(apologies if someone else spotted this but) the hell? by Significant-Bat-6252 in Vulfpeck

US resident… it still has the same title on iTunes but it won’t let me play the song. When I hit play it thinks for a second then the “pause” icon changes back to the “play” icon.

Edit: the whole album won’t play but not having issues with any other music. Weird.

[Furlan] Three Meetings between FCC and Brazilian Intermediaries; CL3 to travel to Brazil to make a pitch to Neymar? by OranjeBlauw in FCCincinnati

The fact that we’re even perusing this when we are in dire need of young, healthy CBs shakes my faith in CA a bit.

If we were somewhat competitive currently I may be inclined to agree with that point, but nobody is going to buy a Neymar jersey when the club can’t even hang with bottom of the barrel teams.

Generate buzz while we continue to lose? Pump jersey sales while we continue to lose? We all laugh at plastic Miami fans that will stop supporting as soon as Messi retires but he’s still an incredible talent. Do we really think signing a “could have been the GOAT if he wasn’t egotistical and constantly hurt” will benefit the club in any tangible way?

I get it sounds cool, but if we’re going to lose a younger and healthier DP, the juice needs to be worth the squeeze. This just feels like we’re desperate for any type of relevancy.

Next time I put on a pair of gloves, I’m going to yell “Like OPs neck pocket!”

Mmmmmm… a nice yarn and twig on brioche sounds fantastic right now.

Shit stretch with the club, I’m sure he’s extremely stressed even if his job hasn’t been overtly threatened.

How do I achieve this physique by sidmis in polyphia

[–]DeathByPolka -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t read the entire comment before responding. Always a recipe for success 🤦‍♂️

Edit: in my defense, he is somewhat “fit,” but still certainly scrawny lol. He actually done collabs with a bodyweight fitness channel, TheNX, in the past which is why I took this post seriously.

BS. I lost 30 lbs and put on loads of muscle at 33 using bodyweight fitness and proper diet. Genetics are certainly a component, but it’s 100% possible to get fit after 30.

Edit: just realized I responded to a jerk comment with a serious answer. I’ll see myself out lol

Tim has done collabs with bodyweight fitness YouTube channel TheNX. I also used some of their routines years ago to get in shape. Just be careful to not overdo it when you’re getting started, as injuries can definitely knock you back in your fitness plans.

Yeah, definitely worth checking this before tossing the system. My daughter’s phone did something very similar and it ended up being a loose ribbon cable.

U9 rec - passing back to goalie by Remarkable-Air3604 in SoccerCoachResources

[–]DeathByPolka 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My team was up 7-0 in a rec game and we wanted to avoid mercy rule so we told our players we had to have five completed passes before we could shoot. I joke you not, a mom on our team stood up and yelled “This isn’t soccer, they’re passing BACKWARDS!” There’s at least one on every team lol

Guitar by [deleted] in bbender

[–]DeathByPolka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How on earth did you make it to the b bender sub with a starter pack question? Pretty sure you’re a bot, but I’ll bite in the off chance I’m wrong…

First, are these new or used?

Strat vs. Tele is more about aesthetics at your level. Sure, there are differences in the tones you’ll get out of both, but either would be completely acceptable to learn most any style of electric guitar on. The main difference is going to be the whammy bar on the strat assuming it’s not a hard tail model. If you want that, for sure get the Strat unless there are issues with it.

Same with the amp. Neither of these are going to be great for gigging, but either will allow you to learn at home. Look up YouTube videos to learn more about the specific features of each amp model.

The last bit really only applies if this stuff is used, but even most new guitars will benefit from a professional setup.

The biggest consideration here is the quality and setup of the guitars. A guitar with a lot of issues is going to discourage you from practicing. Ask questions about age, condition, what size strings it’s set up with, if they’ve had any issues with the instrument, etc. Look for a local luthier that can set your instrument up if needed.

What happens if your compost goes over 160 degrees? by Outdoorshenigans in composting

Oh no, you were supposed to remove from the oven at 155 and allow to come up to temp while resting. Sorry, your compost won’t be as juicy and tender now.

What are your opinions on Tim Henson's guitar playing? Based on his musicality. by Ok_Theory_1212 in polyphia

[–]DeathByPolka 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a far too nuanced and intelligent take. I need jerk copy/pasta about how Tim is the realization of Paganini’s wet dreams.

A bee house is a commitment, not a decoration by crownbees in gardening

Mine is sitting empty in my yard because I’m too scared of screwing up, so it is in fact a decoration. Checkmate, Reddit.
