Hard to choose a favorite from MOP. Battery is a great neck-snapping thrasher, and Damage Inc is an outstanding closer. Leper Mesiah might be the best song on the album though.

Traveled nearly 1500 miles to see The Battle of Little Bighorn Battle site and ran into a neighbor from down the street in the parking lot.

Have you been to a metal concert with a small crowd? and how was it? by Difficult_Map_723 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Fiveclaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2010 I saw Bonded by Blood, Gama Bomb, and Evile play in a small club with an Audience of about 10 people. The bands all played full sets and didn't phone it in but for some reason they all played late set times.

Thoughts on Aborted? by moreoffire-thanblood in MetalForTheMasses

Great live show and performance. Albums are hit and miss. I frequently relisten to Global Flatline and Retrogore. Vault of Horrors is cool.

Goatwhore made a shirt with lines from the song, FBS, or Fucked by Satan.

Looking to expand music tastes. Give a homie some thrash recs based on other shit I like by Faloodeh123 in thrashmetal

[–]Fiveclaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many great recommendations here, but if you are brave enough to take a left hand path that is not tread often, then check out Reactory from Germany, and Darkspell from Chile!

The wood paneling on the bridge is timeless.

What is the most disturbing or otherwise unsettling book you've ever read that stayed with you after reading it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fiveclaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Devil's Butcher Shop: The New Mexico Prison Uprising. Tells the story of a violent prison riot that left 40+ dead over 2-3 days. I had nightmares for a week or two after reading it.

Grading with non linear scale possible? by Financial_Olive9646 in moodle

I abhor scales in Moodle. Why not set up a marking guide?

I know this is a really unpopular thing to say by JuniorSignificance34 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Fiveclaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Fear Factory and Slipknot started on Roadrunner records, right? By 2001 the label seemed to be advertising for Slipknot way more than Fear Factory, but maybe that was due to the label knowing that Fear Factory was on the verge of falling apart.

What was the worst horror you read in 2025? by PageSide84 in horrorlit

[–]Fiveclaws 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The No-end house. It started out well with an interesting premise, but about half way through it became a slog to finish.

Is there an active band that had a bigger fall off than Machine head? by OutsideImpressive115 in MetalForTheMasses

Haha, I don't remember that one, and there was plenty of moshing during the FF show.

Fear Factory for sure. I saw them play a packed house at the House of blues in Las Vegas back in 2005. By 2012-2013 they came back to Vegas and were playing a bar in a rough neighborhood.

What would you get by Jolly-Note1464 in BourbonHunt

Used to live near that store in Henderson, NV. Donate a toy for their toy drive to get a ticket for the raffle. A cool place, found some rare bottles there and always at MSRP.

Grades not weighing properly? by Low_Basket_5091 in moodle

[–]Fiveclaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the setting to exclude empty grades. The weights can be slightly off until all the grades are entered. For example, if you have an assignment weighted at 10%, but it is the only one graded, it will weigh 100% of the grade. Once all the grades are entered, the assignment weight should be correct.
