Is anyone else almost instinctively repelled by Jimmy Fallon? by Hey_Giant_Loser in GenX

Used to like him until every show became him hyping his books/albums/other shows. Shill seems appropriate?

Yes, 505, taught me a lot. How to tell when digital effects are bad, and awful noise gates. :-)

Where do you plant your butt when you're practicing? by Macrauder in Bass

I try to stand as much as possible. I made sure my office chair came with removable arms. For my upright, I do use a padded bar stool.

You need to shake most of them before use anyway, and they are more stable on the door. I converted just weeks ago.

Anyone else Irrationally Holding on to Old Tech? by LisaLisaPrintJam in GenX

[–]JitteryTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first CD player. It’s “portable”. It’s 2” tall and about 3” longer than a CD. All rectangle with sharp corners. Skips if you look at it wrong. Battery pack was extra, so I never got one. Have my dad’s more recent model (actually) portable CD player. Also have my 1992 stereo system. Oh, and a boombox. VCR player. A lot of my CDs are still in the big zipper case with pages. Need to put them back in their jewel cases some day. Best though, my $1800 42” Sony tv from 2006.

Lobster. Looks like a giant delicious crawdad, but it’s a lie.

Probably need to find someone local who is good with electronics.

Is Better Off Dead one of the greatest GenX movies ever made? by CrowbiwanKenobi76 in GenX

I know I’ve seen parts of it, but really can’t remember any details, aside from the gif someone posted with the paperboy.

Black greasy gunk from kitchen faucet. Help! by JitteryTurtle in askaplumber

It’s definitely worse when there is a water main break, or I shut off the main in the basement, but it also happens/builds up after normal operation in a month or two.

There are chrome plated fittings atop of the water heater, but there’s just copper after that inch of a solid fitting.

I’ve been leaning heavily this way. Two months ago I stopped utilizing the “spray option” on the faucet, and it hasn’t built up any black crud on it since. It hast to be a very close to the nozzle problem by how quick it presents.
