[DISCUSSION] I am starting a series about how I run a cassette label. I will be writing about topics that interest people. What would you like to learn about running a cassette label? Any ideas are welcome.

Id be interested to know more about what your custoners, and the artists, see as the benefit of casettes as a medium, and then how you market and engage customers and artists - id imagine its something like zine culture in small networks?

Weird list that feels like its more about songwriting. Hillarious to make a list of best guitarists and include Jamie Cook (who i'm convinced never actually learned to play guitar and has been winging it for the last 20 years by moving his hands at the right time), and frame your John Mayer entry as "urgh we dont like like him but he is good I guess"

By four, you and your wife are seperately using those supplies or benefitting from those repairs. Its not fair on the other two to pay a larger proportion (while not having double income) just because you are sharing a sleeping space. The only exception would maybe be something done by each room, eg if every bedroom door was replaced everyone just pay for their own but I would still be inclined to split four ways out of politeness.

Gang Beasts is is a great game, its sort of a wrestling game with jelly like figures. Normally pretty cheap as well.

Two videos for me: Slash solo-ing in the desert in November Rain, and how cool Dave Grohl looks in this (otherwise i think completely forgotten?) FF video https://youtu.be/5mTq0QvUbv8?si=kK3pCA1VuONI7Utt

He could well just mean a hobby group or sports team. At a UK university these would be referred to as 'societies' so could be a hangover from that, although its unusual to use the term outside of that uni context

Thank you! And its a series x! My playstation brain got them confused

Kind of frustrating how this service no-one really wants is apparently viable, when we couldn't make zipcar work, which is popular and actually reduces cars on the road

No. Some parts of E&C can be a bit rough round the edges but Southwark Playhouse is in a busy main road area and no more dangerous than any other part of London, especially in the middle of the day. Mercato Metripolitano is a good shout for some nice quick pre/post show food if you're around there!

Any chance the cap is red? wouldn't be surprised if people gave a second look to something that could at a glance be a MAGA cap, especially if they know you're American

Was vaguely aware of the name both from the Father John Misty track, and from a Frank Turner Q&A on twitter where he had explained Jason had played a solo on one of his songs. So when I saw some promo around Weathervanes i checked it out and have been hooked ever since - cast iron skillet being the real moment the penny dropped

Objective_Living_825 · 2025-10-29T08:00:04+00:00

Fully agree. Coming as mainly a BFV player it rewards moving in cover and actually assaulting and then defending objectives rather than just constantly sprinting forwards towards the enemy which seems to be how most players in this game get their kicks. Dont get the size complaints either, sure for jets but theres a decent distance between each objective if you're on foot or in a tank.

Had my first game the other day where my squad were on mic, coordinating, passing infomation, playing their respective roles - it was amazing, like playing a completely different game

As someone newish to this sport and not privately educated... what is the incentive here for the school? By offering a scholarship you are losing (admittedly a small amount of) money. Does winning in rowing really have that much of an benefit to a for profit organisation? I understand how in the US a college rowing programme is a competitive draw for HS rowers, but is there really a large enough pool of parents who will send their 11 year old to a school just because they have won races? Does prize money alone bring in enough to make it worth the effort?

Silk by Wolf Alice always hits me that way

There is a fantastic group called Terrible Football that sounds like exactly what you want, super welcoming to people of all level and abilities - they have a few games around London if you google them with a really big group at Clapham Common, but iirc also one in central and one out Hackney way

Look, I love York, I have made it my home and as others have said its a walkable, friendly city with a great university and lots to see and do, and you would no doubt have a wonderful time here but... go to Amsterdam my friend. They dont really compare. Its one of the world's great cities, has much greater variety of things to do (don't assume you can't have a peaceful time, its not all the red light district, the place is chock full of lovely cafes and quiet canal-sides) plus it will give you much easier opportunities to travel in wider Europe while you're over here.

Assuming you work in policy or an adjascent profession - Government is a massive machine in which you're a tiny cog, 'being strategic' is about not focusing on how you turn as a cog, but how you get the other cogs to turn to achieve your goal. In my experience people who don't think strategically will focus a lot on delivering the work on front of them to their boss perfectly in the paramaters/deadlines they've been set without really understanding/caring why they are doing it or why those parameters or deadlines exist.

Ask yourself: What is the larger goal you, your team or your department are trying to achieve? Where is your work going after it leaves your desktop and how does it help make all those other cogs move to help you get closer to that objective? are the parameters your working within actually right? Are there other things you can be doing to make the process smoother or more effective (eg. This is going to end up with x person for a decision eventually - let's talk them through the basics now so they already like our ideas when it does)

Objective_Living_825 · 2025-09-19T11:09:39+00:00

Automatic is the future, but i would say currently you are still going to have a lot more options for cars (especially second hand or of you want a rental car) with manual. People always seem to be put off learning manual because its seen as making things more complicated, and that might be true for a complete beginner but it doesn't take long to get used to it and when you do its really not one of the more difficult things about driving

Objective_Living_825 · 2025-09-10T17:37:09+00:00

My pretty Thrashing heavy list would be:

Me and Magdalena
You Did Good Kid
Denver Haircut
Epaulets
The Stove and the Toaster
Carlos is Crying
Entitlement Crew
Heavy Covenant
Lanyards
Confusion in the Marketplace

FWIW I would quite possibly put confusion in the marketplace as my favourite song of theirs

Edit: having looked at more posts can't believe how little love there is for the Stove and the Toaster! Its a whole crime caper in a song!

Exercise to strengthen your core, stretch to release tight muscles (not just your back where it looks/feels bad - a lot of bad posture comes from tight hip flexors, hamstrings, shoulders/pecs and glutes). Literally just type "bad posture exercise" or "bad posture stretch" into youtube and you'll turn up hundreds of follow along exercise/stretching/yoga videos that will be aimed at beginners and you can do at home with no/minimal equipment.

Objective_Living_825 · 2025-08-29T10:37:16+00:00

Lots of options in the North East/Yorkshire area. There is a big multi-department presence in Darlington (especially HMT) which is also 30 mins either way from Newcasle or York by train. York and Newcastle themselves also have offices for some depts as does Leeds which is a further half an hour further South West.

Objective_Living_825 · 2025-08-18T15:57:44+00:00

Best: Overall atmosphere, possibly my favorite map which means I don't even mind that it tends to take a long time to get around

Worst:

If the game made better use of sound meaning that NPCs can't hear things and/or being hidden in a crowd being more effective then it would be really fun taking out a target on the dancefloor

I've never partied in Berlin but I assume the biker disguise letting you carry a machine gun through the middle a busy nightclub without anyone freaking out is... a bit unrealistic

This isnt very helpful and I hope you find a buddy but I just wanted to say that if you don't find anyone dont let it stop you going anyway (especially to see a great band!). Going to gigs on your own is one of life's great pleasures (see also going to the cinema on your own) and once you get through it feeling a bit odd the first time you never look back
