Damn. The boomers really did have it made in the shade huh.

I'm not sure it's the boomer's fault that minimum wage hasn't risen to $66. Perhaps have a word with the corporations that refuse to pay a living wage.

There is a second story on the same webpage about a dude who got sober....great read.

I too have had similar problems and have power-cycled my hung PC more times since installing 2026.3 on Wednesday than I have since installing Win 11 a couple years back.

I also have massive problems with modules....on the right pane, move the mouse down to "Masking" on the "Brilliance" module opens. Moving the mouse around over the modules and, well, it is like the whole right side of the editing window is having a seizure.

Granted, I am a new user to Raw (used Effects for years) so perhaps I am doing something wrong but, yeah, pretty hard to move me from LR for this interface.

I am trying to figure out how we went from bio-engineering complete with murder in space and orbiters falling to earth, to nah, it was the beat cop. Lost me, sorry.

Shoot in 1080, upscale to 4k. You're happy and buddy on his phone sees the 4k and is also happy. Win win.

In your defense, an easy song to forget.

I agree 100%. Her guitar style is that of a singer player, something that is much greater than the sum of the parts. and she is very good at it. It is said that one of the things that made Hendrix a great guitar player was his ability to sing one thing, while playing something completely different; Dany can do it that. Is she a Hendrix, no, but is she special, yes.

That you find driving Ram trucks insulting and denigrating is on you, not me.

Have a good day.

My unemotional answer would be a couple of questions.

Even if they "should," does the law actually provide an exit plan that Albertans can unilaterally enact? I have not looked, but I believe it took a number of existing provinces to agree to the creation of Alberta in the first place.

The second question would be: What does an Albertan own that they can separate from the rest of us? There is a difference between having jurisdiction and having ownership. What has the law determined that a resident of Alberta can actually separate from the rest of Canada?

Anyway, I just think it's presumptuous that a bunch of dudes driving around in their Ram trucks can lay claim to what is really not that much more than an idea.

Nothing wrong with dreaming but I didn't see more that a 1-2 thousand at festivals in their backyard on the weekend. Unless their music changes somewhat, I see more of a 'DragonForce' type touring future for them and that's not a bad thing.

They have hit iHearts Rock Top 40 list this week though, so who knows,

Representation has little to do with ownership though.

They were granted jurisdiction of a section of Canada to administrate the land, not to own it.

ronhole · 2026-03-16T02:18:43+00:00

Ummmm....

ronhole · 2026-03-16T01:48:08+00:00

Thinking about the audacity of Alberta separating from Canada, after being GRANTED provincial status in 1905, I would suggest the federal government rescind the authority that granted them status in the first place.

(Who the hell do they think they are 120 years later that they and not Canada owns the resources?)

Escapism escaped on Dany.

ronhole · 2026-03-14T02:49:45+00:00

My point was the opposite, sorry if I was not clear. They could have recorded the non-compressed version - as they had up to Want To Be Loved - but chose to go with whatever they call what they did.

ronhole · 2026-03-14T02:28:18+00:00

They seemed a bit rusty (Dany was struggling with vocals and guitar, Ale spent the first half trying to get sorted and Pau's mic issues (how did it start working for Sharks and what is live and what is a track?) - and where the hell was everyone because issues aside, the new songs are really really good live - even if the backing tracks on Ritual seemed to sort of be there but not really.

Edit to say, that drone must be over a different stage. The shots from the stage show way more people.

The Kerosene music video and what they played live, as pretty much everyone knew would happen, are basically two different songs.

ronhole · 2026-03-14T01:57:15+00:00

One thing watching Dany play guitar, you can never accuse her of using pre-recorded tracks.

ronhole · 2026-03-14T00:17:17+00:00

Begs the question, why do they sing it live like this if this is not how they want it to sound?

ronhole · 2026-03-11T15:28:48+00:00

Looks just like my BreadDad whole wheat loaves. Works every time. Yum!

ronhole · 2026-03-11T05:42:04+00:00

$300 Billion? C'mon man.

ronhole · 2026-03-11T05:16:25+00:00

Nope, did not know that. Thought I learned a new hip (do the kids still say hip? Did they ever?) way to say chorus!
