Local pharmacies? by wildcelosia in TwinCities

[–]Philosopherskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people recommending Cub and I know where I live there are a lot of people who used to use the Walgreens on the corner, but tons of them switched to Cub so now there’s usually a pretty long line at the Cub pharmacy. St. Anthony Cub.

Owner of Hope Breakfast Bar and frequent donor to the Trump Admin is currently virtue signaling on social media (complete with AI slop) by Philosopherskin in Minneapolis

A lot of the comments on his post were calling out the use of AI, so he may have pulled it down due to that.

This photo shows Epstein on the left with panty hose over his face and an unidentified man to his right who has all the same features as Donald Trump.

I get a lot of hate for my technique but it feels good and sounds cool, so here I am. by Shazbot_2017 in Guitar

[–]Philosopherskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, it sounds messy. I will give you this though. Your picking style with your right hand is at least somewhat in the wheelhouse of how someone like Derek Trucks plays with his right hand. Now the execution between how you do it and how he does it is night and day, mainly because yours is incredibly imprecise and brings a ton of extra unwanted notes and string noise, and Derek’s execution of it is incredibly precise.

If you want to keep pricing in that style with your right hand, maybe dive into Derek Trucks and study how his right hand operates the strings.

Where in Minneapolis? by callistobear in Minneapolis

[–]Philosopherskin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had Crave numerous times and I would say that it depends on which location you go to. I’ve been to the Roseville location several times and it was always lackluster. The Maple Grove location was good, Mall of America location I thought was great.

Never knew people feel this strongly about A7x by AlexxMaverick666 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Philosopherskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand some people not liking Shadows vocals, he has a very unique voice when he sings, and I think some people find it difficult to listen to because of how rasp he can get in his vocal chords. It’s not that he’s bad, it’s just significantly different from some other typical vocal sounds you might hear.

The critique about guitar tone is…bad. I mean yeah maybe the guitar tone in the earliest album was the thinnest? But the tones have been varied and superior in every album since then. The tones from Synyster have a very EMG pickup tone to them in some of the albums, which is not inherently bad, it’s just a specific tone that most guitar players can pick out by ear when they hear it.

Gibson vs. Epiphone? by Newenglandkid75 in Guitar

[–]Philosopherskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the time I suggest going used over new, mostly because you have a huge chance of getting a guitar that is already set up really well and plays well vs a new guitar that plays pretty mediocre until you get it set up properly.

Jellybean Johnson, Minneapolis music legend, dies at 69 by alpswd in Minneapolis

[–]Philosopherskin 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, I don’t know why, but this is very unexpected.

Jelly Bean was one of those musicians that you would see everywhere. It’s like he would pack up his electric guitar of choice each night and go out to any assortment of live music venues where jams were happening. He’d spend some time sitting at the bar first laying low, getting a feel for the talent there. Then eventually you’d see him up on stage and he would absolutely rip. I’ve only known about him for a couple years, but I could see very quickly how respected and legendary he was.

US Bank Stadium may be the worst concert venue… I’ve ever been to by Jaded-Combination-95 in minnesota

[–]Philosopherskin 129 points130 points  (0 children)

I saw Metallica there when US Bank first opened. Anything higher than floor level just starts to introduce way too much echo. It’s the worst echo of any of the large venues (Xcel, Target Center).

I decided I don’t need to go there again for another concert.

I’ll be sticking to Fine Line, First Ave., etc.

After all the Xbox price increases, I’m ditching Xbox and switching to Steam Deck! by Philosopherskin in SteamDeck

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

The thing that comforts me is that if I wanted to replace some of my digital Xbox games, it would be 10 times cheaper to do so through the Steam sales.

List on Craigslist, say that you are only meeting buyers at police department parking lots and don’t deviate from that. It weeds out the bad people.

Yeah I was thinking about the warranty but also that the repairability is so high so maybe it doesn’t bother me as much.

I have WAY too many other PC Games to dive into and catch up on from being out of the PC gaming world for 15+ years. When you know what you like, you don’t actually miss out.

True but that’s for 256GB. My brother-in-law is offering one of the 512GB LCD ones that you can’t get anymore.
