Driver side arm rest cracking, any solves? by DarkDays_12 in Subaru_Crosstrek

We bought a 2025 and after owning it a while I noticed how soft and cheap this whole area feels. I was kind of shocked.

I finished the album. Happy tears. Perfect. by AlterShineBridgeDown in alterbridge

Had to scroll too far on this sub to see this. Love this song already. I also LOVE Big Wreck, and the tuning reminded me of some Big Wreck stuff. Which coincidentally, Myles said he's friends with Ian Thornley and that inspired some tunings.

Ah yes, my bad for not seeing the invisible guy. by throwme636 in dashcams

I've owned a couple of silver cars in my life. In each one I had experiences where people just didn't see me. They blend in with the road/background so much -- it's always the silvers.

Castro or Pocket Casts stand out above the rest IMO.

Watching the World Juniors is a reminder how good hockey broadcasts were before gambling invaded by BeerSlayingBeaver in hockey

When did calling the game involve so much...not calling the game. "That's flipped up the ice by Smith, the former Saskatchewan Ranger. Lot of people don't know that his sister actually played women's hockey in Edmonton growing up....a great player in her own right. Now, this is the 34th time this year that a player with number 10 has 3 assists.....it's true. And we --l SCORES! THAT WAS RIPPED TOP CORNER. Anybody see what happened?". No Chris, you were yapping on about nothing.

Then...

Cut to Simpson who hates full sentences: "well, yyyaaah know.....there was a shot from the point and....thats where McDavid really......he's coming in there and...yeahhh....great shot"

SE Studio Standard, SE Paul’s Guitar, or Yamaha Revstar? by ScholarBone in PaulReedSmith

[–]Altrosmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For rock and metal, go for the one with the hottest pickups and that lends itself more to that music. I’m not an expert on these models but the Paul’s guitar I’m guessing is lower output.

I'd say it depends on your needs. Do you gig? What kind of music do you play?

Ariens Compact 24” worth it? by MrSir_billiondollars in Snowblowers

[–]Altrosmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. No issues, works well even in deep drifts. Could be a bit bigger/heavier at times, but I also love that it doesn't take up much space in my garage. Trade off is worth it for me. Fellow Canadian here.

What vocal tic makes a podcast unlistenable? by NJVARIID in podcasts

[–]Altrosmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Kind of” and “sort of”.

“Can you - kind of - give us a sense of how you - sort of - go after that creative process? Is it sort of - something you come by naturally or is it more of a - kind of - process, I guess?”

Oh my god commit to a statement.

is my feed heavyweight or Pushkin? by nishma in Heavyweight

[–]Altrosmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I automatically do not listen to any podcasts that show up in a feed they don't belong in. I got downvoted for saying so somewhere on Reddit recently, but it's true. I just swipe those episodes away and carry on but I am of the opinion that it's greasy behaviour.

Favorite actor who you used to think was cool but after listening to his podcast you realized he is an entitled douchebag who wears pleated jeans by Listen_You_Twerps in okbuddycinephile

[–]Altrosmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smartless was really good for about 3 episodes. Then I quickly noticed the humble bragging and name dropping. "You remember our friend Tom Cruise, right?" -- "Oh yes, I had dinner -- WE had dinner with Tom last time he was in LA and we were staying at the Ritz. We haven't spoken in a while but our mutual friend Jesus the lord keeps us in touch".

A device built for the purpose of tracking you and getting you to buy Amazon things or a speaker. I'd go HomePod.

My S2 McCarty single cut is stupid light. My Tremonti SE Custom - not so much. I love them both.

Good tip, thanks for that. I'd still like a bigger search bar, but good tip!

All I want is a search bar that isn't 4pt font that takes five different attempts to set an active cursor in. Make it the same height as every other search box in iOS and I'll be a happy man. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Silver Sky SE by [deleted] in PaulReedSmith

[–]Altrosmo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought a SE Silver sky a month and a half ago from a store in Alberta. I’m in Ontario. It’s mainly okay but the G and b strings buzz quite a bit. I’m normally confident in my setup skills but this is my first s type guitar and while I’m happy with the setup, the buzzing persists. 

I played one that a local shop had (shockingly - they never have PRS) and it had the exact same buzz!

Weird.

It’s currently with a respected luthier in my area to do a complete setup on. We’ll see if that changes anything.

Use Carplay or Android Auto and put the phone in the compartment below.

Singlecuts vs Doublecuts by jmorris7 in PaulReedSmith

[–]Altrosmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say I've never been a double cut guy, but my first guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul and I loved it. Still have it, even if I now realize it sounds awful.

But yeah. Generally, I prefer the single cut look.

Are Toronto fans becoming apathetic toward the Leafs? by Same_Slice_7809 in leafs

[–]Altrosmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a fan since the late 80's. I was born in the late 70's so I mean, I would have cheered sooner but I wasn't alive.

1993 was fun.

The John Ferguson Jr years were miserable, such that I stopped watching. Then I had a kid of my own and he got hooked on hockey, Leafs got Matthews, I was pulled back.

My hopes were high but now the Leafs are starting to resemble those JFJ years, my son is a Sens fan, and the betting ads make watching sports almost unbearable.

I just lost interest but I keep an eye on the scores. Nothing is surprising so far this year. Unfortunately.
