    As someone still earning his calluses learning on an acoustic, this was both amazing and somewhat depressing that I decided to start so late in life.


    Sidenote: There goes the Lexus sweep in Daytona. Damn it.

    Turns out I have no way to watch the race live, seeing as Peacock has snagged all the streaming rights.

    Usually you can watch it live from IMSA TV with their in-house commentary, but not this year.

    Fucking sucks.

    I'm hoping that if/when Peacock goes off air with it (like they used to in previous years on normal cable TV), they kick on the public live stream.

    I can't even go and sign up for Peacock because it's not available in Canada.

    Did I mention this fucking sucks?

    The only redeeming factor is that in about 2-3 days they will post the entire race on their YouTube channel so I can download and watch it then.

    Still... it fucking sucks.

    I may have mentioned it before, but the guitarist I played with on the road back in the late 2000’s was a huge Nuno fan, which made his approach to soloing so fun and different from a lot of other Nashville cats.

    Nuno’s solo album “Population 1” has a pretty interesting sound, I recommend it.

    They don't let you sign up with a non-US credit card. While I have a US Dollar CC I can use, the billing address is still here in Canada.

    Fucking bastards.

    I thought you were a pirating savant with server farms dedicated to your streams?

    I don’t do live streams. Only torrents.

    Live sports are not in my wheelhouse, I tend to pay for that coverage, or watch it a day or 3 later.

    I just wish IMSA would do their version of the F1 TV service… it’s the gold standard as far as I’m concerned.

    my wife is the boss. I make more than she does, but only because I've been at the company longer. We work together. She works harder, I work smarter. At home I do all the maintenance shit, and we split the cooking based upon who is better at what. She's not good at figuring out how stuff works, or fixing it when it's broken. But she is good at cleaning, organizing, understanding math shit like paying the bills, and being pretty. Therefor, she's the boss. Is it really that hard for guys to say?

    What about a virtual mailing address?

    Back to Van Halen for a bit: I was just making up some burgers in the kitchen and just randomly, "Everybody Wants Some" just magically popped in my head.

    Billing address on the credit card is the key. Email addresses have nothing to do with it.

    A virtual mailing address is a real street address, not an email. You can use it as the billing address on file with the bank the CC is with.

    Ahh. Misread your suggestion. Not worth it for me really.

    I learned that McDonald's pickles are made with dill essential oil for flavor. There's your random fact of the day.
