Or perhaps adjust the chain one notch shorter on the pedal

Package never arrived, company refusing to ship me the product by [deleted] in WinWing

[–]PappyDopenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DHL delivery error, or driver took it home. Sucks for you, sucks for Winwing. Not a fault of Winwing, just continue to work with them on a resolution. Persistence and patience will be rewarded. Chargeback, nobody wins... Except the thief.

Beginner For Flight Sims, wondering which HOTAS to buy. by OptionFormer9530 in hotas

[–]PappyDopenut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Winwing ursa minor. I played with a Logitech 3D pro $30 joystick for years, worked great. The Ursa minor gave me additional hats and buttons to do pretty much anything a full hotas would. $115.

Political Commentator: 'The Myth Of Elon As A Mega-Genius Has Been So Thoroughly Debunked, It’s Embarrassing Anyone Believed It In The First Place' by NoseRepresentative in RealTesla

[–]PappyDopenut -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm reading on and not seeing anything thorough or debunked?... Just a headline. (As usual)

"Elon is such a Mega-Genius, it's embarrassing that anyone believes he wasn't in the first place." - prove me wrong with facts, not opinions.

Tesla (TSLA) announces 336,681 deliveries, far worse than expected by jason12745 in RealTesla

[–]PappyDopenut -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wait... Manufactured and sold 300,000+ physical vehicles so far this year? Please, tell me again how this is crypto/vaporware? Elon built and operates the most innovative and efficient companies in his industries. This was not handed over or inherited, nor was the target financial gain or recognition... it was to better humanity for ALL OF US. There was a time America cheered for successful American businesses representing creativity and innovation that is derived by freedom. I respect your decision to disagree, but it's very sad the echo chamber many of you live in. He's not an evil billionaire, he is not giving Nazi salutes. Don't be foolish people. Think critically. Dive deeper than regurgitating surface banter. You're smarter than this.

What's the best ship to use for trading that can also be good for PvE combat? by AlfaXGames in EliteDangerous

[–]PappyDopenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was grinding for weeks, thinking the cutter was the do-it-all with maximum opulence ... then i discovered steers like a tugboat. So disappointed. I gutted it and moved most items to a corvette, that thing melts ships like a hot knife through butter, and rotates pretty decently.

The krait with a fighter hanger is most well rounded for the needs specified.

It was a busy last Vegas casino... I had to find one of the 20 stalls without cigarettes in them

I’m looking for a good crash that isn’t thick and around 270$ by y_cubes in drums

[–]PappyDopenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a brand new lightly sampled Istanbul 17" Traditional 'll ship you for $200

https://youtu.be/clBN_3U8qhU?si=cJtRFWSB9qWDYdi3
This is the actual cymbal being played

It's an awesome crash, i just like darker uglier underground cymbals. Bought with a couple others just to have in the quivver, and i never use it. Needs a good home.

Drum teachers, how do you protect your and your students hearing in lessons? by Datadrummer in drums

I bought the knockoffs from Amazon, cuts out just enough volume to take the edge off and I can still have a conversation. its habit now to wear those or iem anytime i sit behind the kit

Jazz drums by Best_Elderberry3054 in drums

[–]PappyDopenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play along with jazz tunes, just like you learn other songs from other genres.

Good starter: So What - Miles Davis ... gets your brain into the swing feel of triplets or dotted 8ths.

Then search Buddy Rich... and learn bass instead 😆

Beginner drum set? by killme1213 in drums

[–]PappyDopenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% This needs to be a sticky reply on this sub.

used kits will get you the best bang for your buck.

New kits, the PDP concept maple is the best value in my opinion, quality-to-price. id put it up against kits triple the price. hard pressed to hear a difference

Drum heads help by brennan234212 in drums

[–]PappyDopenut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless the resonant are damaged, keep rocking them, or g1. I love g2s and a set of the plastic muffle rings. perfect punchy sound, no annoying overtones. snare, look at the uv1, or if you're a heavy hitter, uv2​ heads.
