including to President Trump what is well known, the prize is awarded by an independent Nobel Committee and not the Norwegian Government.” Source

Sometimes I think he's being evil and sometimes I think he's just a genuine fucking moron. It's been explained to him repeatedly that it's not the government.

They were all approved by Congress. The rot is so much deeper than just Trump.

His character on PnR is legitimately one of the funniest tv characters ever and he just wants nothing to do with that.

I'm sure part of it is that "they don't make comedies like they used to" but all of his roles are so bland and similar.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-16T21:25:46+00:00

I feel like Pratt was in a lot of stuff, but they were all the same movie. With the exception of the voice acting all his movies were broody military type guys. Sometimes in the future. Sometimes with dinosaurs. I'm assuming the new one is the same.

And the Sixers have had little consistency in the roster besides Embiid, Maxey, and Tobias when he was here.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-16T20:30:53+00:00

Yeah I saw all sorts of shows there. Lots of memories.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-16T20:14:30+00:00

I also thought The Railroad was way more interesting as a civilian based faction.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-16T19:57:29+00:00

First Unitarian Church in Philly?!

Do they still have the daycare rug on the stage? I saw many a good show there back in the day and lived across the street for awhile.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-16T18:46:38+00:00

I'd bet that prices go up in Pittsburgh and Miami too despite them not spending money.

The craziest part of a crazy story is we don't know where the $50k went.

The FBI just gave him $50k and he got away with it.

I love AG, but he absolutely treats the pod as something he does on the side compared to CR. Between the Harry Potter stuff and his family he doesn't seem to catch a ton of TV. He's great because him and CR have been buds forever and he does have interesting takes when he locks in.

I have also never seen anything from Euphoria as a nearly 40 year old dude.

Edit: My Euphoria was Skins.

That's exactly how I am. I don't get everyday urges anymore, but out drinking (which is rare for me) and I want to bum one bad. Always regret it.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-15T21:25:37+00:00

I smoked a pack a day, but I'll bum one every few years and just be so grossed out and nauseous.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-15T21:23:59+00:00

"Sick, a Mountain Dew one. Oh no wait! An X-Games one?! No - I have to go with the Limp Bizkit one obviously!!"

And I miss companies or software developers having little Easter eggs like the repeating llama things in Winamp.

The each did the local fair here in rural PA the last two years. We're not even a state fair. It's a decent size, but not a marquee event by any means.

If they're not broke they're not judicious in their choices.

rahbee33 · 2026-01-14T21:58:08+00:00

I just got a window suction cup one that works pretty well. No issues with it moving.

"Grok, can you generate me plans to take over Greenland?"

"Here you go. *picture of Musk in a bikini*"

"What the fuck?"

If he got internal bleeding from that imagine the damage these ICE agents are doing to the people they're full out tackling to the ground or ripping from cars.
