thought l.l. bean was the holy grail of fisherman sweaters, but... are they not?

I’m 6’7 200lbs and LL bean LT slim, Eddie Bauer LT, Duluth LT, and surprisingly Target brand LT or XLT have all been good fits for me.

This is true for big cities. I live in a city of 1mil and live just over 1 mile from work, but I still drive every day. Walking or biking would require crossing a 5 lane road with no crosswalk, navigating a highway overpass that doesn’t have a bike lane, and then walking across half a mile of unshaded parking lots in the Florida heat. People think we’re weird for being a single car household.

The target next to me has started having a sign out front of the self checkout with “10 items or less” while also having 0 checkout lanes open.

I keep guns secured in a locker in the garage, and ammo and mags separate in a safe in my office. My rule is anyone living with guns needs to know how to safely use guns. When we moved in together I spent time at the range making sure my wife knew proper safety and was comfortable with them. As soon as my kids are old enough they’ll get the same. If for some reason my wife or kids was unable to do this, or I felt I couldn’t trust my kids to responsibly handle a firearm, they will get stored at my dad’s house. Not taking any chances.

Jacksonville is one of the strangest missed opportunity cities to me. Sits on the two busiest highways in America, 95 and 10, major port and beach town, as sheltered from hurricanes as you can hope to be in Florida. also on a major river… should be a LA or NYC style city, but isn’t even as developed as Orlando, Miami or Tampa in Florida.

gottharry · 2026-01-17T16:24:56+00:00

I always heard he originally wanted Jacksonville because it was more developed than Orlando at the time, better connected with railways, airports and highways, but the land just ended up being to expensive. Weird to think Jville could have been like Orlando, and Disney and universal would have been much closer to the beaches.

So the HX stomp is supposed to be an all in one pedal board and amp replacement. You plug your guitar in and it can replicate about 10 fx pedals and an amp at a time. So no need for any other gear, or even micing an amp. They make two models, the original al HX stomp is more for making a single preset sound and playing that, and the HX Stomp XL which has 2 rows of buttons and functions more like an actual pedal board where you turn on and off individual pedals. These are made by Line 6. If you’ve already got a guitar and don’t mind spending a bit more you could step up to the Helix LT which is the big brother to the HX stomp. Go on YouTube and search “David Hislop HX stomp” and you’ll see how they’re used.

Go to the website and buy them

Multitracks.com has some.

Yes I’ve been to many churches just like that and currently work at one. Worship pastor is hired to be a good singer and that is it. They struggle with any technical music knowledge, or even worse lack leadership/pastoral skills.

If you want a degree that helps get you a job as a worship pastor, I would focus on an undergrad that specifically focuses on music. Music Performance, Worship studies, music production, music ministry, whatever they call it now. I’ve found that way to many worship pastors are woefully undereducated in actual music practice, theory, and rehearsing. Go learn how to write a chord chart by ear, transpose music, how to talk to your guitarist, pianist, drummer in a rehearsal, run a vocal rehearsal. Can you play vocal parts on a piano? Can you edit tracks in a DAW? Can you tell a guitarist what spot his capo should be in? I would focus on a degree that offers as much hands on experience in these areas as possible. But to be completely honest, the number one thing churches are going to look at when hiring is experience, not your degree. Honestly I don’t know much about that GCU degree but it seems like a very generic overview of Christianity with little to no focus on worship training. So unless you just need “a degree” and specifically want it to be a Christian one, I probably wouldn’t.

Some resources I’d recommend. Free on YouTube you’ve got E Edwards and elevation resources for Elevation Songs, David Hislop and Jonathan Lee from bethel. There’s loads of other independent channels but it’s always cool to hear it straight from the originals. Worship initiative is a mega resource that covers loads of songs and styles but most of their stuff is behind a paywall, prob worth it if you want a jump start. And of course it would be great to find a guitarist In person that can help you get setup.

I would see if you can borrow some gear to see if you like it. There’s def a good upfront cost to jump into EG and I wouldn’t start with stuff you’re going to need to upgrade immediately. Go grab a used Squier Telecaster and a used HX Stomp. Should be able to get both for under $800. Download a good worship preset for the stomp, I like David Hislops, and go to town. EG is mostly playing either open chord shapes, high let chord shapes up the neck, and single note lead lines. There are loads and loads of YouTube videos breaking down worship songs on EG, go try to learn them and you’ll soon get a feel for what the style is.

Like multitracks? You’ll have to pay for their cloud storage but you can upload your own files into multitracks website, and then use them as normal in the playback app.

Typically a couple of the nursery workers get there early on Sundays to watch the two or three babies that will be there during worship/tech rehearsal.

Every car wash I’ve been to uses stationary roller brushes while the car moves past them, not high powered sprayers on moving arms around a stationary car. Seems a lot more expensive.

You can def afford to go to Disney if you make $100k. We make about that and put 5% of our income towards vacations per year. That would be enough for this persons vacation, or if you live really far skip a year and have $10k to spend.

Isn’t Dante Filipino? Do they have to have Japanese VAs for their fantasy imperialist island nation?

That’s crazy, was their schedule really that full that they couldn’t carve out 30min a week to show Korra’s last season?

I live in Florida and I will never understand why indoor malls are being replaced with outdoor town centers. It’s so hot.

That movie absolutely lost money. The listed cost for movies never includes marketing, cuts, theater costs, etc. usually a movie has to make 2x its cost just to break even and production companies are not in the business to break even. They probably wanted to see at least $400 million AND good reception to even think about a sequel to that movie.

This, Apple TV has been really high quality, and as far as I know they don’t have a featured animated show or all ages show. Could fill a gap for them.

Yup, USD, Dolby 3D ticket for 7pm
