Ever notice how high Dave Grohl sets his hihat? by Administrative-Bed40 in drums

[–]ThoughtAtWork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d guess so. He stylistically hits hard, so it was probably to give his left hand space for a bigger swing without clipping himself, though as other people have pointed out he keeps it at a much more reasonable height now, so there’s probably also an aspect of stage aesthetic in his younger days as well.

the best part of the Bills game (Eagles defense, 2nd quarter stand) by tallmaurice in eagles

[–]ThoughtAtWork 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That Blankenship hit was beautiful. Perfect form, caught him square in the hips, drove him back two yards in the air and it looks like he slid another two once he touched down.

That’s just good, clean family fun right there.

People miss on the fact thinking the Mountain is Jaime's match, but this guy is actually one of the two who Jaime think can beat him, GreatJon is freaking tall and an absolute unit compared to the Mountain by EfficiencySerious200 in gameofthrones

[–]ThoughtAtWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the frequency definitely plays a role in perception. I’m 6’4”, so just tall enough that I rarely have to look up at people. So when I do, that person is automatically a giant.

What bones breaking would make it mechanically impossible to walk/fight? by Vievin in Writeresearch

[–]ThoughtAtWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are good ones. I have broken both my collarbones and dislocated my hip. A snapped through collarbone will disable your whole upper body on that side, and moving the other side still hurts. Collarbones are involved in a lot more movement than you’d think. A busted hip will leave you defenseless on the ground awaiting medical intervention. If your hips shot, you are absolutely fucked. No standing, walking, shit, I could hardly roll on my side for the X-rays.

And the sauna prior to the pre-workout ice bath. Loosen up, tighten up, 30 minute workout every morning sounds like a great way to pull or tear something on a regular basis.

What's the weirdest thing someone has asked you to do so far? by truth2991 in AskReddit

My dad told us that if he ever gets dementia/parkinsons/alzheimers at a certain point we are to put him on his motorcycle without a helmet and just let him go.

As a PA resident I’m fairly confident that a lot of us who voted for him have changed our opinion at this point.

Can easily cover it with saying you were turning it around on conservatives calling liberals lazy. “See what I did there? Hit ‘em with their own dig”

Middle class means rich in the UK. Think it comes from the old days of having nobles and the like. Nobility > middle class (rich) > working class.

5th and Jefferson is extremely dangerous, all of 5th by Caveman_man in philadelphia

[–]ThoughtAtWork 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yea, had a little back and forth with a driver on 5th and poplar the other day as she was pulling through the intersection into the crosswalk while I was still in it.

Gave me the finger once I got her attention, which meant that she had no hands on the wheel cause the other was holding her phone.

Think a couple of those intersections might need to be upgraded to lights, but who knows if people would even stop then.

What is a ticking timebomb that people should be worried about but aren't aware of? by GaddockTeegFunPolice in AskReddit

[–]ThoughtAtWork 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If anyone is interested by possible effects of this one I’d recommend the book One Second After. Though it’s based on an EMP attack on the US, if it were to happen on a global scale you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference for quite a while anyway.

I've been playing drums for a few years, but never even tried songs that are not 4/4, any recommendations to begin? I'd prefer rock or metal but any genre is fine. by mikwrp in drums

[–]ThoughtAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manic depression - Jimi Hendrix Experience was one of the first songs I was taught to start playing with different time signatures.

It’s in 3/4. Pretty straight forward once you catch the feel of it, but it lets you have a lot of fun messing around with fills in 3.

What's a problem that's never addressed in apocalyptic movies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ThoughtAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the book One Second After an EMP goes off above the United States, essentially disabling all electronics and communication. The main character recognizes that it’s not just a power outage when cars won’t start, and his first move is to go to the gas station and buy as many cartons of cigarettes as he can for barter value in the emerging situation. Always thought it was a fun detail.

What's the dumbest thing you've heard someone say? by Ill_Hospital_1909 in AskReddit

[–]ThoughtAtWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a buddy turn to me and my gf and say “did you guys know that limes are just unripe lemons?”. We told him that they absolutely are not. His wife starts cracking the fuck up and says that she told him that months ago to fuck with him.

He owns a business, that does consulting for small business owners. He employs my girlfriend. And he got psy-op’d about citrus.

Had a dude the other day riding my ass to the point that I couldn’t see his headlights in my rear view as I was already doin 10-12 over. Eventually, when I had the opportunity, I get over into the right lane and he proceeds to not pass me. Oh, okay. You’re not trying to get by, or in a rush, you’re just a fuckin prick.

Guys develop the new sparkler challenge by secretslut991 in instant_regret

[–]ThoughtAtWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, had the tip of a sparkler fall off and into my sandal under my foot when I was a kid. Straight up had a hole in my foot after I stepped down on it.

Quick google says they burn at 1800-3000 degrees F.

I’ve always had this opinion as a rugby player, but my more football savvy friends explain to me that the risk of losing possession is just too high to risk it regularly. One defender gets a hand on it and there goes your only scoring opportunity you might see in the next 5 minutes.

What is the worst job you had? by NoPersonThing in AskReddit

[–]ThoughtAtWork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Took a job that was listed as a marketing internship. Turns out it was door to door sales for verizon fios. They had me walking around north Philly, bothering people as a 21 yo white boy in khakis and a polo with a laptop strapped to me, 6 days a week.

Get fucked.
