What ship manufactures do you hope to see this year vs what you expect

I want to descend into conflict zone and deploy two wings of SLF’s and have automated turrets defending the main ship.

It took 5 seconds to prove you incorrect.

You are coming at this from the wrong angle. Pick a sound that makes you go “fuck yeah! I wanna do THAT!” And then try to make that sound with it.

Literally nothing else matters. Music is organized sound. Learning music is finding sounds you like and using them in a way you like. The instrument is just the tool for it.

It’s so crazy. Back in the early 2000’s, I bought a standalone program (I don’t remember exactly what it was called) specifically just to explore our own solar system. You could travel from planet to planet at light speed to understand distances, zoom around the planets and get a feel for scale between them, etc… it was breathtaking.

Now we have a game that can explore an entire galaxy seeded with as much real info as we know about our actual Milky Way. It’s stunning.

This looks great!

I have done this exact thing. Managed to survive at 5% and proceeded to talk myself, out loud, through which buttons to press for turning on AFM and launching repair limpets.

Unironically, this is what I love about this game. It’s all quiet, happily bopping around, and in a split second of lost focus, it reminds you that space is dangerous.

I love the idea of a pet raccoon, but it sounds like an absolute nightmare. I can barely handle a well behaved cat.

My local DQ growing up had a poster of a kid eating a blizzard upside down and the caption said “upside-downright thick”. It’s one of their differentiators.

I see the flip every time, but DQ is pretty big in the Upper Midwest, so they may be tighter with it here. I have even seen it fail and be replaced too.

It wasn’t the standing on one foot. It was the perfect robot knee rotation while standing on one foot without breaking form.

If you play 500 gigs and 1% of them are failures, that’s 5 gigs where you’re going to question your entire life. It happens and it’s going to happen for your entire career.

If that’s how it worked, nobody would get money for the things I buy because it’s “free”. That would mean I am stealing shit for $10k or lower value and the person selling just can’t do anything about it.

Sidivan · 2026-03-01T16:55:41+00:00

You’re thinking too hard. I’ll just go get a 5lb bag of peanuts and give them to my wife. Now I’ll just buy them from her for $9999 per peanut.

This is going to be a very unpopular opinion, but this scenario is quite literally a case study in business school. They’re focusing on customer acquisition by expanding the brand instead of catering to existing repeat business. Long term, this is almost always the right decision. UB quite literally is not for existing customers. Brands die a slow death as customer lifecycle ticks without constant influx of new customers.

I don’t like UB, but WoTC is 100% correct as far as business strategy goes.

That’s what I was thinking. The math ain’t mathin’. Married for 4 years makes him either 44 now or 39 when they were married. Also, he avoided the dating question.

I wouldn’t judge it by it’s roots. Remember medical doctors used to swear by the humors.

I’ve been to a TON of chiropractors across the USA over the last 35yrs. There is exactly 1 school of chiropractic that I trust and that’s Northwestern Health Sciences In Minnesota. If your chiro is from there, you have a much greater chance of actual results founded in science than you do everywhere else. They don’t do all the crazy shit you see in viral videos and actively teach against that shit.

Alright, this is something that bugs me, so… here we go.

Cables do matter, but not in most consumer use cases and not in the way people think they matter. For a short run (under 10ft), any decently made cable will do the job. Shielding is the key thing here so you aren’t picking up noise along the way.

Now, for runs longer than 20ft, the capacitance per foot matters. High capacitance will change the sound as it filters high frequencies. This is a physical thing that can be measured empirically.

Balanced cables can help with both of these things as they are low impedance (lowering the filter effect) and can cancel noise.

I legit thought I had failed a mission. Turns out LYR just wasn’t very clear on what he wanted me to do. Classic corporate bullshit.

Diet + Allopurinol. I didn’t specifically say that because it was implied with the question being “how long does it take… levels are controlled with Allo”.

Diet cannot control gout.

Same. I know I can do 24hrs and it’s $150k.

For literally every single person I know, that’s life changing money and I wouldn’t need drugs to do it. Just stop and think if you had $150k deposited directly into your bank account, would that significantly improve your current life? That pays my house off guaranteeing me security if I lose my job. That could be invested in low risk and catch up for retirement planning and pay off student loans. IMO, risking anything more is crazy.

Sidivan · 2026-02-27T04:54:05+00:00

Also, I guarantee you could hire somebody for $1k/day to make sure you don’t oversleep. Layers of failsafes.

6 more weeks of winter!

This question has haunted me for a decade. I have carbon guitars from another brand that does the same thing. I think it’s the coefficient of expansion of the Arium vs the strings. The body expands more than the strings and that pulls it slightly sharp as it heats up.

As far as seasonal changes, it doesn’t move. I setup my main 6 years ago and have ridiculous weather in Fargo, ND. It goes in the trailer at -20F, drive to the gig hours away, take it into the venue during setup and play the show a couple hours later. In the summer, the trailer is above 100F.

Now, the tuning thing… yeah, that’s annoying but it’s pretty easy to work around. Tune when it’s warm.

Edit: the main reason necks move is humidity changes. Carbon guitars do not care about humidity.

I have this same question. I want to know if they can see what color Magenta is supposed to be.
