I was listening to the Courtney Love interview on the recent “60 Songs…” podcast and she mentions a few times not to bring up the Jesus Lizard. I’ve always thought Kurt liked Jesus Lizard as they’ve toured together and released the split single. Does anyone have any backstory on why she doesn’t like the Jesus Lizard and Kurt association?

BMTH will headline Download Festivals 20th Anniversary on Friday evening.
There have been discussions on the sub regarding the potential set list following the recent shows however as it’s Download 20th Anniversary , could there gonna be something special and a mixed set list or guests? Nova Twins & Architects are playing download to.
EDIT : Evanescence playing to.
Anyone got thoughts or just gonna go with the recent tour set lists?

Memory Transcription Subject: Vichak, venlil school principal
Date [Standard Human Reckoning]: 2136-10-23
I told my vice principal that I didn't come to this predator planet for a vacation, so I need some knowledge or study results to bring home. Johan, my possible future brother-in-law, suggested that I could perhaps observe a human school. Keristian, the human coordinator for the refugee apartment, assured me that he had contacted an elementary school and came up with a schedule. For now, he told me to familiarize myself with the amenities in the apartment.
Besides their blocky design, human apartments had the same general functions as venlil ones. The staff provided us with a stepping stool to account for the larger dimension of the furniture, but other than that it has all that we needed.
Well... we could use a full-body dryer.
I found some alien features too in the apartment, such as the artificial pond, which humans use for recreation. They call this activity 'swimming', something that translates into "moving in water". Their First Contact package insisted that they came from arboreal lineage. Yet, their movements in water betrayed a hidden skill. After considering it, it made sense in a way. The water in their world is teeming with life, and they would benefit from aquatic hunting skills.
Adjacent to this 'swimming' pond, the apartment also had a gym. We have gyms back in the home world, but here on Earth, a wide range of humans frequented them, not just their armed forces personnel. They perform a variety of body movements such as lifting and putting things back down or running on a conveyor belt.
Does this dedication to simulated hardship serve as a means to channel their inherited predatory aggression? They didn't turn themselves from savage beasts into civilized people without some way to temper that excess.
We expected to meet a lot of gojids in the apartment, but it felt sparser than I had imagined. Keristian explained that the gojids here had entered into employment within the Capital. A large number had secured work on the farms. Some had brought seeds from their homeworld, which they planted back in the camp. After the human experts determined it safe enough for Earth, they transplanted the sprouts to one of the farms around the city.
I wondered if any venlil plant species had established themselves on this foreign soil. After Timür explained the concept of invasive species, I realized that I misinterpreted their cautious approach as predatory territorialism. On the other paw, the unspoiled wilderness that I witnessed on my journeys to and from the camp made me appreciate the inherent beauty of preserving such a wild landscape.
Some other gojids chose careers in logistics, serving the complex system that kept the goods in the region moving. Right now, humans directed most of their effort into alleviating the ruined cities. Some of the gojids had even volunteered to help the human, despite the presence of arxurs in the affected cities.
For our last meal of the day, we had gojid dishes made out of earth ingredients. I have to admit that I have not tried gojid cuisine before, but it grew on me just like human cuisine did.
The midday heat on Earth felt milder compared to the scorching intensity of a Deep Day in Venlil Prime's sunward section. Unlike our homeworld, where night temperatures could plummet beyond freezing, Earth's night felt comfortable.
I spent my first night on Earth sitting on the rooftop garden of the apartment. The blanket of darkness that stretched all around us sparked feelings of unease. However, the glimmering towers of the Capital provided a comforting backdrop, their lights twinkling like terrestrial stars. One of the staff members commented on how the city's light pollution obscured all but the brightest celestial bodies.
The staff member was a human after all and would do insane human things like complaining about their city not being dark enough.
Nevertheless, humans did appreciate the necessity of artificial lighting. As night fell, we could illuminate our room with the voice command, a comforting alternative to the deep night outside. I shuddered at the thought of enduring a night in such complete darkness.
Yesterday, I decided to explore the downtown capital to familiarize myself before I visited the school today. Mom insisted on tagging along and Keristian wanted Sukma, his aide, to guide us. We wanted a self-guided exploration, so as a compromise, the human equipped us with wrist-worn devices. These gadgets allowed him to track our whereabouts and also functioned as a means of payment. While the coordinator insisted we needn't worry about finances, he explained a rough price guide to prevent any possible exploitation.
Humans, in stark contrast to the lone arxurs, put heavy importance on socializing. While we waited in the station, the rhythmic cadence of Bahasa, their local language, filled the air. Thanks to Vani's provision of a language model, I could comprehend their dialogues, and snippets of human conversations drifted toward my ears.
"Do you see those domba?"
"Shhh... don't call them that. But yeah... I thought we had just one here?"
"Maybe Vani's relatives came to visit?"
However, even with the additional language model, my translator couldn't decipher all of their voices. Vani informed me that Bahasa serves as a trade language for the region and they had a plethora of other tongues that our translation device has yet to have the data for.
