 Sometimes, people make fun of guys for doing stuff like this, but I think it's way more cool to do something you are passionate about, that is actually constructive, than buying guns for a self-created Apocalypse and harassing women online, because they won't have sex with them.

   @RickiTarr What a fun contraption to build! Sometimes I really miss not being able to weld anymore.  @RickiTarr thats a lot of effort and skill gone into buillding that vehicle (and riding it safely in a busy town square, its not going to be the easiest thing to control, its steered by the two dudes on each side varying the speed they pedal at so they need to work together as much as the musicians!)    I don't know what it has to do with putting down gun nuts, or lonely men, but that is a very cool contraption!
The apocalypse is in the bible there is a whole book about it called Revelations. I consider it to be the most accurate book because it is the only book that was written by an actual saint that was called John the revelator. The guy was a seer, he saw it all and put it in this book. We don't know who wrote the other books of the bible. This is why a lot of people believe in it. But I do agree that instead of worrying about it we should go on with our day and make it useful or fun.   Compared to the stage build and lightning set up for an average music gig at a concert venue, it's not excessive.    @RickiTarr To my, ahem, mind, thereβs nothing more sexy than someone whoβs passionate about the thing theyβre doing. @slothrop Absolutely, I think it's why I have trouble focusing on a singular thing, it's exciting to see what people are passionate about.   For the people asking, I believe the band is called Factoria Circular, it took some weird search queries to figure it out, but I think that's right. @RickiTarr Seems so. They have a blog in Italian. https://factoriacircular.wordpress.com @MartyFouts @RickiTarr it's not Italian. I think it's most likely Spanish, but I'm tired, my Spanish is shit anyways and I don't want to correct you incorrectly. But this blog is going straight into my bookmars so I can hope to see them live!  At least doing weird search queries is way less awkward than humming three seconds of a song your heard on the radio to the guy at the record shop...  @RickiTarr I LOVE THIS! ...and how timely to see. Today I'm playing trombone for 8 hours atop a horse-drawn Carlsberg Beer Wagon for Danish Days 2024! In Solvang, CA β the Danish capital of America π΅ π€ #bandgeek #music #trombone #instrument #musician #Denmark #Culture #beer  @RickiTarr I saw this same video elsewhere and my first thought was "finally a band I could be in without musical talent -- I can pedal!"  @RickiTarr great alt text description, I don't need it but was super impressed that it was there and how well it worked in not that many words.  @RickiTarr The contraption is called Rodafonio; the group is Factoria Circular from Barcelona; and this video is from their performance in Bakuβs Fountain Square less than a week ago. See the video below starting around 8:50 for an exact match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJyzTuswUgU cc @peter  @RickiTarr Itβs amazing what you do when the shopping streets and the piazza are flat and car-free. @RickiTarr Indeed! Live is short. Find something fun to do that you're passionate about as long as you're not hurting others! Ignore the shitheads that shit on it. It's easy to get lost in anger, especially in this day and age where you can find anything to fuel it somewhere on the net. I'll never stop being pissed at clowns like Trump and his mob but let it consume you and he and his kind win.  @RickiTarr Love this! This is exactly why I get such a kick out of the new Tim Walz vid that's making the rounds where he's showing you how to fix a 70s era cruise control device in his old car. He obviously has a passion for making old cars run and, not coincidentally, is also a decent person with a pleasant sense of humor. You ever notice that the incel types and the ammo-sexuals have no sense of humor? I guess there's nothing funny about being 42 and still living in your mom's basement. @RickiTarr @Asbestos @RickiTarr I think you're onto something there! tRump is looking more and more like someone's loony uncle that you don't want to sit next to at Thanksgiving but he had to be invited because family. A very dangerous loony uncle, I'll grant you. If Walz can lure away the classic car crowd, so much the better! @RickiTarr this is metal working porn. welding art meets jazz fusion. would jam with these dudes @RickiTarr Yes. Apart from that, thank you for your alt text. I don't need one, but every so often, alt text improves the artwork for everyone.  @RickiTarr Edit  @RickiTarr   @RickiTarr you should see what the Mummers get up to in Philly -- and most of them are frat bros!  |
