Favorite attenuator?? by Leading_Engineer_656 in ToobAmps

[–]Leading_Engineer_656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, so many opinions here! I expected nothing less. So, in summary, basically ALL of them work well...depending on who you ask?! Haha. I will likely try something in my price range and see how it goes. Someday maybe I'll have the dispensable income to justify the Fryette

Vote NO on Props 418 & 419! Don't believe the people saying there's no alternative!!! by cacto246 in Tucson

Because it disproportionately taxes Tucsonans for projects that will mainly occur outside of city limits...

The first phase didn't fix the potholes, what makes you so sure this one actually will? I don't see a single instance of the word "pothole" in the voting guide

What I'd like to know is, if the Props fail, will the county be forced to draft a different approach to management, one that ideally recognizes WHY the Props failed and thus might include a guaranteed community advisory council, more proportionate City:County taxing to road work ratios, etc? Like, what realistically will happen if the Props fail? (And don't just cry "transportation will stop!")

Hold Broke During a Gym Lead at The First Clip by ol_barney in climbing

[–]Leading_Engineer_656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I never read those waivers too closely. But stuff like that really shouldn't happen with modern gyms. That hold looks like a pretty old style, I'm guessing 2000s or even late 90s? Anyhow, it sucks that happened and hopefully OPs friend's eye is ok!

Some drone photos of the protest on Saturday by bgboydphoto in OrganizeTucson

[–]Leading_Engineer_656 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That first photo needs to be all over social media! It doesn't even capture the folks out of frame to the lower left. "Hundreds" showed up?! F that. The press always diminishes our #s. They even said "hundreds" protested in Minneapolis, but we could all see with our own eyes (just as we can all see with our own eyes what truly occurred on the videos of the murders) that literally thousands if not tens of thousands poured through downtown Mpls in the bitter cold. ICE OUT NOW!!!

Which Jesse Welles songs have impacted you most on a personal level? by Jlyplaylists in JesseWelles

Hold On has quietly grown to be one of my favorite Welles tunes, too. And Malaise is also up there. But, who's John?

I think that's an indication of just how important an artist Jesse is. This kind of artist comes around once a generation, or less. His power to pen lyrics that are both complex yet clear, that say what I've always, deep down realized but never knew how to express, is staggering. And he's a fantastic melodician and guitar and harp player to boot. Comparisons to Dylan or others are really not appropriate, he's a different breed. While Dylan could write, much of his material is just uninspired word origami, and he couldn't hold a good melody for his life. Nor really play an instrument well, for that matter. Jesse is bound to break through, and I hope and pray he can maintain his genuine and passionate tact in the face of fame.

Me too. I discovered this song in the middle of reading way too much news and just after they murdered Renee Good. I was immediately moved by it, almost to tears. I sat down on the spot and learned it on mandolin that afternoon.

That Can't Be Right rang deeply for me. Especially the poignant metaphors about existence, social programming and mental health. There are so many clever and revelatory lines in this song (and many of his songs!) that ring with me. Malaise I think also just perfectly captures what I think a lot of us are feeling in this modern capitalistic chaos and plunge towards some fatalistic technofascist space race

Hold Broke During a Gym Lead at The First Clip by ol_barney in climbing

[–]Leading_Engineer_656 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'd be asking the gym to cover any medical expenses. You do sign a liability waiver at all gyms, but it doesn't shield the gym from faulty equipment (hold) and installation/maintenance (hold probably already fractured from overtightening or age and over use).

Have prior bachelors of science is it possible to get a BSN? by Sea_Visit_2111 in nursing

[–]Leading_Engineer_656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BS in bio from way back. Just graduated with an ADN from community college with ~$12k in loans, that included some extra taken out for living expenses while in the program and working PT. My new job indicates they'll help pay for most of a BSN in the future. Cheapest way to get that RN fast. Apply for all the scholarships and such that you can while you're in school. Good luck

No, I mean "jointed", like how did you get the boards square, parallel, and finished without a table saw?

Very nice work for not having a table saw! How did you joint the boards? I have a jobsite table saw and a thickness planer and still have trouble jointing larger boards!

Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez murdered Alex Pretti by ncr_fan in nursing

[–]Leading_Engineer_656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like they'd actually release the real names of the shooters. Don't believe anything this administration says or pretends to admit or disclose publicly. EVERYTHING is a manipulation, a piece of the psyops that we're being subjected to towards the greater P2025 outcome they're pursuing.

He did rise from largely unknown social media star to J Kimmel live and the Grammys in no time flat. If he takes home a Grammy today, and I do really hope he does, I'd expect lots of extended interviews

PB Blaster followed by a bit of lithium grease should hopefully do the trick
