In Chicago for work this week and thinking I'll say an extra night for Objekt.
I'm wondering what time do headliners come on? Where I'm from 4am clubs aren't a thing. Would it be expected that he come on at 12 and play to 2? Kia is also in the mix, I guess it could be Kia 12-2 and Objekt 2-4 ... Any thoughts here much appreciated.
As well, anything to know about smartbar? Looks like a great club, with a sick sound system.
What an absolute party. Vibes immaculate. I came in with modest expectations. Losing two members and ben factor I wasn't sure what to expect. I was blown away.
Zwang held it down for sure. With the 5 piece everyone else needs to deliver and they rose to the occasion, even literally for Joel, who having been to 50 shows I don't think I've ever seen him standing up rocking out as much as he did. And he had an incredible solo that was killer af and got the crowd really going.
Bayliss is a true rock star. Man what a talent. He was looser than I'd seen him previously, especially so with his microphone asides it seemed he was having a great time. And the range he displayed was stunning, he can truly do it all. Divisions was probably my highlight track, and the opener they played but I'm not sure the name. Puppet was classic as well, and Prowler encore just a cherry on top of a delightful evening.
So glad I made it out tonight. I've followed this band since 2007, caught numerous two and three night runs over the years. They announced that this was their 30th show at First Ave and I bet I made at least 20 of those. Umphrey's is as strong now as they've ever been and for a Sunday night show to be packed to the rafters speaks to their fans going nowhere either.
Long live the UMPH, can't wait for the next one.
Howdy folks, was considering biking to the fair for the first time this year. I’ll have about a 30 mile commute and would prefer to take my carbon road bike. It’s something I’m really protective of and am generally worried leaving it out of sight. Does anyone have experience with the bike corrals they offer? I’m reading the FAQ it says they’re like a coat check. Is it pretty official? Would you second guess leaving a $5k setup with them? Thanks in advance.
Been stacking a long time, not new to this, but I don't buy graded Libertads often so I want a gut-check before I pull the trigger.
Chance to grab 20x 2015-Mo 1oz Libertads, all PCGS MS69, all from one submission, cert prefix 542498.69 with serials running back to back. One owner, graded together, never split up.
The issue: the slabs are sun-damaged. Labels faded, plastic's gone yellow/hazy. Looks like these sat in a window for years. Coins themselves look clean through the holder, no milk spots I can spot in hand or in photos.
At ~2x spot that's $115-120/coin, ~$2,300+ for the lot. Seller is quoting several recent ebay transactions at/above $140. That's the number I'm questioning.
Basically pondering:
Y'all aren't realizing the number one rule to designing consumer electronics. Don't blow your stack on the first iteration. And even subsequent releases will always be lacking just enough to make room for the next one. The battery life, sensor generation, band material and especially size were carefully chosen to make it just barely consumable enough today, but crappy enough to surely feel old 6-9 months from now when version two will be incrementally better and the cycle surely repeats.
Imagine if it was small, imagine if they had redesigned the sensor, imagine if the battery had been engineered to sip as slowly as the Fenix but without a screen, imagine if the band was durable. You might not need to upgrade for a long, long time. Publicly traded company's shareholders would kindly take Garmin executives behind the toolshed to think of another way to wring out the rag that is their customer's walletshare.
Isn't this kind of thing usually announced while touring? Could you imagine the demand they could have created by saying "last tour with Jake" or something to that effect?
Something doesn't smell right.
Hi, I’m a former oz/week smoker got into the dab scene this and that now moved back to MN and it’s legal and want to partake.
I haven’t had any THC for probably 3 or 4 years as I stopped smoking anything for the harm it causes lungs. But can someone point me to some quality gummies? My coworker said to find some that are “live rosin” which I have no idea about.
For dosage I feel like I’m a total noob again but I could probably handle 10mg. Maybe I’d start with half. Basically I’m trying to avoid the cheap gas station junk and wondering if someone has a good source I can pick up recreationally that is a legit/official/high quality edible for pick up in the west metro.
Thanks for your help 🤙
Mostly a camera noob I have an old T3 Rebel that has gotten me through the years. I’ve inherited some camera items and understand this camera is one of the nicer ones. It came with a Tamron 17-70.
I’m considering selling it but not really sure what I have. Mostly it seems just too bulky for my needs of taking pics and videos at my kids sports or hiking. I couldn’t imagine taking a setup like this hiking. It seems it would get in the way but I’d also be afraid I’d break it.
Any guidance to a total beginner? For the time being I’ll probably hold onto it and mess around with but is there a good lens setup that’s super thin and not crazy expensive? How do people go about hiking and not seeming like paparazzi when out and about with a camera like this?
That must be a highly competitive gig. I mean if they opened it up they'd probably have hundreds of applicants, perhaps dozens that are qualified. Of course Jake is one of a kind, really the reason I fell in love with this band back in 2007, but hey, there's someone out there who's life ambition is to shred with the best. And shred we shall.
It was good while it lasted. I’m sure this card works for some but I’ve just found it more difficult to get the bonuses. StubHub was easy enough to use and I usually get the travel credit. But the edit doesn’t come close to FSR that is easier for me to use on my Amex plat and I just can’t justify two annual fees.
I will be missing the primary rental car insurance. And I’m so glad to be done with DoorDash, food delivery is a horrible thing to happen to society. Other than business meals I eat out 2-3x a month and savor the experience. I used to DD 2-3x a week. Foods always cold by the time it arrives, it’s a crazy amount more expensive, and you get no exposure to social life that is what makes the restaurant experience true to me.
Anyway, as someone who once considered this the best deal in all of credit cards and has spent well over $1m on it since opening the account, I will surely remember fondly the good times we had. Apparently the service rep I just talked to didn’t see it that way and there’s no retention bonus to be had. So have fun yall it’s been real.
