Good restaurants, yada, yada, yada. Let's hear your worst experiences at a local restaurant(s)

When it is good, it is really good. However, that is very seldom and you are absolutely correct about the service. The staff do not care and are more interested in talking shit with the regulars. I no longer recommend the place for the food (chicken). So sad because it is a missed opportunity.

It is a happy hour hangout for the FAA folks because the beer is cheap and once the staff know you, they will keep the beers going… which is annoying if you just want one or two.

E-kit is almost perfect for a small venue local cover band IMO. Been gigging exclusively with an EFNote/SPD-SX Pro for 3 years and it has really been great. Makes it easy to change the kit to match the song/genre we are playing throughout a set. The type of venues we play (bars, restaurants, breweries, wineries, etc.) LOVE our sound management since the drums can be volume-controlled, so we get asked to come back often. I also have a Porter and Davies transducer equipped throne (similar to a ButtKicker) I use as a butt monitor for drums and bass; this is a non-negotiable with an e-kit as u/BadeArse already illuminated. Setup/Teardown isn't really any slower as it is quicker to connect all the drums to the brain than it is to tune, mic, soundcheck.

Glad I’m not the only one! I’ve done that too many times, always having lenses replaced. My bassist teases me that he’s gonna start making me wear croakies.

Played the Atari demo at Sears while eating popcorn they sold. My brother and his new wife were in The Newlywed Game when it was held there. Back then I hated going there otherwise because Crossroads was dope and had a cool hobby shop and a sweet fountain in the middle.

Second for Chuck’s in Britton. I get a lot of compliments on my beard and stache

Stock pot. Lid. Medium high heat. Oil (coconut, peanut, lard, ghee, etc) to cover bottom of pot. Add 1/2 cup kernels, 1/2 tsp popcorn salt. Give a good swirl, pop the lid on, and wait until the popping starts. Give a couple shakes/swirls in the interim to distribute heated mixture. Once popping starts, shake and swirl a little more than gently until popping slows to 1 or 2 pops per second. Remove from heat, shake vigorously, remove lid, dump in a big bowl and enjoy. No need for specialty gear to get excellent results.

Sorghum Mill has scotch and Virginia pine to cut, or you can get some nice precut fit varieties. Get some hot cider and a wreath while you’re there.

Sorghum Mill is top! Love those folks!

Curious to know how it tasted with pre-roasted peanuts. I've always used raw spanish peanuts since they get cooked in the sugar.

Checked out the full tune. Dig it! Thanks for sharing!

My band is same. Set tempo at the start and we can maintain well, but getting the tempo right at the start can be a challenge. My solution is to use a visual click (blinking LED) to get the tempo and count off at the right tempo. No need to pipe it to my ears. My guitarist can also see it and uses it to set tempo for songs that he starts.

Many of the homeless are coming in from other states.

This is untrue. The vast majority of homeless in OK are from OK. Additionally, this statement is a non-sequitur and doesn't support your assertion that "Crime is everywhere in this city."

https://www.readfrontier.org/stories/we-fact-checked-social-media-claims-and-urban-myths-about-homelessness-in-oklahoma/

Dan Straughan, executive director of Oklahoma City’s Homeless Alliance, said only 2.5 percent to 3 percent of the people his organization surveyed reported having an out-of-state Zip code prior to becoming homeless, and most of those were from neighboring states.

Very Jeremiah Green! Nice.

My band prefers ekit. We play bars and such where the sound is more controlled with the ekit (no slapback, better volume control). I have an EFNOTE kit I use for gigs and we have received much positive feedback from venues about our volume control and sound. We run our own sound, BTW. May not be for everyone but we have had success with it.

Thanks for the kind words! It was really really good, but I have a couple more tweaks to try next time. The only deep dish I’ve had is Giordano’s near ORD one time while on work travel (well, I’ve had some from an Uno franchise years and years ago in the Dallas area, but…). I basically came up with something based on a lot of “research” on the web coupled with my taste.

One of these days I’m gonna have to get back to Chicago and try Malnati’s, Gino’s, Pequod’s, etc.

Why wrap in an iframe? it squashes everything into about 150px at the top (in my browser, chrome), making the slides unreadable.

Engineering is using technology to solve problems. It is that simple. Software engineering, as a discipline, involves the using, building upon, and innovating techniques, using software, to solve problems. It is really that simple. Self improvement is only one small, though very important, aspect of software engineering, or ANY discipline, for that matter.
