@The Nemesis

Something to add to collection?

@slocal and I are the guitar guys lol

@slocal you might want to stock up

Another Sriracha shortage could be coming. A severe drought is to blame.

Jennifer Wunderlich can’t recall the last time Huy Fong Foods’ Sriracha sauce was in stock at her workplace, a New York-based specialty confections and gourmet food distributor. It’s been “months and months” since Wunderlich said she’s seen the rooster-adorned, green-capped bottles at Nassau...

I buy mine from Underwood Ranches. They were the original supplier of peppers before getting shafted by Huy Fong. The new Huy Fong sriracha tastes wrong, but Underwood tastes like the original. Same can be said for the chili garlic sauce.

Damn, I just saw this. Bloody hell

Same. Gutted. He was a true iconoclast, and humble throughout. The Electrical Audio channel on YouTube is a fantastic testament to a life's work in service to helping normal people make abnormal music, if you haven't checked it out.

Steve was one of my biggest heroes. He's a huge reason I approach recording and working with bands the way I do.

I was just in Chicago for a few days and thought about calling EA to see if I could visit for a quick tour. Regret seems like too weak of a word right now.

I don’t know if any of you guys work in the biotech industry, but it’s rough right now. I work at a mid-sized biotech company in the Bay Area and we just laid off 170 people today after doing ~40 a couple months ago. I’ve survived so far but man, it is not very fun.

It's been a bloodbath for hella days and I totally thought the hiring floodgates would open again by now... Literally everyone is applying for everything out of desperation it's nuts

If I get fired again I'm seriously f***ed cuz there's no way I'm outcompeting everyone else out there right now

It's that way in everything. There's so much competition for any open position and it's so easy for people to apply over the Internet that the odds of you getting any position that you apply for are horribly low. If they're laying off in your industry, everything's that much worse.

I've gone through long periods of unemployment and underemployment. Been looking for an upgrade for at least a year now and not much out there that really fits my field where I live and the few that do you're lucky if you ever hear from them. Have a friend out there whose unemployment ran out a while back and he's getting a little desperate. Whenever I read those articles about how unemployment is, I just laugh. Who are they kidding? It's not a job hunter's market at all.

Damn, been listening to Doolittle on and off for decades. I could never figure out Debaser. Turns out I was thinking it was a chain from Alabama but it's actually Un Chien Andalusia... It's a movie, not about a dog, but the words refer an Andalusian dog in French, I guess.

So, this:

Not this:

Underwood at Costco? Nice! I hope they sell well. This whole shortage is cause by Huy Fong's bad decision to grow their own in Mexico vs using Underwood in CA. Underwood has stated they can do Huy Fong numbers easily if there is demand for them.

Saw Judas Priest in Albany Tuesday night. I've had plenty of opportunities before, but I passed them up because I didn't think much of the reunion albums. This year I decided to go, because I know Rob isn't getting any younger or healthier (and Glenn is even worse, and I fear when he goes, the band will go too).

I'm glad I went. Rob has no business hitting those notes, and yet he did, for an hour and a half. Good setlist, great energy.

For those of you who are baseball fans and have not been, the National Baseball Hall of Fame is absolutely worth the trip to Cooperstown, NY, and will take you an entire day to fully appreciate - maybe two.

I didn't have a lot of time in town, so I didn't check out any of the other museums or attractions, but the NBHOF is fantastic, and the village is wonderfully picturesque and comfortable.

The roads between either Albany or Syracuse and Cooperstown are nice, too. It's about two hours, depending on whether you stop, and that's the easiest way to get there (I'm sure there are bus routes as well).

I haven’t been in 10+ years (my dad is from Syracuse and made the whole family do a trip out there when I was in high school basically so he could show us how crappy it is and make us appreciate California even more) but I endorse this. I really enjoyed our day in Cooperstown. Definitely more than Syracuse, anyway…

We stopped in Lake Placid as well, which was cool for me as a hockey buff. Less interesting for the rest of my family, but I thought it was cool.

This sucks. Bill was huge in the music scene i like, and helped "legitimize" being a fan of a band like the Dead. I only saw him once at a show, and it was obviously him. I'm 6'5-ish and i could see his head floating above the rest of the crowd.

On the second day do they let you start half-way through for free?

(really kinda half-assed joke about the Manfred Man in extra innings starting at second for no real reason )
