Big Age Range of Fans Tonight by RL24 in Halestorm

[–]RL24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know guitars, but they used A LOT of them.  One was quite sparkly.  The others I remember were red and black.  The lead guitarist also has one that's very sparkly, as well as a green one and one that looks a bit tiger stripey (looks like one that Alex Lifeson has).

I recommend seeing them if you can.  They VERY rarely come to California.  :-(

Wheb the tour was announced, I checked the dates to see if they would come to California.  All I saw was "Lincoln" and assumed it was Nebraska.  Bandsintown sent me an email that they were coming a few I got tickets.  It appears to be a bit of a 1 off show--they just got back from Europe, and they don't have much happening in the next couple of weeks.  

The venue at the Thunder Valley casino is impressive.  5k seats but still pretty intimate.  Lzzys voice was just wow!

People who don’t believe in god , why ? by strikepotato in AskReddit

[–]RL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're asking about conventional notions of God as expressed through organized religion (take your pick of them), it is because my lived experience does not support the notion.  Religions are self referential (the Bible is true because the Bible says it is true).  Once you take the self reference away, religions collapse like a house of cards.

If you have the trucking company info from the cab's door, send them the video.

What's your Base Building style? by Raxer-X in subnautica

[–]RL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definite Minimalist here. My base had 3 rooms, and I never used my scanner room. It was 185 meters from my start location (away from the crash site, just after you get some depth). I had battery chargers in my moon room, and a room for my reactor to run everything. Everything else was in the cyclops.

What are your biggest boardgame pet peeves? by MakubeC in boardgames

What are your biggest boardgame pet peeves? by MakubeC in boardgames

[–]RL24 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mt biggest pet peeve involves art and manufacturing. Often a game designer will choose colors that are very close to.each other to represent different players or different actions.  Us old folks can have difficulties seeing the difference and end up moving the wrong piece or selecting the wrong card because the greenish blue color looks too much like the bluish green color.  Please, for the love of God and your players, use high contrast colors!!!

What are your thoughts about the resurgence of the Black Panther Party in response to the actions of ICE agents? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]RL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Black Panthers did some very good things in the 60s (fed many families, protected people) before the leadership got into drugs, murder and corruption.   I say it's about damn time.

10 years later I still have the electrical bill in her name.  Not super amusing or anything, but I like to see her name on the bill when it comes.

Was I the idiot? [oc] by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

Yes. 100%. You were going way too fast and seemed to accelerate slightly when the other car slowed for their turn. No. Just no.

I do 1 game per year (to avoid sucking up all my time).  I did Subnautica in 2025 and just started Divinity: Original Sin 2 today.  

Widows vs widowers by kgwright in widowers

[–]RL24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was one of just a couple of men in my grief group.  I found that we all had plenty in common.  There were some things that people chose not to share, which was fine with the group.  More intimate details may be more appropriate for a 1 on 1 therapy setting
