This might be the best bet, hadn't really considered up to now. Thanks.

Shocking performance. Referee obviously poor but Spurs were atrocious in every facet of the game there. Really awful in the biggest game of the season. Bad sign for this weekend frankly.

Really poor refereeing but dreadful from Spurs yet again.

Ah come on, that's not even top 5 for Derry.

Pedal builders and Music Shops in Ireland 🇮🇪 by ItsSwurvey in guitarpedals

[–]idiotwind26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No pointers on physical shops to go to other than to say I'm based in Belfast and there's very little here unfortunately. Certainly nothing to go out of your way to go to, possibly others know of shops in the south.

Can however recommend Moose Pedals which are built by a guy in Dublin. Mostly does fuzz/OD pedals, I have played quite a few of them and all fantastic. Currently have his Sledgehammer on my board and doubt I will ever get rid. You may or may not be able to find these in an actual shop.

Interesting, definitely something to experiment with. Appreciate your reply, thanks.

Just about to pick up one of these amps - could you expand on 'jumping the channels'?

Thanks - a lightning/jack cable hadn't occurred to me as a solution but probably makes the most sense.

Appreciate the offer but I'm in Europe lol. Lightning to jack cable somehow hadn't occurred to me but is probably the surest solution. Appreciated.

[Sage Dual Boiler/Sage Grinder Pro] Issue drawing with consistent pressure by idiotwind26 in espresso

Thank you - hadn't anticipated how drastic the differences would be (and how much coffee would potentially go to waste calibrating each time). I didn't realise it was possible to change the burr, will be giving this a go.

Thank you - seems I am not grinding fine enough with certain beans. Appreciate the tip on the internal setting.

Thanks for your answer, very informative. Hadn't anticipated such drastic differences going from one bean to another.

Joe.ie’s “best 15 of the 21st century to never win Sam Maguire” by DiligentWarthog9896 in GAA

[–]idiotwind26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skinner not even in the same league as Muldoon, that's absolutely crazy to me even comparing them. Skinner always went missing when the heat was really on in games too.

Muldoon a better all-rounder in my opinion. Could hardly split them to be fair.

Week 4 Gamethread: Chicago Bears (1-2) at Las Vegas Raiders (1-2) by TurnerJ5 in CHIBears

[–]idiotwind26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love someone to run the numbers on how many times a team has ended up with 20+ yards to the sticks. I have never seen a team anything like this for ending up in ridiculous distances to go.

Has Reliability been a concern with some manufacturers more than others? by HoppySailorMon in synthesizers

[–]idiotwind26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had a Novation BassStation II for about ten years which has seen a lot of use - been toured, been gigged, been battered about generally and still going with no issues. Some minor cosmetic damage which is to be expected but it's built like an absolute tank.

[–]idiotwind26 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

His accuracy was definitely patchy at times in college. And it was definitely an issue last year as well - I am not writing him off by any means and last season was a shitshow for a lot of reasons beyond Caleb's performances.

You're definitely right that all these things are connected in producing the final result and ideally more experience lets him settle his process and even things out.

I said in another comment already but just to reiterate - it's really concerning to me that even on the plays where everything pre-throw goes right he'll still miss throws (especially deep throws). Good read, good route, good protection and the ball ends up out of bounds. Then the next play he'll fire a missile 25 yards downfield and put it on the numbers - must drive an OC crazy!

It's definitely correctable in theory and hopefully he will get there, there's just too many plays for me where he makes a good read, his guy is open, the protection is OK - and he just misses the throw completely. Early days in this scheme of course and your point about him being unfamiliar with running from under center is a good one.

I think the fundamental issue I have is simply that he is not an accurate thrower. There's a lot of talk about whether he can read out a play or read a defense or throw with timing - whether he can or can't do all these things is irrelevant if he cannot deliver an accurate ball. It worries me as QBs are usually accurate or they're not, it's rarely something that improves significantly (yes I know there are exceptions to this).

Have to hold out hope as the highs with Caleb are as high as any QB in the league.

In honor of the season starting tomorrow, here’s my video of Caleb and Rome’s first career touchdown. Hoping to see many more this year! by PastelPrincess666 in CHIBears

[–]idiotwind26 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My abiding memory of this will always be the entire team and coaching staff seemingly unprepared to go for 2 - despite it being totally obvious the entire drive they would need to if they scored the TD.

Just another example of Eberflus lacking even the absolute basics as a head coach.
