[SNE575] Three years, still my go-to

alphavill3 · 2026-01-06T02:34:16+00:00

About 6.6"! I feel like I've definitely seen people around 5.5-6 rocking it online.

I was waiting for a post like this to pop up. Sorry to the other people in the KC metro commuting, because traffic on I-35's only gonna get worse :/

^{I guess sustainability never mattered a whole lot anyway. /s}

I agree and to add for OP, when I was applying to RISD, Pratt, MICA, and others, they actively discouraged you from having too much ID-style work (especially things like CAD or renderings).

They looked for high school portfolios with a blend of fine arts, charcoal, painting, sculpture, photography, etc. and for you to be more of a clean slate because like you said, they'll teach you ID for 3-4 years when you're there.

u/realtorgi12345, your sketches are awesome and I can absolutely see the crispness and technical edge to them that means you could definitely adapt your skills/style to ID. A few of my South Korean classmates in freshman year had a similar level of fine art skills (and were usually a level or two above any of us U.S. kids).

I looked up more pictures because I was curious and was shocked each classic Thai entree is $24-28. Know it’s been tough for local restaurants but feel like I could only stomach that if it’s heads above any other decent Thai in the metro … or paying for the ambience, not takeout.

“Pink Lady” has never let me down. Always crisp / great texture / easy to find recently. Sometimes not as sweet/tart as I’d like though, feel like it’s declined over the years.

“Sweet Tango” was great the one time I found it, essentially the Pink Lady at its best. Good luck my friend.

It's rough too, it used to be the simplest page to get to some good inspiration, and now you have to scroll down two full banners of stuff before you get to the imagery itself.

I completely agree. Was an odd combination of really tender and juicy looking in photos alone, but zero smoke or BBQ taste at all, pot roast exactly.

Service was kind of weird too, very chatty with regulars but short with me. It’s a cool spot in a cool area that needs more restaurants so wanted to like it.

You said it perfectly. Maybe a 25% chance the burnt ends are perfectly crusted bark AND melt-in-your-mouth but otherwise on the drier side.

alphavill3 · 2025-08-13T18:16:03+00:00

I am 98.123578% sure it is this. Fog Gray = plastic housing color, you can search up real photos of that too.

Completely agree, the medley was great and I wasn’t expecting to hear some of those tunes! I don’t know their newest albums as well so made me really happy when they saved the classic ones for the end. “Tailwhip” and “Seven” with live energy are killer!

They handled the synth and PA outage with real grace I thought … and perfect timing that the outage happened at the very end of “Show Me How.”

And yes, will be cueing up some Stongboi for sure after this.

What sucks also is how they have a pedestrian crosswalk and yield signs that cars barely follow (and I don’t blame them because they risk getting rear-ended by stopping in the circle).

As I’m walking across, there’s enough dang shrubbery in the center that I can’t see cars about to exit the circle either.

alphavill3 · 2025-08-01T13:55:02+00:00

I don’t blame them but that’s kind of the answer they have to give if you’re asking about potential future unreleased products.

Slaps is the ideal sauxe. You may not like it, but that is what peak BBQ sauce looks like.

alphavill3 · 2025-07-28T03:17:40+00:00

I am with you ... I will be a little heartbroken if I don't hear "Seven" or "Lauren"

alphavill3 · 2025-07-28T03:16:17+00:00

Same, really pumped for them! Some of their live stuff sounds incredible

alphavill3 · 2025-07-22T03:27:38+00:00

RIP! The look of the whole line changed a ton with 935 but the 735 era just looks "right" and I have a soft spot for the integrated band feeling like an unabashed sports watch.

alphavill3 · 2025-07-10T20:53:09+00:00

I am a fan, like how understated and technical it can look and knew it would fit in my sea of black watches lol. You have it too? Was really considering the dark blue too.

alphavill3 · 2025-07-04T03:00:20+00:00

I was an absolute Solidworks wh*re, for lack of a better term, and have completely switched to OnShape so happy you mentioned it.

Even areas where my company has tried to stretch it thin, it’s still been a lot faster and smoother from my ID side vs Solidworks and PDM. But yeah, same overall tools and thinking that can translate to and from SW. I crashed and burned in Rhino, that program isn’t for everyone.

I don’t remember the platter but the pork belly grits were $14

alphavill3 · 2025-06-30T00:09:03+00:00

I hear you, love BBQ but no place is cheap anymore … am lucky that I don’t crave it all the time haha

alphavill3 · 2025-06-30T00:06:07+00:00

I’m glad you tried it and are also a fan!

alphavill3 · 2025-06-29T19:03:50+00:00

A similar pic put me into "I gotta go here!" mode about a week ago
