  • I am just blown away that they can play their songs in one go.

    It’s one thing to do it in studio where you can record in whole or in part and restart or cut back in parts. To do their songs in concert is legendary.

    I wish I could see them live but I’m way further away from any big city now so they won’t be close to me. Years ago my mom got free box tickets from her work to see them in Vancouver and took my sister. Mom had no idea who they were and other employees were mad she won them but my sister enjoyed the show.


  • You missed having less voting machines and staff at polling stations in lower income, highly populated areas and more machines and staff at higher income areas so that it is easy to vote when rich and harder to get through the line when poor is another hurdle they ruling class like to do.

    If you have to get to your second job or pickup your kid from school then you don’t have time to stand in a 2 hour line up to vote. Especially when this time there will be ICE agents and other racist scum pressuring people just trying to do their democratic duty.


  • He doesn’t like being the center of attention. It is pretty well known that he performs from the back of the stage.

    The guitarist and bassist were asked why they didn’t move around much while performing, they replied they were busy counting which is no surprise when you listen to the polyrhythms that Danny Carey is drumming out.

    When a set is a constant change in time signatures for multiple 10 to 15 minute songs I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to keep it going for hours, much less trying to also dance around.








  • I was getting overworked, every other branch of this old company had two people doing the job I was doing. I had a system to get most of my work done except some I would finish the next morning before the next day’s work arrived. Instead of asking me in person what I was doing my boss finished my work that afternoon after I left then covered my keyboard in paperwork and left a post it note on my screen saying essentially “wtf is this?”

    It was very unprofessional and I quit after I got a job with a bigger company with a 40% pay bump where I now contact my old boss to tell her that I need her to do tasks for my new company.








  • I found that knowing how the clutch works help me visualize what I needed to do to get the car moving. I fucked up a transmission back in 2000.putting it in gear without pressing the clutch down enough so I stayed away for a few years. When I got a brand new car years later I went back to manual and practiced on a small slope until I got the clutch balance just right and could do super steep hills without even hitting the brake.

    You have a spinning plate on the motor and a non spinning plate on the transmission, you press the clutch to separate the plates temporarily, lock the non moving plate into a gear then slowly push the plates back together slowly enough that the moving plate will speed up. If you don’t do it fast the slow plate stalls the spinning plate. Balance the plates then you won’t stall, do it on a hill and balance it and you can keep the car in a state of not stalling but not moving either, do it wrong and you cook the clutch.
