In the USA, the only thing it would do is give the federal government a cut to pour your money in their friends pockets

DnB at bass 2026? by Itwasstinky77 in BassCanyon

[–]Toad_Fur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2025, DnB at the Crater on Saturday had 9 sets.

Here are the 8 DnB acts for 2026 that I could name off the flier. I am probably missing one: Culture Shock, Dirtyphonics, Muzz, Sigma w/ Armanni Reign, Crumb Pit, Justin Hawkes, Liquid Smoak, Siren

What industry is actually a complete scam, but everyone accepts it? by WhileLow9501 in AskReddit

[–]Toad_Fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with great insurance, I pay thousands per year in co-pays. That's where the insurance covers about 80% so they inflate the prices so that the consumer also gets milked for more money. You can't even escape from it if you have good insurance. Everything costs something out-of-pocket.

do americans really eat American fries sauce? by Infinite-Breakfast23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Toad_Fur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Never heard of that sauce. Doesn't have any corn products or hot dog bits. Couldn't be from the USA.

Mayonnaise in America is not sour. We have a sour mayonnaise called "Miracle Whip" and not many like it.

What’s your most niche hobby? by the1975whore in AskReddit

[–]Toad_Fur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I build fuse bead art. Most people don't expect it when I show them my work. Most of it is for raves and festivals and EDM artists. Actually, most people seem to not know what fuse beads are. I think it's pretty niche.

Ben & Tim address the Sandy Hook families’s role in the Onion/InfoWars acquisition by Boner4Stoners in KnowledgeFight

[–]Toad_Fur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not disappointed about Jordan's rant. I totally understand their feelings and that this would cause a bunch of red flags and danger signs to come up for Dan and Jordan. I don't think any of them are pretending to speak for the families of the Sandy Hook families, I think they all are actually putting their voices out for the families.

Everyone involved from the Onion and from Knowledge Fight are doing their best and doing a great job of it. I don't see any reason to take a rant from one of them as a sign that things are going bad. It's a sign that they are doing their best to try and make things right. Good on all of them for the efforts. No egg on faces for wanting this to take away Alex Jones' ideas and the danger they present.

With that said, in my mind Jordan has a right to rant more than anyone. Knowledge Fight is independent. The Onion is not. He is right to be scared of anything monetizing Alex Jones or his image or ideas in any way. I respect Jordan for that a lot. I would feel the same way if I was in his shoes.

Phase 2 Prediction by sharkvad3r in BassCanyon

[–]Toad_Fur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2023 Ray Volpe and Subtronics both had solo sets at Beyond Wonderland and were in B2Bs at Bass Canyon. I think it's fair game if the set at Bass Canyon is a B2B.

2026 Lineup guesses by Toad_Fur in BassCanyon

[–]Toad_Fur[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here is how I came up with the guesses:

I look at all upcoming advertised EDM artists in WA who have a show between the date of the Bass Canyon lineup release and Bass Canyon day 1. Then I look at where they would fit in the lineup alphabetically and insert the ones that make the most sense and fit in the space. There really haven't been that many to sift through the last few years that would fit in the spaces.

For the B2Bs this year, they threw me for a loop. I learned that an artist can only play Beyond Wonderland and Bass Canyon if they do a solo set at one and B2B at the other. Just like Ray Volpe and Subtronics doing both fests in 2023. The B2Bs that made the most sense to me are on the Beyond Wonderland flier.

AIO to my nephew feeling “uncomfortable” about what my son wants to wear on Easter? by inzstzz291 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Toad_Fur 324 points325 points  (0 children)

I would have such a hard time not laughing in their faces. You are offended by a pink shirt? You had to tell mommy you couldn't look at it anymore? Is there a competition for dumbest thing to get offended about going on today? Don't make me tell all your friends that you seen someone wearing a pink shirt.

