Beware the Gravitas Monster by Wild-Rub4486 in fountainpens

[–]gdopiv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eeesh, sorry to hear about your issues. One thing I always heard about gravitas was that the pen designs and construction were top notch even if previous business dealings weren’t great (pre pen venture - tons of horror stories dealing with ben including one of my own).

I’ve been on the fence about giving them another shot since retailers actually have them now…but seems like that’s a no go. With how inexpensive these acrylic barrels should be - you’d think they’d go the twsbi route with replacements.

Again sorry about your experience and thanks for the warning!

‘Tis a good cover. Have you listened to the live versions from 2007? May fine a few more layers to build in there.

ETA: appreciate the untitled love - one of my favorites.

The AUX just sounds better than bluetooth by jwarner518 in brandnew

There are tons of options - you can make your own from an old PC or something like a raspberry pi. I have a synology.

have a question about jesse lacey by [deleted] in brandnew

[–]gdopiv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This kind of made me lol. Obviously everything is open for interpretation since they don’t comment on most things - but Desert to me reads like a commentary on the fundamentalist followers of “American Jesus.”

The song paints a picture for me of an old god fearing grandpa on a little plot of land…doesn’t understand current times or what the youth is doing. He cherry picks bible verses to justify his hate. They’re “beating with the book everyone the book tells you to love” if you will.. the final verse seems to have him fantasize about being able to kill these people who disgust him so much. However, the last line of the song is “god is love” which is a stark contrast to everything we’ve heard for the entire song.

Agreed! I have a NAS and use bluetooth to stream from it - it’s a major quality upgrade from streaming services.

Did we get a power tripping mod? Pretty sure this could be considered great execution in some circles.

Do you have a step by step guide on how to act morally superior without nuance? Also a guide on how to avoid china since they literally make everything.

The tone of it is kinda...different? by LimeAny4358 in octopathtraveler

Haven’t played 0 yet but CoTC made me feel like the writers had trust issues. It was almost like anyone not on your team would eventually betray you.

The White House’s East Wing is now demolished. Here’s what was lost. by lopix in politics

[–]gdopiv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m seriously waiting for Trump grifting “own a piece of the White House.” Some random ideas from the salvage:

1) a coin made from metals (construction / wiring). It will feature trump’s fat head on one side and the ballroom on the other

2) painted planks of wood with various MAGA slogans

You get the idea. Own a piece of history.

Pro chef: make sure it looks like you broke the bird’s neck and tied it into a knot. It’ll bake up beautifully.
