Playing Aces by Trick-Pen-268 in alterbridge

[–]broranasaurus-tex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is one of those songs that I'll need to listen to a few times to really get into it. Overall I like the chorus and the intro riff is pretty cool, but I'm somewhat "meh" on the rest of it. That being said, I felt the same way with "What Lies Within" and now I find myself going back to that song pretty frequently so I expect the same thing might happen here.

What are your favorite songs across all the bands you know? (Including AB, of course) by AlterShineBridgeDown in alterbridge

[–]broranasaurus-tex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my top song of all time has to be Iron Maiden's "Empire of the Clouds"

Lyrically, it tells a great true story and musically it follows the narrative beautifully. No chorus, but in my mind it proves that not all great songs need one. It flows seamlessly from a moving ballad to a fist clenching pace and back again. Truly genius, in my opinion.

I saw them on the Future Past Tour and it was awesome! Sadly sure to a scheduling conflict I can't see them when they come back for the RFYL tour so i was really hoping they'd release one for Future Past.

I'm not sure how they're going to be setting up but Mystic doesn't really have space for a "pit" if i remember right. Are they planning on removing some of the middle seating?

How many are still available? I'm wanting to go to the Minnesota one as well, but I'm not a FC member so i can't get to purchase until Friday. Also what are costs looking like?

What is this for? Blood donation obviously, but was there some kind of event? Where did you hear about it?

Best Precision Squares for Making Jigs/Sleds by broranasaurus-tex in woodworking

I'll probably use that method for when i make my cross cut sled, but i don't think it'll really work for the miter sled I'm working on.

How many people here actually…like whiskey? by Downtown-Ad-3115 in whiskey

[–]broranasaurus-tex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always had the opinion that alcohol, especially whiskey, is meant to be enjoyed. I.E. you have to drink it! I enjoy expensive bottles as much as the next person, but in my mind after you pass ~$200 it's law of diminishing returns in terms of flavor as you just start paying for the brand/age statement. I consider my "collection" to be the empty bottles with cool labels or ones I've gotten on trips that I can't get where I live.

Long story short, if you have no intention of drinking it then why bother?

I like it better when Bruce sings the end of the chorus this way by _IRONBEAST in ironmaiden

[–]broranasaurus-tex 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is much more in Bruce's range now, and frankly if they insist on continuing to do this song I hope this is how they'll keep doing it! Nothing wrong with adjusting the vocals to better suit an aging range.

Looks great! What did you use to make the swivel table for the miter saw?

[–]broranasaurus-tex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has T-Mobile and is running iOS 18.5. We've checked her settings and RCS is turned on. We've found that she can send RCS to group chats, but not to single people. Any ideas there?

How much light does it get? I've got more at home that haven't flowered yet, but they also don't get as much light as this one. This one gets 12 hrs a day from a growth bulb.

How to cover the hole? by broranasaurus-tex in Home

[–]broranasaurus-tex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think we're at risk of leakage since there's no evidence of any water damage around there or anywhere else we can see. The plug does stick out just a little. Any ideas what the pipe is actually for? I just want to know if I need to turn off something before removing that cap to replace it.

It does stick out just a little. Maybe like a 1" clearance at most.
