The way I hear it, Maxx actually fucked up. He hit Kirk on his throwing arm as he was throwing and they said it happened twice. Kirk had to let him know. And of course Maxx is Maxx lol he ain’t gonna let Kirk Cousins get in his face.

Mendoza got a day to practice with all the starters though, so kind of a blessing in disguise lol.

Injections always annoy me. Shanking people in the neck with ridiculously fat needles. Or how bout Pulp Fiction where they stab her through the sternum? Also going in the arm, but the angle’s totally wrong and they’d basically be stabbing right through the vein lol

Pulling people out of a burning building. In reality the smoke and fire is so bad, you ain’t seeing shit, not like the clear visibility like they show in the movies. And I spoke to a firefighter who’d been doing it for 35 years. The guy was teaching fire safety at my workplace. He said he responded to thousands of burning buildings and the number of times anyone’s been saved out of a burning building? Exactly zero. That always stuck with me.

Nah, that’s a normal feeling towards job interviews I think lol. Especially the interviews where it’s a panel vs. you. Everybody gets anxious to some extent. And it doesn’t go away just because you’ve been doing this for decades. Take it easy, one at a time. Don’t sweat it.

Nice! The Raiders will get the first game if the UFA kicker “Tokyo Toe” makes the team.

It’s whatever as long as the women aren’t too young. Like I’ve seen sleazy stuff in SEA and old dudes dating 18-early 20s year olds is fucked up. I don’t care if it’s legal and consented to. Their brains aren’t even fully developed at that age.

Yeah the Ravens are looking very shady. I’m thinking they got buyer’s remorse. We’ll see if the Bears’ or Cowboys’ offers still stand.

Master class by Spytek, and the Jets get their Tank Commander!

Nice! I was waiting to see who the Ravens would hire because it seemed Ravens and Raiders were both looking at the same HC candidates. That still leaves us Kubiak or Webb. I’d be happy with either.

It’s interesting too that Mike McDaniel has yet to put pen to paper with the Chargers. 👀

18 year old upload still around. Noice. Song is from their 1982 album Troops of Tomorrow. Still relevant🤘🏼

 

TLDR: Cities are allowing developers to re-zone retail units that go un-leased. They can then be converted into live-work studios so people can run businesses from home ie. an artist running a home studio, a massage therapist taking clients, a home daycare, etc. Seems this could really help with California’s chronic housing crisis.

Lesser known song. Sounds like a cross between a nursery rhyme and a drinking/pub song. Someone in the comments said it sounds like a Monty Python song, which is bang on😁

Album: The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter (1968)

Genre: British psychedelic folk


Straight on the shoulder, I think like a soldier
I know what's right and what's wrong
(He knows what's right and what's wrong)

I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
And I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
(He'll do what's wrong as long as he can)

I live in a labyrinth under the sea
Down in the dark, as dark as can be
I like the dark as dark as can be
(He likes the dark as dark as can be)

I'll even attack you or eat you whole
Down in the dark my bone mills roll
Porridge for my porridge bowl
(Porridge for his porridge bowl)

[Chorus x2]
I'm strong as the earth from which I'm born
(He's strong as the earth from which he's born)
I can't dream well because of my horns
(He can't dream well because of his horns)

A minotaur gets very sore
His features they are such a bore
His habits are predictable
Aggressively reliable, bull, bull

[Chorus]

I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
(He'll do what's wrong as long as he can)

As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can
As long as he can

Huzzah!

Just found them! Solid recent melodeath. I’ll just quote the metalcrypt review bc those guys are way better writers than me lol.

Æolian have quietly gone about making the most exciting and impressive melodic death metal in ages since their 2018 debut, Silent Witness, without a whole lot of fanfare, partly because they're located in the tiny Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain, and the only real difference with their latest release, Echoes of the Future, is that it's refined almost to complete perfection. Sure, they've never been a very original band, as their mission statement is to pay tribute to the past greats of Scandinavian melodeath like Dissection, Children of Bodom, and Eternal Tears of Sorrow among others, but who gives a rat's ass about that if they're capable of matching them at the heights of their unholy power? This is a band that understands it's all about crafting instantly hooky melodies to go with endlessly catchy songwriting, and they do it with startling professionalism and passion as they give as much reverence to the glory days of the Swedish scene as they do the Finnish, like with the face-ripping opener "Hominis Obscura," the folky "Dreams of Reality," the—actually, I'll stop right there because I'd be reading off the whole damn track list at this rate. You want to know what makes melodic death metal great even now, decades after people got sick of it? Just slap this sucker in and be blown away by how little you need to reinvent a wheel when you know how to steer it down the path of greatness. Definitely a contender for Best of 2023.

Don’t really frequent it all that much. Not sure when this happened

Tapped “Subscribe” out of curiosity and of course it works. Wow -.-

 

On Monday, the Los Angeles Press Club and the investigative reporting site Status Coup filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles and the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department in federal court, alleging that officers at the demonstrations are routinely violating journalists' rights.

Happy to hear this! Plenty of video evidence that the whole world watched.
