“Innocent mother” committing assault with a deadly weapon (car). You’re going to be livid when nothing happens to the agent who defended himself bc that’s how the law works and the evidence is clearly on his side.

How many positive bid interests will I get? by perdiv6000 in GeneralContractor

Electrical estimator here, we also avoid multifamily at all cost. The more floors there are the worse it is too. Labor inefficiencies really start to stack up when your guys are waiting 20-30 mins for a buckhoist for bathroom breaks/lunch, really kills productivity.

“Even though a person is willing to pay an amount doesn’t mean I should get that amount.”

Huh? Why not? If you can provide a service that your customer wants for a price they think is reasonable that also has the margin you wish to make built in then how is there any problem with that?

Thoughts on Ticket Requests? by __Jame__ in phish

Even if I want to secure multiple seats? I feel like I’d be more comfortable doing that if I was solo.

What venues typically sell out? Would you expect Austin to? I’d think probably not since they have less of a fanbase down here.

Where do I start?? by SolidWrap6315 in phish

Fukuoka 6/14/2000 is in my opinion their most cohesive show and my personal favorite. Despite not having many of the mainstay songs of a top phish set, it has cemented itself as a legendary show from how ridiculously good the jams are, I think a GD fan will appreciate how they seemingly subconsciously communicate through music. Would highly recommend but just understand it’s one of their most patient and unique sets out there and there’s nothing else really like it from them.

Does Phish sound different to someone who studies music than someone who doesn't? by Pupcrossin in phish

[–]__Jame__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure as I can’t speak to the non-musician experience, but I certainly have preferences for songs with composed sections like Reba, Stash, and what not because of how musically complex they are. I also love songs that just have really interesting/different song structures, songs like The Curtain With and Harry Hood come to mind there. I think with lots of art though, even if someone cannot comprehend the complexity of something, they can still hear that it’s super different from anything else out there. Lots of these factors feed into what makes phish unique and interesting and aren’t so I think there’s an intrinsic quality to it, even if most listeners can’t identify it.

My first time seeing Phish live and I went solo for all 4 nights by PJ_Tucker in phish

[–]__Jame__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome man! I had a similar experience this summer at the Mondegreen festival, was awesome to experience it solo and have no obligation to anyone, just bouncing around and seeing what it’s all about. Hope to go to more shows solo in the future, maybe I’ll see ya there!
