  1. Yeah they just popped up on my radar from this cover that’s a little viral. I’ve been listening today and I’m into it. This is another cover and yeah it’s the vocals
  2. Does that chest lead to Diagon Alley?
  3. I complained about people covering the Cranberries in one of the threads, because O’Riordan’s vocal make every Cranberries song. This is really good though -
  4. If you need help figuring out how to properly dispose of that comforter, the folks in Ohio can help you out.
  5. Repost of my sunburst Sunday to show the string swing case and guitar stand - before getting this thing I had the …. On-stage stands 6 or 7 guitar rack. This one is I think a fair bit pricier but it looks nicer and holds the guitars more securely, and takes up less space. IMO the rack is great for keeping lots of guitars out without just having them hanging everywhere.
  6. i feel like I should have a better understanding of this but I do not: the fact that nobody embeds threads anywhere - is this because that capability is not really available from Meta, or because it hasn't been widely adopted? I was never a big twitter user. Twitter kinda sucked as a "open it up and scroll" experience until you had followed enough accounts that you had lots of different things in your feed and presumably a well fed algorithm peppering in other shit that is likely to capture your attention. The thing that made twitter sticky and a place to go back to before reaching that point was that you constantly ran into it out in the broader internet - people sharing news links, sports stuff. Because it became the default way to share a postcard for the story that's on the other end of the link, or to share a small video clip or picture from someone near the source of an event unfolding right now. And threads, however long we are out now from it's launch, this is still not a thing that I've seen from it. The only thing that ever pulls me into Threads at this point is Meta themselves inserting Threads into instagram or facebook.
  7. So, both of our kids were in the snoo for the duration of their bassinet time. That makes things a little bit different because you're supposed to stop swaddling them once they can roll over (due to suffocation risk), but that's not the case with a snoo because they are fucking velcro'd down and cannot roll over. I think the short answer to your question though is yes, and specifically for my kids they reached an age (when you're supposed to be transitioning them out of the snoo anyways) where they want to be unswaddled and also do not want to be held in place in the snoo. We had the same experience with kid 1 where the snoo was amazing, she slept in it great, she started having "sleep regressions" and "teething" and having bad nights and we started making the plan to move her and what is our approach going to be with sleep training etc and then we plopped her in the crib and she fell asleep immediately. 3 nights in a row of full sleep for this daddy btw, living the life. Got damn. Interesting for both kids as well that they slept belly down after getting out of the snoo. I wonder what year every dad started taking this picture. I have a clear recollection of doing this for kid 1, wasn't sure if I did it for kid 2 but I just went and checked, there it is. But I also know I sat down to wait and fell asleep in the chair because this asshole has been keeping me up since he decided to bust out in the middle of the night. Da Fino is in it right now. Good luck buddy.
  8. What is that sg? Tweedy? how is the tuning stability with that tremolo, and is the truss cover the only part that has signature bullshit on it (if it is in fact a tweedy)?
  9. You have to have your cars inspected annually to pay a tax and get a sticker on your plate here in NC. I guess it’s not that different than Texas although the tax is more and I feel like it wasn’t annual in Texas. Anyways, today is the day. I pulled up to the inspection station - like a jiffy lube with two bays and cars line up. I got there and, out of two even lines, I picked the line that looked like the first car was almost done. A few minutes later another car arrived and pulled up next to me. And the entire time I’m waiting there’s a little gremlin in my head that is racing the other car and is very concerned about the fairness of me having arrived first and my car should get to the front of the line first. This is why I need a whole framework for letting go of things and training my mind to float with peace in the chaos of the universe. how are y’all doing today?
  10. Oh for sure, find it next to the rugs at Lowes or Home Depot. I also have a Lowes bucket that I use to soak clothes in oxiclean and hot water. And people swear by zote laundry soap - it’s a bar, you can rub it into the stain or shave some into the load of laundry. Folex and oxiclean are my jams for sure though with two little kids.
  11. you never end up getting in with the cute girl in algebra. you meet the punk rock girls from the other high school.
  12. Doing some guitar modding tonight
  13. Welp, I may have very well swaddled my last swaddle. Hanging up the hospital blanket. The little fucker has been angry crying in his snoo at night, including a really brutal Saturday night/Sunday morning. We finished putting the touches on his room - actually the end of a huge project since it was the wife's office, and she just started a new job so we ended up enclosing our dining room to make her a new office/peloton room. Got it all ready for him, I shed a single tear as I zipped him into a napsack, and that fucker was out all night. I honestly found it difficult to go to sleep in my own room without the noise machine droning in the background. he's also been really slow to roll over. he can totally do it, he just doesn't care. he finally eventually rolled over last night, first time i've seen him do it.
  14. I'll say a couple of things about the god thing - first off, I'm not trying to recruit people for AA and I honestly haven't gone to a meeting in a million years - I don't like the one near me (too churchy) and I have young children and there's nothing else convenient and I'd like to go but it's not a problem for me to not. The reasons why (or at least my interpretation of the reasons why) The way that the whole god thing and higher power thing works for me is that i am not the highest power in the universe i do not run the universe even my own life rests in whatever fate the universe has in store for me, and this is OK Something I've seen in criticism of AA is that in order to do AA you have to be super negative about yourself. I don't think that's the case at all, and none of the things I said above are negative, are reflective of low self esteem, are me being down about myself. Honestly if you disagree with any of the above statements except for maybe 3.1 you're an egomaniac. Most alcoholics are to some extent, and most alcoholics have a very difficult time letting things go, relaxing about things in general, and this is part of what drives us to drink. Internalizing that i do not run this shit, that for the vast majority of things that irk or worry me I should just move past them because it's not my problem or I don't have power over it - that was huge. And accepting that I really have a limited range of power over my own life and that that, too, is OK (we all live we all die, we do what we can while we're here and we wind up leaving the same way) - that's freedom. It's also not super negative to admit powerlessness over alcohol. If you're sitting in the room refusing to admit that, your ego is still trying to run shit. It's not rational. If you had any power over alcohol you'd have exercised it by now.
  15. That that’s an ‘86. One thing from the era that I know people like are Tim Shaw pickups. I don’t really know a ton about them other than that mine (as an 86 “pre” historic) likely has them and I like mine. I think that the customs had them as well. I think there's an article out there detailing them but this post from a thread that i can't seem to link to from mylespaul.com (found via google search just now) looks suspiciously clipped from some kind of source - Anyways, broadly the 80s are not a bright spot in Gibson history, but they made some cool guitars. People like the Shaw pickups, they don't like the short neck tenons, not sure what the particulars of your custom would be. That's a badass looking guitar. 80s feels like a good decade for a custom.
  16. Missed opportunity to use “Forged of a Fucked Up Fire”.
  17. Yeah fuck that bitch.
  18. Someone AI a Bevo into this
  19. Your mom is flat
  20. if i think back on my life there are a lot of moments where I'm able to appreciate how much of a dumbass I was (and how much of a dumbass I must still be). One of those moments was shortly after getting my first management position I found myself in a meeting with some dipshit explaining to me how they were going to help us do I can't remember what cloud thing. It just didn't really occur to me that this meeting invite that landed in my inbox was a sales pitch, and I cringe remembering the look on a coworkers face when I asked her who the fuck these people were. Yeah ignore. And yeah this 95% of what lands in my linkedin inbox.
