![]() ![]() That’s the sense of disenchantment and disease that lies the heart of their latest and sixth full-length album, A History of Nomadic Behavior. Since 1988, they've been a soundtrack for the troubled masses. Sign up for the 10 to Hear newsletter here.New Orleans’ EYEHATEGOD is the snarling, bilious sound of dead-end America. (Pitchfork earns a commission from purchases made through affiliate links on our site.)Ĭatch up every Saturday with 10 of our best-reviewed albums of the week. For those of us who want Eyehategod to keep doing this for a long time to come, it’s a welcome evolution. For those who were drawn primarily to Eyehategod’s apocalyptic self-annihilation, History’s unadorned blues riffs and fully legible lyrics might be a bridge too far. Likewise, it’s impossible to listen to A History of Nomadic Behavior without noting that Williams’ cleaned-up life has coincided with his band’s cleaned-up sound. On early Eyehategod records, the songs, production style, and real-life depravity within the band were intertwined to the point of being indistinguishable. Just because he got a new liver doesn’t mean he’s punching his ticket for square society. On closing track and album highlight “ Every Thing, Every Day,” he repurposes the titular refrain of the Take as Needed for Pain classic “ Kill Your Boss” as a fuck-everything climax. “In that way it’s almost the same as a trigger on a gun, because it’s just as dangerous.” Sobriety aside, Williams hasn’t lost the piss-and-vinegar nihilism that made him a hero to dropouts and deadbeats in the early ’90s. “Anytime I’ve been to rehab or AA or NA, any of that stuff, they always talk about triggers, which can be anything that makes you want to use again,” he writes in the liner notes. On “ High Risk Trigger,” he shrieks about being “ deaf, jagged, and prowling,” like a man who is just barely outrunning his demons. Williams’s newfound sobriety is an undercurrent that runs through the album. That puts the spotlight even more squarely on Williams and Bower, now the only two original members remaining. History is the first Eyehategod full-length to feature Aaron Hill on drums Patton wasn’t replaced, making the band a four-piece for the first time. Drummer and founding member Joey LaCaze passed away shortly before the release of 2014’s Eyehategod, and longtime guitarist Brian Patton left the fold in 2018. Sadly, not everyone made it to the jam session. If 1996’s Dopesick sounded like overhearing an entire band going through heroin withdrawals together, History sounds like those same dudes reuniting years later to jam at the local VFW hall on a Wednesday night. Jimmy Bower’s detuned blues riffs stand front and center alongside Williams, still full of his trademark bends and vibrato but now with far fewer deliberate feedback squalls to drown out the notes. Williams has honed his formerly indecipherable howl into a pointed weapon he wants you to hear every word he’s singing. Though they’ve historically buried their songs in enough filth to leave you nauseous, the production on History is crisp and clear. A History of Nomadic Behavior emphasizes that fact more directly than any Eyehategod record to date. Even when Eyehategod was essentially inventing sludge metal on feedback-drenched early albums like 1990’s In the Name of Suffering and 1993’s Take as Needed for Pain, they were fundamentally a blues band. ![]()

It’s the one ring to rule them all, it’s a ring of power, and it looks pretty slick to boot. We’re ranking this #1 because of its extreme power potential …and the catch that comes with it. With not one, but two successful attempts at blowing these things up with a few well placed proton torpedoes …we're thinking the Empire should get some new engineers? Of course, it’s also kind of simple to destroy, too. If you resist, they’ll just blow up your planet. While it’s a battle station, the Death Star is essentially the ultimate weapon to strike fear into the hearts of those who oppose you. What if you cut up your hand during an intense battle when you didn't have time to think about avoiding said chainsaw? Good question. Where is the chainsaw? Under the barrel of the gun where one would normally hold their hand. Our guess is there would be a lot of emergency room visits just for misfired lightsabers piercing through your own body.įrom Gears of War fame comes the machine gun with a chainsaw bayonet. Let’s be honest, so many people would accidentally push that on/off button while their saber was holstered on their belt. ![]() Without the Force on your side, this means any regular Joe - or should we say any regular Finn? - is very likely to die before being able to use a lightsaber to its full potential. She’s a beaut, but the only people actually qualified to use these are nearly extinct. Maybe just change the name of these things, Bats. While this is likely more efficient in a fight, you’re still going to lose a ton of them the boomerang aspect still goes out the window. Then, in the Christopher Nolan interpretation, the batarang transformed into ones with sharp edges, functioning sort of like a ninja star. Now we’re just talking about a bunch of lost batarangs for Batman, or ones he just has to go pick up. He tends to use them as a blunt object, but really, if one were to throw a boomerang at someone and strike them, the whole boomerang part of returning to the thrower goes out the window. These can be dangerous to the thrower for sure, but not in the hands of Batman. It’s a wonderful toy, but mainly because if you read more into it’s name… it’s intended to just be a boomerang. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s that kind of humor-deceptively simple, usually eliciting giggles more than guffaws, but extremely likeable. And about one year ago, I rediscovered it in YouTube clips and, man, it has aged well.Įach 20-minute-episode opens with the very catchy theme song: “Sifl / and / Ol-ly / Sifl / and Olly / show!” (Now repeat 4x.) Midway through the song, they yell “rock!” and show a rock on the screen.Īnother recurring song, equally delightful, is when they take calls from the public the song goes: “Calls calls calls / calls from the public / calls calls calls, calls” and then a phone hits the operator in the head with a satisfying coconut thwack. I was 10 years old in 1997 and we didn’t have “cable” anyway (just the basic channels: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, UPN, WB), so it’s hazy to me how or why I even remember the show, but I recall being a big fan. Yes, a sock puppet show, but what a sock puppet show it was! As charming as it was low-budget. If you have no idea what Sifl and Olly was, the briefest and most succinct description would be: a sock-puppet show. I guess it was originally a TV thing, but now it’s definitely an internet thing. Mine has to be The Sifl and Olly Show, which was on MTV from 1997 to 1999-the days when MTV was “music television” and was funky and, often, weird (in the best sense). content aggregator/curator, before those were dirty words), this week asked people for their favorite under-the-radar internet things.

