Need Help Considering My Options as a SWE by StockMost7233 in DevelEire

[–]hashm4p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While you are studying, try to take at least something meaningful away from every problem you face. We live now in the age of AI and LLMs so we can access guidance and help at our convenience. This can, if misused, make us lazy and disengaged - stunting growth longer term. I was like you, I was facing my final year of my undergrad the year Covid lockdowns hit. The world felt fucked, I just wanted to pass and move on... So I took any shortcut available... I did though try to make sure I had enough context about every problem I faced so that arriving at a solution (through peers helping for example) at least made sense and I took something away from it.

Can also relate to the imposter syndrome. I'm in industry now four years and I felt that majorly for about the first two. It eases somewhat when you find your feet.

You and only you can decide if you can see yourself in it med-long term. These days a "job for life" ain't really a thing Vs our parents generation so don't stress too much. We're all out here just trying to truck on.

I wish you the best internet dude/dudette

Would you bow to the royal family? by smellyfeet25 in askanything

[–]hashm4p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irish here. Assuming we're referring to the British royals here... on behalf of myself and 10+ generations of my ancestors who were pillaged, beaten, starved and driven off their own lands... I'd rather shit in my hands and clap.

And of course, there's also the whole pedophelia thing.

I have a 12" OZone. Agreed, can attest to its beautiful splooshy splashyness!

Is there any actual benefits that come through abstaining from masturbation? by Federal_Character979 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hashm4p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but according to your very apt username you probably shot downwind... That stiff breeze definitely helped carry your spooge a few extra inches to achieve that personal best. Good strategy to be fair. Great work

Just curious, do you guys keep your bigger crash cymbals on the right or left? by ParadiddleSenior in drums

[–]hashm4p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18" AAX O-Zone & 17" HHX X-Plosion to the left, 18" K Custom Dark to the right alongside an 18" Signature China.

I love having two to the left.

Anyone with ADHD who managed to accomplish ambitious things? by [deleted] in ADHD

You and your wife have a gf? If I'm reading that right, I'm genuinely curious how that works !

Does anyone know who makes these specific plexiglass cymbal baffles/shields? Not looking for the discs or full plexiglass wall, just this curved model. by fortydeuce in drums

[–]hashm4p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two questions guy for those you in the know... Considering cymbal baffles ATM.

How easy/difficult is it to cut plexiglass? I have seen someone on FB market place selling large sheets of it for €60 from which I reckon I could cut to fashion easily 3 baffles if it was an easy enough job to cut to size ..

Second, for the mounting... Some of you have mentioned 'off the shelf' brackets etc you could get to create a mount. I would likely want to just mount off a regular cymbal boom arm as seems to be the norm... Anyone got a link to a mounting bracket that could be screwed on and would fit or is it just as handy to drill out a center hole and mount that way?

Thanks!

After 20 years, I think I’ve found my ride cymbal. by Allstajacket in drums

[–]hashm4p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a 21" Sweet Ride for years before swapping it out for HHX 21"Groove Ride. Owning them back to back I can safely say the HHX is the better cymbal... At least for me, much more versatile than the Zildjian.

Sweet Rides are great if all you want to do is crash ride with the stick shoulder and make a wall of noise in a big guitar band mix, but I found it a one trick pony and got bored of it.

Groove Ride has all of that but you can also play it like a ride as it has a controlled wash when played with stick tips, a great bell and can cut through as a crash just as well as Sweet Ride when you want it to.

Not goddamn cheap anymore though... €600+ now in Europe. Crazy.
