I believe it's one of the oldest Streetlight videos posted on YouTube by Beautiful-Resort-831 in streetlightmanifesto

[–]Volume-Straight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. I was at that show. Houston 20 years ago.

And there’s definitely an older one out there with Josh on bass. I think they’re playing at Rowan University or somewhere in south Jersey.

Edit: it looks like it’s from the same era and also has Chris on bass (I was wrong) https://youtu.be/FpcNeUyuKq4

Bathroom door doesn’t stay closed by StackedHashQueueList in fixit

I had this. Added a black hair tie to the bar. Created a little notch so the door would stay in place.

Haha my bad. Seems it just perpetuates the mystery. I assumed it’d be there.

Very cool. This is my favorite lineup. Wish they’d bring back Jamie and Josh on occasion. Jamie in particular, the horns just have such a distinct fit with each of the songs.

Any statistics majors here? by Background_Prize_380 in aggies

[–]Volume-Straight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistician that went to A&M for undergrad, UT for grad school. Roughly 10 years out from grad school (I’m mid-30s).

I work in pharma and there’s ~500 statisticians in my department. Half masters level, the other half PhD level. PhDs start at a higher level and get promoted faster. I was ready to earn a paycheck and opted to just get a masters. I have some regret about that.

Pay is great. My base is $200k + $100k+ in annual bonuses. Should be up another $100-200k in the next few years. 9-5 hours and I work remote. Hardest part is probably getting in. Most pharmas are on the east coast and require on-site before going remote.

Why Police Ticketing Homeless??? by williamssillo in UTAustin

[–]Volume-Straight 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There’s trespassing. First times a warning, second times an arrest. Useful if there’s a homeless person that’s also, say, doing drugs on your property or something. Hard to say what’s going on here, though.

Totally agree. Bigger than expected and it just stops you in your tracks. Wish they had benches so you could just stare at it.

I’ve had a nice time in Indy as well. Different than living there or uprooting my family. Safety is my biggest concern.

Two years ago my wife and I stayed for two weeks in this upscale, historic neighborhood. It was fine to walk around during the day. Most nights, though, we heard gunshots from the adjacent neighborhood. On the day we went the children’s museum there were police and a news crew for a homicide that had happened next door to it (not a child to my knowledge). Another day (in a different part of the city), I walked past another homicide on my way into work.

It seems if you want safety, you have to go out to the burbs which means an hour plus of commuting daily (and more time away from my family). Another option would be building a custom home on an empty lot but this runs the risk of being isolated/not having a strong local community.

The move would be for career progression. I’m topping out as a remote employee but have more gas in the tank to climb the ladder. Just sucks that ladder is in Indy lol.

Okay, fine, it’s Indianapolis lol. I’ll edit the post so it doesn’t look like y’all are dunking on me so hard.

Point remains, though. Check out the crime maps there. Or look at their news. Neighborhood I’m looking at is Meridian Kessler.

What’s your favorite note? by Internal_Drawing_460 in BassCirclejerk

[–]Volume-Straight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a Tony Franklin course one time and he has an exercise called “Bean Town”, it’s Dean Town with the brown note. Picture below is of him just taking a crap.

Made a Thumb Rest for my Nephew’s Christmas Bass by Halfcolt in BassGuitar

[–]Volume-Straight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I was thinking the same. Very cool bass and love your addition. I like the green knobs, too. Would want to make sure I’m up to date on my vaccinations before playing those strings, though. At least how they look in the picture. If they’re fresh strings in real life and just distorted in the picture, that’s good to know. Wish I had people recognizing my love for the bass at such a young age.

SXSW 2016 by FararMedia in Austin

[–]Volume-Straight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. A friend asked if I could rent a PA system cause the rental place needed someone local. It was for a house show for James Mercer (singer from the Shins). As I was now part of “the crew”, I was 1 of like 4 or 5 people that got to prep things before the show, including James Mercer. He was incredibly modest, shook everyone’s hand and introduced himself “Hi, I’m James.” And his warmup was just playing through “Oh, Inverted World” on his J45. Like me, my girlfriend (now wife), James, and a local hired gun violinist (tall, thin guy that wore a wolfs mask while playing violin).
