OT: 10,000 Pt XLIV - Guitar Things

[The Nemesis]

This whole thing feels incredibly legally dubious and likely to collapse on itself without warning. It reminds me of a sort of jailbroken satellite receiver that my family shelled out for like 10-15 years ago that was able to get Dish signals without geo restrictions and Bell's satellite service in Canada and the full batch of PPV broadcasts without paying as well. It was great and I was able to watch Sharks games on FSN Bay Area or whatever the channel was at the time (which meant local commercials too so I was able to get the stuff that became memeable here like Happy Pony or Steve the Doer) and then like 2 or 3 years in the security loophole that allowed the dishes to get the access codes was closed and they just became expensive bricks.

So assuming that's a good argument (which I think it is), the question becomes what is the breakeven point where the $400 you plunk down for the device balances out what you would have paid for subscription fees before you have to swallow your pride and go back to the previous model.

I used to love watching the Cubs feeds and hearing Harry Carey between innings. We had a similar setup in Florida because no cable available...

Goodie will always get a mention because of the OT goal though so he’ll always have that. He’s this generation’s Jamie Baker with the constant talk about the one goal.

To be on topic: Oreo Coke Zero is not good.

Fair enough, but Goodie didn't actually get a mention... feels like Vlassic hitting lead off there is the comic relief.

Oreo Coke Zero huh?

Feels like they're just putting random words together.

Did you ever put chocolate syrup in Cocacola? hahahahaah 7 year old me thinks this is a great idea!!!! (a LONG time ago)

Surf's up!!!

Surf's up!!!

First time we've gotten a tsunami warning in what, almost 15 years?

 

[Timo Time]

Got the 7.0 alert and thought, "Ahhh shit here we go." Ended up not feeling anything here in Sunnyvale

That sounds about right. I'm working in office nearish to the embarcadero. I didn't feel anything. Everyone in the office's phone blowing up with the warning certainly didn't help produce and atmosphere of calm. My mom said she felt it up in Lakeport.

Closer to Eureka, I’m sure people a bit further north felt it. We just might get some after effects.

 

[WTFetus]

Looks like legitimate tsunami warnings in the North Bay.
Didn’t feel anything here.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Stay safe y'all.

 

[slocal]

Tsunami warnings cancelled

That's gnarly dude!

Friend near coast said quake was two minutes of rolling. They had one minute advanced notice from warning system.

BART closed transbay tube. And removed trains from underground stations due to tsunami warning.

 

[Cas]

I completely slept through this, woke up to see people talking about a tsunami warning (uh oh), and then finally saw the details (ah ok, not quite far enough south).

 

[hohosaregood]

Anybody else wanna share their Spotify wrap up or any other year in review things

I'm still in the process of deciding my top ten albums of 2024, I'll post it here when I'm done.

Nothing absolutely blew me away this year, but there were more than a few surprises - the really good Dale Earnhardt-themed speed metal album being the biggest surprise.

Restrictor Plate? Or another band
