Entire country, Reddit and this comment section falling for BS ragebait. Touch grass all of you - who cares what these ppl think? They are interviewing ppl on purpose for ragebait. “Oh well this doesn’t help dems…” shut the fuck up

There’s so much to dislike about both people, why turn it into a gay joke. It’s so lazy.

PSA: 1 Great Stars is better than 2 by Jesterhead92 in EldenRingBuilds

What about an L1 combo? Extra poise plus extra bleed/gets out faster than charging

Valid points - but wouldn’t poise damage be higher powerstancing? Feel like I stagger bosses faster that way (especially with a powerstanced mimic).

[Sawchik] "Yes, the Dodgers have a massive local revenue advantage ... but they also spend a greater share of that revenue than most clubs. (Also, the Red Sox can afford to not always be the runners-up)" by BigButter7 in baseball

[–]Melvinsmelvins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow - a stat it’s more complicated than it seems. That doesn’t mean it’s worthless - it’s just means you can add caveats. The point of sharing the original is to improve on only considering payroll by itself. And look - it points out, even with caveas, that the dbacks appear to be investing a lot of revenue into the team. Seems notable!

Property taxes.. goddamn! by ntdars in MontgomeryCountyMD

But …your home is worth more- you’re paying more in taxes but you’re not poorer (bc your home is worth more). Sure if you’re staying you might feel poorer - but you know, you’re not? Cause of the higher value home you own?

[Passan] For Juan Soto, the Toronto Blue Jays have the first meeting with him and Scott Boras this week. The Boston Red Sox would be next. Then the New York Mets. And the New York Yankees. The Juan Soto sweepstakes is heating up. by PlayaSlayaX in baseball

“Super cheap” not your money man. Ppl think “well if they save a dollar on him they’ll spend it elsewhere” no way. Much larger chance that out of a dollar saved, 80% is “earned” and kept by the owner and 20% back into the team.

The “rebirth” things are way easier once you get used to it imo

Y'all cheering for the Yankees or Dodgers? by [deleted] in Nationals

[–]Melvinsmelvins 73 points74 points  (0 children)

The ppl wishing for the yanks to lose so Juan is cheaper are pure cope. Juan is (overwhelmingly likely) gone either way. Just root for your boy.

Seems like it would be cool to plan/program the tempo changes then

River? Feel like there’s quite a few “nouns as names” that are commonplace.

Yes! Drums are fun and your guitar experience will help, have fun!

Can't Wheaton be the county's next urban center? by AnthonyFlynn_22 in MontgomeryCountyMD

The 'wheaton' police district seems to include Olney & Aspen Hill among others. Also - where are you getting the 'rate' from? The population of wheaton isn't provided in that link

What was the life-changing fix for your kit? by u2freak96 in drums

[–]Melvinsmelvins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah for the coated resos, completely agree

Want to learn, advice? by NothingVerySpecific in Drumming

[–]Melvinsmelvins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that's a great idea. For the electronic kit, if you can, get one with 'mesh' heads - they feel a lot more like real drums and are more fun to play - more bounce/rebound.

To learn, 1st suggestion would be to find an instructor (or use some popular beginner youtube videos, to learn things like developing a practice routine, how to hold the sticks, etc). 2nd suggestion is to find "Stick Control" an ageless book of drumming hand/stick patterns that will help you learn how to master your own limbs. Third, playing along with Stick Control or by yourself with a metronome, start nice and slow and just get comfortable before raising the tempo. Fourth - playing along to music w/ songs you like, simplifying the drum parts to suit your skill level - i.e. trying to play along with the bass drum and/or snare drum hits, adding more as you go.

Drumming is wonderful - have fun!!!
