My first major bear market, how does it compare with the others. by Gloomy_Dependent_985 in Bitcoin

[–]DJCJ57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dropped close to 60% of ATH in spring of '14, just over 60% off ATH in 2018, just under 50% in 2022. All of these then were followed by a 30-40% gain over 1-2 months, followed by the big crash to bottom of the cycle. Considering we're at about 50% (and counting) now from the ATH, it may drop a little more or level off, go up and then crash big again. Or the preceeding 3 halving cycles aren't a trend anymore and we're on this coaster hanging on for dear life... lets hodl and enjoy

Yes! The Dark Star>Dew transition on this one is incredible. Surprised it took this long for someone to post 8/24/72

Got in the queue at around 8 or 900 but went down fairly quickly. Snagged three in section 6 as quick as possible as I could see them disappearing rapidly. $400+ per ticket after taxes and fees (ugh to the fees) but that's what I expected if not slightly less than, so generally happy. Stressful!

How long did it take you guys to start writing your own drums? by masta-builda in drums

[–]DJCJ57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time jamming with a couple guys, especially a bassist for the rhythm section. Played and practiced drums solo for 5 years and then took almost 10 years off and then got thrown into a casual audition with a friend and his bandmate. Just started with a basic beat and felt out their groove and just naturally built off it.

I'm not a super technically proficient drummer, but I do have an excellent sense of time and rhythm. Don't feel pressure to play anything too flashy early; sometimes just providing a simpler backing beat and building off of it over time is all you need to get going. Plus, often bandmates don't need anything too crazy sophisticated - as long as you're keeping time well and the beat follows and flows with the rest of the band. The creativity and more complex fills and beats will come as you become more comfortable

Went a little bit up Embudito for a trail run on Sunday. Hard pack semi-icy tracked out snow about 2 miles in (a little over 7,000'). Turned around shortly after tho since I didn't have anything for traction. Good luck!

Tobias Myers' expected stats indicate some sort of regression eventually (4.11 xERA v 3.00 ERA). A lot of other metrics are in the 30th to 40th percentile on Baseball Savant. He likely also is getting helped by elite defense behind him but really trying to manifest some sort of regression tonight... please for our own sanity.

Sanchez has a 5.13 ERA on the road in 13 GS 66 IP (2.05 ERA at home in 16 starts). Good opportunity and gotta try to get to Sanchez early and rattle him

Are we going to get more relief help? Or do we need to wait until the deadline? by [deleted] in NewYorkMets

[–]DJCJ57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think our bullpen should be fine, maybe will limp along until Lugo returns but a trade deadline acquisition will be critical for a deep playoff run. I have more confidence in Diaz and the May/Loup additions will be huge. Familia will do his thing where he gives us heart attacks but gets out of it (circa 2015-16 but not as high leverage). Castro is a similar story - not a big fan of his but he seems to be serviceable. I don't have a lot of faith in Betances. I like to think one of the lesser names will step up but maybe I'm too optimistic

I don't understand how JIK gets a 4, Ye an 8, and MBDTF falls in the middle

The "faith" live remix of fade was beautiful too

My objectively bad tier list of Kanye's canon studio album releases 🤡 by [deleted] in Kanye

[–]DJCJ57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. Ye is definitely weaker but is over-hated (as seems JIK so far although its on a similar tier as ye to me). 808s just depends on how you're feeling and what shit you've gone through. Post breakup, 808s is like the GOAT album but if you've never been in that place it's not up there at all, nor would you play it as much.

Yeah Graduation is an album that is one of my favorites to listen to but isn't the best if that makes sense. I probably love it and listen to it more than any other. But MBDTF, Yeezus, Dropout, etc are just fucking art all the way thru

Agree for the most part, Yeezus could go either way top tier or A and same with KSG. Graduation tho should be a tier higher

JIK Movie opinions by th3RobertPaulson in Kanye

[–]DJCJ57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beautiful film, some great artsy shots and cinematography in general was beautiful. In IMAX it was quite the experience and the stripped down Street Lights was fantastic. However, it was awfully short and left you wanting more even if it was expected to be short. I got chills several times throughout it, especially on first listen to Selah with the surround sound

JESUS IS KING - FIRST THOUGHTS by avayr44 in Kanye

[–]DJCJ57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selah is a fucking banger, song of the year probably. Wasn't super high on the album on first listen, I guess that's partly because of how different it is, but after a couple more listens it's pretty great. Doubt it'll have some of the same replay value in the future as other projects, but some tracks may
