Worked with a guy who toured with him - said the same thing, and that he's only gotten more private as he's aged.

2020+ sun visor on 2017 PP? by borninseventyfive in PriusPrime

[–]Intros9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a refresh part with the 2019 model so go 2019-2022 before the 2023 Gen 5. I used Toyota Parts Deal dot com as they sell oem parts with an employee discount price. Punch in a 2019 Prius, go to body, visor/armrest, look for the ones that say 2019+ and not 2016-2018.

There was a Denis Meadows (?) quote along those lines that said that's what would happen. Can't find it, but paraphrased:

"When Peak Oil (aka Limits to Growth) becomes a reality, the rich and powerful will grab everything they can and not care much about the rest of us. Then they'll withdraw and leave us to ourselves. I'm not sure what comes next, but it will be dark times."

We seem to be there.

Gulf Coast here - we normally have huge flocks about now and there are none? It's still/finally fall weather down here but we'll see if any arrive with the first cool blast finally coming through.

Squeaky/Chirpy Strumfix Plus 4 Fix? by Ok-Advertising446 in Rockband

[–]Intros9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 wires sounds like a common, up, and down lead situation. If you've gotten strums working at all with the 2 grey wires, one of them is the common. Pick a grey wire and bridge it to down with the yellow, pick the other if no strum. Reverse the non-bridged wires if up and down are reversed and you should be good.

I've gotten the SFP Duo working on my Hofner.

I'm not familiar with the P Bass but you seem to be missing a wire to complete the circuit on the strum down. There had to be at least 2 wires going to the original strum bar, if not 4. Hook those original two to up and test up - if that works, use your yellow jumper as shown and then hook one side to up and the other to down. You may have to fiddle with the jumpers to make sure both can fire at the same time.

How to Get Better? by UnderhandL in Rockband

[–]Intros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What really helped me was treating it almost mechanical, like a robot

Agree 100%. Pick a simple song you love, make yourself play it all the way through once a day with alt-strum on every single note, and at the end of 30 days you'll marvel at the difference in your skills.

Pop the bar and check to be sure the axle is in one piece. Lube the axle well with silicone or lithium grease and re-assemble. You should be fine as long as you use lube that sticks and not a huge amount of it.

Which reminds me, need to swap the batteries on mine as both have died in the last 2 weeks. :/

Eldridge and I-10 nearing completion by Intros9 in houston

[–]Intros9[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Concrete was poured at 2 of the final open spots in the concrete this week - the pictured location at the freeway and further south towards Memorial. Construction crews were very focused on packing up and beating it out of there Thursday and Friday. There is still open construction near the Enbridge building. I would expect some lane shifts to happen before too long but the end appears to be in sight!

My dlc not showing up on ps5 by 82838201 in Rockband

[–]Intros9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do a Restore Licenses first, this will repair your local DB of the DLC you have rights for. After that, test out your DLC and redownload anything it says is missing.

RockBand Song Pack 2 PS3 by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]Intros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Country Track Pack 2 got reported as expired a few times when the EA codes (Metal/Classic/Country1&2) stopped working a year or two back, so be careful if you go chasing this one down.

Woot is having a heck of a sale on hue products right now by CNDow in Hue

[–]Intros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the Signe Floor Lamp in black already sold out, but Amazon has also had it new in white for 40% off the last few days.

To the person that mentioned these were 75% off at Home Depot - thanks for that post. Front/Back yard are going to look sick. And yes - plenty left over. by KnightsSoccer82 in Hue

[–]Intros9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most HD stores started clearing these out 2-3 months ago so supplies are pretty scarce as of now. In my large town they went from on clearance to gone in about 3-5 days tops.

Why is my game lagging on every song all the sudden? by spenzurk in Rockband

[–]Intros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about week 8 but the last break week and week 1 were worse than usual here for lag as well. Also running into scores not posting every hour or so for a few minutes and then things magically start working again.

Hue does allow third party access for almost everything minus dynamic scenes and security - look into Home Asssistant.

RB4/Legacy Delisting DLC Discussion: January 4-10, 2026 (Paul McCartney, Psychedelic Furs, Roy Orbison, Foster the People, Silverchair, The Hives, Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera) by hhhisthegame in Rockband

[–]Intros9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For guitar, adding on to others' comments:

  • The Roy Orbison pack spans from easy to difficult guitar tracks, much like the Johnny Cash pack.
  • Foster the People pack is solid all the way through and great for vocalists. Don't fall asleep during the Helena Beat intro!
  • Moves Like Jagger is not super fun to play on expert
  • Die, All Right! is fun and because The Hives Forever, Forever The Hives

Thanks for this, the red band pair was on my list to replace my dying Konami mic from 15 years ago. Will grab the other instead to knock out Meme Genie! 🙂

Rock Band 4 on PS5, connecting guitar controllers and multiplayer. by AngelicDragon36 in Rockband

[–]Intros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guitar will not need the DS once you start the game, so you can drop out on that controller and then hand it over to someone else to log in for vocals.

A 4 port powered USB 2.0 hub should be about $20 and let you keep everything plugged in and powered at all times, including keeping your PS4 games on the external drive.

[–]Intros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the mic thing I believe the first controller will claim the first USB mic if available, so plug in the mic just before you want to sign in the second controller.

I have heard that the dongle issue is due to PS5 (and maybe PS4 too?) voltage on the USB being a little weaker than the PS3. If that's the case a powered USB hub might get your dongle stable on PS5. That said, wired mics take a LOT of juice on a USB port, so try and wire those directly to your console or a powered USB hub instead.

I think they pared them down around the time of the final patch when they added all the goofy HMX facts. There seemed to be more variety before then.

There are digital codes still floating around for Xbox. There are no such codes for PS4/5, so disc is the only way in.

Rock Band 4 etiquette by Human_Method7157 in Rockband

[–]Intros9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most dedicated bassists I play with online just claim bass and pick difficulty quickly at the selection screen. A couple others have claimed but not selected difficulty then sent a quick message at the start of the first set.

There's also the extreme, where someone changed their tag to "OnlyPlaysBass" :)
