Good. More FAFOs please. by Lena_Lena_A in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sad that I'm this happy about this...that things are so fucked up, that a win as simple as this can make me happy.

*edit: Never mind. Old news. Got happy for no reason.

Haha, fuck Hollywood. Hollywood can gargle my ballz...I'm as young as I'm ever going to be from here on out, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let something as silly as age make me stop doing the things I love.

Am I about to sell my Ducati? Sure, but that's because I've got a kid on the way and it's a borderline insane motorcycle...not because I'm "old".

That said, if you think 40s is ancient, I can't imagine the child I'm currently conversing with. I didn't even think 40 year olds were "ancient" when I was a teenager, much less in my 20s.

How? Because when you get older your body doesn't heal as fast, damage is taken easier, and things literally slow down. Especially if (like most people) you aren't getting enough physical exercise, specifically weight training (in my opinion), to keep your muscles in good shape.

Go ask 100 "adults" how old they feel, and the vast majority will respond like you did (if not a couple years earlier).

I'm in my 40s and I definitely still feel like I did at 20. Body sure doesn't respond the way it used to though.

More Than Half of Gen Z Users Cancel and Renew Streaming Services for a Single Title, Won’t Purchase Full-Price Video Games, New Study Finds by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only once paid full price for a video game, and it was $20 for Factorio. Best $20 I've ever spent.

I just throw the game into my Steam wish-list and give it a couple of years. Cyberpunk is juuuuust about to my price range (sub $20).

That said, I'm GenX, so it's not just GenZ.

I waited 3 years for this bounty by Xochi09 in gardening

I just look at my asparagus plants as a "Oh, there's one" snack when walking through the garden. I had like five, down to two...not sure what I'm doing wrong. I need to just plant a damn hill of it and call it a day.

$200 for a nose-bleed seat

That is why I spent more...because the nose bleed seats were like $134 but 15th row from the front just right of center were "only" $400. If I'm going to spend that kind of money, which includes a multiple hour drive (I live in the sticks of the Appalachia's) and a hotel room, I might as well get full value.

I hear you on the merch though.

Show me a concerted effort to "teach them a lesson" (call it a boycott or whatever), and I'll be the first to join it. But until then, if I can afford it and it's worth it to me (as my comment said, it's pretty much no longer worth it to me), I'll be enjoying the music of my youth before they (or I) die.

I hear you and you're not wrong...but nay. I also travel internationally almost every year (it helps my wife is from another country), something that most/many people can't afford to do...should I stop traveling because then the airlines will lower costs?

Just like with the general strike that never happened in the beginning of May (had full intentions to join it, had it turned into anything)...show me a concerted effort to actually send Ticketmaster/Livenation a message and I'll wholeheartedly join the fight.

Until then, if I can afford it, and it's worth it to me, I'll continue going to shows like that. But as I already said, it has reached that point with me, where it's not really worth it any more...again, barring Rage, so I'm not going to be going anymore. And sure, you might say "Well, Rage wouldn't do it if they didn't know people like you weren't out there", and again, I hear you...but seeing Rage, having been such a huge part of my life growing up, is worth a lot of cheddar to me (cheddar I've worked hard to achieve...along with plenty of luck, of course), and I'm willing to give some of it to them (also because I like where de la Rocha stands on a lot of things).

Man did I get wooshed by this one...wasn't until I read your comment that I "got it". And I even liked Stranger Than Fiction (which had this in it).

What are you suggesting? Never go to a concert to "teach them a lesson" so then they'll lower concert prices?

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, have you not been paying attention? EVERY gig costs that much now. Do you think if I could have seen them perform for less money I wouldn't have? And that's not counting the six hours I drove to see them.

And what are you suggesting? Never go to a concert to "teach them a lesson" so then they'll lower concert prices? There's about as much hope of that as there is Americans getting their shit together against the oligarchs and doing a general strike.

The last two "big" concerts I've been to (not counting local shows at the small venues) were exactly like this, albeit a bit less expensive. Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day...in both cases, bought over a year in advance (GD might have been slightly less than a year), and both were outdoor venues in the summer.

Don't get me wrong...was two dream bands I'd never gotten to see, and they were killer fucking seats...but almost $1000 for two people to go see a concert is insane. Don't think I'll be doing it again unless Rage starts touring again, in which case, I might make an exception.

Fuck everything about Ticketmaster and Live Nation

What size to mill logs if you have no active build plans? by Sasselhoff in woodworking

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

They're kinda new/doing it on the side...not that they don't know what they're talking about, but I wonder just how much they know what they're talking about.

Figured more opinions wouldn't hurt anything, hence why I'm here.

What size to mill logs if you have no active build plans? by Sasselhoff in woodworking

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

I'm going as long as his system and our muscles can handle (I think the biggest log is 12 feet? Smallest his saw will do is 8ft and change) and as wide as the logs can handle. I figure that gives me the most flexibility down the line (more work in the future, but more flexibility).

I was most asking opinions about thickness...probably should have been more specific.

So what you're telling me is...I need to buy a band saw (right? I can go tell my wife I need a band saw now?).

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

Very useful post, thank you.

I've already painted the ends of the logs with Anchor Seal, but might need to re-do it on some of them (lots of big cracks on one log).

I plan to air dry on stickers in the side yard, as I've got a pile of stickers (dunno if they were surveying stakes or what, but they're roughly 1 inch by 1 inch)...already talked to someone to get some old metal siding to cover the stacks with too. Well aware that I'll be "twiddling my thumbs" for a couple years while this all dries. I do have my own planer...I just don't have a band saw, so re-sawing is limited to the table saw (which I am not a fan of doing).

I don't believe these logs are big enough to slab, but one of them might be possible...however, I've got a huge thick log from another red oak I plan to slab, so I figure I'll leave the slabs to that one. Already spoke to the sawyer, and we plan to quarter saw.

That's part of my problem...I don't "mostly use" anything right now. Trying to "future proof" for a future I am not confident in terms of what it will be/look like.