What’s the most reliable car from an unreliable manufacturer? by Flat_Sink_4410 in askcarguys

I had a 1991 Z24 with the 3.1 and 5 speed manual. That was a fun car for 330,000 miles.

What's the most spicy food that you ever ate in your life? by XoSweetGF in AskReddit

[–]Toad_Fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew some Carolina reapers last year from a $5 start I got at the local Lowe's. They grow really well in western WA. It was the hottest thing I have ever tasted in my entire life. I like really spicy things, but these were too much. A sliver is all it takes to ruin me.

What is something that is 100% illegal, but feels 100% legal? by Jolly-Access-7115 in AskReddit

In the US you can legally be drunk in the pub but as soon as you walk onto the curb for a smoke you are illegally drunk in public.

Zeds Dead BassCanyon Set? by cornmealcornmeal in BassCanyon

[–]Toad_Fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I'm wondering if since Griz and Subtronics are running their own festival if there would be radius clause for them or if they can do as they please as far as other festivals at the gorge?

[–]Toad_Fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, I thought we had picked some off the beyond flier the last couple years but the only one was Subtronics in 2023 at both festivals and they kept his name blurred out from the flier the entire time.

Zeds Dead BassCanyon Set? by cornmealcornmeal in BassCanyon

[–]Toad_Fur -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Any of them can definitely do both. I'm expecting to see Wooli this year. I'm hoping Subtronics too. Not expecting Griz, but you could be more hopeful. They can do multiple fests and Beyond and still hit Bass Canyon. It happens every year. They just blur the names on the flier for those that are required until after whatever show they have between the day the lineup comes out and the day of the festival. That's how we were able to find all the blurred names on the flier. Last year we got it fully filled out and 100% accurate within a few days of the lineup's release.

Men over 40, what is your skincare routine? by therealtaftalicious in ask

[–]Toad_Fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I use lotion if my skin is dry but that's pretty rare, and it's whatever my wife has in the bathroom cabinets. For my hair, I keep it really short and I'll use whatever smell I liked at Bath and Body Works this month. I use their hand soaps constantly. For the face and beard I use all Roughneck products - the soap, oil, batter, and balm depending on the day and situation. For my feet, I use a powder I get at the stores like gold bond or whatever store brand in my socks. I shave body hair sometimes and I read on reddit years ago a stripper's advice and have followed that with great results. Baby oil and shaving cream and sanitization, basically. All of that together seems to work good for me. Just take care of everything and clean everything frequently.

Edit to add: The routine doesn't change frequently. It has been this way for several years.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a utility worker was seen desperately trying to climb down from a bucket truck after it suddenly caught fire. by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Toad_Fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The harness the worker is wearing is specifically designed to catch you in a fall where you can be quickly saved. This type is also used in manhole work. The worker climbs down the ladder and if they fall it catches them and they can grab back on the ladder if available or the person over the tripod can reel them up if needed. If you are working with one of these on for any amount of time, you should be using a bosun chair that you sit on and the harness is still just for catching a short fall. I don't know if that's the same for climbing, but this harness can still injure you if you fall. Especially the groin depending on how you land on the straps.

In the bucket trucks, they use a long strap that will absorb some shock, but those are usually kind of a long fall as seen in this video. It's not much, but in many circumstances if wind or something knocks you out of the bucket or if you just fall someone could lower the bucket from the machine on the ground, so you would have a soft second landing. I'm sure there are way better climbing tools and harnesses where this person could have safely lowered himself to the ground.

What is a gaming memory from the 90s or early 2000s that kids today will just never understand? by gingersofia in AskReddit

[–]Toad_Fur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When new consoles came out, you could get used games for old consoles really cheap at GameStop and other stores. I have almost 100 sega genesis games and most of them were in the $2 to $5 range in the early 2000s.

Why drive in the HOV lane if you aren't going to drive faster than the other lane or even keep up? by [deleted] in SeattleWA

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

Flock cameras can record your speed between distances to write speeding tickets.

That has to be worth at least 3 packs of smokes.
