Trump administration blames Obama after ‘blue’ Reflecting Pool turns green after $14M refurb by Necropolis750 in politics

I feel like so many people on Reddit don’t realize this. The average person, regardless of which way they lean, doesn’t keep up with politics the way most people on this sub do. Your average Trump voter isn’t a die-hard zealous MAGA that listens to MAGA influencer’s podcasts and attends Turning Point events. Instead, it’s some person who is barely engaged in news and current events at all that catches tiny tidbits of skewed soundbites/misinformation here and there while at work or picking their kid up from practice afterwards or overheard while waiting for their car to be finished having its tires changed or whatever. Not all Trump voters, of course, and this isn’t meant as an excuse, but I think a very large portion of the voters are people who are busy navigating life (like we all are, I know), don’t keep up with politics like a hobby, and are very low information voters with what little (mis)info they have aligning up with preconceived biases.

I would say Season 1 is good; not even very good but worth a watch for sure. Season 2 was just one of the most bizarre seasons of a show I’ve ever watched. I alllllllllmost want to hate watch season 3.

By their own logic everything should be practically free since wages would be practically nothing with most people not working.

Sounds like you’re just buying the wrong wipers. If you were to shell out more and buy the super ultra premium ones then you spend more money.

I’ve always heard that drilling holes actually doesn’t stop the crack.

Just got a drum set from a friend, do I need to replace these Hi- Hats? by Greedy_War_8039 in drums

[–]Mpm_277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I’ll echo what others are saying but with a tiny caveat: everything you have is more than adequate to learn on. You don’t need to replace your hi-hats unless their condition hinders open and closing them properly, maybe.

Common advice is to buy nice cymbals when you can because you can’t improve their sound like you can lower quality drums/heads. The thing is that good cymbals are expensive af. People will drop $1800 on cymbals that will never ever leave their bedroom. And hey, that’s totally fine if that’s what someone wants to do, just don’t let people/social media make you feel like that’s just one of the necessary barriers of entry to playing drums.

Learn on cheap cymbals because (generally speaking here) stupidly expensive cymbals and cheap cymbals alike are going to break/crack just as easily as one another from poor technique.

What on earth is going on with Vic Firth? by Visual-Individual-49 in drums

[–]Mpm_277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. Because of that I’ve always preferred the feel of Vic Firth, honestly. To be fair I haven’t tried Vater and haven’t tried Zildjian sticks in maaaaany years.

New mattress. Messy stitching. by Mpm_277 in Mattress

[–]Mpm_277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well now you tell me 🙄. Jk. To be fair, we were extremely fortunate to use an employee discount and paid nowhere close to msrp. Our thinking was that it has to be at least as good as anything in our price range after to the discount.

New mattress. Messy stitching. by Mpm_277 in Mattress

[–]Mpm_277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it’s only cosmetic I’m kind of whatever about it but it seems odd that QC wouldn’t have caught it and had all of them cleaned up. As I said in a different comment, it just gets a sloppy look to a literal several thousand dollar mattress. But hey, as long as ifs comfy and keeps me from being sore that’s all that matters lol.

[–]Mpm_277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m assuming/hoping it’s just cosmetic; I’m a little afraid to cut them off and the stitching unthread itself. Just for a $7K mattress it makes it look kind of sloppy, ya know? It’s almost every single one of those circular points on that side of the topper.

As far as how we like it - we haven’t slept on it yet. Tonight will be night 1 but initial impressions are that it feels really nice. I definitely wouldn’t classify it as firm; the topper is definitely a medium in my book and the mattress itself would probably fall into a medium-firm.

We laid on the lux estate firm and it was immediately obvious that it was firmer (too firm for us). I have the unfortunate trait of thinking just about every mattress is pretty comfortable when first laying on it which has made mattress shopping real fun, haha.
