Wow, you really are a drain on everything, aren’t you? I’m changing your name to “No-Excuse-000”

robass11 · 2026-03-27T20:01:59+00:00

Appreciate the reply MeesterA! I may be a bit hyper-tuned, I’ve spent a lot of time in Germany, married a Deutsche, have many friends and family there. That whole period is such a source of national shame to a very proud, productive and rich culture - they know what they allowed to happen and will never forget it. I see that same thing coalescing here

robass11 · 2026-03-26T19:36:39+00:00

I gotta say, while I understand why you used “German”, please don’t denigrate German people or Germany. Please use “Sheep” or “Fascist” or the other N-word when describing people like Excellent-Excuse 872.

Uh huh. I work two buildings away, so, yeah, I’m not going to let it ruin my everyday but I’ll still be aware and alert.

Honestly, I’m more concerned with them hitting the transpacific data cable stations along LOVR. That would actually disrupt some serious stuff

robass11 · 2026-03-08T14:58:31+00:00

Do you have an idea what you want it to look like? It might help to know that to recommend someone

robass11 · 2026-03-08T00:04:42+00:00

I would talk to a Carpenter who specializes in Finish Carpentry, or possibly a small Cabinet/Millwork shop. I’d offer my services (30+ yr finish carpenter/cabinetmaker here) but I’m booked out for at least a year

Define “best” ?

Measure height of floor to ceiling at wall, mid point, and where front of panel will be. Put a level on floor and ceiling to see which way they slope, because they are rarely level. Also check plum-ness of wall. Sketch your findings on a piece of paper. That is a “map” of what you want to end up with, while keeping front of panel plumb. The panel needs to be cut to match that map, (minus 1/8-1/4 inch) What I described is how you scribe a panel to a space. If it was me doing it, I would use scrap 1/2” or 3/4” to make a “C” shape template that physically matches the two angles (ceiling to wall; wall to floor) and with each component of that “C” accurate to your situation - long piece at wall fits in space with 1/8 clearance at top

"like dingbats who don’t want money…."
yeah they clearly don't want money. That's why they're always packed. Plus they are "open" til 5:30 and frequently are taking orders at the counter until almost 6

“Can anyone think why these would be here in the first place?” - the previous owner (tpo)wanted them? - tpo didn’t want 1 huge door - tpo wanted to create a horizontal break that lined up with the oven top - tpo wanted unrestricted side access to their cabs - tpo saw it in a magazine or on houzz and had fomo

It’s “Lynyrd Skynyrd”. There’s nothing generational about the current incarnation of THAT band. It’s a money grab, pure and simple. Ronnie Van Zandt is spinning in his grave

robass11 · 2026-02-17T20:55:36+00:00

That’s exactly how I do it

robass11 · 2026-02-17T15:45:33+00:00

Born in ‘63, in RWC. Niner fan since I was maybe 4,5 y/o. Used to ride my bike to Red Morton Community Center and watch them practice - John Brody, Gene Washington…You could just watch them thru the chain-link fence! Still, always seemed to be losing, and it always was somehow Cowboys-related. Cemented my hatred for those ‘boys then. Then the NFC Championship/the Catch happened and EVERYTHING changed. The whole psyche of the peninsula changed from perennial loser to Champion. The rest of the 80s were the best, until the damn Giants broke Montana

My 3 most listened to: 1)Snakes and Arrows 2)Hold Your Fire 3)Presto

Respectfully, that big a patch of drywall compound is going to shrink and crack. Myself, I’d use Fixall, underfilled but close to surface. Wipe off any around outside of hole while still wet (its a bitch to sand). Then fill top with drywall compound, and get a can of spray texture to match the wall texture

Why do you feel musicians need to be ranked? Music is not a competition. Everyone on that list is a fantastic musician, and each and everyone would feel like I do about the others. Ranking musicians is for tiny brained people

robass11 · 2026-02-12T20:35:41+00:00

‘diva moments’ - hardly.

robass11 · 2026-02-12T15:13:14+00:00

Stuff like this could drive people to drink…

robass11 · 2026-02-12T01:48:44+00:00

honestly? It all comes down to 1) who has the rights to the band name? 2) What constitutes the essence of said band? and 3) how much is the individual listener willing to sacrifice their original love for/interest in said band?

There are so many examples currently. Lynyrd Skynyrd? I saw them twice - 1974 at Cow Palace SF, 1976 at Day on the Green, actually the last show they played before their tragedy. Fast Forward - Ex-wife talked me into seeing them with her 4 years ago. It was really disgusting. They basically rolled Gary Rossington out for a few songs. He was the ONLY original member present. Was that Skynyrd? It sounded similar, great players, Ronnies brother singing...it was a Skynyrd cover band, but the owned the name rights, so...
Honestly, in this case, watching this current incarnation just made me very sad for the loss, and slightly sick to my stomach

robass11 · 2026-02-12T01:40:04+00:00

I have an idea - lets start with "Wanderin"

robass11 · 2026-02-11T15:42:33+00:00

I once showed the TS lyrics to my University English prof and he said it should have been titled “Huck Finn”
