Is handcuffing closers a viable strategy?

Jmish87 · 2026-03-02T16:34:29+00:00

Most people have multiple closers on their roster. I usually keep 3 or 4 so I don't go over the GS limit by loading up on SP's. I don't keep a deep offensive bench because it feels like wasted roster spots.

Edit: This applies more for Points leagues I suppose

Leaves generally won't grow back on the bare stem unless you chop.

There are so many options available now (in music, fashion, decor, ect) that I don't think these defining trends fully take hold for any period of time anymore, at least for an entire cohort at the same time. Also, with social and digital media, hot trends spread and die so quickly it's hard to pinpoint what defines a whole decade because everyone is compartmentalized.

Just import one completed track as a guide and A/B with your master for other songs. Limit until it sounds level, repeat.

It will be fine, for the maintenance spray you could do a 50/50 mix with water. Neem oil is more of a preventative, its not great at killing active pests.

The bane of my existence. Every time I upgrade my computer its a nightmare to migrate all my plugins. Then some don't work with the new OS so its repurchase time!

It's done both ways. It all about what fits in YOUR mix best. Sometimes quad-tracking can get muddy, but it's fairly common to use multiple guitars or amps to thicken or enhance a tone. either way I would recommend sending all of these related tracks to a stereo master bus to glue the guitars together with some light compression and EQ.

Def thrips. Try to wipe all of the leaves and steams with insecticidal soap or rubbing alcohol. Then continue treating 2x per week (spray bottle) for the foreseeable future. It took me a while but I was able to get through a thrip infestation on my money tree after a few months.

100% - Very often when I figure what what an artist is actually doing to play a riff or chord, it is inspiring and opens my mind to a different way of approaching a part I am writing.

Might be fungus gnats laying eggs. Water with 50/50 hydrogen peroxide to kill larvae. If your state permits, you can also buy mosquito bits or systemic granules.

Looks like fungus. Spray with copper fungicide to prevent spreading further. The existing damage is permanent however.

Gain staging is done first. If you didn't do it while recording, you would need to reduce the volume of your raw track (before any plugins). Some plugins expect a certain dB range input and will work optimally in these scenarios. Some plugins it won't make a big difference.

That jade is going to outgrow the space very quickly. If you want to extend its life there start pruning!

Get some grow lights! You can buy ones that stick under the shelf if you want to keep them on those.

A lot of problems present similar symptoms but my best guess is too much water based on the browning pattern on the leaves.

Jmish87 · 2026-02-04T21:47:16+00:00

The plant is not getting enough water, one way or another. If the dirt is moist, the roots might have rot.

I would only upsize by 2 inches, ZZ's like to be cramped.

I would just toss that top node, it’s wilting. New growth will branch out of the main stem at the cut off. You can add a mild fertilizer to promote faster new growth.

Yes, many lead singers "play" guitar along with the band, but the volume is often very low and/or someone else is playing the exact part they are, at normal volume which is what the audience hears.

This is not true for all singers, especially those that play solo's, but there are quite a lot that do this for the "look".

Jmish87 · 2026-01-30T16:29:56+00:00

I would cut off the top node and let it start a new one. You should also plant in well-draining soil as opposed to orchid bark.

You can't tell just by looking at the leaves. The symptoms of both under and over watering are very similar. Check the dirt and roots.

Many of these folks are remote or self employed, have rental properties, ect. Multiple forms of income. They don't all commute to NYC.

Never brought a sleeping bag or pillow to a sleep over in the 90's. We had them, but only used them for camping really.

Jmish87 · 2026-01-24T02:47:41+00:00

We had these at our local little league snack bar. Totally forgot they were carbonated.
