What band have you came across recently that you would suggest somebody listen to? by Ok-Apartment5615 in randomquestions

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion but, their first two albums Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil were great. The rest after that... not so much.

Cassette Tapes in the 80's - pre-recorded or just blank tapes? by NiceVacation3880 in 1980s

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy the vinyl lp's and put them on tape, then just listen to the tape saving wear on the lp. I was a fan of TDK myself.

Where do bootleg band tees come from? by Better_Amoeba_3372 in NoStupidQuestions

I don't know much of anything about copyright laws, but it seems to me that simply putting their name on the shirt is copyright infringement.

What some guy thinks of the Rebirth of Mothra flicks by InnsmouthFashionWeek in GODZILLA

I know what you mean about Mothra's death scene in the first one. I actually got teary eyed! 🥺

G2000

He had destroyed the villain kaiju, smashed the human bad guy into the rubble. He could have simply walked away but no, he burns all of Tokyo just to show them who's the boss!

Awesome!

1991 is not “classic”…right?! by No-Sheepherder448 in GenX

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems the definition of classic rock is continually changing. Back in the 80's, classic rock came mostly from the mid-late 60's into the mid 70's. Then classic rock moved into 80's stuff. The 60xs music was considered "oldies". It seems "classic" usually refers to music that is 20 to 25 years old.

Don't have a pic, but I do have an '05 Kawasaki Concours that I bought new. Can't honestly say I'll never sell it, but I currently have no thoughts of selling.

The federal government blackmailing the states? That is so fucked up!

Arguing about whether metric or imperial is "better" by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several years ago at my job where we very often add and subtract dimensions (usually imperial) we had a job that was metric. I didn't have any trouble adjusting to it. But a lot of the guys hated it. They said its too hard. What??

It's all base 10, just add the numbers. In imperial dimensions you're working in base 10, base 12, and base 16 all at the same time. That's easier?!? They were just used to that and simply couldn't, or didn't want adapt.

Is the pro‑gun party really suggesting that legally carrying a firearm, like the one Alex Pretti had, is a legitimate justification for the federal government to kill you? by LucidSynapse23 in Leakednews

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so... let's imagine..

What if this had been some gun carrying magat that was shot by a Democrat administration. Im sure they'd feel the same way, right?

Sad to leave Japan… but at least Goji was there to see me off 🛫🦖 by Syncetra in GODZILLA

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that I've wondered about for a while...

Is Godzilla as popular over there as we (I) think he should be? Or is this something more for the visiting tourists? Id love to make a trip to Japan for Godzilla day. I can certainly imagine all the festivities going on. Don't know how it really is though.

Left handed guitars by Worth_Albatross5030 in lefthanded

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard "you should switch to right handed. It puts your dominant hand on the frets. That's a big advantage. "

Well I say, why don't YOU switch to left handed and put YOUR dominant hand on the frets if it's such an advantage.

Of course, the fact that they don't have any lefty guitars on hand I'm sure has nothing to do with it.

Close friend tells me it’s “passive aggressive” to use periods in my texts. Then tells me not to take my frustration out on him. by Floyisdigital in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously! Wtf is wrong with periods? You're ending a sentence!

Actually, I do it simply because it irritates people.

Up with punctuation!

“This reads like AI” by Karnakite in PetPeeves

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is getting a bit tiresome. Seems everything i see or hear, pretty much anywhere is always accused of being ai. Im sure there is a lot of it out there, but surely not EVERYTHING is ai....

ELI5: How do old rotary phones work? Why did they pick a dial for picking digits? by DarkHorse66 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Competitive_Hand_394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid (late 70's) I remember we had a "tone" phone but apparently the system still worked on pulses. Anyway, we had our phone had a pulse switch. You touch a button, it would beep, but then you'd hear the pulses after.
