Won't have to drive all the way to Dublin anymore, huh?

Is the Decision Day rule because of the possibility of international soccer play by team members?

Except with the Loads (which came out 1.5 years apart) the bloat came from trying to showcase how many styles other than metal they could try. I guess it was just the mid-'90s way of doing things like Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam. Especially since metal was completely off the table in 1996. On the other hand, with the Use Your Illusions too many of the songs were trying to out-epic each other.

Same with the Loads.

^I remember in 1996 there was a night that both Metallica's Load and a new Jimmy Buffet record came out. People at the time had no idea that Load isn't very good so things were still really rockin' at the midnight release at the South Hamilton Road Media Play (now a charter school last I checked). People were sitting in their cars smoking weed and blasting tunes waiting for the store to open up almost like it was a live show. My groups of friends don't just stand there and take pictures of each other all the time. Maybe it's because we are old but we were done with all that business by our late 20s already even with MySpace and Facebook around.

Is that still illegal in Cincinnati? I remember talk on here years ago bemoaning the fact.

Obviously the virus has to be over with, but DT employers must do away with the short 30 minute lunches for that to happen all the way.

Yes, the Driving Park neighborhood does have some talent waiting to be unlocked, on Livingston at least.

I wonder if they also retained part of the historic bathhouse.

I'm surprised we on UO haven't heard more about Tenant Signage opening up an office in town

Nowadays if a band is coming up they're a lot more likely to be 2-3 family members plus 1-2 people that they've known since like, elementary school. That's about the only way you can get rock people to agree on anything. Way too many different influences out there. It's not like the '80s where it was super-easy to find band members since everyone listened to Judas Priest, Ozzy and Van Halen so you just played stuff like that.

For me 2010-2016 went by very quickly but 2017-2020 have been very long. I didn't know it could get like that; I thought things would only speed up as life went on.

You men population growth I assume. If so, it's probably the same deal as OTR where a 5-person family leaves the SFH and it gets torn down and replaced with 3 units that all have one single person living in them so you actually lose 2 people!

Is the Short North even technically a neighborhood according to the city? It is an Arts District.

Uber Has Severed Its Ties To A Supposedly Profitable Autonomous Future After spending years and billions of investor dollars trying to get its autonomous robotaxi fleet off the ground, Uber has cut its losses and dumped the problem child division on a Silicon Valley startup called Aurora. As part of the deal, Uber will invest an additional $400 million in Aurora, paying the new company to distance itself fiscally and legally from the disaster that Uber’s autonomous project has become. Uber has always been an unprofitable taxi service and has said that the path toward profitability is replacing its expensive human drivers with self-driving robot cars. That’s how the company managed to keep getting investors to funnel billions into the company — the promise that it would someday make a profit by kicking hard-working Americans out of their gig economy jobs. Without this autonomous hardware and software, Uber has admitted that it has no idea how the company will ever turn a profit. more: https://jalopnik.com/uber-has-severed-its-ties-to-a-supposedly-profitable-au-1845829447

He's an IINO

A definite vestige of Old, Interesting America rather than dull, homogenized hipster-lite America post-2000.

WoooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooOO

I would not vote for him if found guilty. And serious pause even if innocent. Bill and Hillary used up my tolerance for any funny business. The Rs can get themselves thrown into canoe jail all they want.

There were supposed to be a ton of rooftop bars open by now if 2019 was to be believed.

Yeah I don't like voting for candidates who have been in trouble with the law like that while in office and abusing the power of the office. The FBI doesn't just sit there and say "Hey, we're bored. Let's go after some politicians today." I'm not talking about do you smoke weed or did you get busted with a gram of coke when you were 24 -- rather did you do something illegal that made things worse for your constituents and/or take real money (not $642) from where it should have gone. I, and many other Dems expect more from our politicians.

The Arena District turned out pretty well. Of course it has the ballpark now and soon the soccer stadium.

Problem is, the stadium was used as an excuse to water down the Liberty St. road diet.

Peak Oil is Suddenly Upon Us A year ago, if anyone in the petroleum business had suggested that the moment of Peak Oil had already passed, they would have been laughed right off the drilling rig. Then 2020 happened. Planes stopped flying. Office workers stayed home. “Zooming with the grandkids” replaced driving to see family. A year of global hunkering yielded the sharpest drop in oil consumption since Henry Ford cobbled together the first Model T. At its worst, global demand dropped by a staggering 29 million barrels a day. As a once-in-a-century pandemic played out, British oil giant BP Plc in September made an extraordinary call: Humanity’s thirst for oil may never again return to prior levels. That would make 2019 the high-water mark in oil history. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-peak-oil-era-is-suddenly-upon-us/ Don't forget that Peak Oil can result in cheap oil.

Computers made the stock market far more emotional, not less. Momentum investors barely existed when all those coked-up guys on the floor had to manually enter everything.
