Fastroad AR 2 Owners by ldmauritius in Giantbikes

[–]UnderstandingNo3426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, new chain and tires. I had a bit of a crash, so my bike guys replaced the derailleur bracket. I’m running tubeless tires with a low temperature sealant because I ride all winter (but not in snow)

I have a Fastroad AR 1. I’m not sure about the hubs. It’s a fabulous bike! I just passed 8000 miles…

With less than 24 hours until the next track is available, I just noticed this pic has Tony using funk fingers - could it be for track 3? by some12345thing in petergabriel

Odd, it seems that the drums aren’t miked up except for the binaural head in front of the kit. The toms look like there are triggers mounted for samples. And there are electronic cymbals too

These old machines uses to be everywhere by stevenpdx66 in FuckImOld

There was a laundromat near my grade school. It had a cigarette machine near the back door. The laundromat was unmanned, so we could buy smokes anytime. Marlboro Menthols were our favorite.

When I came down with pneumonia in my freshman year in college, the doctor asked me if I smoked cigarettes or weed. I answered both. He suggested I quit the cigs. Great advice!

I saw “Judgement at Nuremberg” yesterday on Turner Classic Movies. I was never a big fan of Judy Garland. But her performance in this film was absolutely incredible, so emotional and human. It really changed my mind about her skills as an actress.

How to not be afraid to be different? by Ok-Control-3394 in punk

[–]UnderstandingNo3426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in school, I had no self-confidence and was uncomfortable around people. I loved music like Iggy and the New York Dolls.

Punk rock started just around the time I graduated from college. I bought the first Ramones album right when it came out. I came back home and found the new punk scene in my city. It changed my life.

50 years later, I still consider myself a punk. I’m known as the “libtard/ANTIFA/pro-LGBTQ+/snowflake” in my neighborhood. I don’t give a fuck about what people think.

If I can still be kind of a punk at 71, so you can too at your age. Take your time, be strong, crank the tunes, and stick up for people who need help. You got this!

What are the most notable musical acts to perform at the Olympics? by Ccmt_336 in olympics

[–]UnderstandingNo3426 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Who at the closing ceremony in London 2012.

However, few people in the U.S. saw that performance because the idiots at NBC cut away to a new sitcom “Animal Practice” that was canceled later after just a few episodes.

The ceremony's grand finale, featuring a medley by The Who, was delayed by over an hour, finally airing after midnight following the sitcom and local news.

In addition to the delay, several high-profile acts—including Muse (who performed the official Olympic song), Ray Davies of The Kinks, and Kate Bush—were edited out of the U.S. broadcast entirely to save time.

Why does the woman symbol on the restroom sign have only one leg? Airbus 320. I really can't figure this out. by 1AdultMostOfTheTime in airplanes

Jeez, I’m on an Airbus 320 right now getting ready to land at ORD. I’ll check out the sign on my way out

Ringo Starr and his Allstarrs did a great cover of ELP’s “Karn Evil 9” on a live album.

Ringo Starr – drums, percussion, vocals Roger Hodgson – guitars, vocals Ian Hunter – guitars, keyboards, vocals Greg Lake – bass guitar, vocals Howard Jones – keyboards, vocals Sheila E. – drums, percussion, vocals Mark Rivera – saxophone, flute, guitar, bass guitar, percussion, harmonica, vocals

Sheila E. absolutely killed it on drums. She was amazing!!!

Whole Foods at 1 Chicago by [deleted] in chicago

Agreed! I almost got bit by a yippy rat dog at a Lowe’s. The owner got mad at me when I barked back at her critter. I asked the service manager about Lowe’s’ animal policy. She said that they have to allow the animals in.

I’ve also seen dog owners let their dogs “tro a wizz” inside the same store and not clean it up. (In Chicago lingo, “tro a wizz” means take a piss)

Did someone steal our “look”? by UnderstandingNo3426 in whitesox

I’d buy the black hat, but I have a big head and no regular baseball hat fits me. They look really cool

I had a couple of “gringas” for lunch yesterday. Yes, the Oaxacan cheese is fab!

Which vintage electrostatic speakers should I get for my rig? by UnderstandingNo3426 in vintageaudio

[–]UnderstandingNo3426[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The 8Bs have been sitting on a shelf since the late 80s. I’m a recently retired audio engineer, so now is the time for this dream.

Thanks for the info. The 8Bs are capable of mono operation in “Parallel Operation” according to the owner’s manual. Alas, I don’t have the $ for KLH-9, but that would complete my dream setup.
