Neat! My Dean is a Korean mid 2000s ML. It’s far from heavy but I never noticed the weight until I picked it up seconds after putting a Les Paul down.

Maybe they were using lighter woods, a hollower body or maybe basses are just better weapons ;D

I skip the gym on days where I stand and play one for an hour or more.

Almost threw my dean across the room the first time I picked it up after playing a Les Paul.

Have you looked for providers that offer ETRN? Seems like that might fit your use case well.

I’ve hosted my own email for over a decade with very few issues. It’s low ram and CPU usage so a very cheap VM (or a pair in different locations if you wanna be leet) can be a viable way to avoid the ISP related issues people have trying to host it at home. If you really want it all ending up at home you can do ETRN as mentioned and while TCP/25 is often blocked at home, the submission port (TCP/587) rarely is.

I don’t watch a TON of these things, but I do enjoy them from time to time. The two bits I enjoy the most are vicarious rediscovery of something I enjoy, and getting a very different point of view on the same thing.

Generally when I watch these it’s stuff like “Classically trained musician listens to Megadeth for the first time”. I get reminded of some bits that I’ve grown accustomed to, and sometimes get a whole new perspective on something I’ve been enjoying for years.

I will say, I don’t get “Youtuber reacts to other youtubers reaction to some twitch streamer breakdancing” or “Gymrat listens to ABBA for the first time”.

The Ruin scream is solid for sure. My opinion is likely colored to some extent by nostalgia, but while the Ruin scream absolutely makes me want to get down, the Angel of Death scream makes me yearn for the pit. Just really hypes me up every time. I’ve never missed an Angel of Death pit at a Slayer show that I’ve attended.

I fell asleep during “A new hope” 3 times, and just stopped once out of boredom before I was finally able to make it through the whole movie. 100% feel you here. I respect it for what it is, and enjoy a lot of the stuff that has come after it, but man do I feel the original was just LIMP.

FWIW I’m using the downvote button as a “You didn’t explain”, “That’s a band not a movie”, “That’s a show not a movie”, “That’s a genre of animation, not a movie” button ;p I’m definitely clicking it far more often that I typically do =p

It’s wild how many people can write but not read.

Yes, they do fucking rule, and that opening scream is killer.

Infamous. Butcher.

Thanks!

I’m with you on not expecting to see change =/

As much as I want to enjoy posts like this one, I always ask myself this and it takes the joy out of it every time. It’s just a nice fantasy that reminds me of the “Nobody in this room know I …” meme.

It’s always “MAGAs are losing their minds over …”, but never any explanation or sourcing.

I use a hardware password manager that connects over USB or bluetooth for most things. The few things that I use often I have a system for, and that system is popular culture.

Love “The Prisoner of Azkaban”? Initialize it, and add the publish date some where: HP&TPoA|1999

Starship troopers fan? Initialize a memorable quote. “The enemy can not push a button… if you disable his hand. Medic!”: Tecnpab…iydhh.M! Need numbers? Find a quote with numbers, or add the release year, or the number of times you watched it that one weekend where you and a friend watched it 32 times.

Like TV shows more? How about the fourth episode of family guy: S1-MindOverMuder-E4.

Metal Fan? I do love track three off of Metallica’s 1983 album: #3|Motorbreath-1983

Etc.

Toasty!

Broadly: How sad.

Musically: I caught the change and definitely thought it was unusual. It brought a mildly aggressive feel to the later section of the song.

If I’m remembering right it opens in Dm and then goes down to F#m after the first chorus. So pitch wise a shift downward, but maybe you’re talking counter clockwise on the circle of fifths or something?

Edit: when I first commented I either didn’t see the Strawberry Fields reference or it wasn’t there yet. We’re probably not talking about the same thing, but definitely give the acoustic version of Pool Shark a listen.

Your Strawberry Fields reference made me curious though and I found this interesting snippet https://www.reddit.com/r/beatles/comments/5fgser/the_famous_splice_edit_in_strawberry_fields/

I’ve never been good at theory so I could be way off, but I think Sublimes “Pool Shark” does what you’re asking about.

No, I would not.

When I was somewhere in the late single digits to 11 years old I loved it. The idea of an overly complicated city wide scavenger hunt that had you solving riddles was just plain exciting. Rooting for the underdog? My new hobby. The whole thing was a very fun fantasy and everybody seemed so cool.

I watched it with a buddy a few years ago and “meh” about describes it. This is coming from someone who still genuinely laughs and dick and fart jokes =/.

It was however pretty easy to enjoy and make fun of some. I could not get over dudes plastic hat either, I want one.

Microsoft pivoted to Skype. Saved you a click and reading about 1000 words.

I’m not even interested in the username of the person I’m responding to. I tend to ignore it completely unless there’s a comment like “lol, username checks out”.

There are very few times I will bother to check someones profile. They have to either say something so awesome that I want to see more, or have given a take so hot I want to see if they’re trolling or if this is standard behaviour for them.

While it looks like the whole Jerboa/“miscommunication” thing has been sorted out here I want to chime in to say that no, I don’t think that checking profiles for anything is a reasonable expectation.
