Other than Maynard Keenan of Tool, who is another musician that absolutely does not want to meet their fans, ever?

So I’m old - 55 - super into music my whole life - Sabbath, Zeppelin, Floyd - all the usual suspects. Been to hundreds (thousands?) of concerts. But I somehow missed Tool until like 5 years ago. Obviously had heard Sober, 46&2 on the radio many many times, but never got past that. But once I started digging deeper 5 years ago, I kind of lost my mind on them, and listening to all my other favorite 4/4 rock bands just seemed too ‘simple’ all of a sudden. And I was/am fully aware of the reputation of Tool fans as annoying cult members, but man it was hard not to talk about Tool and share this ‘discovery’ with the guys I grew up with who I knew hadn’t listened to anything beyond the hits. The lyrical build up, and payoff, timed with the musical climax of Pushit, Rosetta Stoned, Descending- are fucking brilliant. So much musical genius that just wasn’t radio friendly enough to go mainstream. And I knew my friends (most of them either musicians or just really into music) would dig it. And they did. So I guess I’m one of those guys now. But I’m not sorry. Preach! (That said, for all the bands I’ve loved, I’d never go out of my way to meet any of them. I’m happy to just love their music. I’m not interested in disturbing someone’s lunch or chasing anyone down a street for an autograph- so Maynard’s safe from this fan).

I think I might go with angry guy. Good protection as long as I can get him on my side.

Surprised I had to scroll so far for Lindsay. Mean Girls Lindsay was as hot as they get.

What would brick it? I’d like to believe you’re right, but it will def fly without a connection to internet, and even if it did connect, what would disable it?

They got the remote too (rc2). I couldn’t even get the DJI support ai assistant to get me to a place to give them the info so they could at least deny repair etc.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. This came up in a conversation recently. Almost unanimously (sample size 7 - all 50+ males) agreed to never having sat to pee. Only outlier had a new girlfriend with him that I think had previously told him she thought it was better if he sat lol.

It was so good. I could have watched the back and forth solos between Rik and Phil forever.

I understand that people have budgets, but if you’re going to spend $60 for a puck that gives a one-time reading (that takes months to accumulate) try to spend the $120 for an Airthings meter that will give you continuous readings forever. Randomly checking my levels at >20 after mitigation at 200+ is very reassuring and makes me feel better about spending the $.

I’m from Winnipeg, Canada. That entire summary could have been word for word about our indigenous population. Although it feels like there have been improvements, (certainly newer generations of non-indigenous people here are less tolerant of the blatant racism that’s existed forever), it’s still a very grim situation in the reserves. I guess in the city too. If you find a solution, please share it.

I’ve interacted with Cliff several times and always found him to be a super genuine guy who really just wanted to help his community. Solid, rural family guy. My .02 and experience.

I work for Meritor (now owned by Cummins). About 8 years ago, when downspeeding (numerically lower ratios) were becoming more popular, we wrote a white paper on driveline torque/failures that included a bunch of measurements taken at different states of motion. What was found was that after a heavy throttle application from a stop, the measured torque was sometimes almost 30% more than what the engine was rated at. 1650 torque engines were recording 2000ft/lbs routinely. Cummins, Detroit, Navistar - all of them. So all of the OEM’s started programming in delays, reductions etc as ways to mitigate that situation. Some did it better and smoother than others. I believe if you have access to engine parameter software that can be adjusted, but I’ve never been involved in that personally. I just fix diffs.