Once aboard the train, the humans adopted a collective silence. Being surrounded by humans aboard the train felt daunting, but this discomfort came from me standing out in this setting. I would feel the same on any other planet inhabited by a different species, carnivorous or not.
When we came to the downtown station, we plunged right away into an endless sea of humans.
Timür's unapologetic display of his face had acclimatized us to humans. We learned to perceive them not as threats but as just xenos with weird faces. It also helped that the humans in our vicinity maintained a respectful distance. However, they almost always locked their curious gaze onto us, averting their eyes when they figured out that I noticed them from my peripheral vision.
Distinguishing individual humans posed a challenge due to their similar appearance, but I soon learned to note the distinctive fabric of their clothing and the accessories they adorned.
The bustling capital of Nusantara presented us with new experiences and opportunities to learn about human culture. Mom and I took full advantage of our time there, immersing ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere provided by the city.
We first stopped at a local market, a bustling hive of activity that operated around the clock. Here, we observed humans haggling over the prices of fruits and vegetables, inspecting textiles, and purchasing a bewildering variety of cooked foods. The rich aroma of exotic spices and prepared meals filled the air.
We had a pleasant experience in the market until we stumbled onto the flesh section. Mom caused some embarrassing commotion when she vomited at the sight of the flesh.
So we decided to visit something less challenging and found ourselves going to museums and galleries. The tour guides in each institution we came to explained the history of this island while showing a collection of historical artifacts and artworks. It offered a captivating glimpse into the ancient human civilizations that once inhabited this region, and their struggles and triumphs.
We decided to have our last meal of the day in the city. With many of the buildings crammed in the city center, the place we had access to the open air lay at the top of the building. We watched the sun setting on the horizon.
As we ate through a platter of addictive fritters, Mom said that we venlil did construct similar dense settlements. Her explanation surprised me at first, as I almost forgot that Mom used to work as a civil engineer. She then explained that dense arrangements for habitats like this only made sense in colonies that lacked land or breathable air.
Humans seemed to have other motivations. They prefer gathering close to one another, creating bustling metropolises to allow for large swaths of untouched land for their wildlife.
So today, having learned to navigate the urban labyrinth of the Capital, I bid a temporary farewell to my mother at the outskirt station. Her exploration of this city would take her further out, where she would visit one of the human agricultural facilities. On the other paw, my destination lay at the heart of downtown.
Once I arrived at the downtown station, I switched on my visual overlay, allowing it to project directional instructions across my visual field. It painted a pathway to my destination through the tunnels and covered walkways. The direction landed me in one of the city's gargantuan towers.
The visual overlay translated the name of the school in venscript. Since humans write horizontally, the resulting translation turns a quarter circle. The sign above the entrance says:
"State Elementary School #1"
Number one? I suppose in a city this big, they did need more than one school. Under the sign, I spotted a human figure standing. She waved her arms and I could tell that she had waited for me. When I got closer, I made out the warm and inviting expression on her face
"Hi, I'm Andin, and you must be Principal Vichak?" Her voice sounded melodious and soft for a human. The human clasped her hands in front of her and bowed.
"Hi Principal Andin, nice to meet you," I replied to her with the same gesture. "I can't wait to see your school."
"Excellent! Follow me," she said. Her billowy one-piece dress twirled around her when she turned around.
Andin led me through the lobby and toward a balcony overseeing the heart of this educational facility, an internal atrium spanning three stories in height. The humans embedded the school inside one of their superstructure, and due to the lack of outdoor space, this architectural feature provided a simulated outside area where young humans could engage in physical activity and socialize. A synthetic material replicating grass covered the atrium's floor. Simulated sunlight streamed projected from the ceiling bathed the area in warm daylight.
An assortment of colorful play structures and exercise apparatuses dotted the periphery of the atrium. I presume they provided the students with ways to release those predator energies. Balconies jutted out from each floor, giving educators an overview of the bustling space and enabling effective supervision during playtime. The classrooms and learning spaces surrounded the atrium. As we walked past, I noticed that several of the glass panes had turned opaque.
"I read from the sign that this is an Elementary School. How old are your students?"
"Our elementary school caters to students from the first through fourth grades, so they are between six to ten years old. However, we sometimes admit older students. For instance, we have a few twelve-year-olds in the fourth grade."
Something felt a bit off from her answer. "What's next for them after this?" I probed.
"After completing their time here, students move on to four years of middle school, followed by another four years of high school. During high school, they can choose a specialization before they move on to university."
Her response left me flabbergasted. "Twelve years of education?" I said in disbelief. "It takes a full twelve years to complete education here?"
"Uh... yeah. That's pretty much the standard timeframe for education all over the planet. Just... how long does it take for you to finish your mandatory education?"
