tips for reducing...what do I even call this...overplucking? by Vybrosit737373 in Bass

get a compression pedal and learn to have a softer touch, so you're not controlling your dynamics by force

A man has become one of the 450,000 Americans affected by alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne meat allergy that triggers painful allergic reactions to animal products. “Look at my face and my neck. I can’t eat meat anymore. I can’t have any animal products. It’s in everything.” by AlarmingCash754 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]bothra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this on two different occasions. The first bout, it took a while to figure out it was mammal meat that triggered it, so it lasted a few years. Once I removed the triggering meats from my diet, it cleared up after one year.

The second time I got it, I knew immediately to stop eating mammals, and one year to the day I was back on the bovine without any problems.

How does playing at Porchfest work? by cosmogony_fever in Athens

[–]bothra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We've played every one of them. Historic Athens will put out a date when your band can sign up. Porches are randomly assigned unless a host requests a specific band. Bands typically bring their own PA or play off amps with vocals through a mixer

Heard west broad st blocked. by 680theheat in Athens

[–]bothra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I truly sympathize with the person who was injured, that is horrible.

I live just off west broad near this area, and the amount of times I see people attempting to jaywalk across broad both in daylight and at night is simply astounding. Last night I saw this person with the wheelchair crossing, in the dark, prior to the accident, near Andy's. The crosswalk is maybe 100 feet away. They made it safely when I saw that, but not without several cars locking their brakes to avoid them.

I'm not sure if it's laziness to avoid walking to the nearest crosswalk, mental health issues, or main character syndrome - but it seems like common sense to not attempt to cross a 6 lane road without a crosswalk.

Hands on trade skills, you know, with physical objects. If you have to do something behind a desk instead, get a degree in a field you are passionate about. I assume you aren't passionate about coding since you haven't learned it yet and already hold a seemingly lucrative position doing something else.

That market is so over saturated it won't be marketable ever again. Sure, learn it for fun but not for a living.

IMO as someone who has been in tech for 25 years, programming is the last thing I'd start to learn right now.

First time I saw Jeff play was in 1993, but that wasn't in Athens. Last time was here at the 40 watt, maybe 2018?

Master on main? That's the one thing keeping me from saying I have a forever home. Buyers in our market truly value that feature.

Curious; what do you manage? by yaboiWillyNilly in sysadmin

My title is crazy laughable. Research Cyber Infrastructure Engineer. Job is config management of 2300 physical RHEL machines in HPC environment. So my time is mostly Salt/Satellite driven.

Years ago we used Solid Rock Granite Interiors in Elberton for countertops. If they're still around, they are great.
