Do you recommend a particular instance?

Yeah, that was the dominant form of music distribution at the time.

So you haven't seen, for example, Cowboys From Hell by Pantera or Weathered by Creed, then? I don't think Vs is a particularly bad album cover, especially by comparison to those. The photography is fine. Maybe it's not your average Hipgnosis cover, but it's ok.

Yeah, that's a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I'm playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it's easier to move the root notes around that way.

Anything from Neutral Milk Hotel's album In an Aeroplane Over the Sea. The whole album is Guitar 101.

It's very, very costly, both but the hardware and the electricity it takes to run it. There may be a bit of sunk cost fallacy at play for some, especially the execs who are calling for AI Everything, but in the end, in AI doesn't generate enough increase in revenue to offset its operational costs, even those execs will bow out. I think the economics of AI will cause the bubble to burst because end users aren't going to pay money for a service that does a mediocre job at most things but costs more.

First, I didn't say the people shouldn't be respected. I said faith shouldn't be. It's the worst, least reliable way to draw conclusions about the world. A method that only ever produces falsehoods is not respectable. Why should I respect it?

Why should faith be respected?

I am bisexual and somewhat poly. With some of my friends I have a more publicly physical/intimate relationship. We may hold hands, hug, or kiss. In private, we cuddle and... do other things as well. I imagine the straights of Lemmy will largely tell you they don't cuddle their male friends while the queer folk will give a different answer.

Smooth? That song with Santana and Rob Thomas? Yeah that song's awful and always has been.

Why is this a survey? A survey is a tool used to approximate the distribution of opinions held among a population. What this survey is attempting to measure is a detectable fact, though. It would be more appropriate to do a statistical analysis of actual grocery costs over time.

Back in the day, the plant cannabis was referred to as "marihuana" to associate its use with Mexicans, who were (are?) often maligned as migrants, itinerants, etc. Those people could then be made the subject of racist laws and wind up arrested or deported.

This article goes into a couple explanations and offers a different one that's maybe less racist. https://www.sacurrent.com/cannabis/why-some-people-believe-marijuana-is-a-racist-word-and-why-it-doesnt-offend-me-31654627

I don't want thinner. I want more functionality. Don't expect me to pay 2 grand for a laptop with no external USB or HDMI ports, for which privileges I can pay an additional $100 or so. I'm frustrated enough by the lack of Ethernet jacks on my Lenovo. The last time I had a Mac (work shipped me one), I was even more frustrated by how bad the built in trackpad and keyboard were and the fact that using an external device to replace them came at a premium price.

Embarrassingly late, as usual.

That's because him shutting up for three consecutive seconds would be the smartest thing they ever heard.

How do you like my balls to your foot style?

Biden needs campaign ads calling Trump out for passing unconstitutional anti-gun legislation.

Didn't legalization in Colorado lead to less youth usage?

Tori Amos's Silent All These Years. That mercurial little piano riff. The painful lyrics. The liberation of the middle eight. It's a perfect song.