"Seven years," I responded. "By the age of thirteen, kids can start two years of vocational school and most venlils started working at fifteen."
Andin's eyes widened, "Wait, you have children working full-time at fifteen?"
"No, they're not children. They're adults." I realized that humans might have different lifespans. "What's... your age of majority here?"
"In this country, people can vote at the age of seventeen. But in our local culture adulthood starts at twenty." Andin explained.
"Alright, maybe we have a different lifespan?" Andin suggested, echoing my thought. "What's the typical lifespan of a venlil?"
"The average life expectancy hovers around ninety years, although many people live past one hundred," I explained. I wonder if perhaps humans live much longer? I didn't expect predators to live long, but humans tend to defy the norm.
"We had the same lifespan," Andin admitted.
"Wait... what?"
"Maybe we have a different education system?" She suggested again. Andin offered me her pad. "Feel free to observe any class that interests you. Here you can see the schedule for today." The contents had been translated into Ventongue. It presented a timeline of various subjects that took place throughout the day.
As my eyes skimmed over the list, one caught my attention. "Can you explain physical education?"
"In this class, we teach children how to exercise." she explained, "In fact, a PE class should begin now."
An adult human arrived on the field, followed by human children chattering and making all sorts of kid noises. They sounded just like venlil juveniles. At the command of the teacher, the students aligned themselves into a tidy grid pattern. A rhythmic melody started to play, filling the atrium with an energetic ambiance. The teacher at the front began to move in sync with the music, demonstrating a series of actions that the children mirrored.
"What are they doing?" I asked, intrigued.
"They're warming up to prepare for the activity ahead."
They performed various movements, the fluidity and synchronization of which appeared almost like a dance to my venlil eyes.
Once the 'warm up' concluded, several large, blocky objects rolled into the atrium. With a series of arm gestures from the teacher, these objects positioned themselves around the area. Some expanded to form rudimentary structures complete with roofs, transforming the atrium into some sort of tiny city.
The children gathered in a circle. Following a brief, excited chatter, they each presented a hand, some with palms facing upward, others showing the backs of their hands. According to some unspoken rule, those showing the backs of their hands stepped back, causing the circle to contract. This ritual continued and I figured out that the group with the most members excused themselves until one kid remained.
"Ah, it seems they're playing 'Hide and Seek' today," Andin commented, watching the unfolding scene with a warm smile.
"Hide and Seek? What's that?"
"One child plays as the 'cat' while the others will play as the 'mice'," she explained, her expression turning somewhat hesitant. "Ah... perhaps this wasn't the most appropriate activity for you to observe."
My translator didn't quite capture the nuances of 'cat' and 'mice', but I gathered they referred to Earth animals. The child designated as the 'cat' stood in the center of the atrium, standing near a pole with their eyes covered, while the 'mice' scattered, seeking shelter behind the fabricated structures and blocks.
The 'cat' began a loud countdown. Upon reaching zero, they removed palms hands from their eyes and commenced their search. A realization struck me as the 'cat' started prowling around.
"This... is," I murmured, taken aback by the implication of the game. "You're simulating a hunt."
From time to time, the humans can't help but remind me that despite their friendliness and civility, they had a history as predators.
"Well... yeah, when you put it like that…" she paused. "But, the children didn't see it as a hunting simulation. I mean… I doubt that none of them will become a hunter when they reach adulthood. Most of us nowadays don't hunt."
"I understand." I looked down and the cat had found a mouse, chaos ensued as the two of them rushed to the pole. The mouse touched the pole first and laughed. "You humans do need an outlet for your aggression to maintain a civil society."
"What? No…" Said Andin. "We have Physical Education to encourage a habit of fitness."
"So, you don't feel the urge to get violent, sometimes?"
"Most of us don't. Those with that kind of urge receive treatments so they don't harm themselves or other people."
I looked down at the human children below. Despite their concerning activity, they looked like they enjoyed it.
"But if this display makes you uncomfortable, we can see other classes."
I looked at the pad, where another class intrigued me.
"You have an art class? In elementary school?"
"Yeah, it encourages creativity… you don't have art classes?"
"No, those with the aptitude will go to art colleges after they graduate from school."
"Oh…" She gave me a look that I think signifies pity? "Are there other things you don't see in Venlil school?"
"The English class seems interesting. I noticed that most of your people can speak in English when needed."
"Heh, that one is contentious." She chuckled. "English is waning now, and people proposed that we teach our kids Chinese, Hindi, or Swahili for the foreign language class. I take it… you don't have a foreign language class?"
"We do, but… like art school, you learn it at the university level, usually as part of a Foreign Relation Studies. Because foreign languages are spoken by other species."
"Interesting." Again, she gave me that concerned look. "So, do you want to see the art class or the language class?"
"Art class. I think."
"Sure, let's go," Andin said, guiding me down the stairs toward the art classroom.
Upon entering the room, chaos greeted us. An eclectic array of children's artwork adorned the walls, showcasing vibrant landscapes, portraits, abstract shapes, and depictions of what I assumed were various earth creatures.
"Ah, Principal Andin," the art teacher greeted us with an inviting smile as we entered. "And we have Principal Vichak as well!"
"Meet Harta, our art teacher," Andin introduced me.
