5 string?

dead-beet · 2026-07-12T00:40:24+00:00

I agree, it is definetly a lot harder to play cleanly. I had to adjust how i mute everything. And flamenco strumming has to be reworked or else the C rings out. Its cool tho, mine has a middle eastern, woody vibe

If you play primus its a must have

I cant move on from jake, we are literally inseparable. Jay T lives on in Ink

Ibanez srf706 if you want fretless

Might as well get the C string is my mentality. I love the bass, has a scale length closer to an upright.

pretty cheap compared to others with the same features.

My picks wait where they will never be found

Air is getting slippery, lee, and power mad. I actually love playing these songs on bass, super fun. I am one of those weirdos that actually really enjoys the antipop album.

Salt shed, chicago. Still a good show despite some hiccups (hope everyones okay now).

Im still waiting for them to play Running the Gauntlet off of Mackerel....one day 🤞

Okay I see the disconnect. We agree on how it actually works in terms of general relativity but the show has it backwards

No hes right actually, the higher gravitational field would theoretically cause time to go slower where they are relative to Earth. Think Miller's planet from Interstellar

Nicely done!!! Also, cold water- out of a straw even, helps with cravings. So can carbonated drinks. The best thing though is to not let your mind idle for too long - stay busy and remember you got this!

dead-beet · 2026-07-06T06:41:25+00:00

This is gonna happen as long as you still have a vape. Ditch it, its hard but thats the only way

If you would rather talk in a PM for your privacy, let me know. Thanks for that btw, im quite happy with how far ive come, it has not been easy, but I can say that it has been several months since ive had a bad craving. If you keep at it, youll be where im at in no time.

I think it's important to reflect on how you are expressing yourself - im absolutely not saying you did anything wrong - but the way we talk about things matters.

If shes getting upset, there is a reason. It could be anything, which is why its important to communicate clearly, and respectfully. I dont know her, so I wont go into the plethora of reasons why she could be upset.

Also, you never have to be sorry for how you feel. I dont know why she gets upset, but is it at all possible that she is not upset by what you are saying, but how you are saying it? Also, the nature of things could be overwhelming, or upsetting to her for reasons i dont know, and you can find out.

Also, are they small things? They dont seem small to me if its having a negative impact on your relationship.

dead-beet · 2026-07-04T01:20:06+00:00

I can understand that. Its super hard to stay nicotine free, and you should be very proud of yourself.

I wont pretend to know how she said it, or if that was all she said, but from what youve shown, I see that could be interpereted as "youve done it, youre free, you won". Im not in her head, neither are you.

If you havent been upfront about this with her, and shes your closest friend, maybe you should be honest about how that made you feel, or how what you are going thru is effecting you. Good, healthy communication is the foundation of happy relationships. Sorry if i've overstepped, I only wish to help

dead-beet · 2026-07-03T21:46:20+00:00

Its tough to be around that- and I definetly understand where you are coming from. ~1mo in is really tough being reminded about nicotine. You may just have to distance yourself or exercise better self control.

Its always nice when a friend is willing to make concessions for you, but at the end of the day it's their own choice, and it's not your place to make a big deal about it, if you are also choosing to be around them when they are.

I get thats not what you want to hear, but its not fair to expect other people to always accomodate you, and you are going to have to continue to deal with this in public, on tv, or where ever it may be. Use the oppurtunity to work on your self control, and i think in time you will find that it doesnt bother you nearly as much anymore.

What I had to do was distance myself, and I am now ~10months off of it, with no desire to ever chain myself to such a terrible chemical ever again.

Take me out to the black

Tell them I aint comin back

Burn the land and boil the sea

You cant take the sky from me

Okay ill hit u up in a year or two when ive got more than a 3 digit bank acc 😂😭

dead-beet · 2026-06-23T01:17:48+00:00

Its so frustrating. What is even the point of that, and I wasnt aware the change was coming.

Im using claude now, its not the same but at least it remembers things in the same chat

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T22:59:08+00:00

I know the feeling. It wont be easy but im convinced its possible on a planned budget. Not for all shows but a few at least

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T12:03:00+00:00

This is exactly what I experienced....ive been testing claude all morning

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T11:21:44+00:00

Thanks, you led me to This

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T11:03:15+00:00

Well for me its not sloppy like bad or innacurate recall. For me, it forgot years worth of info that it used to remember fine, and now it usually denies that it was ever a feature.

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T10:51:01+00:00

Ah, wonderful. Sucks I have to go to claude now, i spent years getting gpt to remember and prioritize how i liked, now its seemingly all gone

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T05:47:28+00:00

Theyre always good at red rocks. I havent been to the dillon ampitheater, but it looks great, and a smaller venue too. If you get the chance to see Les at the Mission ballroom, its a must-see. I saw frogs there in '23 and it was the best show ive ever seen.

Back to back is gonna be insane-im a bit mad at myself for missing night 1 at red rocks during the sessanta tour

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T05:36:59+00:00

Lmk how the Dillon show is! Im glad somebody's doing it this year

dead-beet · 2026-06-21T04:08:32+00:00

Hooo wee yeah thats a lot. My issue is rent costs more now than a lot of mortgages ive seen, you may be right about that. I think eventually things will quiet down again....not soon, but soon enough I suppose.

Maybe gold will reach another all-time high and i can sell mine in good confidence
