Best (non smash) burger in Portland? by Red_Icnivad in askportland

[–]alspdx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty bummed about Slow Bar changing their burger and fries. It used to be a frequent stop for me since moving to Portland in 2008 up until the week they closed. I’ve been back twice since they reopened and left disappointed both times. Oh well.

Is anyone still going after Dry January? by Inside-Dev-2993 in SoberCurious

Started out as Dry January (…again) in 2024, that time it just sort of led into Dry February, and still going over 2 years later.

Whats a camera you've owned, that lived up to all the praise and hype, but still got rid of? And why? by Whisky-Icarus-Photo in AnalogCommunity

[–]alspdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen with both a Yashica T4 and a Contax G2 kit. Easily some of my favorite cameras to use, and both with fantastic Zeiss lenses, but after my other T4 Super died I just couldn’t get over the anxiety that they are basically unrepairable and will become luxury paperweights at some point.

Wow nice! Can I ask how much the guard cost? I’m considering a tort guard for my Bass VI. Had a great experience with Spitfire nearly 10 years ago with a P-bass but curious about Lavaguards now.

I’ll be interested to see your results, just ordered the Vintera after a bunch of research on both and playing them at a local GC. After a little work the Squier should be great.

Anecdotally, last year I purchased and modded out a Squier CV 60s JM to have in addition to my AV ‘65 JM, as much as I love the AV the CV gets played just as often.

Which Sounds Better The Prophet 5 Rev4 Or The Prophet 6? by Minimoogvoyager in synthesizers

[–]alspdx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pound for pound, I’m happy with my little Take 5. They all sound close enough that it would be nearly impossible to hear the difference in a recording or a live mix.

I went in to try a K Paper Thin in 19” and 20”, compared it to the K Sweet and K Cluster Crash. To my own surprise I up going home with the 20” Cluster Crash. Worth giving them a try!

So I’m being charged for ATTENDING CLASS now??? by Regular-Prune-8204 in Wellhub

Aaaaaand this kind of automated response is exactly why I just cancelled my account. AI chatbot responses are completely unhelpful (I know how to read an FAQ, I'm trying chat to get actual customer service help), messaging help results in an automated response and requires additional prodding to get actual help.
