Posted by LSU Wayne on 2/22/24 at 8:49 am

Before I realized this was a national problem I called AT&T customer service to see if they could do anything. She just called me back and they literally have zero talking points for this problem. She said “I can tell you what a recent customer explained to me. The customer is a self proclaimed majo...

re: Boiled shrimp - shells sticking

Posted by LSU Wayne on 11/7/23 at 8:44 am

For boiling shrimp I find I have to really over season the water to allow the shrimp to soak it up. You can’t let the shrimp soak in even moderately hot water for too long or the shells will stick. So I make the water extra spicy. Another method is to have a room temperature seasoned pot of wate...

I would be very surprised if actual biological entities have traveled the cosmos and visited earth. I think much more likely is some form of artificial intelligence controlled vehicle of some sort could have or is currently visiting earth for any of a variety of reasons ...

Posted by LSU Wayne on 7/26/23 at 7:09 am

And here’s an early mix of the complete suite of Shine on you crazy diamond. It combines both halves of the song. I like the lonely four notes early in this version. I also like the slightly extended funky bits on the back end of this version. [link=(https://youtu.be/sjEdbuCu6IY)]Shine on early ...

Dark side of the moon early mix

Posted by LSU Wayne on 7/26/23 at 7:05 am

Since Waters seems hell bent on butchering this album with his remake I thought I’d share an early mix from before it became a final product. Some things good. Some not so good. But interesting listen if you are a fan and haven’t heard it before. I actually quite like most of Us and Them and Eclipse...
