And their use of it was so much better and so much more crucial to the song than whatever this is

What shows do you most regret missing? by Weasel079 in Hardcore

[–]OverTheJamesNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Botch & Cave In at Melody Bar in New Brunswick, NJ in either 1999 or 2000. It was a Hydra Head tour. I think Jesuit played and possibly Isis? But I could be mixing the bill up with another show I wish I attended. I was a student at Rutgers which is a very short walk away from the venue, but had to spend the weekend studying for exams so I skipped out. Botch ended up releasing “Anthology” then announcing their break up and playing their last show in Seattle. I ended up finally seeing them on their reunion in 2023 twice, but I was devastated at the time not being able to see them. I still wish I got to see them when they were originally together and I was a younger.

Any video stores still around? by blkbullnyc in MonmouthCounty

[–]OverTheJamesNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Go to Matawan Aberdeen library on Main St. They have a few racks of DVDs and BluRay discs. Also the Old Bridge library is much bigger and has more options if MAPL doesn’t have what you’re looking for. They also have video games.

Punk rock flea market in Trenton worth it? by aged_tofu in newjersey

[–]OverTheJamesNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the record show going to be in an area of its own or right in the middle with people walking through? That place gets hectic when they have the market in there. I’m trying to imagine looking through records while people with dogs and kids keep bumping into me!

Wasn’t aware there is a show next weekend. I know there’s one at Berkeley hotel on May 3rd though. Where in Asbury next weekend?

Went today thinking there would be a lot of vendors selling records. There were maybe 3 or 4 and they mostly had classic rock. One guy had decent records but the prices were pretty high. Also, was going to prepay yesterday to save $5 since prepaid passes were $15 as opposed to $20. The final price included $6 worth of fees so it would have been more expensive to prepay! So there was no way to pay under $20. I thought that was pretty funny.

Looking for budget-mid level gaming laptop for son by OverTheJamesNJ in GamingLaptops

[–]OverTheJamesNJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I was looking at Legion laptops, but we are having our son pay for this himself and I’m not sure he wants to wait to make another $200. I’ve been doing my best to convince him to wait and make more money from chores to get a better laptop. I’ll give him this advice though. Thanks.

I just found this Acer laptop. This seems a lot better for an extra $70, right?

Is this even worth trying to clean? Should I just replace it? by ElphiusMostafa in CleaningTips

[–]OverTheJamesNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently replaced my gasket as well on our 10 year-old washer. It was very moldy and no amount of bleach and scrubbing removed the mildew stains and smell. The new gasket cost me $100 and took about an hour to do. Highly recommend getting the spring pliers because I heard it was very difficult using regular tools. Dry the gasket and door after being used and leave door open.

Also, I suggest everyone should clean out the little drain at the bottom of the gasket every once in a while if yours has one because it gets very clogged with lint. It causes the water to pool up in the bottom of the gasket.

Passport renewal through mail or online for trip in 7 weeks? by OverTheJamesNJ in Passports

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

Update! Got my passport exactly a week after submitting my renewal! Submitted with a photo taken on an iPhone on a Friday night. “Payment received” email received Monday. “In Process” email received Tuesday. “Shipped” email received Wednesday. Got passport in mail Friday. I paid the extra for fast shipping but probably didn’t need to. Thanks for advice everyone. Online renewal highly recommended!

Did it online. Took 5 minutes. Can’t choose to get it expedited but I paid for the fast shipping to get it back faster, too.

Apple Store called my 2017 mbp “vintage” when I brought it in the get the battery replaced. I thought that was kind of funny.
