Injections always annoy me. Shanking people in the neck with ridiculously fat needles. Or how bout Pulp Fiction where they stab her through the sternum? Also going in the arm, but the angle’s totally wrong and they’d basically be stabbing right through the vein lol

    Pulling people out of a burning building. In reality the smoke and fire is so bad, you ain’t seeing shit, not like the clear visibility like they show in the movies. And I spoke to a firefighter who’d been doing it for 35 years. The guy was teaching fire safety at my workplace. He said he responded to thousands of burning buildings and the number of times anyone’s been saved out of a burning building? Exactly zero. That always stuck with me.

    Nah, that’s a normal feeling towards job interviews I think lol. Especially the interviews where it’s a panel vs. you. Everybody gets anxious to some extent. And it doesn’t go away just because you’ve been doing this for decades. Take it easy, one at a time. Don’t sweat it.

    It’s whatever as long as the women aren’t too young. Like I’ve seen sleazy stuff in SEA and old dudes dating 18-early 20s year olds is fucked up. I don’t care if it’s legal and consented to. Their brains aren’t even fully developed at that age.

    Nice! I was waiting to see who the Ravens would hire because it seemed Ravens and Raiders were both looking at the same HC candidates. That still leaves us Kubiak or Webb. I’d be happy with either.

    It’s interesting too that Mike McDaniel has yet to put pen to paper with the Chargers. 👀

    TLDR: Cities are allowing developers to re-zone retail units that go un-leased. They can then be converted into live-work studios so people can run businesses from home ie. an artist running a home studio, a massage therapist taking clients, a home daycare, etc. Seems this could really help with California’s chronic housing crisis.

    Lesser known song. Sounds like a cross between a nursery rhyme and a drinking/pub song. Someone in the comments said it sounds like a Monty Python song, which is bang on😁

    Album: The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter (1968)

    Genre: British psychedelic folk


    Straight on the shoulder, I think like a soldier
    I know what's right and what's wrong
    (He knows what's right and what's wrong)

    I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
    And I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
    (He'll do what's wrong as long as he can)

    I live in a labyrinth under the sea
    Down in the dark, as dark as can be
    I like the dark as dark as can be
    (He likes the dark as dark as can be)

    I'll even attack you or eat you whole
    Down in the dark my bone mills roll
    Porridge for my porridge bowl
    (Porridge for his porridge bowl)

    [Chorus x2]
    I'm strong as the earth from which I'm born
    (He's strong as the earth from which he's born)
    I can't dream well because of my horns
    (He can't dream well because of his horns)

    A minotaur gets very sore
    His features they are such a bore
    His habits are predictable
    Aggressively reliable, bull, bull

    [Chorus]

    I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
    I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
    (He'll do what's wrong as long as he can)

    As long as he can
    As long as he can
    As long as he can
    As long as he can
    As long as he can
    As long as he can
    As long as he can
    As long as he can

    Huzzah!

    Just found them! Solid recent melodeath. I’ll just quote the metalcrypt review bc those guys are way better writers than me lol.

    Æolian have quietly gone about making the most exciting and impressive melodic death metal in ages since their 2018 debut, Silent Witness, without a whole lot of fanfare, partly because they're located in the tiny Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain, and the only real difference with their latest release, Echoes of the Future, is that it's refined almost to complete perfection. Sure, they've never been a very original band, as their mission statement is to pay tribute to the past greats of Scandinavian melodeath like Dissection, Children of Bodom, and Eternal Tears of Sorrow among others, but who gives a rat's ass about that if they're capable of matching them at the heights of their unholy power? This is a band that understands it's all about crafting instantly hooky melodies to go with endlessly catchy songwriting, and they do it with startling professionalism and passion as they give as much reverence to the glory days of the Swedish scene as they do the Finnish, like with the face-ripping opener "Hominis Obscura," the folky "Dreams of Reality," the—actually, I'll stop right there because I'd be reading off the whole damn track list at this rate. You want to know what makes melodic death metal great even now, decades after people got sick of it? Just slap this sucker in and be blown away by how little you need to reinvent a wheel when you know how to steer it down the path of greatness. Definitely a contender for Best of 2023.
