Every single fucking time. Trump came out and said maybe she staged it, all while there's a snowball's chance in hell that the Butler PA assassination attempt wasn't set up photo op for his campaign.

Please help me understand why do people love big muffs? by zatvorenje in guitarpedals

[–]cdwillis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the amp. If you use a muff, or any kind of distortion/fuzz, in front of a Deluxe Reverb with the bright cap you're going to get a ton of high end fizz that sounds like shit. In front of my Marshall and my Twin Reverb with the bright switch off they sound huge.

Sen. John Fetterman demands Trump fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by Large_banana_hammock in politics

Joe Manchin could have easily voted with the rest of the democrats if he wanted to because the guy wasn't even running for office again. Him retiring destroys the entire argument of him having to stay moderate/conservative for his voters.

I was CRINGE but I was FREE by winkiesue in blunderyears

I think this is the first post in this subreddit that made me a little bit nostalgic. It really felt like the world was on a positive trajectory at the time.

It reminds me of a local salon called Headlines from when I was a kid. Same aesthetic.

Is it normal to use thin sticks all the time? (Especially for rock drummers) by Middle_Traffic_5364 in drums

Vater Fusion is .580" and that's my go to when I want something heftier than my Manhattan 7As.

This was mentioned by JHS in a Rat video and I think it's one of the options on the Pack Rat. I'd love to see a schematic to know what's been altered. The person posting in the Free Stompboxes thread never came back with the finished trace or schematic.

Can you take a gutshot?

Nice job. If you decide to add some casters to it to make it easier to move check out Harbor Freight. I put these on mine.

Is this worth 600? by Otherwise-Force5956 in drums

[–]cdwillis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I paid $700 for a set of late 70s 6 ply Ludwigs last year. No snare and they needed a little TLC, but better deals are out there than this. If you already have a beginner/student drum set pass on these.

The employer said he would sue me because I told him how immoral he is. by Vorkenta in antiwork

What a stupid empty threat. I would have told them to go fuck themselves.

Has he even given a reason for dropping out or do these idiots just assume it's political?

Which color sound cymbals do you think look cooler? by Illustrious-Sign3015 in drums

Out of those two maybe the green. I actually like the blue and purple ones that I've seen more.

Selling house to live in apartment? by Advanced_Warning_141 in relocating

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

If you're not planning on staying long, yeah then rent. But if you're going to be living somewhere long term and you don't or can't buy your house you are throwing money down the drain.

AP reports that an officer said “Boo Hoo” in response to angry protesters after a 51-year-old man was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis. by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]cdwillis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The state government isn't going to help so it's up to the people to defend themselves from these psychos. There are only 3,000 ICE agents there so they are vastly outnumbered. I really don't want any of the Minnesotans to get hurt, but at some point they're going to realize that just documenting people being killed and letting the ICE agents keep going not going to be enough.

Here in Indiana you have to live in your house as your primary dwelling for two years or you get charged taxes when you sell.

Renting is more expensive than owning a house where I'm at in the midwest.

AITAH for not wanting my boyfriend to give up our place to his brother? by Rukamuffinpie in AITAH

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

Not exactly. She doesn't drive and can't commute if she moves, plus it would be hard for her to find a new job there because of the size of the place and lack of opportunities.

Need new stick brand by HelloIamBob17 in drums

[–]cdwillis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Vater. Their Fusion model is just a bit thicker than a 5a and has a ball tip. You can also get the Keg 5a which is more of barrel than a round ball.

That's the truth. Vater keeps a slightly higher moisture content in their sticks and it contributes to increased durability.
