Voting for a US president isn't voting for a spiritual leader, pretend best friend you want to grab a beer with or public relations ambassador, at least it shouldn't be. We hire another citizen to steer the country in a direction closest in alignment with were we want to be. I'm not surprised a NY real estate billionaire treats problems and people like a mid grade a-hole, but he recognizes most of the same problems as I do. Good enough. Higher gas prices to frick Iran for a generation? Sux, but ok. When Biden era prices were high, what were we even trying to achieve? Carbon neutrality? An appeased Greta thunberg? frick it, let him cook, still better than any democrat on deck.

Oh, Canada

Canada looking kinda silly right now, maybe we throw them an out so we can get back to the table:

Not sure about tryharderism, tube powered amps respond a certain way when cranked, move air in the cabinet differently than a digital, precisely regulated signal.

There's something distinct in the sound. That's what's being 'modeled' digitally.

If 'close enough' or good enough works for you, excellent. It's not snobbery to dig deeper into sound and playability dynamics. Strange thing to be in opposition of.

I'm sure modeling is getting better, but tubes have character that I can't see reproducing digitally. All my favorite tones are from tube amps. They're "alive' if that makes sense

Jerry Reed, old snowman himself, is a badass. Paul Kossoff from Free was a beast

I got Tix. Ive seen them a bunch over the years and it's always different and good. Saw the crowes outdoors at one of the BR casinos a few years back and they only played 45 minutes, but tickets were $20. At least this is indoors

Kinda similar situation here. You said she needs 24/7 care. What's her condition? That kind of care should have a diagnosis. Her doctor should be able to "prescribe" some form of care/assistance through Medicare as part of her condition. If you don't mind the govt seizing all her asset, that should get her into some kind of home. My dad passed recently and he was caretaker for my mom, who has dementia. We were woefully unprepared and are still struggling to work through all the issues, legal control of their assets to maintain her care. My brother, sister and I keep her a week at a time 24/7 for now. We've been able to hire people my dad used for under $25/hr to smooth out the schedule. It sucks and I feel for you bro. Best of luck
I had a us strat with the gilmore loaded pickguard and it was the best sounding guitar I've ever owned. I regret selling it every time I pick up whatever junk I'm playing now
Without Mark Ford or Audley Freed, hard to get excited about them. I love the music, seen them a bunch over the years, grew up with it and went to the MS show last week. CR wasn't an arse like he usually is. Turns out he was saving it for the Florida show. He's sabotaged them every chance hes gotten. Dude with an album called Amorica doesn't like USA.
I guess we'll see. We should both bookmark this and revisit it in 6 months.
Just like Obama's deal but we get the uranium (to see where it came from), aggressive, unannounced inspections, agreement to quit building underground facilities, stop the proxy wars, we destroyed their navy, air force, radar capability, rocket launchers, their supreme leader, most of his family, the regime leadership and the relationship of all of its neighbors. Just like Obama did!

I'm not even sure he was going to kill Henry. The paranoia made everybody a coin toss away from losing everything. Either way Karen was right to walk away. Such a good movie.

When they're sitting in darkness, without desalinization for water, bridges collapsed, battalions isolated, I believe they'll eventually reconsider. When no one is getting paid, goods aren't moving, population starts not giving a shite about consequences from the regime, they'll reconsider. The average Iranian at this point is still going to work, watching tv and dining in cafes. Degrading their quality of life with bombs and blockades will eventually force something to happen. I don't think they're super optimistic at this point

You honestly think we have reached the maximum damage our military can inflict? That any further destruction would be pointless? Please. It has been surgical, for the most part. Tokyo, Dresden, Hamburg, this ain't that. So let's not pretend we shot our shot and failed.
This is controlled pressure, with way more throttle to go. We're looking for the tipping point, the civilian casualty over embedded hardliner cost to benefit ratio. I doubt over half the population is down with suicide for the sake of the guys who just executed thousands.

Trump & Iran

Posted by Jef75 on 5/4/26 at 8:27 pm
It seems to me that Trump is trying to give the Iranians time to sort out a surrender that doesn't require civilization ending casualties, otherwise they wouldn't have electricity.
It's crazy that people in this world don't care that tens of thousands of regular people will die if he's not patient, which they accuse of him of not being. The left, Europe, the weak right are trying to tempt him into being the thing they insist he is. Same bunch that are disappointed/betrayed he didn't go deep against nuclear-powered Russia.

Are we supposed to pretend that's not what's happening?
