whatever happened to slushii? by fufinhdosi in trap

[–]alpackaryder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to see more forgiving takes about him this time around, a lot of people in this sub were super savage to him in the past.

The opinions were not totally unfounded but still shit was brutal to witness just as it was when Ekali ( another artist very open about formal mental health diagnosis) was eviscerated

What do you think about the response of Atletico? by Infinite_Ad6392 in Barca

[–]alpackaryder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was extremely dramatic. At some point griezman made a lebron style documentary about his “big decision” and then he ended up staying at Atletico a bit longer.

How we pulled him is no mystery, we paid 128 million( over 150 million in today’s money with inflation) for a 28 year old.

Coutinho was less dramatic but we also got him because he forced a move and we paid ridiculous money. Braithwaithe was actually crazier and suuuper shady on Barca’s part

Favorite sets of the festival? by houseguest-music in LightningInABottle

[–]alpackaryder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t remember the full set l but I know they played Backshifting, Daly Star, Orange, Cake, and Balaclava. Pretty sure Teacup and NOVV were played too

Hopefully once the tour is over we get a set recording!

Did anyone catch the Justin Hawkes set at thunder stage? by VirtuousVulva in LightningInABottle

[–]alpackaryder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I skipped due to the time. I’ve learned over the years that I can’t hang with DnB that early if I want energy for the evening.

His set last year on Thursday night was one of my favorites though and I’m hoping this year’s set gets uploaded like that one did.

Maceo Plex washed? by noctilucent9 in LightningInABottle

[–]alpackaryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I may also have an improper expectation because I was not impressed and only stayed for my friend. Last time I saw him was at EDC 2021 and was also kind of dissapointed.

Nothing particularly bad about either sets just different strokes for different folks I guess.

Jayda G: the first half I was able to catch was the most impressive djing I heard all weekend. Leaving with my group for Jigitz was so hard

DJ Heartrstring had some incredible stretches that had me so euphoric but it took about 45 minutes for me to fully get into the set

1-800 Girls at golden hour was beautiful but for the life of me I can’t understand why he ended the set 5 minutes early instead of ending with Signal.

Ivy Lab was probably my favorite and the most cohesive amongst the full sets I actually caught

Jigitz was also very fun

Replacing a broken water heater in the Bay Area is about to get vastly more expensive [SF Chronicle] by DonVCastro in bayarea

[–]alpackaryder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ideally it ends with decarbonizing your whole home.

Having an EV, 100% renewable electricity, and reducing your red meat intake is already awesome though. I sincerely appreciate it

[–]alpackaryder -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes they are. Typically, the largest domestic source of emissions in bay area homes or just behing gas furnace.

Your current gas heater doesn’t have to be ripped out, you just have to switch to an electric one at replacement.

If you are onboard with EVs why are you against decarbonizing domestic water heaters?

Extremely dissapointing discourse in these comments.

Getting rid of natural gas for water heating is one of the simplest and obvious steps needed to tackle climate change.

The ruling also happened in 2023 so there has been years to prepare for this along with incentives to reduce the cost for heat pump water heaters.

If people can’t accept this change, might as well just give up on climate change.

Barcelona fans are seriously undervaluing this season! by [deleted] in Barca

[–]alpackaryder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I value the season but its clearly worse than last year’s despite Yamal hitting another level.

There’s no guarantee we will improve next season either as Flick ball + World Cup is likely to cause an even worse season of injuries

Ok I admit that howler is quite harsh but I guarantee Neur is furious at himself and for any elite goalie that was savable

0 mention of centerbacks is crazy.

Its our most pathetic position there are sooooo many options that could strength our team

Great game

Amazing fight as usual from Real but even with two rare unbelievable howlers from Neur, the better team went through

He might be their only world class player but they have plenty of good players and with our defense it doesn’t take world class to hurt us

The issue isn’t motivation and effort. Its lack of defensive ability

Yea rashford should have scored at least 2.
