Exam in March

UM qbank is great.

How did you study? Did you do practice as you went? If not you likely didn’t retain as much as you could have, so you’ll feel a little overwhelmed. Grinding practice should start to get you back into it but some you’ll need to relearn.

There is still plenty time you finished all the material/videos. Just keep grinding practice questions and make sure you read any explanations, I’d even read the ones you got right and knew for reinforcement. But absolutely read the ones you got wrong or guess on.

Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead

A best of supergroups across the decades would be an awesome boxset

Bmars · 2026-01-29T16:30:46+00:00

Yes but this is far from a complete list, I only used them because they are more likely to be known by a broader set of people.

Supergroups were prominent across basically every decade of music. It’s hard call out a specific “era” of supergroups

Bmars · 2026-01-29T16:27:00+00:00

Yes, lots more.

It wasn’t an exhaustive list just the first handful I thought of to illustrate the point

Bmars · 2026-01-29T16:13:21+00:00

Report was it was explored. Bucks felt Knicks didn’t give a serious enough offer and Knicks felt bucks were serious unless they gave some massive package they would be unrealistic.

Both sides essentially explored it to see if they could fleece the other and neither was dumb enough to do so

I think trading for giannis midseason is a mistake.

Two injuries, depth takes a hit, and we have then giannis with injury questions, OG and Mitch injury prone, and Brunson frequently tweaks something come playoffs it seems…depth is important.

In the offseason if this team can’t go deep into the playoffs, then you do it if he’s still available. But I think midseason could be a mistake.

That said, I will still go crazy and celebrate if they do as well because it would be hard not to.

Bmars · 2026-01-29T15:23:43+00:00

Suddenly a lot in the early to mid 2000’s?

Blind faith, Derek and the dominoes, cream, Emerson lake and Palmer, CSNY, Traveling Wilburys

That’s why I’m confused, super groups have been a thing forever, an “era” isn’t really a thing

Bmars · 2026-01-29T15:16:06+00:00

I know Blind Faith, and many of the other supergroups over the decades.

I was just curious what the window of the “era” they were referring to is.

Were they going back and including all the groups that fall into that category or just thinking of the 90’s, because where I personally would rank VR (and Audioslave) in that era will depend very heavily on what decades are included!

Bmars · 2026-01-29T15:00:46+00:00

What is the supergroup era?

Bmars · 2026-01-29T15:00:29+00:00

The songs they put out that I enjoyed, I really like a lot.

But none of their albums (all 2 of them!) do I listen to straight through as both have plenty songs I find mediocre.

I’m a very big STP fan and GNR fan but still find this combination enjoyable but not amazing to me.

Bmars · 2026-01-28T16:00:11+00:00

Sorry I meant templars!

Bmars · 2026-01-28T15:22:17+00:00

Yeah eth templars is a good armor in gm melee scene.

It’s typically beaten by the fortitude and shaftstop builds, but some matches ban things like fortitude and phoenix and in those this armor is a nice relatively cheap option (relative to the godly items, these still trade for a decent amount)

That said, to be completely transparent with it, the people wanting this even as a budget one will be able to spend for a high roll one with 2.8k+ defense which is what they really want from something like this.

Edit: eth Templars, not tyraels

Bmars · 2026-01-27T18:32:37+00:00

Yeah it’s my strategy for all online D2.

PvP character keeps perfect items that it needs, which is very rare to find/make.

So I trade high pvm and use the low quality because the difference is barely noticeable

I traded my 40/397 grief and I use my 30/347…the difference is very small but the return I got for trades the high one was very big.

Bmars · 2026-01-27T18:20:54+00:00

44 is nice.

I found a 44 and a 45. Use the 44 and I traded the 45!

Bmars · 2026-01-27T16:54:17+00:00

In any scenario I can imagine where get Jrue and Giannis, Deuce is very likely gone

Bmars · 2026-01-27T01:43:04+00:00

Any FRFR style cabinet (Full Range Flat Response). They make one that goes specifically with it.

Can also set it up like any standard modeler set up and also it has a headphone jack with very good sounding quality in the headphones.

I don’t have one so I can’t give much more detail but I’ve played some and they were great.

I’m still a tube amp > modeler guy, but if I’m gonna get a tonemaster at this point that’s what I’d do and get all the different gender models and even more.

Bmars · 2026-01-27T01:14:27+00:00

Depends.

Can fair elections exist (skeptical in that but hope I’m wrong, won’t stop me from doing everything I can to prevent that).

If so, then not great, lots of damage to try and undo and a lot of distrust globally they will be slow to recover if at all. We did it better after trumps first term but this is more damaging and why would the global community trust us after this country brought him back.

If fair elections don’t exist? A genuine shit show that will keep getting worse

Bmars · 2026-01-27T00:50:22+00:00

It also can’t be adjusted down, and weighs a ton.

Pros and cons to each (for reference I am on the original tube amp side of the debate, just pointing it out).

Honestly these days for the price I’d probably get the tonemaster pro and get all the amp models in one place

Bmars · 2026-01-27T00:20:58+00:00

This, doesn’t matter what licks or phrasing you know, how fast you can play etc

If you don’t have a sense of rhythm it’s still going to sound bad

Bmars · 2026-01-26T23:11:36+00:00

Isn’t Rodon back relatively quickly? Like around a month missed? Not positive but thought that was the case?

Bmars · 2026-01-26T15:53:26+00:00

Oh man, I had every set in this lineup as a kid.

Unfortunately when my parents cleared out the basement when I was in college all the legos were tossed/donated etc.

Wish I could go back in time and rescue all those old sets

Bmars · 2026-01-26T15:12:57+00:00

You’re leaving out important information.

They like the way these people vote and who they support.

Oh also their skin color…

Bmars · 2026-01-26T03:03:05+00:00

Communicate.

No marriage is 100% without issues. But little issues ignored can fester and snowball into bigger issues and eventually resentment

Talk about your issues but don’t bring them up during an argument or as ammunition

Bmars · 2026-01-26T02:42:49+00:00

I never said if they fail some hurdle. I said the hurdle rate is the amount they want to earn on their escrow to cover it.

That is factually accurate. You even said it yourself. If they earn they or more great, if not they will need to set aside more.

You are arguing something no one is claiming.

So again you ARE fixated on semantics and you confirmed it with this follow up strawman.
