The fuck just happened?

Moved to the Florida panhandle in 2021. But I was in Ridgecrest (worked at China Lake) for almost a decade. It's basically the northern part, on the other side of the mountains from Death Valley. Best option there was Mediacom with a data cap though.

I waffled back and forth quite a bit on that. There was an electronic Yamaha kit, also I think for around the same price, that I almost went to go see. But everything I read said you should really just go with an acoustic if you can because the feel (mostly bounce) is dramatically different...

That's why QT is really what's the big driver right now, and not the interest rate hikes. We did well pulling about a trillion out of the system, but we've started to reverse course since April. We need the pace of QT we had for another few years to erase the damage they did post-2008 with over...

I haven't had that happen yet, thankfully, but I laughed at the thought of it. Been close a few times where I'll get the cheer and pounded on, but make it out barely. I loathe enhancing too. But with stuff like the Slumbering set, Debo's, and less so, Blackstar/Godr, I feel like you're kind of...

So you're saying you think we'll slowly keep bouncing up as the 200-DMA inches higher, as the older data drops off?

I ended up buying an entry level 5 piece Pearl kit on Facebook marketplace for $300. Probably should've negotiated it down cause it has a fair bit of chrome pitting (only really saw it when I got it outside and started cleaning it up). Have a drum key coming tomorrow. But even with them being...

I'd go for AP upgrades to start. You can get by pretty well with lower DP. Personally, I'd go for the Blackstar, do two taps, and if it goes you won. If not, probably convert to Godr and tap it to DUO yourself. It may cost you an extra couple billion than it would have buying, but you get to...

Hey, I just doubled the amount of posts in this thread about drum and bass. So you're welcome. I'd start a drum thread, but considering we've gone this long without one, probably not.

So I've got a bunch of outfit boxes they've been giving out for a while (6 sellable, 2 not), and I can't decide if I should sell them or save for crons later. This post may just be me working through the numbers to figure it out myself. My gear looks like this currently: I figure my next few...

So they're still looking at these bullshit employment numbers as if they won't be revised by 50% in 6 months?

Just like how jokes about men being raped are funny, but you can't do the same about a woman, right? She has no perspective. Shit, most women don't. They think everyone just hands you success if you're a man, without realizing that women literally get put on a pedestal just for existing.

They're not doing a very good job, because who the fuck even knew Drew Barrymore had a show?

If you're still in the accumulation phase, just keep buying. I've told people many times, if something is $100 or $150 today doesn't matter when in 40 years when you actually need it it's $1000.

Well considering there were only 6 posts in the thread, it's been dead for almost a decade, and one of those 6 posts also didn't give a shit about your electronic bullshit, I'm going to say I don't care. Also, I saw Prodigy live in the mid-90s, so suck my dick. No one cares about this...

IWM is now negative YTD. After being down 22% in 2022.

Going to resurrect this dead thread (and take it more in the guitar thread direction). I played guitar when I was a teenager, very casually. In retirement I thought I might pick it up again, but for some reason it just isn't something I find myself that interested in. But drums...they're...

Hoping today is one of those days that looks like a bloodbath, and then at the last hour pulls out an even day. Which has been like half the days over the last month.

Good for you. I couldn't pull the trigger on switching. I guess it depends on how much the next bit of grinding goes. I'm getting ready to start Elvia Calpheon, and if Lahn just doesn't feel great, it'll make switching more appealing. On that note, the caphras gear grind if fucking boring...

This is what I was saying a week or two ago. She's surpassed the Beatles in many categories. So yeah, I'd say she's had a few hits.

October sure is starting in the pooper.

Yeah, the issue with that one is, how many of them are retiring because of health issues? Anyway, I absolutely agree. Maybe my point came off wrong. It's the idea that you need someone else to tell you what to do. I get a lot of "but what do you do all day," as if not having a boss tell me what...

So random thought I just had, is Godr now a better option than Blackstar, with the increase in cron price? TET Godr is 5.4b a click versus 10.8b for Blackstar. Yeah, it's still got extra attempts to get there, but...?

That's just sad. It's something I want to address in the FIRE post I'm going to make...one day (been saying this for almost two years). The idea that if you don't have someone telling you what to do with your day and you have to figure it out yourself, and that being a bad thing, is just...

I'm right there with you, and I imagine lots of us are too. The prospect that we've already lived probably more than half our lives is sobering. Unless you somehow have a plan to retire with exactly $0 on the day you die though, you'll likely have something left over. What difference does it...

I mean, more than likely it just becomes an alt you don't do a whole lot with. Probably best not to overthink it.

When we get bonds like the last period of serious inflation paying 17% for 30 years I might consider them.

The fact that two of the three retail investors are America Ferrera and a teenage girl doesn't give me hope. They should all look like skeezy neckbeards like Pete Davidson, because that's the type of Redditor is on WSB.

She's pretty hot for 48 years old.

For some reason this popped up on my recommended. Fucking ridiculously impressive. I watched a couple others, and generally the other drummers listen to the full track (sans drum track) and then try to do their own drum track, over a couple takes, taking notes and shit. Chad listened for about...

How many Atanis pieces are you getting at Polly's? I've heard people say they're getting 10, but that sounds insane to me and like they're probably full of shit.

As tempting as farming a potion in alternative locations is with Atanis, it seems like it'd save you infinitely more time by grinding out the actual spots. Getting lucky and getting the full piece would potentially save you a dozen or more hours. I've only gotten one full piece, at Sherekhan...

But...Tupac is still alive?

I think something weird happened a month or two ago with the weekly resets, and now they're on Wednesday (overnight Tuesday/Wednesday if you're US). It used to be that I could knock it out Wednesday evening and they'd be up for Thursday, but that seems to have changed.

I think this qualifies. Haven't played it yet and literally just heard about it.

Can you use the 50% on the pass? If so, yeah, that'd be a decent one. Calling horn is pretty awesome. Weight is a decent option if you need it, although not really necessary.

Is there a guarantee another doesn't just pop up in its place? But the reality is, I like TV and movies. I just don't like the last two decades of propaganda. Give me another era of John Hughes.

Prime suspect.

So you're saying giving striking workers unemployment made them lazy and now they have fuck all to show for it? Good.

This hasn't been the year I expected. We're basically on the way to wiping out any gains we had. Is it going to take 3 years to regain our previous high? Maybe 4? The 2020's might be giving the 70's a run for their money on worst performing decade.