The moment we entered the room, a sea of young faces turned towards us. It felt like a forest of eyes scrutinizing us.
"Children, say hello to our visitor today, Principal Vichak."
"Good morning, Principal Vichak!" They speak in harmony. The children then refocused on their tasks, their hands returning to their brushes and colored pencils.
Some students here worked alone, while others collaborated in small groups. In one corner, I spotted a screen displaying 3D artwork, sculptures made from what looked like recycled materials, clay, and even intricate artwork made of folded paper.
"Today we have a free-form class," Harta explained. "With your visit, I asked them to make something about our two species."
Several children gathered around a large screen at one end of the room, using it to sketch out their designs before replicating them on canvas. They drew scenes of humans and venlils with a level of technical skill and creativity that amazed me, considering the young age of these kids. In one section, busy children molded a piece of clay, their tiny hands trying to create something that looked like a venlil.
"But how do you evaluate their work?" I asked, confused. "And for that matter, how do you grade students in the Physical Education class?"
"In this school system, we don't include art and physical education to determine if a student has what it takes to continue to the next grade," Andin clarified.
"We do give individual feedback to each child," Harta chimed in. "We aim to ensure their personal growth and development, not just their academic achievement."
"Indeed," Andin asserted, her voice reflecting a sense of profound conviction. "The role of the school has evolved over time. These days, we don't work just as a hub for academic instruction, but as a second home where children learn essential life skills. We work hand-in-hand with parents to nurture these young minds, helping them develop into thoughtful and responsible individuals."
This notion brought back memories of my own school back on our homeworld. People would often refer to our school as a "nursery" due to our additional class on socializing and communication. I remember Renata, the human psychologist stationed in our homeland, said that my school had the basis of a well-rounded education. Here I learned just how more "rounded" we need to be.
Throughout the day, we ventured into different classrooms, each offering a snapshot of the subjects covered in human elementary education. The STEM classes felt lackluster by my standards. However, I soon appreciated their teaching approach which encouraged students to arrive at their conclusions.
On the other hand, the social studies and citizenship curriculum appeared more intricate, which made sense, given the complex social structures of the human race, a species as varied and divided as the primitive yotuls.
Midday brought a meal break, during which I had the chance to mingle with some of the other faculty members. I learned that a significant portion of the adults currently abstained from food and drink, on account of what they called the "fasting month". Andin observed the fast as well, but she kept me company in the cafeteria despite her abstinence from eating.
"Are you sure it's alright for me to eat while you're fasting?" I asked, somewhat.
"Of course," she assured me, her face warmed by a gracious smile. "Self-restraint is a fundamental aspect of being human."
Self-restraint, a quality I found woven into the fabric of human nature. Despite the invasion hurling their world into chaos, humans displayed remarkable restraint, refraining from lashing out in anger.
Post-meal, our educational exploration resumed. The sheer number of classes devoted to non-academic skills struck me. For instance, they had a class dedicated to environmental education, where they instructed young learners on how to care for their planet. Another class, called Health and Wellness, focused on areas such as hygiene, nutrition, safety, emotional well-being, and mental health. My visit coincided with a session of "meditation", a peculiar human practice to calm themselves. When I observed the children sitting in tranquil silence with eyes closed and serene music enveloping the room, I realized that they do have a method of quelling aggression, by nurturing a peaceful disposition.
The complexities of human pedagogical methods began to dawn upon me. The length of their educational journey lasted longer than ours because of this multifaceted curriculum. They didn't focus just on the injection of academic knowledge, but they also introduced human development in theirs. Even their academic lessons went beyond feeding students with facts and figures. Instead, they encouraged a more gradual learning pace that fostered independent thinking.
Such an extensive approach to education daunted me. Could we even implement such a model in our venlil school? Considerable obstacles lay on our path, given the expectations of parents and our society at large, who were accustomed to a quicker, more streamlined education.
In any case, my day reached its conclusion, and my time to depart came. When I bid her farewell, Principal Andin provided me with a binder filled with artwork created by the students, along with personal messages for me and the students back at my own school.
I had time to reflect and consider as I walked toward the downtown station. I recalled how Andin and Harta viewed the institution not as a place of learning, but as a secondary caregiver, working hand-in-hand with parents to nurture the holistic development of their young ones.
On my way to the station, my mother called. She informed me she would be coming downtown so we could share a last meal of the day together.
"How did the farm tour go, mama?" I queried, eager to hear about her day.
"It was enlightening," she replied, leaving me curious about her experience. "And what about your day?"
"Oh, mama," I began, a sense of excitement rising in my voice, "I had an extraordinary day."
Afterwords: Humans with their 22nd century education.
Somehow this is the longest chapter I have ever written. Also note on my update schedule. I'm posting update on every date divisible by 3. That means some updates can appear 96 hours later when the last post is on 30th and the month ends in 31st,

