'Beckish' 'Beck on steroids' Satriani

M'Lady forces a change-up in the genre on me. Standing there in the living room... Dance with me. There's no music playing lol. So... put some on. You got it. Not what she was expecting, but we did dance.

Nice pick. Fan of Baroque are we? Selections from the Renaissance period, Thomas Morley (Dances for Broken Consort). The first track just might sound familiar to some of you...

It's not the heat... it's the humidity that's killer.

Very true! Locks only keep honest people out.

I find that an interesting statement, and inaccurate. Embry-Riddle graduated 7 astronauts just this past year, my cousin's son attends there - aspiring. The US Naval Academy, actually, takes the lead in 'Astronaut' graduates, followed second by the US Air-Force Academy.

Considering I gained this moniker somewhere around 1986, having owned 8 of them, I'd say that's pretty accurate. I'm also pretty sure I'm the original... all others came after me.

Everyone in my household is sick, Ferret included. Flu bug or something. What a wonderful day we're having.

Interesting... I remember the Relics album having this as its cover -

Some people have a little bit of a whistle (or wheezing) when they snore... maybe you're snoring and that's getting the dog's attention?

@razark That was a bit before my time, but I do remember being told the tale by my dad and uncle (both of them, Navy).

Please, don't hype and sensationalize this any more than the news... typically, they're doing a fine job of it as it is. Yes, it's a hurricane, and they're bad news period. This isn't Florida's first, nor will it be the last... and as always, people will rebuild. Sit back for a moment and imagine what it was like before we had all of these fancy hi-tech warnings and science and data. You guys don't know what you're missing out on.

It's a phone company thing... 'Registered Jack'. As a young man in my early 20's, I worked for Bell Telephone (now known as Verizon); It was common terminology back then.

Explaining an RJ-11 jack to a Verizon store employee, and why I have need for one. "A what?"

Heh heh heh... how about the Space Farms Zoo and Museum in NJ? It was founded (1927) even before there was a NASA. Does that count? https://www.spacefarms.com/visit Then again, we've got the Joint Base Maguire-Dix-Lakehurst... home of the Hindenburg crash. Also, the American Rocket Society fired its first rocket near Stockton NJ in 1932.

I can't think of Floyd without See Emily Play running through my head... at least. Album-wise, I have everything they've ever put out, big fan long before Dark Side. Same with Yes. Speaking of Yes..... Patrick Moraz

Good news for a change... grandson #2 born.

Because I know you've never heard it before...

@mikegarrison @ment18 The SEC nailed Musk for $20 million AND Tesla for $20 million. Double whammy. He's also to step down for at least 3 years ... it could end up being longer depending on his behavior and the business practices of Tesla itself. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/29/sec-settles-charges-with-teslas-elon-musk-will-remain-as-ceo.html

Three things... Tim Berners-Lee, Inrupt, and SOLID. I am 100% for it. This is a long time coming, and long overdue. https://www.inrupt.com/

@YNM Congestive heart failure, complicated with pneumonia and acute renal failure. Thanks all for the thoughts.

Watching them drop. 3 this past January. 1 this past August. And now again this afternoon... I got to stand there and watch helplessly as my friend took his last breaths. I'm beyond being sad and blue. I'm tired.

That's not very smart. Looking at that, I don't think your 'brother' did anything..... I think you did it. People who do such things, who run around threatening lawsuits and then not following through... they need help. My advice to you is seek some psychological help, this is not normal or proper behavior. You could very well end up with more than you've bargained for with this kind of game.

Which? Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce? I have a few old laptops running Xfce, works just fine. I've another running Peppermint just for ha-ha's... it's very web-centric. Hope it all works out for you.

This apparently is a kernel bug which can be ignored. Didn't look that deep into it. The fix:
