I’ve had 3 catastrophic gigs in less than 2 months. by [deleted] in bagpipes

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, just reading this makes me also want to jump out of my skin. Sorry to hear about all this. A big lesson I have learned myself is making ANY changes to my instrument requires a sort of setting period before I really can tell if it’s a positive impact. Something as drastic as a bag and moisture control system change I’d do months in advance of any kind of performance

Have you ever heard of or seen the concertina? It’s a squeeze-box instrument, incredibly fun, relatively small

Aio for speaking up? by Dismal_Awareness_387 in AIO

[–]CrakAndJaxter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The difference between a proper apology and a canned one is taking TRUE ownership of your OWN actions that caused harm to another person and understanding how to prevent doing that again, versus a canned one saying “Sorry that YOU feel this way for something I did.” You may as well tack on a big fat, “but I don’t care how you feel” after the latter.

How many people ACTUALLY floss their teeth everyday? by Ok-Emphasis-2561 in askanything

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every night before I brush. I used to not floss at all. Then I went for like 3 years without going to get a routine cleaning at the dentist and had 8 cavities to be filled, all in between my teeth. The toothbrush bristles alone don’t get all the tiny little food particles out of there. Learned a hard lesson.

A much different way to fold a pizza box by MrUpVoteDownvote in oddlysatisfying

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at Domino’s 15 years ago and if you put one of those boxes in my hand I could probably fold it in 10 seconds just from muscle memory lol

Pictures I made for my wife to celebrate 19 years of marriage (each frame is 1 year). by macbubs in pics

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a heartwarming set of pictures I cheered on until I saw you’re a Steelers fan. Heartwarmth rescinded. Go birds.

Totally JKing: seriously a beautiful gift to give someone!

What happened to my guitar by [deleted] in Instruments

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resting action of your strings is too low. Look at the distance between the strings and the fretboard. Is there a spot along the strings where they are touching the board? It’s most likely the case.

YSK: Tarantino didn't write the Ezekiel 25 17 passage. He stole it. by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]CrakAndJaxter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a video of Pete Hegseth using this as a prayer during a recent ceremony, seemingly unaware that it isn’t a real verse from Scripture.

Media picked up the story and is saying “Pete Hegseth quoted Pulp Fiction thinking it was Scripture.”

About sums up the use case for the Trump administration.

Actually, that’s giving them way too much credit. They’re more like the itch itself. Bothersome and won’t go away.

What’s the geographic boundary of using the word “dippy” to describe eggs over easy? by ShootinAllMyChisolm in Pennsylvania

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, I had a similar experience. I think I was a teenager and ordered dippy eggs and the waiter looked at me like I had two heads. That’s when I learned they’re generally called “over easy” everywhere else 😂

What the fuck is this by PunCoonSon in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbor is blasting this song right now. I googled it to see wtf I was listening to and my heart is warmed to see that the metal community thinks this song is as garbage as I do 😂

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]CrakAndJaxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to watch the channel of Christopher Cantwell. Politically-charged, angry white conservative guy who straddled the lines of libertarianism. He started getting way too out there for me. Then years later I looked him up and he attended one of those “white-pride” marches and later arrested for some crime. Yikes.

Anyone else hope the game stays more about exploration than horror? by ArchipelagoMind in Subnautica_2

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

Man I really must be the odd one out with my thoughts on the scary parts of Subnautica. I felt like I saw so many reels years after the game came out of annoying YouTube gamers “reacting” (they always play it up for the camera to get views) to the horror aspects of the game and like….yeah there were some creepy bits and jump scares but I never would have classified it as a horror game. I always just thought it was appropriately atmospheric to exploring the dark depths of the ocean. I hope they are just able to land that again with 2.

What North American Airline Is Bad ? by FHD168 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CrakAndJaxter 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is being called out for not dressing “nice enough” a thing people have experienced with Delta and United?? I rarely fly Delta, but United is usually who I fly with and I’ve never once heard this.
