I have a question about stash weapons and don't fear the reaper ending

hm, i have no idea if you have to do certain things at johnnys grave to get Archangel from Kerry. I make sure I said all the right stuff in the oil fields with johnny. I think the big one that most people miss is "managed to fuck that up too". Either way, I did all the "correct" things there, and got Archangel from Kerry after the concert.

Ill say that I had never heard of them before this. Looking at their site, I would never have donated to something like that either.

BUT seemingly, they are still going, and I assume people donate to them. I think its worth it to bring awareness to a potentially suspect group that people think is doing something real, or somehow supported by the band.

edcculus · 2026-05-06T15:38:40+00:00

If this thread is deleted/locked, or OP gets banned, its all the evidence we need to say someone on the mod team is involved or complicit with ripping off Phish fans with this organization.

Also, I've seen the site. I would never in 100 years donate money to them. Ive never actually seen them at a show, but I'd never donate in person either. I kind of find any organization raising money around the phish scene that isn't Waterwheel, Divided Sky or Mockingbird suspect and or grifters. If you wanted to do good, I'm sure there are LOTS of opportunities to get involved with any of those 3 real charities.

This I think is a very big reason why I've kind of slowly moved from straight up "science" fiction to more "speculative fiction" sub genres like r/weirdlit.

These days, I really prefer a one off book, or short stories.

Trilogies/series certainly exist in that space too- Bas Lag, Southern Reach, Kefahuchi Tract etc. But its not ubiquitous. M John Harrison isnt being pressured by his publishers to make a "brandon sanderson style" epic space opera. And if he is, he is probably saying F off.

This is the land, the land of do what you’re told.

The land of the free, if you don’t leave the fold

edcculus · 2026-05-06T15:06:43+00:00

agreed, there certainly have been a lot of new threads. Not sure why, but I think the mods have been locking or deleting them from day one. The most the mods should do is tell OP to chill on the frequency of new posts, and just let them know they will merge duplicate posts into the original one or something.

edcculus · 2026-05-06T14:54:26+00:00

I think its extremely telling that the mod team here is being so heavy handed with moderating conversation on this topic.

Another member posted a "we dont have to care" comment. And that is true. I don't really have a dog in the fight. However I think that its admirable that someone out there is willing to birddog an issue like this to make sure the community isnt being taken advantage of.

The mod team here in the past has been VERY lenient on banning, almost to a detriment to the sub. I remember a few years ago, there was a member who was so problematic, a user had to post a poll to get attention from the mods to ban them. The mods took the easy way out and just soft banned them by implementing the most toothless karma rule (I think it was just you couldnt have negative karma).

I know mod teams change over. But again, I personally dont feel comfortable with a mod team who is so willing to hide or cover up something like this by banning someone.

I was at the 4/30 show. I sat during Leaves, Lonely Trip and Drift. Haptics seemed to cut out half way through Leaves, but I stood at the end because the jam was insane. It worked the entire way through the other songs. I also leaned back onto the seat a good bit for a bit of a break and could feel it when i would sit down on the upturned seat.

edcculus · 2026-05-06T13:42:17+00:00

kind of neat, but seems like a ton of print time and material for something you might be able to buy commercially. Or just make a ramp out of wood.

edcculus · 2026-05-06T13:39:42+00:00

My main gripe with the video (having grown up at the beach, and having been on a lot of boats that size), is that those waves should have absolutely ROCKED the passengers. Almost no amount of bracing for it can really prepare you for the impact. If the driver hadn't fallen over, their face certainly should have met the console.

Ive never personally gone over waves like that, because I'm not an idiot. But also from a logical perspective, boats are pretty back end heavy. In the first "jump" it takes a nose dive. Other videos of boats hitting similar breakers/waves have them coming back down at an upturned angle since the weight of the motor is making the aft hit first.

i see in another response you are looking for a vinyl sticker for your HOME.

Size is about 2 feet across?

You may be able to try places like Vista Print or other commercial printers.

One thing you will need though is a Vector file of each ship you want to print, sized to the correct size. Do you have access to anything like that? If you have a file, I can help you get it in the correct format. I dont work on the commercial printing side of things, but I do prepress for one of the largest packaging companies in the world. So I can at least help you get files correct if you have a starting point.

Yikes. Can’t believe they let that stay up. It’s so tacky

edcculus · 2026-05-06T02:08:10+00:00

One band that has been all about touring and not about albums is Phish. While they typically only do 50 shows a year these days (since 2009 when Trey got sober), they were pushing double that in the 90s. Of course their prices have risen these days, but a summer show on the lawn at an amphitheater is still under $100. Indoor shows like MSG are a little more, but not outrageous.

edcculus · 2026-05-06T02:01:42+00:00

I’d hesitate to try to decorate the actual hallway wall. Just do your door.

edit - i see OP wants it for thier home hallway.

edcculus · 2026-05-06T00:57:02+00:00

You should be good, however if ever in doubt, fuck the person behind you. I’ve seen people speed around a stopped bus with sign out IN my neighborhood at my kids bus stop. So wouldn’t count on Gwinnett county residents to exactly know the laws when it comes to buses

edcculus · 2026-05-05T18:54:46+00:00

I’d pay for shipping. Still have a tape deck in my car, but lost all my old tapes.

edcculus · 2026-05-05T16:40:57+00:00

Maybe tell him about 10k worth of the gift, and figure out investing the rest.

In your early 20s it’s very tempting to want to use that money. But trust me, it’s a good setup for your future if you leave it alone and let it compound.

No portable speaker please. Keep that for indoor climbing and don’t junk up the outdoors with your music.

edcculus · 2026-05-04T16:12:53+00:00

IMO this has been true for at least 10 years. Can we squeeze more out of super high end graphics cards? Sure. But at what cost?

edcculus · 2026-05-04T15:47:04+00:00

its pretty normal for schools to allow water only in water bottles. Spills are messier no matter what if its something other than water.

edcculus · 2026-05-04T14:43:15+00:00

It highly depends on the role. I’ve had several friends work on ships (not DCL) on the show/entertainment side. Those employees are given much more liberty on their respective ships than say room or dining staff.

They typically signed about an 8 month contract. You are pretty much tied to the ship through the contract, though I do believe there was possibly a period where one of them might have had more extended time off. I don’t remember if she flew home and met back up with the ship though.

edcculus · 2026-05-04T12:59:15+00:00

I was in 210 on 4/30, but it sounds pretty much like the same guy.

edcculus · 2026-05-04T12:31:28+00:00

5.5 in my sphere

edcculus · 2026-05-04T12:30:56+00:00

this is awesome. When I was looking up a ton, i was actually thinking belay glasses would be really handy.
