White trash me: what’s the issue?

Same, buddy. We used to do this, except it was three quarters lemonade and a quarter whatever cheap liquor everyone brought. So you’d have whiskey, both light and dark rum, vodka (lots of vodka) tequila, gin if one specific guy showed up… Pretty much anything cheap.

Trash cans are not safe to drink out of.

Yep. It’s like 90% forum nonsense. Not that there aren’t valuable opinions or experts in forums, but it’s much easier for me to look at a conversation as a whole there and make judgements based on that rather than just getting “This is the most said thing on Reddit about this topic”.

A buddy of mine was attempting to use it to organize (not add to, not build) his music studio. It kept suggesting he get better room treatment. He didn’t have it listed because he was only trying to organize his gear. It predicted that because in every studio forum the advice consensus is to spend money on better room treatment before getting a new preamp or whatever. Then it would ask things like “Would you like me to outline how a ribbon mic would help on guitar cabinets?”

He eventually just built his own spreadsheet.

Yep. And the club should be in trouble for employing a 17 year old.

I once purchased floor mats for my specific car brand. Years ago. For months it tried selling me new floor mats for every brand of car in the world. I still occasionally get an email asking if I want floor mats for cars I’ve never owned. Like I’m the mat collector or some shit.

My buddy still has one of those in his garage.

Oh bullshit. It’s one of the most used and most effective voter suppression tactics. Do you know how many people don’t vote because “Texas is red, so it doesn’t matter”?

It affects statewide races. Anyone telling you it doesn’t is either ignorant or a complete piece of shit trying to convince you of something.

Why are you inspecting pantless Greeks?

That’s how I stay young. I’ve been 29 for years.

Yeah, that’ll do it!

Honestly, the most surprising part is I was driving at that hour. I work from home so usually I roll out of bed at 745 and start working. If I get in the truck it’s usually late afternoon to pick stuff up from home Depot or haul gear so that’s why I disabled the control for automatically setting the volume. By the time I’m in the truck I’m ready to jam. Except that one day.

That was the Death Caps. They’re a bit more survivable than Destroying Angel, but I wouldn’t want to eat either of them.

Not as hard as either of y’all’s, but it happened to me with Clutch, The Mob Goes Wild. Alt-metal/stoner rock. That’s a fun song playing through my helmet at full blast riding the motorcycle through the countryside. Not as cool when I crank up the truck at 6am the next morning and it continues playing from my phone automatically.

Stop giving out my secrets, L. Ron.

I love reading about Death Cap mushrooms and their cousin, Destroying Angel. By the time symptoms appear, you’ve already got irreversible damage. Specifically for Destroying Angel, as of 2016 there was about a 50 percent survival rate, but by 2023 that number had jumped to 85-90%. There’s no antidote. Mostly treatment is to hydrate the absolute fuck out of you so that you’re peeing out the toxin and pumping you full of electrolytes. The key to survival is detecting it as soon as possible.

Full of whiskey.

PMC bought out BandLab several years ago. They’re the ones that got the majority share (51%) when BandLab got the minority.

My oldest son, Stetson, was picking on his youngest brother, Resistol, until the two middle children, Akubra and Master Hatters of Texas stepped in.

That looks a lot like where I grew up, except nicer.

To be honest it’s just a guess. But that’s what happens to tech. They start up a company that never becomes profitable but take in VC cash, then sell off to a big guy and go on to do it again.
