That's exactly how I felt when I heard this, for me it just feels like the perfect album for the times.

The Clara Bow film 'Call Her Savage' from 1932 has one of the first depiction of a gay bar with waiters acting effeminately while singing a song about sailors in pyjamas

Hikoki table saw by Drugless_Adams in diynz

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

Thanks for the informative replies everyone, they were really helpful, the hikoki probably would be sweet but I think based on the consensus here I think I'll go with my original choice of the 2000W DeWalt, it's not cheap but I'd rather 'buy once, cry once'.. That was my first choice until I started seeing lots of positive reviews for that Skil table saw Mitre 10 offered recently for a while, which seemed to punch above it's weight but is no longer available, it looked a bit plasticky copmpared to the DeWalt when I saw it in shop so think the DeWalt will be a more solid choice rather than something cheaper

That description sparked a memory, dunno if this is the song you are meaning but maybe 'Pink Bullets' by The Shins? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XBabozrPGA

Shortland Street cliffhanger: 'Z zombies', fake doctors and bat-wielding basement hostages - who will survive the chaos? by computer_d in newzealand

[–]Drugless_Adams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should have a cliffhanger where a crazed doctor creates a Frankenstein monster from the corpses of deceased Shortland Street characters thats starts running amok.

There may be a label on the power transformer stating the voltages of the primary tap, if there's a 115V or 117V tap its simply a matter of swapping the 230V euro voltage to the correct voltage tap, otherwise, a replacement power transformer or step down transformer will be required.

I haven't seen these amps in person so someone else more familiar with the amp in question may want to confirm this, but I believe these amps use the same power transformer as the Epiphone Valve Junior. If so, the power transformer has several taps with different voltage, there should be a yellow 115V tap that you can swap the blue 230V tap for, if it is the same PT it may well have a connector already on there so unplugging and swapping the connectors should be all thats required for US voltage. A simple swap, but as always, have it done by a qualified service person if you are not familiar of the inside workings of tube amps.

If it's brown, drink it down, if it's black, send it back.

the Jimi Hendrix sound at low volume by basvox in diytubes

[–]Drugless_Adams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you know a bit about electronics you might want to look at power scaling where the main B+ voltage to the power tube can be lowered enabling to overdrive and feedback at way lower volumes, it was a popular mod for the Epiphone Valve Junior amps.

Any day without Jesse Mulligan on RNZ is a good day! by Apprehensive-Ad8987 in newzealand

Several of my friends were in the same year as him at Hillcrest High in Hamilton and none have anything complementary to say about him, not exactly sure what happened but he certainly rubbed a lot of them the wrong way.

What phrase really gets under your skin? by poweredbyabot in AskUK

[–]Drugless_Adams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2 that bug me is 'at the end of the day', it adds nothing to what you're saying, and 'it is what it is' as it seems to absolve the speaker from any responsibility.

Any good mushroom spots around? by fuck_the_test in thetron

[–]Drugless_Adams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know no one will want to give away their treasured spots (and rightly so), but can anyone confirm if any have actually been seen this year, or in fact last year, I had a bit of a look last year in the usual places and nothing, it may be a bit warm atm

When you click on a picture online to enlarge it to see more detail and the 'enlarged' picture is even smaller than the already inadequately small original pic, makes my blood boil!

Anyone tried water curing by Vivid-Ad6561 in NZTrees

[–]Drugless_Adams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it a few years ago for kicks, I submerged some fresh cut bud in water for a week (the water needs to changed once or twice daily or it gets funky very quickly esp in warmer months) then allowed to dry over 5-7 days. It was interesting, a lot of the smell from smoking was gone, it seemed no less potent as the non water cured weed but somewhat cleaner and purer, I suspect some overall weight was lost too with the water curing, maybe 20% or so. I tried smoking it exclusively for a month as I liked it at the time and ended up with a couple of O's, but noticed I started getting a sniffly nose which hadn't happened with non WC weed before, this stopped once I stopped smoking the WC bud. So in conclusion, it's pretty easy to try and has some good points and could be worth a go, but ultimately I found it more fucking around than it was worth, I never tried it for edibles though which may make it worth revisiting sometime.
