We gamers are a delicate bunch when a hat making fun of a slogan is causing "division" in the community.

I'm not sure I would say "almost in" Les stated that it was very clear to everyone at the audition that he wasn't a good fit.

"In 2005, Claypool was asked about his audition. “I can't really remember what songs we played, but I didn't fit in, that was really obvious,” he told BP. “I believe Lars said. ‘You're not really used to this kind of music, are you?’ My first response was, goddamn, this is loud! And then I asked them if they wanted to jam on an Isley Brothers tune, just as a joke. which they didn’t think was very funny.”"

I agree, we had the option to sue the seller but the reality is, even if we spend a ton of money to take him to court, there's no guaranteed payment at the end. We decided to focus on fixing the problem rather than try to get compensation from them.

There is absolutely no system in place to protect people from something like this. The inspector didn't find it, the realty attorneys didn't find it, the realtors didn't find it. We only found out about it when pulling a permit for a deck.

The timeframe all depends on the house. Over the last 30 years, we've bought three homes. The first one was an absolute breeze and never caused us heartache. The second one, was a bit of a troublemaker but we just worked our way from room to room, rehabbing the entire house a little bit at a time.

This last one has been a nightmare for the 4 years we've owned it. We've blown through our savings and still don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Without going into needless detail, on top of a qualified home inspector, I would suggest going to the city/county permitting office to make sure permits were pulled for anything that's been recently done. In our case, the the biggest issue with this property was that apartment over garage was done illegally and we had to completely gut and start over. Unfortunately, the entire reason we picked this house was for that apartment as it was for our daughter to live in.

My intention isn't to scare you but just be sure to perform due diligence and don't be afraid to further investigate potential issues.

Not a showerthought, just a joke that's already been done.

Without context, the image isn't that impressive. If nothing XP-related actually works and it's just a display exercise, it's just a 20-something year old skin import.

If absolutely everything works in the manner XP worked, then it's incredibly impressive.

Christ, you need some help. Seriously. Consider talking to a professional about this.

Thanks very much for the link, I'd never heard the anecdotes about the song before.

I find the cover equally great. I think there's a ton of covers on Spotify of the song as well.

I've never been to a concert but I've loved them for decades. Did you watch the videos on their YT channel where they got their new drummer?
