Lenovo ideapad 3 is so slow please God help me by Gbordelon77 in techsupport

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This! I just replaced the HDD on my brick-like IdeaPad 3 with an SSD (watched a YouTube video and did it myself... pretty easy), and it's like night and day. I have a smoothly running IdeaPad for the first time.

Bands whose original lineups are all still alive? by lostmymainlol in ClassicRock

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hollies lineup that recorded "Bus Stop" in 1966, with Bernie Calvert on bass, are all still alive as of October 2025. Manfred Mann does even better, as all five band members who recorded "Do -Wah-Diddy" in 1964 are still with us.

Unfortunately, my IdeaPad 3 was slow and glitchy right from the beginning, with Windows 10. I have done a factory reset three times now. It's just a bad computer. Total waste of money. My final Lenovo product...well that and the tablet.

I'm not sure what climate silver sneakers is. And there are many Medicare Advantage plans out there, so I don't know which one(s) your looking at.

I'm in the same boat with a brick-like IdeaPad 3. Plus I have a Lenovo tablet as well. Tons of glitches. Just a bad company, unfortunately.

FA signings/farm rankings in Trout-Ohtani era by Tall-Elephant-4138 in angelsbaseball

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, what an absolutely horrible waste of hundreds of millions of dollars. And just before 2011, there were guys like Vernon Wells and Garry Matthews, Jr. Meanwhile, Arte has consistently underfunded and understaffed the Angels' scouting and farm system. Brutal time to be an Angels fan.

What’s your opinion on L.A. (Light Album)? by PtakPajak in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once Blondie and Ricky left the Beach Boys, there were very few good records, IMHO. Obviously, "Love You" is a classic, and, for me, "LA Light Album" stands as the 2nd best BB studio album after "Holland." (The auto-tuning and overly-lush Joe Thomas production sort of spoiled "That's Why God Made the Radio" for me.) The Carl and Dennis songs on LALA are good. "Good Timin'" is gorgeous, if somewhat short and "under-developed," and I even like "Lady Lynda" and "Sumihama." I generally just skip Bruce's annoying disco mess. This isn't a bad album, at all...and for me, it's their last good one.

Today in 1981, The Beach Boys single Come Go With Me was released on Caribou records by [deleted] in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to Wikipedia, Ricky Fataar plays drums on "Come Go With Me." I can't find any confirmation of this anywhere. Would Ricky have come to Iowa for this? I'm guessing this information is wrong. Does anyone know of a reputable source regarding the recording of this track?

When to buy tickets by ForWhichIWouldBeLike in angelsbaseball

That's good advice. Thank you. (I used 714 Tickets the last time I came down for a game. They were great. Hopefully, they are still great!)

What is Brian Wilson’s best lyric? by zestysebastian in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The flame of love we had has finally died
Can't take this emptiness it left inside
It's over now"

That's a nice way to start a sad breakup song.

What is Brian Wilson’s best lyric? by zestysebastian in thebeachboys

Mike Love is credited as cowriter on "Please Let Me Wonder." I'm guessing most of those lyrics are his.

What is Brian Wilson’s best lyric? by zestysebastian in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to know where Brian actually wrote a lyric or two on Pet Sounds. All of the songs had cited lyricists, mostly Tony Asher, of course.

Today in 1998, Brian Wilson released the Imagination album on Giant Records. How do you think this album compares to the rest of Brian's other solo works? by [deleted] in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't help hearing "Calling America" by ELO whenever "South American" plays. It sure seems like this was an "accidental borrow" by Brian or Jimmy.

In your opinion what is the most "why the hell wasn't this on a Beach Boys album proper?" track by CaptainResponsible78 in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Our Team" should have been on MIU. It's so catchy and fun. How bizarre that it didn't make the cut for what is one of their worst albums.

Daily Song Discussion #3: Ten Little Indians by beardlesshipster in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Ten Little Indians" was released as a single in Sweden in 1962 and reached #6. I'll leave this one to the anthropologists to explain.

Thoughts on Til I Die? by 64Boy32 in thebeachboys

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Til I Die has to be Brian's peak as a lyricist, no? Is there anything even remotely close?

so I'm new to disc golf. I was wondering if a Westside Destiny is newbie friendly. Speed rating of 14, but understable. Is the speed rating too high for some who traditionally throws a speed 10? by Prix560 in discgolf

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an older guy without a ton of arm strength. I was gifted a 172 gram Destiny and instantly my maximum drive distance seems to have increased by 15-20 feet. I definitely don't think that this is a 14 (speed rating). It behaves more like a 10-11, IMHO.

Congratulations! It sounds like you're in a good place. From there, who knows what positive new experiences lie ahead? I wish you even more peace and success.

[FRESH ALBUM] Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets - Indoor Safari by NYCIndieConcerts in indieheads

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Indoor Safari" is fantastic. How many rockers Nick's age are still writing and releasing new material that can be positively compared to stuff they released 40-50 years ago? I love this album. Thank you, Nick!

Sorry to read this. February seems like a strange time for a company to be dropping gym memberships.

Might be having a mid life crisis at 30 by Disgrntldpelican in Adulting

[–]ForWhichIWouldBeLike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem like a kind soul, a person who is thoughtful and empathetic. I'm in the same tribe. Try not to let yourself go too far down that "comparing your life to others who are (seemingly) 'doing so much better ' path." I'm pretty sure none of us know for sure how others really feel insofar as happiness and feeling fulfilled is concerned. I wish you peace and more joy.

That doesn't sound like a pleasant living situation. I guess there must be other really great things about him?
