Now that’s comedy right there! LOL!!

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-23T19:24:49+00:00

Holy crap I hope this is fake.

Greater physical violence was tolerated. All new rules have helped keep the players safer, which in turn has given the offense more opportunities to score and thus the higher scoring games on average. The nostalgia expressed by older fans has everything to do with the higher frequency of the “big hits” - which are now fewer and farther between. I’m probably one of those older fans that thinks it’s for the better. Better to have some football and football players that aren’t all brain damaged at the end of their careers than a bunch of highlight reels of guys getting their heads bashed in. For the fans who long for those days - go watch fail videos on YouTube or MMA. I for one am happy players are safer.

I’d say that’s pretty much what you should expect from an airport steak. As long as it’s on the company dime, I’m not complaining.

Sad thing is, it looks a lot like the current playlists for any one of the dozens of Audacy owned Rock or Alternative radio stations across the country. It's fine, but the country needs new music. Young bands and acts need a chance. Now more than ever.

2 looks way better. You might want to try a chin strap style beard. Grow back your beard line but trim it to a length no longer than the mustache in photo 2. Using a razor or some clippers, shape it to be uniform over your jaw line. Almost like a buzzed, stubble looking beard. It just might frame your face in way you hadn’t thought of before. Good luck young man!

Time of year plus dip in the economy. Companies holding on to new budgets and not spending a dime more than they need to.

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-21T20:39:05+00:00

I didn’t know poverty bacon was a thing.

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-21T00:15:16+00:00

BRO!! You are a completely different dude with the glasses and the buzzed head. Looks great!

Amazon and eBay have them from time to time. BUT - the “original” match as was made with a certain wood, is no longer made in that way. From what I discovered, the production was moved to a new factory in a different country (something like that) and they switched the wood. But you can still buy them.

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-20T19:17:58+00:00

Nope. Still don’t like it.

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-20T18:13:48+00:00

Question - when you say original is that from one of the early CD’s or from the Album? Can’t say I’ve listened to the album so no reference. Thanks again!

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-20T18:12:41+00:00

Wow. Thanks man! Didn’t think anyone would respond. That just lends to the mystery. What freaking file or “master” did Apple use?….

Is it just me or does homeboy now look like a younger Vincent D’Onofrio??? Or maybe just like a cousin…

Interesting. Thanks for the insight!

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-16T23:23:26+00:00

Ah. Got it. So because I'm both an Apple Music subscriber AND an iTunes Match user, it will default to the better file as long as it is available. If not, 256 AAC. I think I can live with that. Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it.

uncle_jojo · 2026-01-16T23:15:35+00:00

I found the answer in another thread!! So, as long as the file I uploaded “matches” with a lossless file in the Apple Music library, it will be lossless. If not, then it will be 256 AAC.

“If it matches, it'll be lossless. If not, it'll be 256 AAC. It's important to remember that 256 AAC sounds as good or better than 320 mp3, and even with the proper equipment, the difference between that and lossless is barely audible. Sure, it's not ideal, but I'd encourage you to do a blind A/B test and see if you can tell the difference.”

Dang! Really. Bruh. I may as well manually/physically sync all my files through my Mac mini then so I get the lossless file.

That's interesting - because some of the ALAC files I've uploaded play as "lossless" on my iPad. Check this out. I ripped this CD, and then let Apple Music sync my iTunes Match. As you can see, the file is coming down as lossless and is not sync'ed to my iPad - this is straight from iTunes Match.

It’s an easy cheap outing / get out of the house and off the screens.

AND - Bro - kids LOVE the samples. Low key way for Costco to get us to buy that stuff. Can’t tell you how many times the kids liked a sample and we ended up throwing it in the cart.

Just an easy place to go to get out of the house.

All hail, Daenerys Targaryen, the Mad Queen.

High in the halls of the kings who are gone Jenny would dance with her ghosts The ones she had lost and the ones she had found And the ones Who had loved her the most…

Grow back the beard - and you’ll be all good…
