Elder posted a Jack is Back notice on their FB a couple days ago.
Jack had heart surgery. And pneumonia. Hell of a time. They’ve got a shirtless pic of him. Big chest scar.
They are looking to reschedule canceled dates soon.

Thanks for the update. Fixed the name.
It was an odd night. They were truly concerned about their bandmate, but they also seemed to enjoy the challenge. There were some smiles as they jammed.

I thought it was this.
Australia wages war on cane toads
Environmentalists have asked Australia’s military to wage war on cane toads, which have spread across the country’s north in near-plague proportions.
Ya. They lost.

The Australian military was also defeated by emus.
The Emu War is a spectacularly, intentionally boring and fully factual bit from a video game called Desert Bus VR.

Richard Cheese - Lounge Against the Machine was released in 2000, six fuken years after Welcome to Sky Valley.
These guys were groundbreakers!

Killer. Looking forward to the full release.
Get the word out! Update your sites with more band info.
What label are you with? Are they helping you much?
Gonna tour? Post it here!

I found this Elder tour video taken just a couple months ago.

Looks like I can expect the show to be entirely proggy new material.
I see two Through Zero cuts and one each from Omens and Innate Passage. Long songs, that’s 45 minutes.
Bought my ticket today. Definitely going.

This is not the doomy Elder of old.
The opening band Blackwater Holylight is all female, and also not doomy. I just discovered they are from Portland! This should be interesting.
There won’t be a pit. I probably won’t have any violent physical encounters.
That’s entirely alright, because I have the Sleep show the next day, and I’ll have my fill of doom.

Its more than an opt in or out problem with LG.
You remember, oh a fukin month ago? LG installs spywear with no prompt when you plug in one of their monitors on a pc. This TV shit is more of the same and certainly more egregious than other brands.

And that’s why I have to neuter any device I buy.
Fuken pain in the ass, but that’s our world.

;)

YTPB is a comm. Search for You Power Trippin Bastards.
Good entertainment to be had there.

Go look at the mod’s profile page. That’s where I got that.
Honestly, I think its a bullshit statement, so I called him out.
And then you ate the onion.

Wait … are you lamenting the demise of the Micro$oft phone?
Seriously? In public and all? What the hell is wrong with you?
For the record, I DO blame the companies.

This article whitewashed the whole thing and accepted LG’s angle, right up to reprinting their bullshit in full.
Such crap is entirely insufficient for a tech publication, “Tom’s Hardware has not independently verified either the claims made by Gamers Nexus in its documentary or LG’s counterclaims.”

Why? Why did you publish and throw up your hands saying “we know nothing”?
Was there possibly some money involved? Don’t want to piss off your advertisers?
I reviewed this Stephen Warwick’s articles. He’s a corpo shill.
Miserable excuse for journalism.

i have all predictive text disabled everywhere i can find such a setting.
and i don’t swipe.
mine works fine.

Man, I agree with you, but these are the rules:

“All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.”

How you execute a consistent set of policies when the rules say you don’t have to be consistent is beyond me.

There’s something subtly wrong here. Hmm…

I was recently banned from some vegan comm for using the word ‘moron’. Same justification.
They told me to fix my comment.
I said no.

I found a good video from that team. Not very detailed, but it was honest content, well produced.
Their website would probably be better if I wasn’t blocking half of their resources.

I’ll accept that. People suck in general, but its the only game in town.
I’m perfectly happy to see the entire dating app thing die under a flood of slop and abuse.
