Welcome to my TED talk. I'm a massive Tool and A Perfect Circle fan, going into this. I knew of Chevelle, the lovechild of Deftones and Tool with a sprinkle of Korn, but I always felt they sounded derivative, but over the last week, I've found a band far deeper than a song about someone who gets angry.

Nobody sounds like Pete Loeffler, and for some of you, that is likely a decently splitting opinion. He strains more than Maynard, but more for effect than difficulty, but he slurs out of feeling like Chino while having really clean fries, but he never goes 200% into a guteral scream like you'd hear in some Deftones tracks that are more on the hardcore side.

There's some Far, and Hum in this band and it almost sounds like a midwest emo band stopped their act entirely and moved to alternative rock one day, but kept some of the stringing, tightly worded lyrics and rhythms.

It's 2000's radio rock, but can that be done well? Well, yeah. I don't know that I would call Chevelle pop, per se, but for some odd reason, they can fit between a Britney Spears song and a Slipknot track and work. Any time feels like an ok time to hear a Chevelle track. Dude speeding from the cops? "Young Wicked". School Prom? "Shameful Metaphors". "Antisaint" could be played by any local band at a bar... sans the bridge because goddamn that bridge.

Their changes are subtle between albums, but at the same time, more distinct as time goes along. I think this is more due to losing the chains of being huge and having more artistic freedom in their later years. I'd like to vote that Sci-Fi Crimes is my favorite Chevelle album. There is not one bad track along the entire length, and in my opinion, is one of the greatest alternative rock albums of its era.

Melodic, heavy but aimed perfectly like a paintbrush and their lyrics are waaay deeper than most numetal or alt bands. Aliens, curses, love, family drama, drug abuse, politics, religion, and some is very clever.

Anyhoo, let an underdog of the 2000's have another listen. I love Chevelle. Great band with good integrity and it seems like a good dose of humility.

I did the whole xcaddy routine with the plugin and I moved it into /usr/bin and it works, displays my site, but I'm not blocking anything. I've edited and edited and restarted and I can't see the issue. My config matches many similar ones online. I figure someone might spot my blunder in my config, so here it is.

Everything that can go wrong appears to do just that.

A thief flags you down, grabs your phone and makes you unlock it using your thumb.

A cop opens the cop car door, grabs your hand and unlocks your phone, or even easier, face unlock.

Granted, guns and torture are rather effective as well, but is anyone entirely against fingerprint unlocking?

There's a lot to choose from. I use KeepassDX. Wondering about the others.

Also, how does the Matrix room work? I tried to join and it wouldn't let me through. Is it being maintained?

Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.

All used, of course. I'm not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

I've got quite a lot of rice and beans saved up, and some canned goods and I'm a mechanic by trade, 2nd least likely to die in an Apocalypse scenario, 1st being Doctors, of course.

I'm rural and have running water just a short walk from the property if the well stops pumping and I've got an old revolver with a few rounds in case I feel like checking-out early.

You guys?
