You ever have that thing where you really like one song by a band and discover it's an outlier and you can't find any other songs by them you can tolerate or that are remotely similar?

Sure. Recent on in my memory is Just Kill's Bipolar. They haven't released much besides it, but of the few they have Bipolar is one of the most delicious pieces of glitch hop I've yet to encounter and their other stuff is mediocre at best. They're far from the only one like that I've seen, but it's the most recent.

Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident) might be the only thing I'm aware of I particularly like of John Michael Montgomery's performances, for another example. I don't think it's a particularly uncommon thing to run into, really.

E: Unrelated, have a hour and a half of Sonny Boy Williamson II, just in case you wanted some harmonica in your life.

E2: Also some Cab Calloway, 'cause everyone needs a little of that in their live.

Dunno what's considered proper, heh. Do know they're apparently hunting bosses with HP totals in the millions or billions or something these days, it seems.

I mean, not long ago we were talking about voting by app. All we'd have to do is carpet bomb the world with smartphones preloaded with the voting app, rigged up so the machine wouldn't do anything else until you choose an option. You get to keep and use the phone after you vote, even!

Even at its barest minimum, expanding the courts would make it easier for the SCOTUS to actually do its bloody job, for what it's worth. One of the noted issues with the supreme court as is, is there's too damn few of them to really handle the load they're faced with. The US is a lot larger and its legal system that much messier than it was the last time the court was expanded. Enough justices to split up and handle multiple case loads would be a damn overdue improvement.

Jeopardy's Alex Trebek apparently kicked the bucket a day ago. Cancer finally got him. His last episode airs sometime this December

Never a big fan or anything, but the show's been running steadily literally longer than I've been alive, so... yeah.

So your thoughts on what's being proposed to open up 2021 with? 50k student loan forgiveness across the board, massive infrastructure spending, etc.?

Often on doors with old locks you could literally just slip a credit card through the latch and open the door. Deviant Ollam has a bunch of cool videos on youtube about this. In fact he says picking a lock is among one of the last things he tries.

Credit cards don't tend to do very well, in my experience (they bend way too easily), but a simple flathead screwdriver, or a pocket/butter knife works pretty much perfectly for jimmying open a locked door that isn't built to prevent it.

Used to do that to get into my own house more often than I probably should have needed to. Back then I didn't have a key to the place and the person that did locked them inside fairly often. Nowadays I always make sure I have a way back into the place I'm staying when I leave it, which you'd think would be an blatant and universally obvious thing, but life and other people have taught me it really, really isn't

So, mild side thing, but I'm hearing twitter has confirmed the shitgibbon is losing public interest protections when Biden steps fully into office? I.e. the rules they've been using as an excuse to avoid yeeting him off the platform will lapse. Should be fun if true
