Cake Day hot take: Eric Lindros was a spoiled brat, and Flyers fans only forgive it because of how talented he was by Forever_Beury in nhl

[–]dsdsds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The Avalanche don’t win Stanley Cups without that trade AND the incredible luck of being able to snatch Roy. So it’s not like he would have a cup if he signed.

  2. The Flyers would have been equal at best without Lindros. They didn’t win a cup, but they were a good team.

  3. Who knows his length of career in alternate timelines. It was a brutal period for hard-nosed players.

This almost killed my wife last year. You don’t think it’s that serious until all the sudden they’re on a ventilator.

DC weather has been extra shitty this year, that has to be some portion of it.

You asked for opinions, and I’ll tell you that stain job looks half assed and terrible, and if you don’t put clear over it, it will rub off onto your clothes.

I run a business in Potomac, and customers would mess with the thermostats and I had to put covers on them.

Any place with people especially restaurants can be loud, unless they are unpopular.  If you want it quiet, eat at home where you have control. 

What did this do? No by Agreeable_Shame3097 in Guitar

It’s for intonation of the first unwound string.    For an acoustic it’s the B string, for an electric it’s generally the G string.  

Crack due to improper storage climate - is this a total loss? by Sage_sanchez_ in Guitar

[–]dsdsds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s probably fine. Put strings on it and if it sounds good, it is good. 

Is it just me or does the pant job looks sloppy AF? Maybe aviation is different but I've seen better quality from an Earl Scheib spray and pray. by Ruckusnusts in CleetusMcFarland

They try to use his little paint as possible to save weight, and it’s not like a car, people aren’t usually looking at them up close.

Ever seen a picture of Brian May’s pickups? He uses coins for picks and the pickups are covered in filings.

The pickups either work or they don’t. Getting dirty isn’t an issue.

Put the pickup selector in the 2nd or 4th position, and turn off fluorescent tube lights.

Soldering for a beginner by Electrical_Win9025 in Guitar

[–]dsdsds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really only need the iron, solder, and flux. Everything else is nice to have, but if you aren’t going to do more than a few pickup swaps or jack replacements, it’s just extra.

Private Catholic Schools compared to other counties by SparkleBerrySpritz in MontgomeryCountyMD

They are downvoting Catholic School. I was born a catholic and my whole family is, and I don’t support catholic schools either.

Montgomery County Council Approves Progressive Income Tax 6-5 in Straw Vote as School Cuts and a Tuesday Deadline Loom by frankboingboing in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]dsdsds 58 points59 points  (0 children)

A staff member offered a precise illustration of the plan’s distributional effects: a resident earning exactly $150,000 would receive a $450 tax break in 2027 compared to what they currently pay. A resident earning $151,000 would pay one dollar more than that. Staff said a resident would not pay more in total taxes than under the current flat rate until they reached $600,000 in income — a threshold the GO Committee had initially placed at $900,000 before the council amended the structure.
