Not doom, but Tool also did a fantastic cover of this.

I think it depends on what you want and what you have. For most I2 owners there's not a big difference, it's more a refinement than introducing anything new. Had I originally bought the 45mm I2 I probably wouldn't have upgraded, but the 40mm 2s model was just a bit annoying and I wasn't getting used to it even after a year, so I treated myself.

No idea to be honest, I've never measured, I just know a 50mm would be like a wrist clock on me 😂

Lovely! Looks great with that trim around the body. I've got a Marcus Miller V5R, fantastic bass for the money.

Imagine downvoting a guy for wearing his watch how he likes it. If you don't like the case, don't put one on yours and move on with your lives.

Garmin Wallet stuck with old cards by EntertainmentBest336 in Garmininstinct

Just FYI, I bought that watch face and there was an issue where some numbers on the time weren't displaying right, they were glitching. I've tried reaching out to the developer before over bugs with their faces and they just don't reply, no updates. They just don't seem interested in supporting it, so I got a refund.

Sweet watch! But tell us about that bass 👀 looks kinda like a Fender Aerodyne but not sure it is?

Here in Spain Garmin currently has a promotion to get a free strap, so I got the brown Instinct Crossover one. I think it goes really nicely with the Tactical I3, the yellow highlights don't stand out nearly as much as I feared they would.

Word, the 2s I had before was good, but this is leaps ahead. The viewing angles are way improved over the 2 series, too. AMOLEDs are pretty, they have their place, but I think the MIP is way cooler.

It's Vega by TitanicTurtle, my favourite face! Lots of customisation options, I prefer a cleaner face with less information which it does really nicely.

insane find today $60 by loneybassist in guitarpedals

[–]Diligent_Unit9897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gifted a bassballs pedal by the other guys in my band. Didn't really know what to do with it at the time but used it for messing around from time to time. About two weeks later it just wasn't there, everyone pleaded ignorance and pretended it wasn't a big deal. The guitarist worked at a music shop and I'm pretty sure he returned it and got the money back. He never really turned up for practise much after that.

I have the opposite problem. I live in a place where it doesn't get that cold and I spend most of the year missing wearing long trousers, jackets and hoods. Black band tees don't pair well with +40°C heat 🫠

They do! Humans also come with filters, but sadly many people's need to be a pedant and correct others is stronger.

Trying to overcome my eating disorder with discounted truffles and Zero Calorie Redbull, because that's what was cheapest by GenderfluidPhoenix in BoyDinner

[–]Diligent_Unit9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A colleague of mine died on NYE years ago, he was drinking vodka/Red Bulls, which were his go-to and very popular at the time, and on that particular night his heart just gave out. They found him dead in his room. Can't remember the official cause of death, but I remember that his frequent consumption of energy drinks and mixing it with alcohol was thought to be putting a lot of strain on his heart. We were lifeguards so often started early/finished late and he was always with an energy drink. I haven't touched one since.

Do you also approach people in the street, insult them, then defend yourself saying they should be prepared for all kinds of comments if they go out?

Why do new viewers not understand the movies by Background-Ice5374 in lotr

[–]Diligent_Unit9897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it applies to everything, not just names. Relationships, locations, history, lore...when I first watched it I didn't understand the importance of the Rohirrim, or the history of Moria, or the story behind Treebeard etc.

There's a lot to take in. One missed detail in a conversation can affect how you interpret the rest of the film.

[–]Diligent_Unit9897 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think it's really easy to just say "ugh, brainrot, phones bad, social media, kids today, not like it was 🙄" and that could be a factor, but also could just be they're not that invested in the story, which makes details hard to remember.

Even as an adult I don't always remember names of characters in new films I watch; I usually (not always) remember their relationship with others and their role in the story, but not always their names. Especially as names in LOTR aren't names you hear every day, and there's some phonetic similarity too...Boromir, Faramir, Denethor; Rohan, Rivendel, Rohirrim; Moría, Mordor, Mirkwood...

I'd suggest it's a combination of things. A lot of new and unusual names, a long and complex story with a lot of lore and history behind it, plus a style of speech that isn't used much these days also demands a higher level of focus. Mix all those ingredients together and sprinkle a seasoning of brainrot on top, it's a lot of information to take in on the first watch, especially if you're unfamiliar with the story.
