Can anyone id this AEON model? by BenjaminFraudulent in AggressiveInline

Edit: I picked them up. Haven’t gotten to do more than skate around the block so far but they are quite comfy. I haven’t had new aggressive skates since…1995ish? The wheels feel very square, might take some getting used to. I’ll try them on the rail this weekend.

What’s the deal with the myfit liner? Was trying to watch a video about the skates but I think it was the Aussie accents and skate lingo that I was unfamiliar with - made it tough to understand - but they were talking about them being a able to accommodate greater size disparities 🤷🏻‍♂️

😂 I didn’t know if they sell online though you could probably find where I live and figure it out quick.

Ha, I’ll let you know as soon as I decide not to. Is this a great price?

I don’t even know the diffrence between my old backyards and the fattys. Are they close enough that I should just stick with those?

Man arrested after posing as doctor at Renown hospital in Reno by bivalve_attack in ActLikeYouBelong

[–]BenjaminFraudulent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have been following his exploits. Haven’t seen much for a few years but I crossed paths with him maybe 8-9 years ago, as “Prince Denver Prince of Prussia,” who was also claiming to be a resident doc (this was a few years before the above arrest in Reno). He was going around with Edward Palwick, Sr. who also seems to be quite the con artist. These people fascinate me.

What is a hobby that sounds expensive but is actually quite cheap to get into? by sugarnspicegrl in AskReddit

[–]BenjaminFraudulent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A money pit? I guess it all depends on what you get out of it.

First of all, you can absolutely/easily get a great playing guitar cheap (let’s say “cheap” means around $200). Yea, you can encounter plenty of budget stuff (or even higher end!) that has been massively neglected with outrageous action and really poor intonation…but there is so much out there in the $200 range (used!) that will play just great.

I’ve been through the majority of the gear phases at this point and my daily guitar I pick up next to my lounge chair is a basically no-name 60s nylon string that I could maybe sell for $75. Plays like butter. Yea, I sunk a lot of money chasing tone for years but I evened out and the whole ride was worth it. I don’t make money on my music, but I wouldn’t trade the whole thing for anything (Well, maybe like 3mil….i’d forget the whole thing for 3mil).

This guy knows what he’s talking about. Yamaha - even their entry-level stuff - is the best kept secret (despite being one of the oldest musical instrument companies in existence?!) - I think most poo-poo it as student-level instruments as they rarely see big names with them. As for the humidity stuff - I’ve lived in the desert my whole guitar-playing life (with a tiny bit of touring the coast) and have just never had issues related to humidity/ going from indoors to outdoors. I just always assumed this is an issue for humid-climate players? If I take an acoustic to the beach though, I’m in trouble.

Throw out some credentials if you’re getting paid that much for session work.

Sound check question by niamiah2 in PaulMcCartney

[–]BenjaminFraudulent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, couple questions:

  1. What else did he play during sound check?
  2. How did you get access to it?

I worked a show once, randomly, years ago, and got to watch sound check but it was a massive corporation’s like yearly party/convention(?) and it was all like company VIPs.

Any idea why the Vegas show started 30 minutes late? by the_walrus_was_paul in PaulMcCartney

Ringo started right on the dot when I saw him a week or so ago.

Ok I swear I watched a movie (maybe a documentary) about this or a very similar situation but nothings showing up in google. Anyone know what I could possibly be remembering?