I was wondering on what your did you guys think was the best and the worst one, based on the setlist.
I’d say brothers was the best and turn blue as the worse. I think this because for the borrowers tour they were playing a healthy amount of the there new and old material while I think the turn blue tour was bad because all they were playing was el Camino and brothers, barely any turn blue which is crazy and none from the first 4 albums.

Hello hivemind,
I am taking a tour to Sweden and I hear that the standard practice is to use the venues front cover. Coming from the UK this isn't really what I'm used to (at least at this scale).
We are touring our own (smallish) box set & will need to refocus the front covers wherever we go. Does this mean we will need to tour our own front cover units or will we have to use the venues? All shows are in and up in 1 day on the tour.

Should we close the sub during the big old reddit protest? I know we are all on this sub 15 + hours a day waiting for an inevitable world tour, complete discography vinyl rerelease, and new 7 part album announcement. But sometimes we gotta throw bricks, ya know?
Idk I don't even use an app, I use the mobile site because it's super inconvenient and keeps me off reddit so it doesn't effect me. But police violence towards minority doesn't effect me directly but I still sure as fuck went to those protests.
What say ye heathens. I'm for it.

I have tickets for next Tuesday at Riverbend Music Center and I live in Columbus, I am trying to get thoughts on getting to the venue on time. I have seen a bunch of posts about people missing half the show trying to get parked and into the venue on this tour. So can anyone advise me on the best case scenario for me to avoid that, specific to Cincinnati? Thanks in advance.

Genuine question.
I can't recall people (i.e. 2nd gen fans) saying in any volume when the 3rd gen broke through, "their popularity doesn't mean much until they prove it in touring", yet it's a fairly common rebuttal when people bring up 4th gen groups being more popular than 3rd. I remember TVXQ fans would bring it up a bit but that was basically 95% Japan so was played little heed.
Considering general popularity in kpop is fleeting with groups peaking in the first 2/3 years (including a lot of 3rd gen groups), why do we now need to wait for a few years for a decent sized tour to judge them as more popular when popularity is incredibly dynamic and always changing? I can't recall people waiting years until Twice did a decent sized tour to judge them as biggemore popular than SNSD for example.
It just feels very convenient that the 3rd gen groups, who got a massive boost in touring due to Covid-19 and all its impact, now has fans that think touring is the main barometer to judge a groups success and popularity.
Album sales? Inflated by versions and new markets that the 4th gen benefit from, downplayed
Digitals? Everyone knows the public tire of acts quickly so doesn't mean much when comparing against older acts
Touring? Needs a big discography for a decent sized tour, can take years to do i.e. beneficial to older acts who have years building up a discography and their fandom - very important now.
Has anyone else noticed the massively increased focus on touring?

