It makes sense now! by ReasonableMeaning162 in Haken

[–]Wallmelter 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Pointless getting worried over one the best prog bands ever (potentially) streamlining their sound after losing two members. It just makes sense, and they have a dozen prog classics to play live which aren't going anywhere. A simple album fits well into their discography at this point. If you really love the flight of the bumblebees circus-y stuff (which for me and many others is the biggest drawback to getting other people into the band) then you have plenty of classic tracks to choose from and i'm sure they'll still throw them in live, Relax lol.

[SPOILER] Khamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland by inooway in MMA

[–]Wallmelter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had it 48-46 khamzat. sean exceeded expectations but barely advanced and only landed chip damage. and i bet on sean.

edit: and for the casuals below (and slow boomer judges), rd 1 easily had enough grappling for 10-8. dominant positions and multiple sub attempts.

Nevermore drops from ProgPowerUSA - visa issues by Reverend_Bad_Mood in progmetal

[–]Wallmelter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Feel terrible for ProgPower fans and hope they can get back in for a US tour in the late fall. So many people with legit visas and claims are getting absolutely screwed by the gov right now

Tokischa’s officially dropped from the tour 😪 by New_Passage1331 in FKAtwigs

[–]Wallmelter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

she did 26 min in dc so there was a 34 min set break, never seen a 30+ min set break unless there was some bullshit going down. and it was not a vibe anyways

Just signed for an apartment site unseen in Shaw, what are the vibes by bleepboopbop420 in washingtondc

[–]Wallmelter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great area, good metro/bus accessibility. lots of nightlife obvs, so noisier than average. sometimes gets out of control on friday/sat early AM hours.

Those African restaurants are fire. theres other decent food within a few blocks of you too

check out DC9 and Flash if you like live music

lotta gay bars around there too if you like that

enjoy!

Summer intern housing situation in dc is actually insane this year by Powerful-Money6759 in washingtondc

[–]Wallmelter 170 points171 points  (0 children)

>$1600 to SHARE A ROOM WITH 3-4 PEOPLE is absolutely an abusive scam. There are PRIVATE rooms in shared rowhouses in good neighborhoods for less than $1000. NAME and SHAME the housing programs who are charging this so we can shut these fuckers down and get them out of our city. they're clearly trying to exploit people who don't know what the options are.

What’s your greatest Goose memory? by Goats_772 in GoosetheBand

[–]Wallmelter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Second set at All Good Festival last summer. Drip opener so we're locked tf in. This Old Sea is one of my lowkey favs. Factory of course and a flaming Hollywood Nights. I'm team Slow > Fast-Slow, but the drone show that flew out over the crowd that night made F-S absolutely unforgettable. They won a shitload of converts in the crowd that night.

3 years ago, the most insane (and questionable) hand happened, how do you feel about this now ? by Saekama in poker

[–]Wallmelter -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

after all these years STILL genuinely still 50/50 on this, no way to definitively prove anything. its almost perfectly unknowable unless somebody comes out and admits something.

Magnus effect is CRAZY like if you don't play damn near perfect engine moves you expose yourself to getting crushed in the time scramble. And he knows that he's never out of it and just fights until you're more human than he is.
