Summerfest 2021 The extended schedule and multiple stage nature of this one has always led to an interesting lineup - JD May 6, 15:17 [Attachment] 15
- There are so many artists that could be headliners in that poster it makes my brain hurt. -- nm - IAmQale May 6, 15:23
- Looks about right. Cross a state fair with an indie rock fest add in top ten acts, oldies and local legends. And don't foget a few WT? that's it. -- nm - . May 6, 15:22
- RTJ should be a headliner and not a small print group. That's really surprising. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 15:20 11
  - Depends on what stage they're on. There are 6 or 7. One larger arena one smaller arena. 4 other stages in between, all open air. - . May 6, 15:25 2
    - and spread out over the better part of a month -- nm - JD May 6, 15:26 1
      - Yep. It's pretty laid back. -- nm - . May 6, 15:28
  - So I'm ashamedly but unabashedly stereotyping but it's in Wisconsin. Look at the headliners ;-) -- nm - JD May 6, 15:23 7
    - the Polka Bros? -- nm - zeitgeist May 6, 16:26
    - It's probably the best loved fest in the midwest, prices are low, loads of good beer and you pay extra for a headliner and the rest are all on one ticket. -- nm* - . May 6, 15:27 1
      - I think I became aware of it maybe 4-5 years ago and I think it's kind of epic as a local fest. It's a bit unwieldly for someone doing it as a -- (edited) - JD May 6, 15:31
    - I was thinking it's a bit odd for them to agree to do it and not headline but I see what you're saying and maybe they're just happy to reach their - Krusty May 6, 15:26 3
      - Milwaukee metro is like 20% black! And Madison is close! No excuse. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 15:28 2
        
        Lots of people from Chicago go up too. -- nm - . May 6, 15:29 1
        
        RTJ should get top billing one of the nights then. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 15:34
- T-Pain *and* REO Speedwagon? That'll save so much time! -- nm - Reagen May 6, 15:19

I just got offered an interview with Xzibit and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and briefly felt Krusty's rage. -- nm - David May 6, 14:18 15
- I assume that's good. I have no idea who they are. -- nm - Peglegpete May 6, 15:08 5
  - Xzibit is the "pimp my ride" guy. "Yo dog, I heard you like lightsabers, so we put 200 lightsabers in your speeder" -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 15:14
  - Xzibit at this point may be better known for Pimp My Ride. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were a mid-tier R&B group. -- nm - IAmQale May 6, 15:13 3
    - I liked Xzibit's music much more than anything by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and that includes that Biggie song they did. - Krusty May 6, 15:16 2
      - Off the top of my head, the only Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song I can recall is Crossroads. I shamefully(?) don't know any Xzhibit songs. - IAmQale May 6, 15:20 1
        
        Xzibit is really at his best doing features on other artists tracks but he had a couple of hits of his own and had some good songs that weren't - Krusty May 6, 15:33
- Here...ask them about working with Phil Collins.... -- (link) - Remlik May 6, 14:23 [youtube] 6
  - The best part of my divorce was removing all discussions of Phil Collins from my life. -- nm - David May 6, 14:24 5
    - Well 50% - Reagen May 6, 14:28 4
      - You're a writer for The Upshaws, aren't you? -- nm - David May 6, 14:31 3

- Is this an independence vote or just a general election? -- nm - TWuG May 6, 14:15 2
  - Independence ref by 2023 if Sturgeon wins. She probably wins. - mafic May 6, 16:30

Are the non-Apple tracking devices such as Tile significantly worse at their purpose? Or lack of possible market reach? I don't remember stalking - JD May 6, 13:56 2
- Tile has to be now worse at its purpose simply by not having enough devices with the software loaded to help track. -- nm - IAmQale May 6, 15:18
- It’s the Apple effect. They’ll get a lot of scrutiny and some will try to get clicks off of it. - spamlet May 6, 14:28
YDC: I'm back to watching a guy drive a canal boat around England. I needed something calming after that Yankees game. - Krusty May 6, 13:53 4

Univ of WA study says the US covid death toll is closer to 900,000 if you look at numbers over average -- (link) - zeitgeist May 6, 12:53 2
- Yeah, that probably tracks. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 13:03
- I have no doubt that Florida's real death rate is double or triple what the official total is now. -- nm - Inigo May 6, 12:56
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the number one original show on streaming for the week, number two overall behind Thunder Force. -- nm - David May 6, 12:44 16
- It's frustrating that the only stat Nielsen gives is overall minutes viewed. - Inigo May 6, 13:02 3
  - We legitimately spend 20 minutes before each episode venting about the lack of quality metrics. - David May 6, 14:20
  - Samba is the company that measures streaming ratings and numbers -- nm - eag May 6, 13:07 1
    - I thought that was a networking protocol ;-) -- nm - JD May 6, 13:57
- what's your streamers take as to why Loki will be on Wednesdays and not Fridays? - Remlik May 6, 12:45 11
  - Because it's Odin's Day -- nm - Dano May 6, 14:07 1
    - Release it on Thursday just to piss Loki off. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 14:11
  - Also Marvel and Star Wars series will overlap so instead of both on Friday they wanna do Wed and Fri flipping them back and forth - eag May 6, 13:00
  - I wrote about this yesterday in something that will go live next Monday. - David May 6, 12:55 6
    - makes sense -- nm - Remlik May 6, 13:07
    - I thought a Friday release would give them 2 weeks of chest thumping. Week 1 on the premiere and then week2 also was outstanding type of stuff -- nm - Beaker May 6, 13:04
    - I called it! -- nm - Tim May 6, 13:00 3
      - You did! -- nm - David May 6, 14:02 2

