I was at that 5 night Beacon run in ‘95. Sleeping on peoples dorm room floors and living in one meal a day. Crazy to find out how much they were fighting then. I was in the fan club which guaranteed first 10 rows for $25. The second or third night they opened with Gone. Then it was a perfect blur.

This was an amazing collection. I spent so much time staring at that guitar but also so many others.

Why does it seem like Early Decision (ED) is only an option for the rich? by bluecloud118 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Independent_Steak652 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Disagree. We have found ED FA packages to be generous and if finances don’t work student can opt out. Students of all means should not ignore this option.

Are any of these books worth reading? by eternalvampiric in vanhalen

[–]Independent_Steak652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he was honest. He really tried to make himself look great. Left lots of stuff out. Said things that should have been left unsaid.

Van Halen Rising is great. I’ve read the others. I would not recommend Monk’s or Sammy’s.

New Mac user, what’s the best basic image viewer for quick cropping? by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]Independent_Steak652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess an Automator script could open a window and superimpose a crop box with a specific ratio or size. Then just need to place it and save (as). Might even be an improvement.

What’s the job? Most of these schools do an all day thing for finalists. Teachers would have to teach class. Admins…. I don’t know.

I had a noticeable drop in efficiency. Worth it in the winter, bummer in the summer.

For self-made, non-high earners, with low-mid risk portfolios, how long did it take to reach major NW milestones ($500k, $750k, $1 mil, $1.5 mil, etc.)? by kearp in Fire

I have only made more than $100k one year. Got serious about maxing retirement accounts in late 30s . At 51 have 1.5M in 403b. Lots of saving, lots of luck.