During the videos Sifl, Olly, and Chester would pop onto the screen doing some dance or gag. It's Almost the End of the Show - The show usually wrapped up with Sifl and Olly doing a musical number.ĭuring the second season of the show, MTV edited down some of the episodes and inserted music videos. In it, Sifl & Olly read the letters and Chester responded to them. Letters to Chester - As a follow up to 'A Moment With Chester,' they introduced this new segment. The segment would end with Precious Roy making a comment on the item, but due to his loss of senility, he usually says something totally out of the blue.Ī Moment with Chester - Chester, Sifl and Olly's friend, would come on and do an interview. They would then take calls from people who have already bought the products. Olly would go crazy during his sales-pitch. Precious Roy - In order to help finance the show, Sifl and Olly would sell merchandice that Precious Roy himself made. Rock! - Pretty much self explanatory, Sifl and Olly would break out in song. The answers were usually made up and non-sensical, but Olly made it clear that Bjork was off limits. Rock Facts - Sifl and Olly would ask a question, either before commercial or during the show pertaining to rock history. ![]() The interviews then were either substituted with another lesser interviewee or Olly would dress up as the person. ![]() Usually Sifl had forgotten to book the star or spent all the money on some lame scheme or product.

To give you an example: Dota 2 has a preference under Video / Audio that you can use to change the display mode from fullscreen to window or borderless window. Just open the preferences and go through them one by one to find out if the game you want to run in a window offers that option natively. Some programs let you change the display mode - including whether to run them in full screen mode or not - in the program preferences. This is the easiest option to try, which is why I have selected it as the first choice in this regard. Some games change the mode to window automatically when you use the shortcut, while some won't. The first thing that you may want to try is hit the Alt-Enter key on your keyboard while the game is running in fullscreen mode. This guide looks at the various options that you have to run computer games, old or new, in a window instead of full screen. While some games offer options to play them in window mode right away, others may not and that is were the problems begin. One solution for that particular issue is to run the game in windowed mode. Maybe I've helped others on the fence too.The screen resolution for instance may be set to 640x480 or even less, which looks out of place on modern HD monitors. I know I might have rambled a bit but I think I have made up my mind: 1440p definitely 32" 16:9, MAYBE splurge for the 34" 21:9. At ~$600 (and almost as much as my 55" 4k TV) its a stretch, but if it last 10 years, I can't see replacing it anytime soon. It might even be possible to get a 34" 1440p ultrawide w/165Hz (Samsung). ![]() So, after some selling and even birthday gift money, 32" 1440p is doable. (I know, that is a sin for many at VOGONS) And I'm actually selling some of my retro hardware like my voodoo 3 3000's to help pay for it. I'm older and have more disposable income but I don't have THAT much disposable income. And even once GPUs hit MSRP again, driving 4K means more money. 4K at anything higher than 60Hz starts around $900-$1000. 32" 1440p curved monitors with Freesync and 144Hz+ are affordable $350-ish. I've also never spent the extra for high refresh rates. But 9" display height is starting to show its drawbacks.

My only regret is that it is not curved and although it is a 29" UW, vertically, it is 9" and no bigger that the 23" 1920x1080. It was the most expensive monitor I have bought at $350. It has Freesync and I've used it with an RX 480 and currently an RX 580. For the last 6 years I've been using a 29" ultrawide 2560x1080. My wife uses it now, had it for 10 years. Eventually had to replace the capacitors which gave me a few more years. First was a Viewsonic 1440x900 when LCDs were starting to get cheaper. Therr monitors over the last, roughly 20 years.

