    Voting discussion thread

    Ergo with ESS, which I still contend handed Bush his 2nd term. Ohio voting irregularities that Lurch Kerry was too intimidated not to pursue.

    I may have told this story here before, so forgive me if anyone has heard it before. When I was in college (late 70s, early 80s), I picked up the cigarette habit during semesters. It seemed like it kept me focused on studying. We had smoking rooms in the library. I would fill up the ash...

    In the famous words of Jesse Winchester: "Twigs and seeds Twigs and seeds They sure don't deliver the punch that this old head needs" (And who can forget a burning seed popping and burning a hole in your favorite shirt or sweater).

    When I'm around a consumer these days, they seem to reek of cannabis, and I can smell them from across the room. I don't recall the weed we smoked in college to have that strong of an aroma.

    There is stuff coming out of Australia that is keeping rock and roll alive and well. King Gizzard's run thru just about all of the genres and making new ones up. And another band called The Drones......that led up to a band that I can't name directly on Tidefans, but is definitely worth a...

    The Fed Thread: FBI, CIA, NSA posts go here.

    It might not have been a hanging from a tree, but just as well was a lynching. James Byrd Jr. (May 2, 1949 – June 7, 1998) was an African-American man who was murdered by three men, two of whom were avowed white supremacists, in Jasper, Texas, on June 7, 1998. Shawn Berry, Lawrence Brewer, and...

    Charlie should play his greatest hits during the halftime show.

    I saw these guys live @ W C Don's in Jackson, MS back in the day(1987??) Probably the coolest and most outlandish cover of SImon and Garfunkel.

    Charlie would approve. I even heard from Squeaky Fromme and even she adores a good cover. She also verified that he don't surf. :D

    I'm all about covers. Done well covers. And change up the arrangement. Like Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt".

    I'm gonna continue my old-fart-get-off-my-lawn persona on this subject, but it is a fair bet that, 50 years from now, people are not going to be talking about Kendrick Lamar or Bad Bunny in the same way we talk about George Harrison, Zeppelin, The Beatles. I tried to watch Kendrick Lamar last...

    Have EVs Reached A Short-Term Peak?

    There is a young kid who uses one of those electric unicycles. Short things but they go about 30 MPH. He is always sneaking up on me on the trail. I just see bad outcomes from all these motorized 1 and 2-wheel vehicles.

    Have EVs Reached A Short-Term Peak?

    The problem I have with e-bikes is : What is their place? Are they too slow for regular traffic? I see them on the bike trails around here. I almost got run over more than once, the bike zipping by at 25-30MPH. I am pretty sure there will eventually be more and more...