Hello all! Posted a few weeks back for feedback on my trip to Italy and wanted to follow up on lessons learned. We spent 3 days in Sorrento, 2 days in Rome, and 2 days in Venice, with a travel day on either side. Weather was low 70’s to 80 almost every day, and we walked about 7-8 miles each day visiting sites. All packed into a carry on with room to spare for shopping, and used my crossbody as my under seat item on the plane.

• Jeans: packed but never wore. Extremely popular in Rome/Venice though
  
• Rain coat/umbrella: packed but never wore/used. It rained on one tour but they were selling ponchos everywhere and my linen skirt dried extremely fast
  
• Blouses: the fitted tanks looked the best with my wide leg pants/maxi skirts so wish I had brought one more and left one of the blouses behind
  
• Only wore the blue dress and red skirt once each so likely could’ve omitted
  
• White linen tank: honestly forgot it was in my luggage so never wore
  
• Athletic outfit: I wish I had worn something with some recovery on the plane as I was a wrinkly/baggy mess with my linen and cotton items after 19 hours of travel each way
  
• Long sleeve linen shirt was perfect as a casual cover up for many activities, very happy I brought this
  
• Linen was everywhere, so very happy with my linen items and they felt very in sync with what others were wearing. I bought a mini travel iron and it was perfect to run over the major wrinkles from packing before wearing
  
• Cardigan: Floral dress didn’t wrinkle and was perfect to change into for dinners, but wish I had brought the cardigan for a nicer shoulder cover up vs. just using the shawl I brought. Would’ve looked cuter with most outfits too than the blue button down linen blouse
  
• Brought no rinse detergent to wash items between wears if needed and socks/underwear - worked very well but in Sorrento it took 2 days to dry because of the humidity, but I was able to pack just 4 pairs of underwear and 3 socks and wash my pants/tops if they got sweaty
  
• White sneakers: looked cute with many outfits but as I expected became extremely dirty during the Vesuvius hike on day 3
  
• Birkenstocks were amazing - packed flat, could wear for hours, went with many outfits, were very popular with other travelers too
  

Overall pretty happy with what I brought. I tried to balance the advice given to me before and how I know I like to dress. I felt like my outfits were not out of place and in line with many of the other tourists/visitors and I was comfortable in my clothes. Could’ve simplified more so good to know for the next trip! Thanks to everyone who provided feedback last time I posted, I hadn’t traveled in a few years so was very unsure.

When you finish reading this article, you may well kick yourself. The good news is that the Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX: E) (OTCQB: ETOLF) growth is just getting started. While hindsight is 20/20, the future looks very bright for this consolidator of energy services (including specialized equipment rental to the energy/resource sector), including one of the first companies to build and release systems and plans to drastically lower GHG emissions of resource companies. (Opened in Apr 2022).
Cool as that is, it isn’t the good part the graph below shows the price growth of Enterprise (orange line on the graph below) over the last two years against all the major indices (group like a rainbow at the bottom).
If you bought the shares a couple of years ago, congrats. The second-best time is today. I will give you the most up-to-date info and stats. If you don’t come out with a positive attitude about the shares, I can’t help you.
I will list the salient reasons why a little (or a lot) of the Company should be in your portfolio. Over and above the fact it smoked the major US Indices.
These points will be in some order, but all are powerful forces to grow the Company.

1. The shares closed on Friday, May 26th, 2023, at CDN 0.475 cents—a 52-week high.
   
2. If you bought the shares two years ago, they cost around CDN 0.20 (Returns later).
   
3. FY 2022 Earnings of CDN 0.05 (Next fact is impressive)
   
4. Q1 2023 Earnings of CDN 0.06 a share.)
   
5. To date, the Company has purchased and canceled nearly 11 million Enterprise shares at an average cost of CDN 0.24
   
6. ENTERPRISE management puts much time and effort into the company’s growth, mainly for its shareholders’ benefit.
   

For more context of most recent earnings (and for those more visual investors among us) announcement’s power, comparing Q1 2023 to FY 2022 is productive.
FY2022 Numbers
Revenue: CA$26.9m (up 44% from FY 2021).
Net income: CA$2.28m (up from CA$2.38m loss in FY 2021).Net Profit margin: 8.5% (up from a net loss in FY 2021). The move to profitability was driven by higher revenue.EPS: CA$0.05 (up from CA$0.049 loss in FY 2021).
Factors That Will Drive Future Growth. A Lot.

