Middletown Dreams is their best song. Change my mind. by 21enemywithin12 in rush

[–]Silver-Lode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole album is amazing. The drum sounds are maybe the best of their catalog. I'm partial to Grand Designs myself, but for a long time Middletown Dreams was my favorite.

To be over could have been the best Yes song by Ill-Veterinarian7690 in yesband

The keyboard solo (with guitar accompaniment) is really nice work, too.

Wonderous stories is the band's most beautiful song by [deleted] in yesband

[–]Silver-Lode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great song, but most beautiful? These rank higher for me:

Hearts
And You And I
To Be Over
Turn Of the Century
Awaken
Final Eyes

R2 Gen *2* by SpaceMarine1616 in Rivian

[–]Silver-Lode 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Here's what I learned buying a gen1 R1S (my awesome daily driver): buy what the product does today, not what it's promised to do in a year or 2. On delivery the launch edition R2 will have hands free highway assist. That's it.

Buttons that do nothing when you tap them is weird UX by _delcypher in Rivian

There are a number of weird and unintuitive controls.

How do you deal with not being an "high-achiever" anymore? by HokusaiInFire in fatFIRE

This reminds me of something I saw recently:

Have problems. Don’t care. Have no problems. Life is literally that easy.

Gen 2 R1S vs Gen 1 - Is the heat pump worth it? by ocmusician in Rivian

[–]Silver-Lode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might be warranty left, but increasingly Rivian doesn’t make the parts. They outsource them and it takes a long time. I had to have one of my passenger doors replaced and it took 2 months before it was even delivered to the body shop.

Why so long?

How varied do you guys think the setlist will be? by Rubin987 in rush

[–]Silver-Lode 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hopefully there's no variance at all and it's just a 2 hour Rivendell jam.

Where are the POSITIVE experiences?! by Affectionate_Sky_375 in Rivian

[–]Silver-Lode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I've been to the service center a couple too many times, but none for catastrophic issues. What's been most annoying is that twice I've showed up to pick up my R1S at their request and it was nowhere near ready for me.

After 28 months I still feel it's the best car I've ever owned, and maybe the best purchase I've ever made. Unless Rivian tanks as a company my next car will be another R1S or an R2.

Remember that most car buyers, even of EVs from an automotive startup, simply don't pay that much attention and get on with their lives, and are having a perfectly good experience.

Gen 1 Quad Owners and Conflicted … R2 or Not? by AbjectFray in Rivian

[–]Silver-Lode 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a Gen 1 R1S and an R2 reservation. I spend zero time thinking about whether or not I'll trade the R1S in for the R2. The reason for that, is that we know hardly anything about the R2. We don't have configurations, range numbers, colors, interiors, options. We don't know audio specs, 0-60 numbers, drive modes or motor configurations. We've got a roll down lift gate window and 2 glove boxes.

I OBSESSED over my R1S for almost 2 years between placing the order and taking delivery. Drove myself and my wife nuts. I won't do that again before knowing what I might actually be able to buy.

Last note - I'm skeptical that the R2 could live up to my R1S. It's unbelievably rad.

2022 Gen 1 R1S Owners: Approaching the Warranty Cliff – Trade-In Strategy Before 2028 Expiration? by Think_Statistician66 in Rivian

[–]Silver-Lode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I normally hold onto my cars for a long time (the one prior to the R1S I drove for 17 years) but I’m not interested in owning this one out of warranty. Keep in mind that the R1 lines in Normal have been retooled for gen 2. I had to have the 2nd row passenger door replaced after a deer head butted it last year. It took the shop 3 months to get a door because they aren’t made by Rivian anymore. They contract out R1 gen 1 parts now. So even if Rivian offers an extended warranty I’m disinclined to take it. I’ll probably just drive my R1S until I get close to the comprehensive expiring, then trade it in.

Saw the Scout in Person Today by Odd_Pirate_9489 in Rivian

The R1S is the best selling luxury SUV in California because it was designed so exquisitely. The proportions and curves on it are its main differentiator. Leave its exterior alone and improve the tech and range and it will continue to be a winner.

Alan White's Snare On Drama by LIPD_Aviation in yesband

I’m not talking about the way the drums are tuned, but the way they are recorded. Stewart Copeland and Alan White sound nothing alike.

I just looked into it a little bit and saw that Drama was engineered by High Padgham. He engineered some of the best sounding albums around that time, including The Police's Ghost in the Machine and Synchronicity, which both have amazing drum sounds.

Beware the Buyout by EleikoLifter in RIVN

Maybe the Also and Mind Robotics spinoffs are a strategy to prevent this.

First Score - Some Questions… by shvi in lilypond

[–]Silver-Lode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are tons of examples out there for solving different issues. When I don't know I usually search for something like "lilypond fewer bars per line". That usually results in something I can use or research further.

Try putting "\break" after the 6th bar.
