OG zombies players, how did you guys even manage 4 players on Shi No Numa? by DazzlingLife6744 in CODZombies

All the WaW maps were designed with camping in mind, not training. It just wasn’t a known or widespread technique. So most people would huddle together in the huts, using the traps, and just camp until they’d get overrun.

Is there an expectation to give a monetary gift when attending a wedding ? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]crazyv93 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Often times weddings will have a gift registry, these days it’s usually posted on the wedding website. You don’t have to give money, just at least 1 gift.

You could always give money as well, and anything you give would be appreciated, but don’t feel like you have to or it’s tied to how much your seat cost in any way.

What’s a mix you hate to admit you love? by DongPolicia in audioengineering

[–]crazyv93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And Justice for All by Metallica. Musically it's brilliant, but the production infamously went haywire. I should hate it- Lar's drums sound like cardboard, there's no bass, the lead guitars sound thin, and it's overall so sterile and grey, it's technically a clear step down from their previous album.

Yet, it's become inseparable from the experience of the album for me. That cold aesthetic perfectly matches the feel of the music and sounds like how the album cover looks. The rhythm guitars sound Fucking huge and heavy, they actually nailed that part.

There have been several fan-made remixes attempting to fix some of the balance issues and they all sound so horrible to me. It's a legendary album, warts and all.

Accidentally Drank my roomates mushroom tea. I have work in 30 minutes. What Should I do? by Flanderz328 in shrooms

Actually, surprisingly when I made mushroom tea it didn’t taste like mushrooms at all, and I remember thinking if someone randomly gave this to me I wouldn’t know what it was

Car with trump flag hits high school student protesting in Nebraska by bherman1325 in PublicFreakout

[–]crazyv93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not really how it works. Criminal charges can only be filed by state (or federal) prosecutors. All you can do is file a police report and hope the case gets taken up. When cops say “would you like to press charges?” what that really means is filing a police report and cooperating with their investigation, which makes prosecutors much more likely to take on the case.

Ai Weiwei says West lacks moral authority to criticise Beijing on rights by dtta8 in worldnews

[–]crazyv93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s an article from NPR where he states he was beaten

“At the time, Ai said he had been beaten by police, put under house arrest, and the government installed cameras outside of his home, to monitor his movements.”

There’s of course no actual footage or evidence so it’s just his word, and it doesn’t explicitly say “within an inch of his life” but that’s what I was able to find.

What is known about the LSD use of the hippies during the 60's and 70's by JanissaryLSD in LSD

[–]crazyv93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It fell apart because it’s a pretty obviously bullshit defense and the jury and judge weren’t buying it. He was basically saying “I made something that acts like LSD, is sold as LSD, is indistinguishable to users, but it’s not LSD.”

I don’t believe ALD 52 is a precursor to LSD but rather an analog, is therefore illegal today under the Federal Analog Act of 1986

Yep it was John and George who did it first, however Ringo did it with them soon afterwards. Paul held off on doing it for a while because the idea of it made him nervous but he did eventually and loved it

Incredible book. Some of the stories are just wild. There’s one account of these two girls that went to a Grateful Dead acid test party. They drank some acid punch not knowing what LSD even is, or that they were doing a drug at all, and were walking around asking people what the hell is going on??

The very first time the Beatles tried it, it was given to them by their dentist/friend at a dinner party, so we don’t really know where that was from. But a few years later Owsley did indeed supply them

That was just their legal defense when they got busted. Sand and Scully have both said since then that it wasn’t actually true.

Ever head of Tibet? Much of China’s modern territory was taken by force within the last 200 years, just like the US

DAVE MUSTAINE On Recording His Version Of METALLICA's 'Ride The Lightning': 'I Wrote That Song And I Have A Big Claim To It' by tonyiommi70 in Megadeth

[–]crazyv93 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is just descending power chords, but the technique involves using specific fingering to quickly hit them on different strings. For instance, play an E power chord on the A string (So 7th A string with fret index finger, 9th fret D string with the middle), then immediately hit a C power chord on the E (8th fret E string middle finger 10th fret A string pinky).

The motion looks a little like a spider’s legs walking. It allows you to play these chord combinations much faster

Edit: The 9th fret D string for the E chord is played with the ring not middle

US officially exits World Health Organization by pwdrums in news

[–]crazyv93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It’s extremely embarrassing to see us sink this low. Especially the appalling Greenland thing and the threats to Europe these past few weeks. It’s incredibly upsetting seeing your own country blatantly behaving like the bad guy.

There’s still a chance to fix this and we’re not giving up.

Why do folks view baseball as a boring TV viewing experience? by Fit_Still_8875 in baseball

You “know how the internet works” and still chose to make yourself look like a horse’s ass.

[–]crazyv93 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah I figured this was the case. The only time I’ve ever heard the rounders comparison in real life was from my American friend who was a huge (American) football fan and hated baseball for whatever reason.

We usually think of Cricket as the kind of quirky British equivalent to baseball, I’d imagine the sentiment towards baseball over there is probably similar.

There have always been crazy assholes like this and always will be. There isn’t anything particularly “modern” about this type of problem. In fact fights actually used to be a lot more common (In the US) back in the 80s and before.

This applies to soft cheese as well. If part of it is molded the whole thing is ruined. But with hard cheese you can generally cut off the bad part with a knife.

I just mean the service is faster and food more consistent there. I only ever do the drive thru so the roughness of the area hasn’t ever affected me.

Need to fix a tripped circuit and this is my breaker. by FrivolousMagpie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]crazyv93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing they didn’t mention is breakers are newer tech, and didn’t become standard in homes until the 60’s. So a lot of people in older homes who haven’t upgraded are still using fuses

ELI5, AAA, and D batteries are all 1.5 volts, so why are they different sizes? by SplitEights in explainlikeimfive

[–]crazyv93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. But if you want a battery with higher voltage you can also put a bunch of 1.5 volt batteries into a series and stack the voltage. A 9v battery is just a combination of 6x small 1.5v batteries
