  1. Not as a guitarist, but Roger played mostly bass. But Roger was a huge driving force of the song writing since Syd’s departure and Dave’s arrival.
  2. Gilmore did a few more “Pink Floyd” albums and concert tours after Roger left, but I don’t know of any current work. Roger’s got another tour coming this summer, postponed from last summer. Nick Mason has a tour that was postponed this winter, rescheduled for the fall.
  3. I had to stare at my second word for a long minute before getting the answer. Wordlebot tells me that is because there was only one option available.
  4. Maybe a musical interlude will help.
  5. Is Fishtown a gentrified area of Philly now? I seem to think of Girard Avenue near 95 as a pretty busy open air drug market back in the late 80’s.
  6. sorry, I missed your work. Did not mean to plagiarize.
  7. You’ve lived in Philadelphia, you know this isn’t true.
  8. But mostly they stay. The local Greyhound bus terminal seems to have far more incoming than departing. @Randomguy is the one who got away, though. He just stayed on that bus and then kept going.
  9. I think if it’s a one and done sorta thing, no one is going to convict someone of that death. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” as the kids will say. Shooting them in the back as they ran off or beating an incapacitated individual after the robbery has essentially ended would be a different scenario. IMO.
  10. How many times over how long a period of time? I doubt a DA would prosecute or a jury convict an immediate, limited physical response to a robbery attempt. But repeated kicks once they are clearly incapacitated would be difficult to defend, and would be shown to a jury on CCTV with a time stamp.
  11. I like to keep 2 in my seatpack, 2 in the tandem seatpack, 1 in my wife’s, and 10 in a sealed plastic bag. That way I’m always ready. All the same size, all pork. I worry about running out of ribs.
  12. It’s actually the opposite. In type II Diabetes, aka adult onset, it’s insulin resistance at the cellular level that makes for abnormally high blood glucose levels. So even when you have “normal” or high insulin levels, the blood sugars stay high. So the body then releases even more insulin, which then results in additional fat storage, which then worsens the cycle, as being more obese worsens insulin resistance. Type I diabetes means your pancreas isn’t making enough insulin. These patients aren’t resistant to the benefits of insulin, they just need to replace what would be naturally occurring. They use far less insulin than the type 2 patients who get administer it.
  13. Food just isn’t worth eating without salt?
  14. Deaths during the Omicron phase ultimately exceeded the Delta phase. It’s complicated to tease out exactly what that data means, except I wouldn’t sleep on assurances this next wave can’t and won’t cause death, too. I don’t usually think of Long COVID as being as episodic in symptoms as @2Far experiences. Mot people describe it as pretty constant, as I understand. Reinfection can happen approximately 4 months following previous infection, I’d probably retest if I lost taste again and had crushing energy loss anew.
