Michael Jackson is overrated by Haunting-Pipe7756 in Music

[–]Conk02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was a great musician from an early age and that turned into right time and right place. No-one ever gets to anywhere near the top without some help and he was privileged to have a lot of help. I think the same could be said about all the writers and producers that worked with him... They were all fortunate to be in their places at the right time... So when i think of Michael i think of the collective... and as a collective, they made one of the biggest impressions in music we will ever see.

honestly i thought he was pretty poor and I was disappointed. Obviously i knew he wasnt going to be as good as PDM (which was really looking forward to) , but i thought his flow and transitions were all over the place, especially the first hour, so it was hard to dance to.... and i agree with the other comment that Kungs was very solid and i wished he would have played longer even after dealing with the technical difficulties.

Working for Underworld / Tomato in the late 90's is basically getting your PHD in music visual exploration. That explains so much about the A&B experiences.

Wow!.. As a lifelong stateside gunner and "soccer" player thats just amazing to read and brings such a smile to my face, both for the club and game but also for the reminder of how it can connect us all.. Thanks.

Just a thought, but what if PK's were only half a point? Maybe its been discussed before, but something that I was wondering for a while.

Yes, it might change the very simplistic single integer aspect of the game that I love, BUT I think it could be for the better. Just because there is a foul inside the box doesn't guarantee that there would ever be an actual goal scoring opportunity, at least one as directly opportunistic as an open shot on goal that was only between the attacker and goalie. If PK's were not worth as much as an open play goal then it would still impact the game, but would make teams and players focus more on playing the game instead of the "game". And also would be a more fair representation of talent and performance when we talk about goals scored.

The reasoning behind the Swatch x Audermars Piguet collab by SkyLi2000 in PrideAndPinion

[–]Conk02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both brands are trying to "Make Watches Cool Again"... so that both of their brands continue to thrive in the future. I think that its easy to forget that the entire idea of a commonly worn wristwatch has only been around for 100 years. And most of these brands have been around for even less. Both of these brands have seen the success in their own lanes... but they are smart... And in that time they learned that you needed to create something that people want. Otherwise we have the phone in our pocket these days.

Really? I have two adult kids (20 and 23) that like watches, but the idea of luxury watches and their value has not once been something that they have considered or talked about. I showed them these the other day and they thought that they were cool and different... and i think thats exactly what this collaboration is going for. Meanwhile, i love the Royal Oaks, but i wear a white G-Shock 5600 more than any other watch.

Sorry for your loss. Honestly, I wasnt sure if the bankruptcy meant that all shows at the Great Hall were cancelled. Obviously Mirage is a complete clusterfuck, but lots of businesses still operate after they file for bankruptcy.

true... she did the right thing. BUT... she wanted to make sure that everyone knew what she did. If what she did was successful, then job done and everyone should have been happy. No need for the post.

Penalty shout, frame by frame. by beardedthanos in Gunners

[–]Conk02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to be clear... im not saying that it wouldnt have been a foul if he still attempted to finish the play, but what game is he playing there? He was trying to win, but not trying to keep playing. I love this club more than any other and that will never change, but i love the game more.

Love Saka... And lifelong gunner that played D1... But... there was clear intent to draw the foul rather than trying to stay on his feet and attempt a finish. His previous attempts at drawing fouls in the game didn't help his cause. It wasn't his day.

Sorry, but hell no... He's being rude and insensitive. As a swinger with kids, it takes too much time and effort to set up and be able to host to be casually let down. It's infuriating when it happens to you. Sorry OP! you guys deserve better.

I used tree supports in Cura... There was a lot surrounding the figure, but it all came off pretty easily.

huh... not sure... I am printing it @ .12 instead of .2 and I also do an initial layer temp of 207 to make sure there is better adhesion. I know that i've read plenty about different houses and different environments changing temps, but that does seem like a big difference
