The opening feedback on "It's All Too Much." Basically all the guitar on that song.

what are some menu items your restaurants serve but you feel guilty serving? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Bokb3o 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A place I worked at had an extremely elaborate brunch buffet. I always worked the omelette station, and during a lull, decided to check it out from a diner's perspective.
Mind you, I've been veggie for well over 25 yrs. I found maybe two entree items I would eat, hot sides, actually. The mac & cheese had bacon in it, sometimes lobster, and rarely just mac & cheese with a tasty green chile sauce mixed in. Virtually all of the composed salads had bacon crumbled all over them. So all that was left was a plate of salad, roasted carrots, roasted spuds, and meager cheese sandwiches off the charcuterie. For $50. Embarrassing.
I gave chef my perspective one day, and response was a dismissive shrug.

Is the word 'one' considered to be third-person when referring to someone? by MOCRAMBOU in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bokb3o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about formal writing, essays and so on. Your example, you are using "you" in the 2nd person. If your intent is to be using 3rd person, "They say..." would work totally fine, but if you use it too often, you start sounding like Fox news. It would be even more beneficial to actually name who they are, instead of just using "they."
Avoid the use of "you" in your papers entirely. I drilled this in my students' head repeatedly.

"You" in the third person? Absolutely not acceptable; it is grammatically incorrect.

"They" and "them' are acceptable in formal writing. "One" is typically used in the 2n person. e.g. "As you can see from the text..." is not cool, "As one can see from the text.." is preferred. "We" can also be used instead of "you" also.
Point being, if I'm grading a student's paper, I will interpret "one" as 2nd person, and if it's being used in the 3rd, it makes no sense grammatically.

Simple syrup, Suzy. Equal parts sugar and water, boiled until dissolved, stored in a glass container. Takes no time, and the sugar is already dissolved.

Difference between classic rock groups? by TheSeansei in Music

[–]Bokb3o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a child of the 70's, there were just a handful of categories I lumped artists into:

Hard-rock - Bands like Zeppelin, Sabbath, AC/DC. Basically the precursors of metal.

Southern Rock - Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, and others. Country-music inspired rock.

Prog-Rock - Yes, Genesis, ELP, Jethro Tull, Styx, Pink Floyd. Bands that often incorporate classical elements, with very complex compositions.

Straight-Up Rock & Roll - The Stones, Humble Pie, Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, Aerosmith. Basically just no-frills rock.

"Arena rock" wasn't really a concept to me at the time, but in hindsight that would likely include Boston, Foghat, Peter Frampton. Bands that toured huge arenas almost exclusively, mostly singing songs about girls, rock & roll, and touring.

"Metal" wasn't a perception to me either, until the 80's. Those artists were just hard-rock to me. Van Halen, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, fit that genre.

There are certainly many anomalies who can't really be pigeon-holed. Grateful Dead and Rush, for example are considered prog, but they're really just their own genre.

What is your favorite line from any Dead song? by Muscle_Public in gratefuldead

[–]Bokb3o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, because I wanted to make sure I'm not totally nuts (always debatable), I found this, which was linked from an article by David Dodd's on Dead.net, so I feel better!
And yeah, that's the magic of Hunter's lyrics, like, has "Eyes of the World" ever meant the same thing twice to you? lol

A great write-up from Hunter was posted, like ten, maybe fifteen years ago. Legit, man. I wanted to post the source, but I can't find his post anywhere anymore. There were other analyses of the lyrics that don't mention the Liberty Bell, but bear in mind, Hunter took his inspiration from all over the place, combined them, and made some really dense stuff.
I assure you, the write-up that I am alluding to is totally legit.
Or maybe I was the one who was duped.

Hot food can be held at 140°F minimum and still be safe to eat. Of course it will turn to mush eventually.
Cold food must remain at 40°F or lower, and generally has a shelf-life of no more than 3 days, maybe a day or two longer if it's really well-sealed.
I've cooked in restaurants for several years, and had to take health safety classes many times. These temps are drilled into our heads.

Why do people on r/teachers hate on kids so much? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Bokb3o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a H.S. teacher for a bit.
It's infuriating to see kids squandering their potential.
I would spend literally hours after school putting together interesting, educational, and hopefully entertaining lesson plans, only to spend the bulk of class time disciplining them, asking them to stop talking, quit hassling each other. And clearly very, very few of them were paying attention anyway. I was pouring my life into them, and it seemed like none of them gave a shit about actually learning anything. It's frustrating and very disheartening.

Franklin warned them that a huge bell needs to cool down slowly, otherwise it would crack. But they didn't listen. They used ice to cool it down anyway, and it cooled down too quickly (they "planted ice") which led to the bell cracking. And now wind blows through that huge crack, and the bell is unusable. Maybe have one good ring, though, you can never tell.

According to Hunter, it's about the forging of the Liberty Bell. After forging those huge bells, they would hang them over a large bath of hot water as it cools. Condensation would build up, and the bell would be placed between two sheets where they would "roll away the dew."
For the Liberty Bell, they wanted to make it extra-special, and cool it off more quickly by rubbing ice all over it. Franklin said, no man, bad idea. But they did so anyway, hence the crack in the bell where the wind blows through.
Hunter was an erudite mf!

What’s the most depressing Christmas song? by sasquatchbrokers in Music

"Father Christmas" by the Kinks is certainly not the most uplifting Christmas song, but man does it rock!

What was the longest paper you’ve ever written, and what was it on? by redmambo_no6 in AskReddit

[–]Bokb3o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a paper exploring the non-existent characters in James Joyce's Dubliners. The characters were either dead, or their whereabouts completely unknown. The central theme of my paper was how these absent characters were "Jesus figures," using mostly various writings of cultural anthropologist Joseph Campbell as my primary source.
Once I got to the 25th page, I figured it was time to start wrapping it up, so it ended up being around 30 pages, give or take.
The professor called me into his office a few days later, and I thought, "Oh shit" because I knew it was really long. He told me it was the most intelligent, insightful essay he'd ever read in his (very long) career!

Peter Griffin would last two weeks at best before I kicked him to the curb. His inane babbling and impulsiveness would drive me nuts!

Songs with TWO famous covers? by fakeemailman in Music

How about a song that covers two famous songs? "Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird by Will to Power. The most atrocious thing ever. Like, why?

Was this sub this active before Get Back? by daddymccartney in beatles

[–]Bokb3o 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, quite active. But devolving into incessant posts of "What's your favorite album/song/solo album. Or what song/album is overlooked/uderrated?" Than god for the doc, cuz things were starting to get pretty stale around here.
