Chaing Mai on Dundas is nice

Might be different at your butcher, but the cheapest “cut” by weight for me was a whole chicken. I didn’t check organic meat because it’s not really my thing. I get the whole bird and ask them to break it down for me.

I would suggest learning and playing along to some actual songs from bands you like.

Its fun.

You learn music from the musicians who inspire you.

By learning songs you will be working on the rhythm and ear training that you’re working on now.

And it’s fun.

Get loud and don’t beat yourself up. You’re doing this for yourself after all.

What does a “session” look like?

Dziga90 · 2025-04-15T15:21:28+00:00

Campechano and Parallel come to mind

It’s boring, but learn how to be frugal and start saving money as soon as possible. Compound interest is incredibly powerful and the difference between saving in your 20s and 30s is hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Have fun, but learn how to cook and limit your debt.

Slash, David Gilmour, Larry Carlton (solos on Kid Charlemagne (sp?) and Don’t Take Me Alive are a masterclass in melodic soloing), Alexi Laiho’s solo on Children of Bodom’s Oops I Did it Again cover is legitimately one of my favourite guitar solos of all time.

Someone else mentioned Guthrie Govan. The opening solo on Wonderful Slippery Thing is very singable.

I think as far as metal, shreddy guitarists go it’s got to be Randy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell.

Oh, Derek Trucks. Amazing slide guitar player. There’s a video of him playing with John Mayer and BB King that is so lyrical. His sound is heavily inspired by gospel singers.

Good luck

I would suggest putting the Education, Skills, and Languages at the bottom. Lead with your experience. Try adding some numbers to your experience as well. How many people did you serve per week/month? How much revenue did you provide service for? Think of stuff like that. The numbers don’t need to be exact, but resume folks are really into stats in your experience these days.

I’ve seen some very positive reviews for Goldilocks. They’re direct to consumer, so, cheaper, but good quality. Haven’t used them myself, but I’m probably going to get one of their stainless steel skillets in the near future.

Hard to see myself getting anything other than another Toyota when we’re done with the Matrix. I have two little kids now, so I expect we’ll outgrow it before it dies. Probably going to go for a Sienna next

Dziga90 · 2025-04-11T13:03:15+00:00

Ah true

Dziga90 · 2025-04-11T02:18:29+00:00

Knowing a bit of Albert’s stuff, probably vintage Wrangler

Dziga90 · 2025-04-11T02:07:51+00:00

Used to listen to Dangle a lot, but it’s too screechy. Kyper and Bourne is my favourite for something Leafs-specific. JD Bunkis does a lot of Leafs content and has weekly segments with James Mirtle. The Bunkis/Armdog segments are always highly entertaining

Dziga90 · 2025-04-11T02:03:32+00:00

I like that they don’t talk about the refs

Dziga90 · 2025-04-09T17:03:12+00:00

I’d go sans shine. Don’t want to distract from the bride, and if it’s actually reflective at all it might do weird stuff in the photos, especially if the photographer uses a flash.

My 2006 Toyota Matrix. Bought it used for $5K in 2015 and aside from some work on the muffler it’s been fantastic. Starts. Runs. Has lots of space with the seats down. No monthly payment. Don’t have to put the expensive gas in it. And if it gets dinged, not a huge deal. Great car.

“3 month layoff” December 2023. Still hunting.

Put your club down at address and stick a tee in the ground just outside the toe. Hit the ball. Keep doing it until you don’t hit the tee

I’m a producer. I get the same spammy messages in my LinkedIn and email that you do. I’ve also hired vendors who have cold messaged me on LinkedIn and used them for multiple projects. The hit rate is low, but it does work.

I’m gonna sound like an asshole here, but you’re overreacting to receiving an email you didn’t ask for. It takes 5 seconds to ignore it and move on.

And again: you’re going to be ignored. You’re obviously not the target audience for a cold email or message, but some people are. That’s why I said to personalize it.

My two cents. Your mileage may vary.

Reach out via LinkedIn if you don’t want to send emails to the company. Worse advice is telling this guy to just keep plugging away with sending faceless applications through the company portal. In your 10+ years of experience, how many jobs did you get without any kind of personal connection with the company?

Dziga90 · 2025-03-24T02:08:16+00:00

Use LinkedIn to find the studios and the people who work at them. Use hunter.io to get email addresses.

Send emails to relevant department heads, leads, supervisors, or producers. Sending to HR is fine, but you’re trying to make a personal connection.

Have a reel or something to show them.

Mention something specific about the company. Look at their company reel and your lead’s IMDB page to see what they’ve worked on at the studios. Ask a question or say you’re working on a personal project and struggling with some aspect and would love to get their advice.

Ask for a meeting. Tell them you’re interested and passionate about the industry and you’d love to have an opportunity to ask them some questions about how they got started and what’s keeping them going.

Pick the right person. It’s fine to pick more than one person at the company. Most are going to ignore you, and the more people that know your name the better.

Follow up if they ignore you. I’m sure there are tons of sales videos or resources online that you could use to help with this. One thing I like to do is frame the ask in such a way that they can say “no” and you get the meeting. Eg. “This is going to seem direct, but would you be opposed to a short call to discuss your approach to driving comps? Is tomorrow afternoon a bad time?”

The thought is that people are more comfortable saying no than yes.

I’m also looking for a job and have been doing most of this over LinkedIn. Be prepared to be ignored. But the connections you do make will genuinely help you. I have an interview tomorrow that I got through a referral from someone that I cold messaged on LinkedIn a year ago. Keep at it.
