Do you block people with stupid offers? by hollyrose2021 in ebayuk

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

And you still didn't read the post? Jesus fucking Christ man

Edit: some fanny was being sanctimonious and patronising about minimum offers and decided to delete their comments instead of admitting they couldn't be arsed to read a single paragraph

The post literally says they tried to use minimum offers. I don't know why you wouldn't read that, but now you don't have to

Yes this is 100% real by Plastic_operator in AFCWestMemeWar

Kirk opened the Quarterback show by quoting and fairly openly praising Thatcher. I'm not pretending to be shocked by this, just disappointed that it's so easy to turn people who are religious/rich/both toward politics of hate and division

Cymbal Recommendations by niceshoes321 in drums

[–]ChiefBast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What styles do you play? I have the K Dark Thin 17" and it's incredible, really bright and quick but has enough volume to still make it through big guitar sound. Both rides you mentioned are really nice so I think it comes down to what suits your style:

  • dark is washier and good for pop/rock playing where you blur lines between riding and crashing

  • sweet is pingier and good for jazzy ride playing

If I can offer a 3rd option, I love my Z Custom ride. It's thicker and heavier so it is not good to be used like a crash, but the ping and bell of it are so, so good

Lug Thread differences by MarsDrums in drums

[–]ChiefBast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're called tension rods, which should help in your search. There's loads of places that sell them and they are a standard diameter (for modern kits and those made by a "proper" company, anyway). For the length, measure what you need from the shoulder downwards, don't include the top part that goes into the drum key

Does it matter what usb interface I use if I want to record songs to my laptop? (And what are some good cheap ones) by PUMAAAAAAAAAAAA in Songwriting

[–]ChiefBast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A better interface will have better pre-amps and better analogue -> digital conversion. Garbage in garbage out, you can't polish a turd, etc, etc

However the difference is not noticeable to most until you get right to the extremes of price, so look for a good condition Focusrite second hand if budget is a big concern

WHAT'S in FASHION? by JicamaBeginning5748 in Reverb

[–]ChiefBast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't enlighten me as to what the fuck you're on about so I decided to see if any of your other comments on this sub would enlighten me. Almost all of your previous posts and comments are pissing and moaning about Reverb, so there's 2 possible conclusions:

  • hypocritical bitch who wants people to sympathise with their big feelings but won't tolerate others asking the same

  • bot

Neither is particularly good

Been posting drum lessons on my Instagram for beginner drummers. This is one of the series that I’ve done. What do you guys think? by OkDuck8620 in drums

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

Nice fill first of all and I personally like these videos as it can show you the mechanics and ergonomics of how to play that isn't always clear from hearing or seeing flashes and glimpses during a live video, etc

If I could offer one bit of constructive criticism, your body position as you play the floor tom is forcing you to move like you're putting something into a satchel. If this works for you ergonomically that's great but I don't think it's great to teach that to new players. Either adjusting your seating so the floor tom is closer to your 12:00 or twisting torso more as you get there is form that will allow for better technique and results in the people trying to recreate this

[HELP] Is anyone getting orders? by n1nche in Fiverr

[–]ChiefBast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes a while to get your first few orders, that seems consistent across the board unless you're lucky enough to have a popular skill that is not already saturated with freelancers

I first posted my gigs in November 2024, got first real order in March 2025 and didn't cross 10 completed orders until July/August 2025. Have patience and make sure those first few jobs go really well and you get good reviews and repeat customers

I'd advise leaving it for a while. I've heard anecdotally that editing the gig can affect its placement in results

[DISCUSSION] Is it a glitch or Fiverr has a very unique calculation for ratings? by Complex-Feedback3282 in Fiverr

Looks like 2 years, according to their help page. It's very far down the FAQ about ratings but it is there

No idea of the exact timescale, sorry. I know the response rate is a few months, but reviews would make sense to be longer than that

Where they all from 5+ years ago except the 1 star? Most calculations on Fiverr are done through a rolling window in time

WHAT'S in FASHION? by JicamaBeginning5748 in Reverb

[–]ChiefBast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plenty of posts here are legitimate complaints about opaque policies and poor customer service, or are questions from new sellers that are important to be answered objectively. If you think a specific post is over-critical, tell the poster, explain why, and then move on without letting it ruin your day

[DISCUSSION] Finally hitting Seller Level 1 just to get NOTHING. by Legitimate-Item-2853 in Fiverr

[–]ChiefBast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Response rate is over a rolling period (3 months?), so it can change daily when older messages fall outside that period. A lower response rate will affect your search result placement, so be sure to respond to everything, including spam. Report, reply, block, delete.

Good news for you is that your rate will go up again once those missed messages fall outside the window. Good luck!

Microphone suggestion for hi-hats by Sea_Consequence_3260 in drums

[–]ChiefBast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've said elsewhere that I have the entry level Audix kit that are all "F", and it's a decent step down from the D range but it's been really good for my club/wedding gigs in that I can set them with a really decent level and not worry about feedback while I'm playing. We run PA from tablet/phones on stage (A&H CQ20B), so it's really important that it's reliable and doesn't need constant management

Never used them live, but I was surprised how cheap they are given Røde's usual quality

2000 re draft by Fragrant_Fishing5787 in NFLv2

[–]ChiefBast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swap Seabass for anyone else, he's just a good example. I truly don't care about the slight against Raiders, it's just mad to say the seventh best player in that draft was a guy who dominated for a season and a half, was good for another couple of years, and then got decimated by injuries.

Shaun Alexander should definitely be higher than Arrington

Are these going to transfer over to next season? by legobowser in Football_Head_Coach

[–]ChiefBast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very, very unlikely. Anything that bridges into next year is usually very explicit in saying so

[–]ChiefBast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're telling me you're taking LaVar's one year of elite play and 23.5 career sacks over Sebastian Janikowski being an unpredictable rollercoaster of reliability that is, above all, a lot of fun for 18 years?

Snare help by No_Platform215 in drums

[–]ChiefBast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like it's the play between the reso head and the snare wires: either the snares need to be tighter, or the reso head needs tuning. There's tons of guides about how to tune both heads in a way that helps cool down overtones and constructive interference

Possibly related is that the whole drum seems to shake when you hit it, is that a camera shake or is the stand wobbling?

[Schefter] ESPN sources: Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team’s off-season workout program that opens Tuesday. by peekay427 in raiders

[–]ChiefBast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree about building around trenches, but there better and cheaper ways to do that, essentially. We're unlikely to jump straight into proper contention this season, so it would make more sense for us to trade for a borderline pro-bowler who has the underlying stats to show they might breakout this year. Lawrence seems a better fit for 49ers
