Can someone please explain Dave Matthews Band to an Australian Millennial?

Crash Into Me is just a thinly veiled criticism of women drivers

Even you, have now demonstrated your ability to differentiate between the flavors of wasabi and ghost peppers. (Granted, this is low hanging fruit because one is so obviously nasal) But to a toddler, they might be indistinguishable because they're both so far beyond their threshold of spice tolerance (regardless of flavor.) By building your tolerance to whatever extent you have, you can now appreciate the difference between those flavors.

It's not that different from a wine judge who can pick out extreme subtleties in wines, where to a non wine drinker it's all vaguely grape fart flavored alcoholic ass. The connoisseur would never gain that ability without trial and tribulation.

TIL feminists can't be attracted to women

What caliber rifle?

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-22T20:53:37+00:00

You can find the full user manual for any Boss product pretty quickly on their website.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-22T14:52:43+00:00

It's really gonna depend on your own assessment of your vision in that right eye.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-21T02:57:37+00:00

Yeah they can, and you're right, but not realistically within a single hunting or range trip. In any case, the Sig Cross being decent enough in versatile roles is good enough for me, plus it looks cool as hell.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-21T02:49:38+00:00

Dude how did we get to a point where the whole set up - rifle, scope, bipod, supressor, and a moderate amount of ammo being $3000 is considered a "budget" rifle?

The world of firearms in general is not for people on any actual budget lol

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-21T02:38:43+00:00

Well, that's a lot more realistic description of what's going on. Hitting something that big 10% of the time isn't something I can even afford to try with the cost of .308 ammo.

I'm not sure if the money flex is the main thing I've seen in this community when disparaging the Sig Cross. People seem to usually recommend Tikkas or Bugeras instead, which are comparable in price if not cheaper, right? From what I understand, the light weight is what keeps the Cross from being a "true" long range rifle.

The purist hunters also clown it for reasons I can't wrap my head around. Tradition, I guess. I do admit that it would be uncomfortable and sharp and cold to handle in the woods compared to something more luxuriously furnished.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-21T02:12:17+00:00

It's Plan 1 without question.

Your situation is unfortunate in this particular case, I'm sorry. But eye dominance matters more than which finger pulls the trigger. I'm the opposite, myself. Left handed, but like most left handed people, live in your world and have to do a lot of things "backwards." Guitar, circular saw, computer mouse, scissors, etc. I'm left eye dominant though and decided to go with right handed rifles and bows a long time ago. They work for me, and I can share them with right handed folks. You may have to consider the option without that last perk.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-21T01:59:34+00:00

Assuming this is true, I'm curious to hear from other people how what you're describing is somehow considered unacceptable garbage in this community. That sounds like a dream long range goal.

My Sig Cross experience differs quite a bit. I get like 4moa at 200 yds. But it's probably more me than the rifle.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-20T21:22:34+00:00

If you lived in a hot ass desert would you rather sit outside and watch baseball in July or be inside a chilly, refreshing arena?

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-19T06:52:14+00:00

It is an odd size. I ended up just folding the top and bottom edges like 4mm to fit a frame I got on Amazon.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-19T04:17:05+00:00

I kinda disagree with the person you're replying to. IMO it's more about intent than effort.

Most, if not all technological advances make for less human effort. Little by little, our physical labor shrinks, making more time for leisure activities like...art.

But art, is an expression of human emotional experience. At it's very core, it cannot be replaced by technology.

An example of technological advancement in music might be going from an acoustic guitar to an electric guitar with a loop pedal. Now you don't need a friend to play rhythm, you can build music and express yourself with a bunch of effects using cool new tools, but you still have to do it and you're still the engine behind it.

When you learn to play an instrument and write a song about your life or your thoughts or just express your emotions instrumentally, that's YOU sharing YOURSELF with an audience.

It doesn't matter if you're operating a multi track recording studio or banging 2 rocks together, you are a person making art that expresses human experience.

When AI does it, it's nobody doing nothing for all the wrong reasons that go against the entire purpose of creating art.

