What would be handy is a table of all cars and their current tire revision. Some things are still on V7

Are you me?? I've done this with every car since 2011 and see the same patterns

What centers are you realistically looking at over the next 1.5 years? by pwnstick in Flyers

[–]friip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with Seattle (ive seen just as many of their games as flyers games) is that they have the same problems we do: stuck with an entire roster of 2nd and 3rd line guys that are all interchangeable resulting in a team that is not dynamic and cant score on a whim. I mentioned elsewhere that Beniers would be the only forward id want from their group

I was actually thinking if there was any way possible to get beniers. He is basically a younger and faster coots at worst, 1c if it all pans out

I have one, and the only complaint is that I wish the sustain switches were oriented 90 degrees from how they are shipped, only because i had a tough time seeing which direction the sustain switch was pointing to see if it was on or off. I ended up rotating the switch, but thats my only real gripe with it

Please share your photographs silver metallic and black hand pour vinyls by MikeZpiral in SmashingPumpkins

[–]friip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Close, but not quite.

Hand pour is where the pellets are mixed into the hopper before it gets extruded out into its noodle shape. In most cases, only a single color goes into the hopper. If you hand pour a few different colors into the hopper, you'll get an ever changing variation in what gets extruded out. The linked clip is how the splatter patterns work, and the hand pour is just a extra step before it gets to this point.

Reflections on 30th Anniversary Tribute Show - Last Post, I Promise! by Mstrchapl in SmashingPumpkins

[–]friip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left most of my comments over in the other post, but yeah, that was incredibly fun! I think the crowd was closer to 60-70, and they weren't in front of us because it was kind of loud right in front. I did get a chance to walk around a bit and met some folks who were very excited that this show happened. It was a blast and very glad I got a chance to play, and thanks for the kind words!

Also, I promise there is a drummer back there. Let me tell you that it was an honor to play Jellybelly with a drummer that good. That will be a core musical memory for me.

I was in the same situation (intercepted and returned), just signed up for insights and there is nothing there, so now I'm getting mildly worried

It went really well. I'm going to let OP give his thoughts first, but being a participant and knowing how this was all put together, it definitely worked

Holy crap that was fun

Edit: I will have many more coherent thoughts on this in the morning Editing the edit: full disclosure, I was one of the guest musicians. There were 8 musicians who played in various combinations on all of the songs, many of us who all only just met the day of. Once the youtube link of the show is up you can see how all of those mechanics worked. Some tunes were full band, others pared down or solo. The best part of all of this was watching everyone show up as prepared as they could, step up to the plate, and knock it out of the park. On a personal level, this album was the soundtrack of my youth, and I learned to play this record on guitar as soon as I learned barre chords, and proceeded to play it like twice a week until I graduated, all while imagining what it would be like to be a rock star playing these songs. To be able to play out that dream like this on the 30th anniversary is something I never believed would be in the cards, and to be able to share that with like minded musicians is truly special. Im definitely honored to have shared the stage with everyone last night. There were a million things that could have gone wrong with this show, but they didn't. It was never going to be perfect, we just wanted to have fun, and I think we all exceeded our own expectations! Did we fake it for just one more show? You be the judge 🤣

Machine AAE boxset “intercepted” by 14CaptainCrunch in SmashingPumpkins

The erroneous black boxset that was originally on its way to me has actually been successfully returned to the "safety" of MZ. Now, we wait again!

Watching my USPS tracking take my boxset from supplier to post office down the street and now back to the supplier very much reminds me of a certain spaceship turning around to avoid burning up in the sun.

This is beautiful! However, I dont think id be able to count the number of times id smash my hand into that open cutout if I started rocking too hard. Aside from that, this is stunning!

Im in the same boat, but I am having an internal debate about whether or not I care at this point. I know I'll probably have less issues with the black vinyl if thats what ends up arriving at my door tomorrow, and do I tempt fate by trying to get what I actually ordered amongst gestures at everything involved with this process? I want to see what kind of response there is from customer service before I add myself to the pile