The Mavs (36-24) hope the spectacular shooting spree by Curry will continue when they play the Minnesota Timberwolves (17-41) on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. “He was looking like he had his shot, so it was kind of spectacular to see that.” “We were finding him (against the Heat) and he had it going,” point guard Luka Doncic said. That shows how far Seth Curry has come since his NBA career took off when he averaged a career-high 12.8 points and shot 48.1 percent from the floor and 42.5 percent from downtown when he was with the Mavs during the 2016-17 season. Stephen Curry’s coach – Steve Kerr – tops the list at 45.4 percent, Seth Curry is shooting 44.2 percent, Davis is third at 44.1 percent, Drazen Petrovic sits fourth at 43.7 percent and Stephen Curry rounds out the top five at 43.5 percent. But after his explosion against the Heat, Seth Curry has quietly moved past Hubert Davis and into second place in 3-point shooting percentage with at least 250 made threes in NBA history. What’s even more phenomenal is that the most ardent NBA fan would assume that Curry’s older brother – Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry – is the 3-point shot-making king in the Curry family. “His shooting of the basketball has been phenomenal during an important stretch here,” coach Rick Carlisle said. Over the last 10 games, the six-year veteran has averaged 18.9 points and shot a sizzling 56 percent from the field and an even hotter 57.6 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. ![]() “So it’s a matter of staying focused and locked in.”Īctually, Curry has been staying focused and locked in for quite some time. “You feel like if you touch the ball and any time you can get a shot up it’s like it’s going in,” Curry said. That’s how dialed in he was against the Heat. Now that we’ve got the stats I’m thinking we should have gotten him more involved – more shots.”įor Curry, it was as if he was standing on South Beach and the basket looked like the Atlantic Ocean. “Eight for nine (from 3-point range), that’s incredible. “He played great,” center Kristaps Porzingis said. It was obviously pleasing to the eye for Curry to see shot after shot find their intended destination.

Many of the top life insurance companies now use automated underwriting to accelerate the purchasing journey. Underwriters take all of these factors and classify the potential “risk” a client brings to their company in providing life insurance. Personal data details could include: occupation, health disorders, height/weight, whether or not the client smokes, family medical history, etc. Life insurance underwriting is the process of collecting personal, health-focused information on a client and using it to decide how much coverage to provide. Thus, full-stack insurtechs are able to better control the overall user experience. MGAs team up with licensed insurers and leverage their authorization to sell policies, while insurance partners handle the underwriting process. Some full-stack insurtechs, such as Clover Health, are even growing their customer numbers at a significantly faster pace than the industry average.Ĭomparatively, insurtechs operating as managing general agents (MGAs) share profits with their insurance partners. Since they don’t work with incumbents at all, these companies are able to retain the entire profit pool and have full control of policy creation and pricing. Seeing a lucrative opportunity in an industry filled with legacy players, full-stack insurtechs - insurtech carriers that operate using their own insurance license - are cropping up and poised to steal incumbent insurers’ revenue and market share. Insurtech startups use automated underwriting to analyze client data as well as flag errors and verify accuracy of work completed by human underwriters. Insurtech and insurance automation are broad terms to describe all technology that helps streamline the efficiency and operations of an insurance company - such as the insurance underwriting process. Automated insurance underwriting systems & benefits in 2022 While manual underwriting can be an attractive option for clients with a unique financial situation - such as being new to building credit or having previous financial problems - but for providers, it’s a drain on time and resources. Once the client is able to obtain and provide the underwriter with this information, the underwriter then needs to assess the potential risk in providing insurance to the client. ![]() ![]() Human underwriters require a great deal of paperwork, like bank statements, tax returns, proof of employment, medical history, demographic profile, and more. Manual insurance underwriting takes much longer to complete, and risks the chance of human errors, as it depends on a person to assess a client’s financial history. While automated insurance underwriting is completed quickly using advanced algorithms and software to analyze a client’s finances or health history, manual underwriting is the exact opposite. Automated vs manual insurance underwriting This, in turn, allows providers to generate a profit from underwriting and enhance customer satisfaction through more personalized policies. The advanced tech uses AI and machine learning (ML) to evaluate risk, decide how much coverage the client should receive, and how much they should pay for it.Īutomated insurance underwriting utilizes advanced AI and ML technology in tandem with the insurance company’s underwriting guidelines to determine whether or not to accept the risk presented by the client. What is automated insurance underwriting?Īutomated insurance underwriting is the process where robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) software underwrites the risk of potential clients. We’ve broken down how this process works, while noting how some companies are already reaping the benefits throughout the insurance value chain. The process of streamlining insurance underwriting is known simply as: automated insurance underwriting. Insurance companies that leverage advanced technology to automate the policy underwriting and risk assessment process will likely remain atop the list of their competitors. Whether they’re in the market for car, renters, or property insurance, consumers look for providers that can quickly and efficiently offer them the most affordable policy.
