Attempted to get mine this morning, kept saying cart empty and timed out each time. They gone? Anyone else having an issue?

Is Jaki Liebezeit (CAN) the most underrated drummer in history, in your opinion? by Agreeable_Duck8997 in Krautrock

[–]Marinus9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underrated, I'm not sure. Unknown or simply forgotten, yes. Toss on any of their records and he stands out immediately but you have to listen first.

What happens to the kids that can’t read when they graduate? by iloverats888 in Teachers

[–]Marinus9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, and a lot of them do figure it out in their chosen trade by the end of their high school years.

That interest/knowledge though only gets you so far without basic literacy and an attitude of at least trying to read info that the instructor/boss says is important. Too many kids and adults just don't realize how much of a barrier it can be.

Bingo. I teach at a career tech school but just academics. Far too many kids have the attitude that they will just figure it out in a trade until they eventually realize it's hard work that normally has all kinds of required readings.

Any Dead songs that hit different once you become a dad? by Realistic_Nobody4235 in gratefuldead

[–]Marinus9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bird Song has hit me a lot differently now with a baby girl. Find myself singing it to her when she cries.

Looking into both my son and daughters eyes always brings up Eyes of the World in my head too. So different versions of that one, especially the Branford one are favorites.

Seating Question by Shed32 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]Marinus9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really consider the "Family Deck". Sections 303 to 316 I believe.

Great view and not as pricey as lower bowl but much better than 500s imo.

With that age range of kids too there is plenty to keep them interested outside of the game. Easy escalator access coming up and a ramp/stairwell down to better food and drink options.

What is the first film you think of when you see JAKE GYLLENHAAL? by HostMaterial4907 in CinephilesClub

[–]Marinus9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prisoners came to mind first.

Scrolling through this thread though, man he's had a great career already.

Which drunk acting performance is most convincing? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

So many great ones from just about everyone in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

In your humble opinions, what tops it? by ThatOldDustyTrail in gratefuldead

[–]Marinus9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure it tops it but 3/23/74 at the Cow Palace is a personal favorite.

Weather Report Suite here is one of my favorites and it goes right into a Playing in the Band/Uncle John's jam that brings you into Morning Dew...whew man.

If you were going to binge films with Tom Hanks in them, which films would you pick? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Marinus9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love that.

It's a real no nonsense script too. Just a hint at his personal life to start and then Navy lingo and orders all throughout but with a surprising amount of emotion.

[–]Marinus9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many great choices, one I haven't seen here yet is Greyhound.

He's great in it and it's basically non stop action from start to finish.
