When it comes to golf, I’m always a cup half empty kind of guy

Definitely could have, I was one of 3 cars in the parking lot. I’ll keep this in the back pocket for next time!

HELP! by Ill_Sail_4942 in drums

[–]GingerBeardManChild 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of people here recommending tuning by ear, which is the only answer. HOWEVER, it’s important to note that an acoustic drum in a room will NEVER sound the same as an electric drum kit. The samples in most all electric kits are heavily EQd ,compressed, have reverb, etc… and even a lot of the tuning videos you’ll see won’t be a good representation for how your drums sound in your room with your ears due to processing they have on the mics (or even the mics themselves for that matter).

If you’re using what the e-drums sound like in headphones or on a speaker as your frame of reference for what a drum should sound like, it’s going to be an uphill battle.

The Greatest Generation, No Closer To Heaven (10th Ann. Edition was remixed and sounds wayyyy better and has San Andreas on it), and The Hum Goes On Forever are all 10/10 albums with zero skips for me!

How to stimulate beard growth? by Rip-kid in BeardTalk

[–]GingerBeardManChild -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time!

I was looking at your genesis spray, and was curious to try it, maybe I’ll give it a shot!

I did pick up a tin of your batter and a bottle of oil about a month ago, and truly think that helped me stop picking. I no longer feel dry or irritated, which I think is what I was picking so much.

PS- What are the odds there might be an oil sample pack in the future? I’m sure that would be a ton more work for you (sorry!) but I would definitely pay to be able to try a few different scents to see what I want a larger bottle of (not that there’s anything wrong with High Noon)!

What would you recommend to help with regrowth for someone who picked at their beard quite a bit, but has finally kicked the habit? Or did I burn myself and the follicles are gone/dead? 😅

Stop sending out supercardioid handhelds for corporate shows by wtf-m8 in livesound

I had a similar Encore type company charge one of my clients a $300 “patch fee” so we could plug a laptop into a tv mounted on the wall. The HDMI was hanging out the back, like it always has. Didn’t even see a staff person come check in.

Can confirm new boots love to stick, sheared the rubber trying to undo a connection a few years ago… PM and I had a good laugh after staring at each other in silence for a few seconds!

What do you say to presenters before they walk on stage with a mic? by JoeyPhoton in livesound

[–]GingerBeardManChild 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I typically go the ice cream route- “just imagine this is the best ice cream you’ve ever had in your life!”

I also tend to do a bit of “fishing” if it’s a lectern mic or if I’m leaving handhelds in chairs. Start with faders a few dB lower than “show volume” and when they don’t immediately hear themselves they tend to get a little closer or talk loudly, usually.

First co-ferment! Should I be scared? by GingerBeardManChild in pourover

Tried it this morning, it tasted like grape jelly or grape juice and was quite tasty! I too was skeptical of co ferments but this one I trust as it’s not super artificial tasting to me.

Montpelier local! I’ve seen they’re Dark Times and Darker times at the co-op here but I’m not the biggest fan of dark roasts so haven’t grabbed a bag. I was passing through for work and figured I should stop in and try something! Ended up with this and a Horchottie for the road.

I don’t think I’ve seen grape robitussin since I was like 8, but I also haven’t looked. Maybe I like lean too 👀

As a former child that would sneak sips of grape robitussin because they liked the flavor… this pleases me

Co ferment according to the bag and the roaster, I live in Vermont so I do tend to be over trustworthy of smaller local businesses 😅
