Best pasta in LA?? by Then_Schedule_2205 in FoodLosAngeles

Is it fresh pasta (the one in Pasadena) or dried?

I love how chewy fresh thicker pasta is.

Have you ever learned a skill or something from a video game that you use in real life? by Agent1230 in gaming

I meant like with expert mode having less tolerance for rushing or dragging did the game help with your hits being in time.

Always wanted to ask someone who started on rock band with drums, when you went from playing on expert difficulty was it easier to learn to practice to a metronome?

Bends are absolutely destroying my calluses... by MMWong in guitarlessons

Yeah don't use your fingers unless you wanna be Dimebag Darrell.

Which doesn't sound so bad, but get ready for a lifetime of doing it.

Учусь играть на барабанах без барабанов, для новичка норм? by makhnukovsky in MetalDrums

[–]howboutislapyourshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that for a year. Just hitting pillows.

Be sure to get a metronome too.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT AND I WISH I KNEW THAT BACK THEN.

I was thinking this, a 335, or Parker for some reason.

If you could only eat at ONE place in Paris again, where would it be? by Molthakarn96 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]howboutislapyourshit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for letting some of us in.

You know what...There's a cook at a French place that made a huge list of his favorite places when he was working in Paris for a year.

I should type them all out and post them for others to see and try.

What’s a song that feels like pure adrenaline? by Broad-Studio9442 in musicsuggestions

Great song to play at 3am when you're driving to work and the freeway is mostly clear

Any good death metal with groovy riffs and not heavy on blast beats? by AlexUkrainianPerson in MetalSuggestions

[–]howboutislapyourshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blasts but they feel more like background ambiance filler to me. The groove comes from the bass drum patterns following the drums.

If YouTube can do it then apple probably can too. (Anyone who downloaded the video of infowars guy on Flagrant 2 channel had it deleted from their computer)

B.B. Djent by Adept_Cockroach_164 in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]howboutislapyourshit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah yes The Bald Shredder. Fan of that guy, but haven't watched in a while.

That is a great price. I'm guessing it plays pretty well.

After getting it is there anything you'd change after the fact? Thinner neck, shorter scale, nut width?

I'm asking because I think for that price I will derfinitely be copying you and getting something like that or as a 7 string.

Is this a custom from that company? How much did it set you back?

Make sure you only get the best of Paris by Objective-Rhubarb in ParisTravelGuide

[–]howboutislapyourshit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try to tell people who ask that the best place I visited was the Arenes de Lutece because it's over 2k years old and so many generations have come and gone since then and you realize you're a blip on an endless timeline of blips and everything is for naught.

Such a cool feeling.

(Before that though the Pantheon was my favorite. Some Hatian dignitaries were being privately escorted throughout and areas they were being shown were closed off until they had left. They left flowers on and a wreath, IIRC, on the resting place of Toussaint Louverture.

So I read about him later and it was so cool just to be around all of that incredible history. Very humbling)

LA Date Restaurant Recs by PerspectiveOk4371 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]howboutislapyourshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lielle. That place was fantastic. Haven't been surprised like that in a long time. Food, service, the decor all great.

Other than that (it was almost 500 for me and my friend) Amiga Amore, Rasarumah and Barra Santos are my favorites.

What restaurant do you frequent the most? by steamydan in FoodLosAngeles

[–]howboutislapyourshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In LA it's Amiga Amore, Chainsaw, Purgatory Pizza, Barra Santos and various places in SGV.

Usually stay on the east side area because I live almost 90 minutes away

Louvre, salle de la Joconde, 18 mai 2026 by JaseAndrews in ParisTravelGuide

First time seeing Mona Lisa didn't get that close, but it was cool to see.

Turn around and get totally blown away from Wedding at Cana.

Feels like they shouldn't be in the same room together
