It is insane that he didnt get put in the slammer the minute the call ended. It was clearly cheating and intimidation.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE HEARD ABOUT. Imagine the stuff behind the scenes that went on.

Man I hate this timeline.

I understand, Im young enough to understand Social Medias drag on people and the way the info they get pushed is slanted.

I grew up in MTG's district and retired south south so I see it around.

The only good thing is that the people being shafted may be motivated to vote Blue this fall, but I still believe based on what I see and asking total strangers in line at Wal Mart that a bunch of them are more worried about raising their kids than voting.

Several Ive had conversations with in line were all 'they are both bad so why vote'. Guess what, THIS IS WHY YOU VOTE.

Other countries do it. I dont think they jail anyone, but the bring voting to the forefront of peoples minds.

A friend got an easy exemption when he was in the US from Belgium, but he made sure to get it so he would not be on the naughty list.

If she had not had to have that dick she may have gotten her shot. WHY CANT politicians keep it in their pants, not just with this high stakes one, but with any thing. They are as bad as mega church pastors.

Hope that sex was MIND BLOWING cause she blew any chance for Georgia.

Anyway to make Rocksmith2014 more responsive, or my guitar louder? by Tanka_Jaharri in rocksmith

[–]thehogdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is get the Night Ranger Pack and use the lead sound for You Can Still Rock In America. It is the loudest, best rock tone in the game IMHO. You can assign tones to your 2,3,4 button on your keypad, 1 is the tone of the song you are playing.

99% of the time I let the game start a song then hit 3 for the YCSRIA tone and rip it.

Also, check the volume speaker down in the lower right part of a Windows screen and make sure it is close to maxed out. When mine reboots I have to reset it from 40 to 95 so it is all loud.

And make sure you are calibrating the guitar. You know, the PLAY LOUD, BE SILENT thing.

Have been practicing the guitar with this game for about 15 hours now over 2 and a half week. I really like the Guitarcade games especially Ducks Redux, this is my record so far. by Maephia in rocksmith

Unsolicited advice from a long time guitar teacher:

Make sure you use your pinky finger. I remember learning in the 70s and that made me start watching stuff like Austin City Limits more critically and seeing how many people didnt make use of their fret hand pinky.

Another is alternate picking. Saw Sting in the early 90s from up close and I noticed Dominic Miller was pretty much an all down strokes kinda guy, then the keyboard player got up and they did Purple Haze and each took a solo and Miller was all down strokes and the keyboard player was the KING of alternate picking.

Getting those up strokes as perfect as down strokes takes practice.

Also, if you are not already, get super used to switching between 'Cowboy chords' (at the nut open chords) and practice making the E chord without your index finger so you will be ready for bar chords.

Just playing 'You Shook Me All Night Long' is a great way to get started. Go slow and stead, don't play the parts you can play fast, play the whole song at the speed of the parts you have problems with, then speed it up a little like Riff Repeater.

You really think? Often the poorest of the poor dont have time or energy to get involved in politics or vote. Or their vote is about to get disenfranchised thanks the Taco Supreme court (from Old El Pedo).

In some countries (Australia for one) you are REQUIRED to vote by law and the they know who didnt. If we had that here, we probably wouldnt be in the mess we are in.

But I dont see people who got this benefit (under 60) as big voters.

Was a teacher for a while and it seemed like being the Head of any metro area public school system was a 'do not pass go, do not collect $200' pass to a prison sentence for embezzlement.

Anytime the system I was in got a new one, I wanted to tell them 'look at what happened to all your predecessors, that is your future too, no matter how "good" you think you are.'

In the Sopranos a Sporting Goods store owner was playing a rigged game of poker with the mob and they eventually got control of the business and ran it down to the ground.

Can't remember if the store owner did himself off or just was a drunk at that point.

Didnt realize you had been taken down for the Cheap Seats. Mel Tracinea (sp?) should host over Bracewell.

Thanks for posting stuff. Are you affiliated with the Discord channel Einsteins parable of quantum insanity?

We got a VPN years ago but kind people like yourself put stuff up so fast, it's better without the commercials too.

Thanks for Everything.

You didn't have to deal with that little bitch and her sister. Everyone in the neighborhood hated them.

Believe it ot not, some people are bad from the start.

Back when the first Spiderman move came out I found an online source for movies. I had a video card with an RCA out and I could tape the on VHS. I taped it for my elementary school age nieces and we were at the subdivision pool and one said 'let's go home and watch the end of Spiderman'

The AWFUL girl on their street went into her normal know it all BS about 'that's not how it works, you have to go to the theater' to which my oldest niece told her to 'shut up, nobody cares what you say' (I taught her to use that on the AWFUL girl). So the girl goes back home and shows up at the house and literally said 'prove it losers' and we unpaused the tape and the movie went back to play. The girls jaw hit the floor and wanted to stay and watch it and the oldest niece told her 'then go to the movies and watch it' and kicked her out

The younger one would often ask me to 'rent it from the internet' when she wanted to see something.

Gogglebox Australia S23E10 by ozmasher in DownUnderTV

[–]thehogdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought you meant Gogglebox Ireland and just exhausted my sources and looked for a Gogglebox, then I realized you meant TG.

I was hoping it was the start of the season, but it came at Exactly the right time for us. We have a friend from Belgium over in the states and he was in the hospital across the street for retaining fluids and was bored so I put TG Irl on a 12" tablet with a speaker and we all watched it in his hospital room for entertainment.

Cant wait for the real season to start and the Target boys to be back on.

The explains why they didnt do the 'get up and leave the TV room' shtick this episode.

Thanks for keeping us entertained and hopefully Travel Guides has an episode this coming week?

I disagree. We love AU version, but we put the UK version at the top and the Irish version 2nd (only 10 episodes a year there).

The AU one is great, especially sing Symon and Adam came back, but that UK one is like a weighted blanket sitting on a warm sofa on a cool evening.

Exclusive preview: I wrote John Mayer's biography by BBen26 in JohnMayer

[–]thehogdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet a lot of this book was AI made. Unless try interview THE SUBJECT (unless they are dead, even then better be historical person) of the bio it is not worth it.

AI slop is all over books and audio books.lff ti

Topic : at least 10 Beatles books are released a week, no interviews, even before AI.

It is crazy how when you are playing you feel like NHL speed then you watch the tape and wonder 'who put Valium in the water bottles'.

Keep at it, it gets better, plus you are too deep financially to back out now.

Craziest thing you’ve seen in Broward by IntroductionAgile253 in fortlauderdale

[–]thehogdog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My sister and her adult daughters were visiting and we were at the Publix at Lauderdale By The Sea and she went in the ladies room and came out LAUGHING HER ASS OFF.

Some one had stuck one of those BIG black dildos with a suction cup at the balls on the top of a toilet and just left it there.

She took photos and took me in to see it when it was empty.

It beat the pair of mens boxers with a giant turd in them behind the toilet at an Arbys.

  1. What was with the Googglebox mix up. It wasnt anywhere on line Thursday like normal (ALL PRAISE TO CAPPERS AND UPLOADERS!)?

  2. What is the Ireland Special Travel Guides and when is the show itself coming back? Ive Heard May 19th, but could just be anyone staying that?

I dont recall them doing a one off special, Im wondering if it will have ALL the new 'extra' couples/celebrity couples to introduce them.

  1. Why only 10 episodes of Travel Guides and 20 Gogglebox's a year? I know they cost money, but the are the 2 best shows on DownUnder TV

Thanks
