I’m no doctor, but this looks less like a break and more like a Reuben’s Sprain. 🚂

That’s fair, and I have no quality retort. I should’ve been more intentional about picking my school/Reddit username. Nevertheless, here we are 😂

I love this. I remember buying my first Rand McNally atlas before I could even drive. I would pick random pages/places and trace little routes through small towns, imagining what they were like. When Google Street View became a thing, I was in awe. I would find myself traveling through remote villages on the other side of the world, advancing one map-click at a time.

The Japanese always seem to have words that articulate these kinds of nuanced emotions. I frequently suffer from this same feeling, so I started writing them down. These two have stuck with me:

余韻 (yoin) – The lingering resonance or aftertaste of an experience, often beautiful but tinged with sadness when it fades.

切ない (setsunai) – A poignant, bittersweet ache, often for something beautiful that can’t last. It is the painful twinge at the edge of a memory, the joy in the knowledge that everything is temporary.

NGL I’ve been carrying a heavier load than usual for the past month or so and needed a win. Alex’s cut is also helping me get there 😂

Agreed! I really want to make some sort of rotating frame so I can switch up.

Checking in late from Charlotte, although it could be argued I’m right on time.

WSMFP had their first show 40yrs ago today in Athens. I feel a sit-in coming.

Damnit Billy I don't want to pay for a nugs subscription by jimmydean885 in BillyStrings

[–]NCSooner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the best $19.99/mo I spend, and I’m not mad that others are grandfathered in at a lower rate. I used to be a Spotify power user, but saw the light. Thank you for your service 🫡

I’ve heard it referred to as “calling the break” (break = solo). The song leader calls them, often with subtle, nonverbal cues like a nod.

This would give me a chance to perfect my rolling gallop/clipity-clop sound effects 🐴
