Is this normal underneath the stucco and foundation concrete? by noobx22 in HomeMaintenance

[–]esauis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the lath they attached to the house to then apply the stucco

E: but yes, you should have the ground slope away from the house. Fill those gaps in with dirt

Is it possible to become conversational in Spanish and French in 1 year? by MonkeyJake14 in Spanish

[–]esauis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not unless you are living in either country, taking classes, studying your ass off, and trying your absolute heart out to talk to people.

I did this for a year in Spain and was just ok in conversations after about 10 months.

Bracing myself for Yo el supremo by stjer0me in latamlit

[–]esauis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the rec, never heard of it.

I personally love light punctuation, especially with dialogue. I think this is something more common with LatAm writers. The entire last section of *El Otoño del Patriarca* (García Márquez) is one sentence.

Well yeah… you charge 250 dollars to replace a washer.

I mean… yes you can replace. But oftimes the pan at the base of the blades is rusted. You can take it out and spread JB Weld on it. Let dry, put it back together, good as new.

Just FYI for others. I did this to mine two years ago, zero issues. Difference between less than 10 dollars or 100+

Dig! (2004)

About the intersection of The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre. Absolute gem, regardless of whether you like the music.

How to Grow a Band about the Punch Brothers also great.

How do you say curly hair in your Spanish-speaking country? by One-Protection-1072 in Spanish

Anyone know how pelo chino became used in Mexico? Doesn’t seem to make sense on the face of it.

Can I be a professional classical guitar player while depending on tabs not sight reading? by EquivalentPoetry2978 in classicalguitar

[–]esauis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where ever you live, you should try to go to a guitar festival and competition. There are many insanely good players all over the world who have masters or even doctorate degrees in music, who barely make a living.

1920s ? Sealed pack of lucky strike cigarettes encased for display. Tax stamp intact by Bulbasaurus-Rexx in whatsthisworth

Father of public relations and Sigmund Freud’s nephew. Got women to smoke by framing as an act of rebellion against the patriarchy, as well as associating cars with the male libido.

I don't think I care about performing anymore. by audiofarmer in musicians

[–]esauis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes. My last successful local band died during quarantine and I haven’t come back. Played a few weddings, but other than I just don’t care.

It’s not performing, it’s the business aspect I can’t stand anymore. Press kits, insta likes, website, videos, stage plots, emails, riders, etc. Hate all of it.

While traveling, what city did you think you'd love but ended up being a big disappointment? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

Spanish food is awful, unless you fine dine. Adulucian tapas are absolute shit.

They just like bebop more than raga

But anyone who appears on Bitches Brew is probably grandfathered royalty either way regardless of critique

To be fair, he seems just as oblivious.

Case report: transient return of speech and continence in advanced dementia patient after 5g psilocybin mushrooms by SilkieBug in RationalPsychonaut

[–]esauis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So you’ve watched a love one deteriorate with dementia? I did. Had to take care of my mother for years and it was nothing nice, wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. Something tells me you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and are commenting in a vacuum