• The oil and gas CAPEX market size was around USD 502 billion in 2020, and it is anticipated to reach around USD 942 billion in 2027, registering a CAGR of around 8.1% during the forecast period 2022-2027…Hence, to meet the strong global demand for crude oil and natural gas, more investment is required for exploration and production activities, which in turn promulgates the CAPEX in the oil and gas industry. (researchandmarkets.com)
• “The BC government breached the Treaty Rights of the Blueberry River First Nations, says a new provincial court ruling that could have sweeping implications for oil, gas, forestry and hydroelectric development in the northeastern part of the province.” (Narwhal)
• With a stellar reputation, personal relationships with nearly all the resource companies in Western Canada and a stated plan to work with clients to reduce and eventually eliminate GHG emissions, Enterprise is in an excellent and virtually peerless position to benefit from The Blueberry/BC Supreme Court Decision.
• Enterprise’s senior officers, including CEO and President Leonard Jaroszuk, have embarked on a cross-country tour, visiting investors, financial professionals and others involved in the capital markets to emphasize the growth and potential of the Enterprise.
• Given the rise in Capex spending and the growth of the resource industry as the ‘Green Economy’ gets underway over the next several years, Enterprise is in the ‘sweet’ spot.
• The reality of energy production growth represents several things. First, as Green Tech develops, a growing supply of fossil fuels globally will be needed.
• Resource companies and suppliers such as Enterprise Group will need to continue, with its peers, to create the most benign (and ever more relevant) GHG mitigation production technologies and processes.
• Oil and Gas CAPEX spending growth over the following years also bodes exceptionally well for the oil and gas service sector. From resource technology company Schlumberger:

Bottom Line
When shareholders and investors dive into the Company’s advances, they will note the following. 1. Enterprise’s client base constantly grows, including several Tier One companies added in 2022 2. Uninterrupted annual Cash Flow; a portion used to buyback market shares 3. Response to Evolution Power Projects has exceeded corporate expectations. 4. Offer clients custom technologies to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. 5. Blueberry First Nations opens a vast opportunity to add significant business.

After reading all the foregoing facts, if you aren’t moved to pick up some shares, as I said at the outset, I can’t help you.

When you finish reading this article, you may well kick yourself. The good news is that the Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX: E) (OTCQB: ETOLF) growth is just getting started. While hindsight is 20/20, the future looks very bright for this consolidator of energy services (including specialized equipment rental to the energy/resource sector), including one of the first companies to build and release systems and plans to drastically lower GHG emissions of resource companies. (Opened in Apr 2022).

Cool as that is, it isn’t the good part the graph below shows the price growth of Enterprise (orange line on the graph below) over the last two years against all the major indices (group like a rainbow at the bottom).
If you bought the shares a couple of years ago, congrats. The second-best time is today.
I will give you the most up-to-date info and stats. If you don’t come out with a positive attitude about the shares, I can’t help you.
I will list the salient reasons why a little (or a lot) of the Company should be in your portfolio. Over and above the fact it smoked the major US Indices.
These points will be in some order, but all are powerful forces to grow the Company.

1. The shares closed on Friday, May 26th, 2023, at CDN 0.475 cents—a 52-week high.
2. If you bought the shares two years ago, they cost around CDN 0.20 (Returns later).
3. FY 2022 Earnings of CDN 0.05 (Next fact is impressive)
4. Q1 2023 Earnings of CDN 0.06 a share.)
5. To date, the Company has purchased and canceled nearly 11 million Enterprise shares at an average cost of CDN 0.24
6. ENTERPRISE management puts much time and effort into the company’s growth, mainly for its shareholders’ benefit.

For more context of most recent earnings (and for those more visual investors among us) announcement’s power, comparing Q1 2023 to FY 2022 is productive.

Factors That Will Drive Future Growth. A Lot.

• The oil and gas CAPEX market size was around USD 502 billion in 2020, and it is anticipated to reach around USD 942 billion in 2027, registering a CAGR of around 8.1% during the forecast period 2022-2027…Hence, to meet the strong global demand for crude oil and natural gas, more investment is required for exploration and production activities, which in turn promulgates the CAPEX in the oil and gas industry.

