  • I’ve thought for a while that road patrol was the laziest form of policing. This is compounded with the supreme court codifying that cops don’t have to know the laws they are enforcing and thereby allowed to make up probable cause. Combine that with the “us vs. them” mentality that is both heavily promoted in training, and is the character trait drawn to police work, and it’s like a perfect storm of shitty outcomes.

    I like the idea of getting rid of traffic cops and actually doing real police work. They’d have to hire smart people though.






  • I had this same problem trying to remember the name of Revel Rouser by Duane Eddy last weekend. Another instrumental. Tried explaining instruments, style, and did the vocalization thing like in the post (there’s a name for it, but can’t remember: anomonopea?) 5 rounds of refinement led to a bunch of cool wrong answers. Ddg found a site that I could hum the tune to, but it returned an “API Fail” error. A brief search to find song-identifying resources sent me to Google voice search, and although it was only a 19% match, (probably my lousy pitch) I was finally able to get rid of that nagging brain worm.

    Not the Kennedy Jr. kind…
