Code Monkey 😁 😁 😁 😁

It turns out we're actually sitting above the level of most of those ten new EU members.

Douglas Robinson12 said:Look, I wasn't suggesting the movie needs to be a biopic about the Partibrejkers. My point was that there was never a real generational shift strong enough to keep that kind of music in the spotlight—it never really stayed in the mainstream. For what it's worth, I'd say the Partibrejkers were already a thing by 1982, maybe even back in '81. But that's beside the point. As for Koja's reaction? Honestly, I'm not surprised. That’s just classic Koja behavior.

The PB officially formed in August 1982, though I doubt their parents even knew they existed back then.😉

Regarding the movie and the premiere, they're planning to hold a concert featuring the old fossils still hanging around from that era.😁

dustyscout53 said:Exactly! 👍

Look, my old man was born in 1936. When he was a kid, he joined the resistance and took out a hundred and fifty enemy soldiers. He’s tougher than all your dads put together, even when he isn't carrying a rifle.

😁 😁 😁 👍

By the way, the movie doesn't actually say he screwed over Igor Mirkovic. What really happened was that his condition for appearing in the film was basically demanding that the entire thing revolve around him—that he be the alpha and the omega of the old US music scene. Look, regardless of his massive contributions or how much innovation he brought to the industry, Mirkovic simply couldn't agree to those terms. Besides, the film focuses on the era between 1979 and 1982 and isn't strictly a documentary about music. It’s no surprise that the Partibrejkers aren't mentioned; they didn't even exist back then.

Well, obviously. 😁 😁

The guy completely ignored the underground art scenes and the punk movements—not to mention the indie bands (of which there are plenty). So, what are we actually looking at here? Is this film just a glorified tribute to a specific group of local heroes, a biopic about the LA scene, or is it supposed to be a documentary about the entire New Wave movement in America? That's the question.
By the way, not a single mention of Sarla akrobat in the whole film!! What a joke.

Mirkovic left out the Midwest and West Coast scenes for one simple reason: there just isn't enough high-quality video footage left of those bands. We talked about this back in Napa Valley, and he mentioned that nobody has preserved that stuff in a format worth showing.

The film is excellent; I caught it while visiting Napa Valley last summer. It serves as a chronicle of an entire era (1979–1982), looking beyond just the music to capture the actual vibe of youth culture and the surrounding environment back then. It’s a solid documentary packed with fascinating details you haven't heard before. (For instance, I had no clue that Leiner and Hrnjak finally crossed paths last year—they hadn't seen each other since misin left to join the Jehovah's Witnesses in '84.)

It used to be that executives at state-owned companies were automatically cycled out whenever a new administration took office. Now, it looks like they're being appointed again without any open competition. Every single one of these positions should be filled through a public hiring process. Take Vesna trnokop or Tomislav Dragicevic—if my memory serves, they were actually selected through a formal process. And if you get the job that way, the incoming administration shouldn't just kick you to the curb. That’s just one example of how the system is supposed to function.
Crkvenac sat on 13 NO boards, and Linic was on about 17, I think. They were "volunteers." Honestly, I don't care whether they were volunteers or not; being on 13 boards is overkill. Didn't the Democratic Party have more people they could have tapped? If they didn't, they should have brought in independent experts. Instead, they just kept stacking the deck with their own people.
Sanders broke that tradition.
I suspect his wife actually pulled in quite a few votes for Racan. And honestly, that’s one positive development.

The best part is, she’s probably the only instance of nepotism where the person actually did an excellent job. Even Zuzul kept her on. 👍

boldeagle3 said:Look, dustyscout53, not everyone was born in 1975. Personally—to my own misfortune—I was born a few years later, and I just don't get kung fu movies the way they apparently "warm your heart." Tarantino is pretty much the only one who’s managed to do that for me when it comes to the whole martial arts vibe.
I'm not saying I didn't watch those flicks as a kid, but they never exactly "warmed my heart."

I think he was actually talking about the guys. I don't recall girls ever being particularly into kung fu movies, aside from the usual crowd of teenagers hanging out by the theater sidewalks.

Here’s a link featuring a solid collection of Azrin's tracks, including that slightly shady 1997 release, album Blase.

There are some pretty interesting takes on the lyrics in the comments section 🙂here.

Beyoncé said:I’m over at JPMorgan Chase, and a friend of mine in New York City is dealing with some kind of spending limit. $333 I hit my daily limit on the card, and I didn't have a backup. It happened right in the middle of a massive shopping spree when her card finally decided to strike after I'd already maxed it out. $333She used mine. My card didn't cause half the drama hers did. 🙂

Look, I wasn't trying to frame the Democratic Party's credit limits as some kind of selling point. My point was simply about the sheer number of ATMs they have on the street. 😉
That cap is basically set based on the maximum allowable overdraft. For most people, the daily limit hovers around... $0.67 Why settle for anything else when you have a steady monthly paycheck? Once you’ve got that predictable flow hitting your bank account, everything else is just noise. $1.00

One of my all-time favorite bands. For me, it’s always been Brown Sugar.

From what I can gather, you’re looking for a business account, not just a personal one. In my book, Raiffeisen is the way to go; trying to run a company through JPMorgan Chase is a death sentence.
As far as personal accounts go, though, JPMorgan Chase definitely holds the edge. Sure, they can be dismissive and rude, but they make up for it with the sheer number of ATMs out there. Plus, they’re currently the only ones offering cash deposits at the ATM—they actually pulled that feature for a bit, but brought it back. It means I barely ever have to step foot inside a branch because I can handle everything at the machine. Their SMS alerts for checking and Mastercard transactions run me about $2.25/month.

Commodus said:It’s cheaper to just set up a sole proprietorship—like a small retail business—and honestly, it's way easier to shut down if things go south. The catch is you either need the specific credentials yourself or you have to hire someone who does.

Spot on, though it's worth noting there's a massive pool of "general" freelance gigs where you don't need a specialized degree. Think digital marketing or stuff like that.

Joshua Barnes2 said:Maybe I was just... he didn't really care about me... because if he did, he would've stayed.

Give me a break. Talk about a complete personality transplant and total maturity in under twenty minutes. My hat's off to you.🙏 👍

My bad 😉
A bio should be mandatory, and honestly, the OP needs to step up and identify themselves...

Look, Oceanic, just tell us which business you’re actually planning to launch so we can finally give you an answer 😉

Professional certification usually only applies to licensed trades, not independent freelancers. What kind of business are you actually planning to launch?

Maybe I’m the only one who doesn't think Dub is anything special—I haven't caught them live yet, so maybe a concert would change my mind—but honestly, Sila just doesn't do it for me.
Rage and Public Enemy are in a completely different league. Though, from what I hear, it seems like Atheist only exists for the sake of America; officially, they've already broken up.😉

Hahaha, they aren't 😁
But I have to admit, the whole setup is pretty interesting. You've got people sitting on the Student Union programming committee who haven't stepped foot in a classroom in decades. They’re booking shows in venues like Madison Square Garden, all funded by the Student Union—basically the government. Since they aren't playing for keeps, they don't give a damn about the bottom line. They’re just working for a fixed salary, which lets them throw out offers that are totally uncompetitive compared to actual promoters. If I said the whole thing reminds me of a warped version of a socialist system, I'd probably just sound bitter 😁
