  • Well, that’s great. It’s very easy to make this about you and fail to see what many others face. I hope you never have to face the brutal hardships caused by not being in the right place with the right connections and the other life circumstances that can lock people into a life of deeper or generational poverty. But it could be the tide just hasn’t risen to a level with your head barely above the turbulence stuck treading water with no way out. In an instant, everything could get turned upside down and through no fault of your own, now the world is a different place all of a sudden. But it’s not any different, you’ve just joined the millions of others who got the rug pulled from beneath them earlier than you.

    I too have been quite successful in life through hard work, discipline and the right life situations that gave me the opportunities to carve my own path in life doing what I love. I can still see how things have collapsed and I would never question the validity of the millions of others simply because my life experience has been different. This alone makes you venerable to being pushed to the front of the line next.

    Modded version of youtube app that let’s you kill all the ads, among many other wonderful features. However, every 6 months or so, youtube does something where the videos stop loading effectively killing the app. I usually switch between vanced and revanced every 6 or so months because one has so far always worked when the other gets the axe. By the time that one goes down, the other one is back up and running.






  • I was definitely being cheeky but there’s no doubt they were a globally huge band at the time. Even in 95-96ish, 10 y/o me had the Morning Glory album as did most of my friends in our chilly little Wisconsin, USA town. I think we all thought they would end up far more influential in the future. Whatever lasting impression they made on the music scene, and no doubt they did just that, I don’t think it was quite the impact the whole world thought they would make back then. In the same breath, here we are still talking about them nearly 30 years later.




  • I love em’. Better than anything else on TV imo. I love a full breakdown of an analog horror ARG or an internet mystery rabbit hole deep dive. And usually because ots just one dedicated creator with no deadline/boss/focus group/format to appease, they have so much more character, charm and uniquenes… There’s no studio who could hold my attention with the cookie cutter slop on any of the streaming platforms.






  • I would LOVE to get one of those. I make a lot of custom rack mount panels for audio and video carts for film/television production and there have been too many times where I thought of some special part that could open up a whole world of entirely new build options for me but that thing/part just doesn’t exist. One day I’ll have one to play with… it’s high up there on the list.
