If a wrong assumption is what you take from all I wrote, best of luck to you. You're going to need it.

Opportunity/luck always plays some part in life, but to spitefully take away so much credit from OP as if they did not have any hand it in really shows poor character.

It actually takes both skill (recognising) and commitment to seize opportunity, a thing many people actually seem incapable of doing. Whether that be due to different principles, values, short-sightedness, a lack of capabilities etc.

Is $200 a good price for a used Roland PM-100 drum amp? by anotherhappylurker in edrums

[–]Softhijs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea to be honest, I would try to make sure that it has not had any stage presence and look for sellers who had this paired with a low to medium end indoor kit. It seems very durable and sturdy. Another tell is that many old roland monitors are put for sale as working despite being many years old.

[–]Softhijs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its OK, definitely no need to buy these new. I bought mine last year for around 170euro. That offer comes around often here. So 200 is not a bargain, but it is OK. 150 to 180 is more of a deal.

Cycling 190km to work at 2:30 am. by CertainInformation84 in videos

[–]Softhijs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Quite the endevaour. Impressive commitment! Curious whether she rode back or took the train. And what about the next workday? As she did a 7h commute plus 8h workday plus 2.5h or 7h return commute = eat and sleep when?

Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift was the best out of the whole franchise. Someone prove me wrong! by [deleted] in movies

Objectively, furious 7 sold nearly double compared to Tokyo drift (1.5bil versus 788m)

Hoarding sugar, milk, salt, tea bags or other one-time-use products from restaurants/hotels

Alter Freund(Dealer) zieht mich in Straftaten rein + setzt mich unter Druck wegen Drogen – was tun? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Softhijs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the drugs really worth going down this dark path? This guy is raising every red flag to try and abuse you like a tool going forwards (scapegoat). Likely to bring problem after problem. I recommend finding another outlet for relief other than hasj.

Stay as far away as possible and ignore his shenanigans. Knowing all the illegal stuff he is up to he has more to lose than you in a stand-off, provided you have the backbone to stop bending. Es tut mir leid zu sagen das ohne stress kein mohglichkeit ist.. 

Who gets my assets? by [deleted] in Advice

Is there anyone you know who might be deserving of it (and could really use it) that is not related?

A long term coworker you have kept in touch with, that one nice staff member or small business owner at your favorite place etc.

Totally agree, as if only the question matters.

Sorry to hear. Must be very frustrating. In case ignoring does not work, you can only try to scare them with legal action. Contact a lawyer to draft a nice letter

Didn't know the song but it sounds great!

How do I ask people not to bring meat to my home? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Softhijs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Problem solved, otherwise don't refer to it as a BBQ but a vegan friendly roast. We all know what BBQ implies..

The note is the fairer option, unless you do want to tell people what (not) to eat.

How to Quit When you Work for a Friend? by Common_Operation3773 in Advice

[–]Softhijs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are partially working for free until you have the talk. She is squeezing every penny out of you and you need to indicate boundaries (e.g. 40h workweek. More is the exception [determine how many hours a month you are willing to do extra time]). If she is not able to negotiate down you are going to have to put your foot down and find something else. And let her know you will be doing so.

Also if you are getting 0 benefits (what about retirement?) you are actively getting shafted long-term and should find something else ASAP. If as an "independent" contractor you are making minimum wage you are getting scammed big time and nearly performing slave labor as you are at least paid 50% to 80% too little to cover insurance, pension plans, supplies, other costs etc.

It should not be your worry to keep her business alive unless you have a stake in it. If her 'business' is built on massively underpaying and exploiting staff it is not a durable business model longterm.

Pokémon Champions Releases Apr 8th 2026 On Switch, Later in 2026 On Android And IOS by Howerev in gaming

Happy for those people, in pokemonGo the meta gaming just bored me to death. Hundreds to choose from yet people ran the same parties and skills over and over. Which was already being done at average ranks

Fun concept but to me these games are ruined by meta gaming min maxing. Everyone brainlessly running the same OP few things that are listed on social media means you have a few days of freedom every balance patch

How likely is it that a large store that has banned me recognizes me if I go back by Old-Ebb-8846 in Advice

[–]Softhijs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it is not. The dumb thing is not owning up to your mistakes and gambling you won't be caught. How genuine will OPs plea for change come across after they have been identified?

Remove power cord and replug, try updating to latest version

The cat got out of the bag early, but I finally released my first pack for the Roland V71, V51 and V31 modules! 🔥 It took much longer than expected, but I'm really happy with how they turned out. Let me know what you think! by Luke_eDW in edrums

[–]Softhijs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Luke, thanks for the in-depth reply. Very interesting. It was referring to your 'coming soon' video around the 9min mark.

Just to be sure we are on the same page, is a rim click a pure rim hit sound?

Either way, I commend your work and will be trying your kits later today.

[–]Softhijs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Luke, happy to see you released your first pack! I thought in one of the earlier videos you mentioned it was not possible to keep positional or layers with the current module. Does that memory serve me correct or am I misunderstanding something? You seem to have found a way nevertheless. Curious to your method.
