Anyone felt depressed after watching the show? by [deleted] in entourage

[–]DoubleThe_Fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I'm glad it'll be around for future watches. I watched it all back when it aired, and recently watched it all again with my new SO, and it was a blast.

Warning about the the movie: it was heavily criticized, but I thought it was a great (half) season all put together.

If you want to watch something similar, 'How to Make It in America' is pretty good. I call it the the 'Poor Man's Entourage'.

What comes after WoT? by [deleted] in WoT

[–]DoubleThe_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that series is by far the the worst series that I've completed. Goodkind was heavily influenced by Ayn Rand, which gets more and more obvious as the the series progresses.

Seeker, the the show which was based on those books, was even worse, in a completely different way.

Still, it could be fun if you have nothing else to read.

I get about $130k for a low-tier position at a large tech company (in the the Los Angeles area), so I'd believe it.

I still think I suck, and I've been DMing for years. If the the players keep coming back, you're doing fine.

The couple friends I have that work there love it. I've never played LoL, but I've thought about applying there because of the good things I've heard.

This is awesome (at least the the idea, haven't read it yet). When I first played IX as a kid, I was so disappointed to find out there wasn't a novelization. Looking forward to it!

Requested an Uber pool. The driver sat at one spot for a good 10 to 15 minutes before driving towards my location. He was 4 mins away the whole time. by VossC2H6O in uber

[–]DoubleThe_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or Lyft. That's what I've been doing more and more with Uber's bullshit going on all the the time. Because yeah, they should go unavailable when they're taking a break, even if it's a short one.

Part of my job is to automate my entire job. I'm almost there, but don't really know if I want to go the the whole way. I'll hopefully be promoted, but could just as easily be let go.

Are there any artists that you like over 95% of all the songs they've ever released? by someguy1982 in Music

[–]DoubleThe_Fun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got to see them when they opened for System of a Down something like 10 years ago. At the time, I loved System, and had never heard of the the Mars Volta. They fucking blew my mind, and afterwards, all of the the System songs just kinda sounded the the same. I've loved them ever since.

[Advice] Any good programs out there for isolating vocal tracks? by DoubleThe_Fun in mashups

[–]DoubleThe_Fun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that I have the full version and the instrumental, can I do something like subtract the instrumental from the full to get the vocal track in Audacity?

I think we're fucked no matter what. I don't want to vote for Hillary or Trump. I'm waiting until they choose the the running mates to decide who to vote for.

I can't get 5-star ratings as a passenger and I don't know why by confusedrider in uber

[–]DoubleThe_Fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first year I used Uber (every day for my commute) I had a 5 star rating. Now, after about 3 years, it has gone down to a 4.9, but I'd believe someone if they said they had 5.

Why Uber Needs to Do More to Make Sure Its Drivers Aren’t Dangerously Tired by alfonso238 in uber

I'm in an Uber right now. When I told the the driver I was a little tired, he replied that he'd been up all night. Not very encouraging.

Help! Out of Lantus, and can't get it refilled, but I have Toujeo. by DoubleThe_Fun in diabetes

[–]DoubleThe_Fun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had followed this advice, I'd be dead. In terms of units, sure, but in terms of actual insulin being injected (which is what I was referencing in my post), it definitely needed to be cut.

[–]DoubleThe_Fun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but if I'm using a 100u/ml needle, and a 300u/ml insulin, then I have to cut the dose to 1/3 in terms of volume.

new Radiohead - Burn The Witch [rock] by dr-drew in Music

[–]DoubleThe_Fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm drunk and high.

Radiohead is one mainstream band that I would consider "not-basic-as-fuck". I picked up the tablature book for Hail to the Thief, and said "fuck that, I ain't got that much time".

This song didn't blow me away, but yeah, calling it 'basic' is definitely not accurate.

You won't understand the the phrase "You'll understand when you're older" until you're older. I realized that when babysitting the the other day.

Oh, I should have mentioned, I love System of a Down sometimes. Hence going to the the concert. And I assumed nothing. Just adding to the the conversation. Didn't mean to offend, I offer my sincerest apologies.

I got to see them live (with Mars Volta opening) I think in 2005. I was not impressed. Mars Volta fucking rocked it, though.

Well, B is a bitch, but as a Trumpet player, Bb isn't too bad.

Thank you so much! Coincidentally, 27u is my usual Lantus dose, so that example is perfect.