Pujols: Career 87 WAR, 5.6 of that during his Angels tenure. -- nm* - budice May 6, 12:43 7
- Pujols was upset that he wasn't in lineup to face Rays LHP Ryan Yarbrough last night, and that the decision to bench him came from front office. Pujols was 6 for 9 with 2 HR, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs vs. Yarbough. -- nm* - budice May 6, 13:10
- I hope the Cardinals bring him back. He can't be any worse than Matt Carpenter. nm -- nm - Dean Winchester May 6, 12:48 4
  - Somehow...he is? -.5 war vs -.2 so far. -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 12:52 3
    - I'm thinking a cheap nostaligic deal. Bring him in to pinch hit and to give Goldy a rest every now and again. Fans would love it... - Dean Winchester May 6, 13:21 1

Everybody. Come to Boston and walk into a CVS and get your COVID vaccine. You know, if you still need one. -- nm - Diva May 6, 12:31 13
- Ditto for DC. After refusing to open up, they opened the city up and everyone is getting it. Numbers are way down. -- nm - MDH May 6, 12:54 3
  - We're trying to work it out where we will offer the vaccine at popular tourist locations -- nm - Krusty May 6, 13:14 2
    - Ohh I like. -- nm - MDH May 6, 13:27 1
      - Anything to get tourists back and get the vaccine into more people I'm all for. Get a shot while eating a slice and looking at the Chrysler Building. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 13:35
- Oh... that reminds me. I reach FULL IMMUNITY tomorrow! -- nm - Dano May 6, 12:32 8
  - Guess what happens next... -- nm - Diva May 6, 13:05 1
    - Crazy Vaccinated Mel? -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 13:36
  - my friend who is basically a doctor (of pigs) says that full immunity is much quicker than two weeks from second dose in most cases. - amanda jeans May 6, 12:39 5
    - I hate nitpicking stuff like this but I have to keep reminding myself that it isn't immunity... - oblique May 6, 12:41 4
      - I mean it's splitting hairs. It's obviously not a force field, but will you develop the disease? 95+% chance says no. -- nm* - Reagen May 6, 14:05
      - If Pi can be rounded to 3, this can be immunity. -- nm - JaxSean May 6, 12:54
      - I AM IMMUNE! BOW BEFORE ME! -- nm - Dano May 6, 12:51
      - he did say "maximum immune response." I ... am not a doctor (of pigs). -- nm - amanda jeans May 6, 12:43

How's your day going? I took my wife to get her second shot, at Dodger Stadium. When we got home, I discovered some chucklenut hit my car... - Edward Havens May 6, 12:20 11
- That sucks. Any security cameras in the parking area? -- nm - Dano May 6, 12:59 1
  - Yeah, any neighbors with cams pointing out? -- nm - . May 6, 14:56
- No collision insurance on your car? -- nm - Dark Callisto May 6, 12:53 1
  - It's a 2005 Corolla. We have uninsured driver coverage, which is how they are treating this, but if the repairs will cost more than the KBB value... - Edward Havens May 6, 13:54
- This is what you need a PAN CAM for! - JaxSean May 6, 12:53 1
  - nmb PAN CAM - amanda jeans May 6, 13:04
- How did you get home if the car was undriveable? do you have insurance? any neighbors with security cams? -- nm - zeitgeist May 6, 12:49 1
  - We have more than one car. My car was on the street while we took my wife's car. -- nm - Edward Havens May 6, 13:52
- Notes are for musicians. -- nm - Chucklenut May 6, 12:40
- That blows. Not that it helps now, but those always/on dashcams are relatively cheap these days (especially relative to the cost of car repairs) - oblique May 6, 12:39
- Yay for your wife! Crap for the car! So sorry that happened. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 12:29
In honor of Mother's Day... here are the Top 20 Songs by Mother Mother - Dano May 6, 12:08 3
- mother mother by tracy bonham too needs mention. -- nm - amanda jeans May 6, 12:25 1
  - That's a good song, but my discovery of Mother Mother is possibly my personal silverest lining of the pandemic. - Dano May 6, 12:32
- This Body of Years erasure will not stand, man. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 12:11
