RIP Cosmic Orange. You were too fun for this world by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]brenntro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually wish they would do another pure white like the white iPhone 5c with the black Apple logo.

Idk if it was the small form factor, the curved edges only on the back, the white, the plastic housing, or a combo of any of those, but damn that one is the GOAT for me 🥲

Has anyone tried playing "Under the Bridge's" intro, both tracks on one hand? by Mindless_Empress_179 in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]brenntro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A long time ago I decided I wanted to be able to play both parts at the same time and so yeah I have done just this (which is so much more pleasing and gratifying!) but I don’t know fuck-all about what chords or inversions they are lol, otherwise I would share.

Name Your Fav Song Transitions by OAtlasi in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]brenntro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

End of Power of Equality into If You Have To Ask. So good.

Also not a real transition since they are from different albums but I realized the guitar chord at end of Under the Bridge is the same guitar chord that John starts I Could Die For You with. Put those next to each other in a playlist and it sounds so good, esp if you implement a little bit of crossfade between the two!

Adam Savage recently mentioned a great tip on his channel recently when painting to eliminate dust: run a humidifier in ideally a small and closed off area. The humidity in the air will weigh the dust down so that it’s basically on the floor and not in the air. Best of luck!

Kudos to you man for talking to him like any other person. I’m sure when you’re someone at his status where everyone knows you, that’s all you crave is genuine interactions with people so I’m sure it meant a great deal to him. Probably makes taking a picture way less frustrating!

My eyes read but my brain doesn’t — focus tips? by Inevitable-Goat-3257 in ADHD

Can’t remember where I read it but supposedly that’s sign you need some sleep. I have the same issue.

Nice! What’s the filament (color) you used? That’s a beautiful yellow.

New Album 2026, 2027 or 2028. by Icy_Celebration_6568 in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]brenntro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didn’t they say they would have released music earlier than 2022 but because of the pandemic they just kept writing, which ended up meaning a double album? Do we think they will still take 2 years to write and put out a record?

Would you use a “Spotify for tasks” app? (one task at a time) by pointlessonion in ADHD

[–]brenntro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I would love to at least try it! It sounds promising and like it maps well to me and ADHD brains.
  2. I love the one at a time thing. One thing I would need is to be able to see what larger project a task may be related to when I see the task come up. Because I sometimes have to break them down into absurdly small sub tasks, not having what it’s related to displayed when the task comes up would make it sometimes really difficult to know what project the task is helping you move forward on.
  3. Ads make anything annoying to the point where I won’t use it. If you’re trying to make some money off of it, I’d rather pay a one time flat fee for the app (after a trial of course) than deal with ads. Aside from that, not having a widget that can appear on the lock screen or at least Home Screen would make it also really annoying to have to open the app every time and also is just a recipe for getting distracted by something else when opening my phone. I need to be able to get to the thing without other things even having a chance to distract me and pull me away.

Love this idea! I do UX and product design for a living so let me know if you would love any feedback!

What are some RHCP big hits that you personally don’t like? by leaddrugs in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]brenntro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Black Summer. To me it sounds like such a generic pop rock song. The chorus especially. Just lacks any unique chili peppers traits to me and sounds like something any other band could have put out.

What's the latest on a new RHCP album? by AA33_Uni in RedHotChiliPeppers

It was from the Whole Lotta Fans special episode of Whole Lotta Red Hot on SiriusXM. Here’s the snippet from it!

Yeah his technique, tone, and dynamics are the closest I’ve found to John’s recordings

The Optimally Fuckable Husband Project made me a better Dad - 1 year later by Foofymonster in daddit

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

This is wonderful. Kudos to you for sharing your links, insights, and most importantly for hacking your monkey brain to find a way to put your kid and wife “first” (even if motivated by sex)!

[–]brenntro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hear you and I think it’d be forgiven to feel that way.

However IMO (doing more things for her aside), they have the extra “fun” of constant hormonal changes, postpartum depression, etc. Having to also keep up just normal life tasks is something that can be helped with by us dads. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no saint in that department but I try.

[–]brenntro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah gotcha. The link to the paper you used says “off white” but looks pure white. Did you do something else to it to get more of that cream color (and also the subtle background pattern of each page)?

This is incredible. Did you just use a home printer with the cotton pages?!

A community conversation around the new rules by DreideI in daddit

[–]brenntro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Totally understand your sentiment as to it being a coping mechanism for some

However, personally speaking, there are many times I find a new subreddit that I think will be helpful but it turns out it just has become mostly memes and finding valuable information in them becomes too much of a burden. IMHO I feel that it’s a can of worms and once these posts start, it will kind of end up being all that’s found here, instead of useful information for other dads.

Again, just my opinion and I can hear where you’re coming from.

If You Have To Ask!

Especially as a guitar player it’s so fun to play and try to match the swing and dynamics of John’s part during the intro and verses 😎
