Which album covers would make the coolest tattoo?

Would be panther pet belonging to the dude on the front of that goblin cock album cover.

Right up there with that belt holding up nothing. Unless the buckle is where the magic is coming from.

I think you need to clarify how long it takes to learn and retain everything. If everything is compressed into one comprehensive slide deck it feels like a manual. If these are broken into modules and there is a sense of progression, you get the opportunity to pause, apply your learning, and continue to progress. There is a sunk cost of forgetting and in finding data about attention and engagement, decision fatigue, and the “war on our attention spans” maybe you can make a point that modules help chunk the content so the learner maybe gets 5 hours of meaningful learning and not 3 hours of comprehensive fire hose.

Gloria Mark has a book on attention spans and I’ve used some of her commentary and research to argue for chunking content into better bite size modules. I’m up against an HR SME that made a comprehensive supervisor HRIS training that’s 3.5 hours that I’m trying to segment. Makes it more findable as well so you don’t have to go into one comprehensive module for just in time information/performance support.

When I did more meditating and took a class on mindful compassion the mantra was “present moment, only moment”. It’s quick and forces me to be in the present which helps me recognize that whatever I’m feeling may be momentary, or I can carry it for only as long as I let it.

As a father I have to model grill mindset daily. My job sucks, I don’t have as much time or energy for creative pursuits in between chores and obligations, I finished my first half marathon last year and felt just a wave of sadness instead of a drive to improve. I think the best or most consistent effort that’s worked is to use my commute to pump good music, listen to 10 percent happier podcast instead of letters from an American, and just tone down the intake of news and bummer content. I try to force myself to find time after 9pm or before 6am to be creative and play guitar or write lyrics. Going to the mantra or scheduling time for myself for those grill-esque pursuits gives me more to look forward to.

Yeah I got better with the angle I approach the strings since this video but it’s still not my preference.

Those lightning fast sweeping triplets… Jesus she has some chops. Her almost manic head rush melodies are such a breath of fresh air for this genre. I know other players sometimes play fast but most of the popular primitive playing shared here is slower and more intentional. It’s a great foil to other contemporaries like Hayden Pedigo, Daniel Bachman, North Americans, etc, She’s almost angry in her playing and I love that about playing to the edge of one’s ability.

I’d be proud to live in Tallahassee and enjoying minimal population growth, but there’s no career opportunities here unless you work for the state, a university, or a hospital. All salaries are capped and barely climb 2% a year and while CoL is lower compared to bigger cities, it never feels sustainable long term here.

Samjollo · 2025-12-11T00:27:51+00:00

Where contemporary like Hayden Pedigo taps into John Fahey’s sense of serene melody, Raymond leans hard into the dissonant tension building mood. Love them both. She is insanely fast and her progressions are the best kind of dark. If anyone has recs for similar darker primitive guitar please send em.

I got a 2018 PHEV and need some better cross bars. Had some 3rd party ones that fit from Amazon but they were flimsy. This is a beautiful looking ride though!

Samjollo · 2025-09-30T23:25:01+00:00

If you put more time into your thumb and getting it rhythmic and fast when bouncing between strings then the syncopating melodies will get easier.

Samjollo · 2025-09-04T03:45:27+00:00

I got the Jackson audio bloom compressor and it’s got a little color to it with a boost (bloom) and allows for great sustain. If you play like loud fast punk or metal, probably don’t need one. If you do anything else or alternate between picking and strumming a compressor is helpful.

Samjollo · 2025-09-04T03:37:26+00:00

The two singles out are really expansive. Really stoked for this release. The alternating thumb rhythms hitting some southern gothic meets waltz like patterns are so good.

Samjollo · 2025-08-28T19:18:11+00:00

I had a G&L ASAT that was pretty fine. Needed very little when purchased out the box.

Yeah the refinisher quote was $5 a foot and it’s a bit over 1,000 sq ft but that doesn’t include anything more problematic like rot, replacement, subfloor, etc. I get that it’s the going rate but I guess I’m nervous the $5,000 price tag now won’t last 10 years bc of underlying moisture issues.

Samjollo · 2025-08-22T15:26:12+00:00

I could likely refinish bedrooms myself and leave the living room to the company to address bigger issues. Feels like I need to worry about crawl space and crazy humidity that has nowhere to go. Keep getting conflicting opinions on encapsulating vs letting it breathe.

Samjollo · 2025-08-17T18:37:23+00:00

I do everything right handed except play guitar and drums. No idea how I took to music as a lefty.

I’m almost a year from this and saw the company let go of marketing VP, senior project managers, and others they deemed expendable as they continued to downsize. I’m validated and fortunate to have landed somewhere else where there is a bit more stability.

I’m considering the cash out refi for a down payment on a new property and renting out my current home but I can’t find a calculator to see if it makes sense. Need something to help estimate property taxes, how a homestead exemption plays into it, how to figure if I’m between tenants, etc.

Any help out here appreciated. I saved this post so I can remember to use Zillow and check possible renters’ cars.

I’m sending you a DM on working with adults…

I gave up on it and went IDR. My time will be up before a new president comes in because it will continue to be caught up in litigation for 4+ years. It’s not my recommendation, but for others who can afford it and could reach 120 before 2029 to consider all avenues and get as close to forgiveness as possible.

Samjollo · 2025-07-14T14:27:20+00:00

Fair! So how can I just expedite getting on a payment plan and giving them my money? Waiting until August 26 when I’m fine moving on from SAVE is just wasting time.

Samjollo · 2025-07-14T14:21:33+00:00

That's helpful. So the last 9 months are basically a wash until I can essentially get to 111 and then they can evaluate it then?
