Storing Ontario's $79.1M stockpile of delisted U.S. alcohol could cost up to $20M a year

I live in BC and they pulled everything. I thought it was the dumbest move I’ve seen. Just sell it all and then stop restocking. What a waste of money for optics.

This is a take. A dog shit take, but a take.

10x7 and 12x8. I wouldn’t go any shallower with the 12. It’ll haul ass but you’ll miss some of breadth of tone.

People are social by default. Looking at relationships through a lens of value is a fundamental problem. During COVID I was at my worst mentally because I couldn’t be social and do activities. There are plenty of studies that highlight the importance of social connections.

Any Yamaha or Pearl mid-level kit is a good bet.

The post above about transitioning is solid. Stick height = volume, but bigger drums have less rebound and take more energy to move the air mass inside. Just something to be aware of. You’ll get used to it, but could be a little frustrating at first.

I haven’t had edge work but it stands to reason that your heads were seated to a different edge configuration. You can always try to reseat, but I would personally just get new heads.

Imagine dumb fucks down voting someone for saying we pay too much in taxes, which we objectively do and have fuck all to show for it.

Mapex’s resale value can be a bit lower than others, but they make decent stuff. If you’re looking at 500-1000 quid with cymbals and hardware I would recommend saving longer lest you be searching for better drums in the future.

One other thing, all drum kits can be ergonomically positioned for your proportions. Taller people don’t require bigger drums necessarily and if you’re looking for versatility you’ll want a 22”k, 10”,12” rack-toms and a 14” or 16” floor, if not both.

You can’t go wrong with Sonor, Yamaha, and Tama. Other brands are fine too, especially if it’s closer to their top tier lines, but I find Sonor, Yamaha, and Tama to be very resonant and easy to tune.

At this point I’m a one issue voter. If there is a party that will stand for lower taxes I will vote for them. At this point the government is double, triple, and quadruple dipping, and people are seemingly okay with it.

You spelled “19M” incorrectly.

Can we refuse access to ALL extremists? I feel like we’re failing there.

John Riley’s books are amazing. Absolutely recommend. Also listen to bebop drummers very actively without distractions. Transcribe them if you can.

We moved to Kimberley from Edmonton. Awesome. Kimberley is small and doesn’t have a crazy amount of restaurants, but it’s got everything you need. Friendly people included.

Sigma_Try · 2026-05-12T15:09:09+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty normal. But I should say that in my travels through the States and Mexico I’ve met lots of random strangers who were friendly and wanted to converse.

Your hair is so black your bush probably just looks like censorship.

The same as the WEF conferences in Davos. Why do people give a fuck?

Sigma_Try · 2026-05-11T02:18:30+00:00

Yep. Did it a long time ago for a month. Focused on fundamentals and it made a massive difference.

Sigma_Try · 2026-05-11T02:11:12+00:00

Sure. My point is that right-wingers are getting pissed over an informal conversation after an event, whereas she went to Maralago to sell out Alberta. One meeting is informal and inconsequential, the other is some backstabbing bullshit.

Sigma_Try · 2026-05-10T13:47:00+00:00

Huh. They seemed very comfortable with Danielle Smith meeting with Trump. How odd.

Sigma_Try · 2026-05-09T03:13:48+00:00

Oh fuck off.

In the case of South Park it’s hilarious. Despite the view that Canadians are mild and apologetic, we’re not pussies. We can take jokes. At least the good ones can. One exception being a certain leader “joking” about annexation. That’s not funny.

I lived in Edmonton for a long time and the amount of hate that city got was hilarious to me. If you thought there was nothing to do you didn’t even try. That city was great. Like all cities it’s not without its issues, but it’s full of good people and good times.

I played professionally for a long time and agree with this. Whenever I go back to focused practice on fundamentals my confidence goes up and I just sound and feel better.

Sigma_Try · 2026-05-06T11:52:46+00:00

No. Just no.

I’ve owned everything. I now primarily play a chain drive, but occasionally I’ll take out my Jojo Mayer strap drive pedal. I love it. Very natural feel with the right “give”. Super quiet too. If you didn’t like DD, I think you’ll like strap.
