  1. American power was indisputable in the 20th Century. The US helped win two World Wars, developed a resilient economy, and in 1991 emerged from the Cold War as the sole global superpower. But today the country is facing unprecedented polarization caused, in part, by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the 2008 financial crisis and the amplification of disinformation on social media. On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer asks former Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes whether the American Century is truly over, or if there's anything we can do to restore the country's reputation as a "shining city upon a hill." https://www.gzeromedia.com/gzero-world-with-ian-bremmer/is-american-democracy-in-danger

    Dune

    i think Prometheus was the last movie i saw in the theater. and well, we know how that turned out. might've seen Force Awakens in the theater but can't recall really. i'll go see Dune in the theater if possible. but on a monday at noon or something.
  3. fwp - having trouble deciding on outcomes of hypothetical situations and options.
  4. the robot is programmed to know which notes are the correct notes to pick because its creator endowed it w/such abilities. https://youtu.be/sa9MpLXuLs0
  5. i don't think you can load it all on one person's back but perhaps can point at drug use in the band and other factors like budget etc. i think bands, like marriages, have a "the honeymoon is over" period w/some members of the band and things change. who mixed/recorded the records probably has as much an impact too.
  6. Paul Barker was integral to the band during production/writing process afaik ? Paul Barker – bass, keyboards, programming, production, vocals (1986–2003)
  7. they had some members of the band leave. probably had some impact on production.
  8. should just merge the entire forum into 1 thread.
  9. someone should start a 2nd not corona virus thread to discuss what it's like now that it's all over.
  10. i heard he puts his phone in this guy's red wagon
  11. fckn nuts Florida makes up 20% of new US COVID-19 infections, White House officials say 4 states currently make up 40% of all cases https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2021/07/16/florida-makes-up-20-of-new-us-covid-19-infections-white-house-officials-say/
  12. went on a tandem sky dive in florida.. homestead which is south of miami by an hour. went w/GF of the time. got video and everything. 2 weeks later the plane crashed because they overloaded it. one of the skydive people was retiring so they were doing a big jump together and crammed 17 people on the plane. it stalled or something and like 10 of the skydivers died. some got out and were able to open their chutes... it was a 1-800-sky-dive thing. i guess that's alike a regional thing wherever you are it directs you to the closest participating sky dive company or whatever. edit: should add that when i was going to get on the plane i bumped my head on the wing. also on video.
  13. no idea. chances are your pirated copy is not dialing up the ableton server every time you launch it to do the handshake copy protection thing.. but if you're worried just uninstall the pirated version before you install the legit copy.
  14. was pretty steady for a while. i mean.. all these releases are not done w/a computer. but yeah.. he's due.. but also did Poemss and the Last Step stuff as A.Funk in there earlier too. i'm sure he's up to something. doesn't seem like a guy who takes breaks from making music.
  15. microwaves have fans w/filters? febreeze is foul. always has been. always will be. why.. why on earth did you soak anything that wasn't food in a frying pan? that pan is now garbage. for health and comfort you need a new frying pan.
