I have an old friend that plays cello with Cirque du Soleil in Vegas. I've been meaning to go see one of the shows she plays in.

I can't commend on the technical quality of their performance, but I found the underlying concept fascinating. I didn't know violins could make that sound.

I also didn't know that electric violins / bases existed. What's interesting to me is that, like electric guitars, they produce very little acoustic output. Most of the bands we get use big floor monitors, so you can hear them easily out in the hallway. These ladies brought their own stage mixer and in-ear monitor system, so while observing from inside Studio 1, you heard virtually nothing. I has to go down the hallway into the ban-mixing studio to actually hear their performance.

Anyway, back to great music...

Gotcha. I foolishly assumed that there was something more nuanced to it.

Yeah but only corners and areas that really need the strength and or hold the liquid in.

This saves time and routering everything takes a TON of time.

I was referring to the steel. You're killing me smalls.

Time. 4 more to do by December 14th and they take 3 weeks to build.

Engineering hint: it holds liquid in much better without large, square holes in the bottom.

s engineering really that easy? Man i should have been an engineer.

Instead i'm killing myself in one of our giant air handlers changing the burner. I think 21 years out of this burner is pretty good!

That's a very interesting-looking burner.

I should snap a photo of our 60s-vintage boiler.

Does this mean that she's the new King of Sweeden?

Why bring Switzerland into this?

Ok, how the fuck does auto correct change Sweden into Switzerland?

I have large thumbs. And also, apparently, poor eyesight.

Apparently, photoshopping silly hats onto the King of Sweeden is a thing.

Correlation ≠ causation. I'm sure it was a put-on. At least, for the sake of humanity's future, I hope it was.

Reminds me of the story I was told about an idiot tow truck driver who got similarly stuck in the mud. His genius solution was to hitch his hoist to his own back axle. It was working too, until he pretzeled his frame.