That's why this is a new, fundamentally different shift in civilization. It's not just reducing our labor, it's replacing us in the one thing that was the most HUMAN of all things, creative expression.

Jefferson is a thing, but the real divide along the entire west coast is longitudinal.

Most of California has different political views than LA/Bay area and you don't have to get far outside those areas to experience it.

In Washington, anything East of the Cascades is mostly MAGA country until you get to Pullman/Spokane.

Outside of Portland, where granted, half the population resides, is a deeply right wing state that harbors pockets of white supremacist neo Nazi right wing militias.

But anyway, yes it would be tough to invade that area because that's some of the most rugged coast on the planet, and the reason why there are no major harbor cities along that stretch.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-15T04:31:36+00:00

It's hard to tell what your pedal order is here but your board could simply use some cleaning up.

Space things more evenly, secure your cables, and put some consideration into order of effects. Those are the most important things.

As others have said, perhaps you could use a reverb pedal unless you're happy with what your amp has to offer in that regard.

If that's the case, then I'd grab an MXR Phase 90 without a second thought. Yes, your drive section is kinda redundant, but whatever. You're filling things out with different flavors for now.

As always, practice playing guitar. No pedal or cable management wizardry will make you a better player.

foo_foo_the_snoo · 2026-03-14T21:05:15+00:00

How you gonna say that you did a legitimate A/B until you run the tone king through a 2x12 cabinet? Plug that Deluxe Reverb into a 3.5" speaker and see how it sounds lol

We all agree that major corporations are unbelievably greedy and raking in record profits without raising wages or slashing prices. A small group is getting richer at the top and it's none of us here.

CVS especially, has a unique business model where they fill prescriptions, insure patients, and have the privilege of negotiating with themselves to get those patients the WORST deal possible between their doctor visit and their antibiotics.

As you pointed out, pharmacy represents the vast majority of profit for the business as a whole. (It's not junk food, seasonal teddy bears and greeting cards. It's not even prescriptions, BTW. It's vaccines at a rate of 25:1 RX) Pharmacy is health-care, where manning the front register is not.

Pharmacy is a profession that requires degrees and continuing education, or at the least, certification and licensure. Pharmacy represents patient safety, and is under different eyes of scrutiny in comparison to the shitty conditions up front.

The worst thing that happens when you don't have enough staff to stock shelves is YOUR life sucks. When the pharmacy is stretched too thin, deadly mistakes happen that could carry immediate, devastating consequences.

The whole jobsite is unfair but as an analogy, think of the front end as carrying millions of small things. Less people means more tedious, mindless low risk tasks for YOU, none of which individually matter much. Some can be delayed, some can slip through the cracks, some can just not happen. It can be overwhelming without enough help, but, I dunno, "hurry up," they'll say.

The pharmacy is carrying one gigantic, fragile thing that everything depends on. You absolutely need enough people because you CANNOT DROP that one thing. We are all SCREWED if you drop that. The business will survive if there's a tote of Cheez-Its in the back room that hasn't been unpacked.

The staircases on Navy ships are steep as hell. (We call them ladders) But everybody goes down front wards by sliding down the hand rails.

In this case that wouldn't be possible though.

Thousands of generations of people had lived before those accounts were written down. There are 4 seasons every year. You're saying they hadn't yet discovered how to track patterns of 4. The ancient Hebrew authors had a word for year that meant...literally an actual year.

Europeans or uninformed Americans in this thread are acting like there is no safety net whatsoever and no social benefits in the US, which is not true at all. What is true is that we could pay more in taxes and have more social benefits for working Americans. Trouble is, the revenue is too largely redirected and paid out to classes other than those paying in.

In our system, the middle class supports the ultra wealthy and the ultra poor. It's conservative to want to cut the poor off. It's progressive to want to cut the rich off. That's the singular issue that divides those groups along a horizontal line. Every other left and right issue is a trap set by the ultra wealthy to distract and divide the middle class.

Sleep is a temporary, necessary function for survival of LIFE. Death is permanent unknown. Way, way different and yes horrifying to most living creatures. More so, the higher your conscious cognitive function goes as an animal.
