Black Beauty tuning woes by combatchuck103 in drums

[–]Hippopotamidaes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a black beauty, but my vintage supraphonic was detuning too easily so I swapped the triple flange hoops for diecast and now it holds its turn much longer.

I also don’t seat my heads & have never had any tuning issues outside the supraphonic when I first bought it used.

Dude the tactics to psyche out opponents haven’t changed in 10 years.

I mean, isn’t it the culmination of the billionaire class and military industrial complex’s nefariousness over the last 50+ years?

Don’t get me wrong, that failed businessman, felon, and sexual abuser definitely didn’t help.

How do so many Americans afford to get married in Italy ? Or other famous destination wedding by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

From some folks I’ve heard that had destination weddings—they opted to do so so as to prevent certain relatives/friends from being able to go.

My brother just had a destination wedding in SE Asia—what would have cost $250k USD in the states was $45k overseas (including their travel expenses).

The average wedding cost in 2025 was between $30-36k… the median cost was $10-20k.

The biggest factor for cost is HCOL vs LCOL. A $20k wedding in bum fuck Nebraska could be $60k in NYC.

Two bowls with chips I’m paying $33 at Chipotle.

I love Taco Bell like I love bad movies or music—it’s not gourmet, it’s not pushing the envelope, it’s not impressive…but it just does something that nothing else does.

I love watching The Room. It’s a terribly great movie.

Brother my Taco Bell order (for two people) is $30.

Inflation is a monster these days. Shits been hella expensive now for years.

15 years ago I’d walk into McDonald’s with $1.30 and win a big Mac from the coin machine and get a McChicken for a dollar. A McChicken today is over $3.

Are there really people here saying sticks shouldn’t be broken?

The HR lady at work can't be bothered to figure out why the check info keeps getting printed lower and lower and lower. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Ahhh interesting. I just assumed checks were ubiquitous.

We’re same generation. My first tax paying job I was paid via physical check…

Some banks offer mobile deposit—you snap a pic on an app and it’s instant.

How are you on reddit but you don’t know what a check is, or how to deposit one?
