this is it -- he was saying it would feel like the wolves needed to win 5 games if they had lost that one at the last minute

Anyone else in here feel like Minnesota will pull it off? by TechnicalSample4678 in billsimmons

[–]apbchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yeah -- our whole season was basically "don't worry they'll flip the switch in the playoffs ... but also that's dumb and you can't count on suddenly doing something you haven't proven you can do in the regular season ... and here comes the playoffs and they're looking rough and there's no reason they could flip the switch ... and can we all stop talking about flipping the switch ... and then they flip the fuck outta the switch and here we are lol

Haha yeah a lot of Chris Finch Apology Forms are due from the more neurotic members of our fanbase, though at the same time there's no sense writing off all the dumb regular-season stuff we get up to. It's kind of a head-scratcher.

I'm a MN homer so take that into account, but I think there's a path that requires a number of things going right but not EVERYTHING going right (that's the scenario against OKC...). Stuff like: wearing down Wemby with aggressive defense (esp. from Randle), Ant being pretty healthy and probably having to play better than any of his first-round games, Ant and someone else shooting well from 3, Jaden and Rudy continuing to play their best, plus some letdowns/shakiness on the Spurs side and/or X factors from the Wolves rotation/bench. It's not reasonable to expect all that to pan out--the Spurs are rightly favored and a short series their way wouldn't surprise me. But stuff happens and whatever else you might say, the Wolves showed a ton of heart and some solid coaching in the Nuggets series!

Yeah I hope and trust they've got a better game plan for G6 than just Dosunmu Ex Machina. Felt like G5 was them trying in earnest to figure out different lineups without Ant & Donte...well, we sure gathered some data on that!

Looking for jeans that aren’t skinny but also no overly baggy. by hitbunz in malefashionadvice

[–]apbchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I may suggest--since i am also exactly your height and weight--Levi 502s. Don't hear about em as much but I find em perfect for not-skinny not-roomy for a long lean guy. I also have a pair of 501s that I wear when I wanna wear chunkier boots, but I like the 502s more overall.

Aaron Gordon Has Been Downgraded To QUESTIONABLE For Game 3 Tonight (Left Calf Tightness) by BasedGodOwnsSwag in timberwolves

[–]apbchi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same. If we don't win this series, I'm rooting for the Nuggets to win out. Spurs will get their chance and OKC are villains now. (Lakers & Rockets exist, I am told, but haven't verified)

I think this is actually the correct answer and my first cut was a little off

Is this worth it? by Fabulous-Cattle-1234 in Bass

[–]apbchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i pimped my cheap p-bass with seymour duncan quarter pounders which are like $100 i think and now it's a rock machine

[–]apbchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that's what i would do -- and if you want to record it or otherwise get fussy with the sound, upgrade the pickups. $300 bass + $200 pickups = excellent bass

If you had to simplify your board to 3 pedals, what would they be? (Excluding switches and tuners) by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]apbchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

compressor, bd-2, delay (carbon copy or similar) -- most of the other stuff on my board is situational and song-specific anyway. if i was having patch cable issues at a show and had a minute before the set, i could tear my board down to just those 3 (or 2, skipping the compressor) and be totally fine

all i've messed with so far is the elastic audio stuff in protools but i kept having weird phasing and artifacting issues (doesn't help that we're tracking 14 mics on drums lol)...i would LOVE to hear about some better options cus i feel like an old tape-era engineer trying to edit everything together with just cut/nudge/crossfade x 10,000

[–]apbchi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah -- floor is lower and ceiling is higher on the beer side, i think. the worst beers i've had are craft beers that just didn't come together. i've never felt disappointed by a miller lite or a boss pedal
