Music: Sharing and Listening - The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between
Heh reminds me of the lawless days of the late 70's - early 80's. I used to sit in front of my boombox, the Record and Pause buttons already pushed, waiting for my favorite jams to come on the radio and slamming the Pause again to unpause and start recording, only the have the DJ talk over the last 30 seconds. Good times. I filled up multiple cases with my fire mix tapes: Maybe they should make on onlyfans, but for aspiring musicians. 🤔

Things change with the times. Im sure the tablet carvers were sad when writing took over, then writers were sad when the printing press took over, then printers were sad when things went digital, and digital will be sad when the next technology takes over. And dont even get me started on the decimation of the horse and buggy industry. Everyone that gets phased out of anything will be sad.- Music: Sharing and Listening - The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between

Heh, I couldnt upload my CD's into Apple music fast enough...begone physical mediums! Why do you feel that the death of CD's has destroyed the industry? Imo, it opened up huge sales possibilities by giving the consumer the ability to instantly purchase anything they want.- Cinema and Movie Thread: flickering images

Im not fully following the details of the latest bombardment. Afaik, Ukraine has a total of two Patriot batteries (one from US, one from Germany) and each battery holds a maximum of four interceptors at once. Even if Ukraine had both batteries parked on top of each other, how did they rip of 20+ interceptors?- Military Thread: “An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.”

You probably already know but Kraken comes in the normal 90 proof (45% ABV) and 94 proof (47% ABV). Theres 19 versions of the limited edition: Kraken® Attacks Collection | New Limited Edition Bottle (krakenrum.com) Looks like the promotion ended in 2021, which explains why the bottle was covered in duct when I found it.- Random/Interesting/Weird

We finished painting and decorating the master bathroom and it turned out really nice. I love my new toilet paper holder with the flat surface on top for my phone. Had the family over yesterday for Mothers Day lunch so I grilled some brats and sausages and everyone brought over a plate of appetizers.- The New Drinking Thread