• “The BC government breached the Treaty Rights of the Blueberry River First Nations, says a new provincial court ruling that could have sweeping implications for oil, gas, forestry and hydroelectric development in the northeastern part of the province.” (Narwhal)
• With a stellar reputation, personal relationships with nearly all the resource companies in Western Canada and a stated plan to work with clients to reduce and eventually eliminate GHG emissions, Enterprise is in an excellent and virtually peerless position to benefit from The Blueberry/BC Supreme Court Decision.
• Enterprise’s senior officers, including CEO and President Leonard Jaroszuk, have embarked on a cross-country tour, visiting investors, financial professionals and others involved in the capital markets to emphasize the growth and potential of the Enterprise.
• Given the rise in Capex spending and the growth of the resource industry as the ‘Green Economy’ gets underway over the next several years, Enterprise is in the ‘sweet’ spot.
• The reality of energy production growth represents several things. First, as Green Tech develops, a growing supply of fossil fuels globally will be needed.
• Resource companies and suppliers such as Enterprise Group will need to continue, with its peers, to create the most benign (and ever more relevant) GHG mitigation production technologies and processes.
• Oil and Gas CAPEX spending growth over the following years also bodes exceptionally well for the oil and gas service sector. From resource technology company Schlumberger:

Bottom Line
When shareholders and investors dive into the Company’s advances, they will note the following.

1. Enterprise’s client base constantly grows, including several Tier One companies added in 2022
2. Uninterrupted annual Cash Flow; a portion used to buyback market shares
3. Response to Evolution Power Projects has exceeded corporate expectations.
4. Offer clients custom technologies to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
5. Blueberry First Nations opens a vast opportunity to add significant business.

No matter if it's a Grand Tour, a pilgrimage or whatever, at some point my game crashes during every activity not letting me finish it. Does anyone know anything about this and how to fix it? Thanks.

Regarding your paid Nugs shows for couch tourers...I know they say you have 48 hours to rewatch is that from the time you 1st rewatch or from the actual realtime end of your specific show ? I wasn't able to watch straight through 1st time. Know some more technically inclined know some capture tricks to preserve. Tried the game bar trick but audio is really splotchy. May be a moot point as my time may expire before I try again...suggestions/help appreciated. Bristow was a real good time I'd love to be able to watch at my leisure instead of trying to beat a countdown timer. Thanks fam and remember be kind ,safe and expect traffic to suck and plan accordingly. So far this has been a special tour for D&Co but remember TMNS 💀🌹🎸⚡

So, I’ve wanted to play Guitar Hero again after 5 years without playing it. I grab my guitar but I notice I’ve lost my receiver. After searching everywhere, I bought one dirt cheap for 5€ that comes with a broken guitar.
But when I plug it in on the PS3, the light doesn’t flash or anything, nothing happens. I’ve tried plugging a controller to the usb hub and it works, so at least the cable on the receiver actually functions and does a pass through. The problem is that the light doesn’t show up at all.
I’ve plugged into the PS3 and PS5, nothing happens but does the pass through. When I plugged in into my Windows 11 PC, device manager says that it’s a “Unknown USB Device” and the pass through once again works.
Can somebody tell me what can I do next? My World Tour guitar works and flashes looking for a receiver, but it never finds it. The model number on the guitar and receiver match and it should work.

5 Days left!

My fiance and I recently moved out of our respective houses to get our first apartment together. We took her cat with us which is about 7 years old now. It took a day or two for her to adjust but it has been smooth sailing every since. We have a very happy cat!
Now, the problem we are encountering is in July we got on a week long vacation with most of her family.
The options we are going through are as follows:

1. Bring our cat back to fiance's childhood home to stay with the other two cats in the house who will already be being fed by a friend in the area. Our cat has a great relationship with one cat and could sometimes get into spats with the cat younger than her, but otherwise they get along. Our main concern is just changing her surroundings again and her abstaining from eating or using a litter box when someone isn't around to monitor her. When we brought her to the apartment she didn't eat much the first day but had no issue using her litter box. She would only be taken care of by the friend for 2 nights as my fiance's sister is leaving vacation early due to work. Our cat is familiar with this house as it is where she spent her entire life after she was fostered before we took her to the apartment.
2. Leave our cat in the apartment and trust someone in my family to check on her a few times a day. My family has little to no experience with cats and our cat isn't really adjusted to them as they are not at our apartment much. She is very shy with new people. Our cat also tends to get zoomies when she wants attention or food and could be very loud. Being in a second floor apartment we do not want to get complaints about noise with us not being around to get her to calm down.

I know this probably seems like a no brainer but both of us are pretty stressed about it. It might help us to get opinions from other cat owners who may have dealt with similar situations!
