Today I learned that Van Halen have that rider in their contract about “a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed” in order to know at a glance if the promoter read the entire contract. And the reason they do THAT is because they once had a stage collapse because a promoter hadn’t read the proper way to set up all the specific technical stuff.
So if the band goes in the dressing room or catering and sees brown M&Ms, they know they have to double-check the stage setup for safety.
gamecube was the best designed controller of all time exclusively for the button cluster that gave you easy thumb roll access to all buttons but also gave you the a button as a thumb rest (because it’s the one you press the most) and took into account the frequency with which each button gets pressed in its design rather than doing the stupid diamond design that gives no button priority and rests your thumb in the shitty blank space between buttons
The Diamond Button Layout Is The Bleeding Stump Where Form Cut Function’s Head Off

Police went to the Hopkins residence to serve a warrant on a 27-year-old at the home who was accused of molesting a foster child. Fred, a gun enthusiast who was disbarred a couple of decades ago, decided to have a standoff with the police and he’s still alive.
Fred Hopkins should be alive. This isn’t advocating for the police to kill people who get in their way of serving a warrant. This is just reminding everyone that the police are more than capable of apprehending suspects alive, as they did this 74-year-old white man in an affluent neighborhood. Police regularly serve warrants in Black neighborhoods by dressing up in SWAT gear and ramming through front doors shooting whoever happens to be nearby, which is what happened to 7 year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones who was sleeping on a couch when the cops conducted a raid to arrest one person.
Not that I really did before, but I won’t be entertaining any conversations attempting to justify deadly measures employed by law enforcement. They apprehend white murderers all the time while killing unarmed Black people who breathe too hard.
He keeps being described as “a disabled veteran”.
And the cop he killed just happens to be black.
Hmmmmmmm, wonder why he isn’t being publicly crucified? 🤔🤔🤔
