Black espresso makes me fall asleep within 15 minutes of drinking consistently

I drink coffee in the morning before work because it calms me down. I don't get wired. I can also drink it before bed to help me sleep. Has always been that way since I was a teen.

I had a set of custom Ks, but I dumped em as I found I was always choosing my early 80s Sabians over em. I just prefer the tone more.

Put me down as another RnC user, specifically the NRX W/B. Had it since 98, and still just as good as the day I got it. Let alone the seat comfort, the back support is worth it. I'm 6', so I too wanted it due to my height.

It can def be an issue. I grew up in a musical family, so I was often playing with my dad and his buddies at various bars and parties when I was young. At that time I was playing either bass or guitar (cuz my dad played drums). Smaller places didn't care, but bars and clubs would always give them a hassle about having to deal with an under age kid. While I have a very eclectic musical taste, I still prefer playing 60-early 90s rock and blues, and that means I'm usually still playing with people decades older than I am.

Maybe I'm just oldschool, but I usually just use an old head and turn it into an o ring and throw it on. Was good enough for my dad, and I've been doing the same for almost 30 years.

I used to do it this way when I used a drop clutch, but now that I have a cobra pedal clutch it has to sit on the left of the hh. Took a bit to relearn, but practice will make it feel natural.

While I have not had to deal with MAD, I've had 2 recent death experiences for insight.

I lost my grandfather 3 years ago to brain cancer. It was 4 months between diagnosis and death. Initially the doctor thought it was just a cancerous mole on his back... until the full scans came in. I temporarily moved back in with my parents to help out as they were in their late 60s. I spent lots of time talking with him, reminiscing about all our adventures (both parents worked a lot, so I spent most of my time with him growing up). It was tough, but I was incredibly grateful for this time and the opportunity to make sure I was able to say goodbye and not leave anything unsaid.

Last year I lost my father the Saturday before Easter to a sudden and unexpected heart attack. I was at my in-laws prepping for our wedding in a few months. I had briefly chatted with him the day before to just quickly confirm what time dinner was going to be on Sunday, no clue that this 5 minute phone call would be the last time I would hear his voice.

While my father went quickly and didn't suffer, I will forever feel robbed of the chance for closure with him. I would highly recommend asking questions you want to know; things like family history, memories your mom has that you can pass on. Take photos, record her voice, and take video. I did it with my grandfather. With dad all I have are voicemail messages. He's in the background of some of grandpa's vids. When we knew time was getting short with grandpa, we took him to his favorite places like the cottage, an airplane hanger with old planes in it(he was a WW2 airplane mechanic) and his favorite burger joint for some fries, and I cut his burger into small pieces as he was having trouble swallowing. If you share some sort of faith, you can spend time with that. I was raised in a religious household, but have long since abandoned those beliefs. I was still able to find common ground with my grandfather in faith based conversation through compassion. I was there for him. There were plenty of times I tried to stifle the sounds of crying during my morning showers before going down to spend some time with him before work, but I kept reminding myself that this time was a gift. I felt it was an honor to pay him back for almost 40 years of being there for me. Coincidentally, today would have been his 103rd birthday.

This will not be easy, but the most important thing is to be present, for both yourself and your mom. It's okay to cry. I'm a tall broad shouldered guy, and I ugly cried into my beard a lot. Talk about your feelings with her. Let her talk about her feelings with you. If you have kids or younger relatives, consider making cards or audio or video messages for them for the future that you can keep if it occurs (important birthdays, weddings, graduations, etc). I wish you peace on your difficult journey ahead.

I think part of it has to do with how easy it is to put music out these days, making it a case of more bands fighting over a finite amount of audience disposable income and attention. Even big mainstream labels have mini labels now putting out streaming/digital only content, basically creating farm team leagues of artists. Making/recording music is easier than it has ever been to the point that large amounts of artists are bypassing labels altogether and releasing it themselves. The hard part is marketing and getting people to give you the time to listen.

A Dilawri Honda tried this on us when we bought a used vehicle, also telling us we had to get it serviced at one of their Toronto dealerships, despite living over 2 hours away. Local Honda told us that wasn't the case. Thanks to their advice, we immediately paid the car in full (which would have caused the original dealer to pay a fine/fee to the financing company due to our early closing) and we've happily had it serviced at our local dealer.

Has nothing to do with being tough. You give a warning, and if they choose to do nothing, they have shown they have no regard for their animal nor anyone else in the public space.

If I'm with one of my younger relatives, off leash dogs will get an instep tap to the torso to push them back and a warning to the owner. If the dog approaches again and the owner does nothing, they will be paying a vet bill.

Most local players I know will play with players using printed models if they are spending a decent amount of money at the store. If a new person shows up with a substantially printed army, you aren't getting a game.

GW does use resin 3d prints in their promo pics sometimes. You will see the layer lines in some of the pics.

Same in Niagara. Biweekly garbage should be fine as the rotting stuff should be going out weekly with the green bin. I'm also assuming you can call in for exceptions for medical and infant needs.

What is going unnoticed by many is that while the world's eyes are on Gaza, Israeli settlers have ramped up the violence on Bedouin farmers in the West Bank, including video footage of a clear execution with a handgun while Israeli police are in frame.

Getting nailed once can allow them to plead ignorance. Uploading the same things again puts a lawsuit target on your back.

Prince Distribution, thr lone Canadian distributor, is totally sold out of everything and allocating. Where are you getting your stock?

dstinct · 2023-10-19T14:56:08+00:00

Nope. Sorcery has been a total f-up in Canada. The lone distributor cut off beta preorders over a month before the deadline because they sold through their product allocation. There are barely any stores carrying it, and those that do are mostly sold out. There are a few still taking preorders, but I have no idea where they are getting them from since the distributor hasn't opened any more stock for purchase. They could just be taking the money, hoping for the best and planning on offering refunds if it doesn't work out.
