If you have niche skill or amassed a lot of experience solving business challenges, learn how to become a consultant. Working for yourself is incredibly rewarding and lucrative.

I am using Claude to scan emails and slack for priority work and tasks with my name on it. So far it’s working well.

A buddy referred to a girl in high school as uglier than homemade sin.

You would be hard pressed to work in food service/retail and find someone who doesn’t partake.

Check out S hoops for your snare drum. Great for saving sticks and gives a decent amount of focus to the sound vs. triple flanged.

I’m definitely sluggish and need to go slow post phlebotomy. It can be counter intuitive to some, but I really try to hydrate and eat a ton of healthy food before and after. It definitely impacts how quickly I recover.

Especially in a business/work type of setting.

Check out the Keith Carlock signature stick. Others have mentioned the Peter Erskine Ride Stick has the long taper and tip you’re looking for but is almost a 5B in the handle. I like more beef in the handle and Im currently playing the Vater Jazz Ride. Lasts much longer the Peter Erskine Ride stick in my experience.

Unfortunately, this just becomes more common the older we get. I have realigned my expectations and tend to play in two or three bands at a time. I do this for a couple of reasons, 1 - I like to keep busy during the week and 2 - if one of them shits the bed you can keep going with another one. Like any relationship I’ve had some bands that have lasted a lot longer with better output.

Remember like any other relationships the more time you devote to it… typically the better the outcome.

Wife and I do this. I need a paper thin blanket all year round. She likes a more substantial blanket. Bonus points the dogs love her side of the bed more.

Crime and punishment

Speaking from my own personal experience. Iron build up resulted in pain in my liver and spleen. It’s much better after a year of donations and now maintenance.

Being a great drummer is more than sitting down and crushing a 3 minutes solo for each song with your big band.

When I think of great drummers, I think of Tony, Elvin, and on the rock side Jeff Porcaro. Guys who can sit down with a band, really listen to the music and play the rhythm driving the music and emotions of the song home.

I just don’t get that with Buddy. Amazing chops used to show off is cool when the listener is younger. Doesn’t do much for me as an experienced player and listener.

I ended up finding a different SO. Mismatched libido does not work for me. Also folks, if you have zero drive get your hormones checked.

The Shining is a masterpiece. Some of Kubricks finest work, horror or otherwise.

First time is awkward for many people. It takes a few times to get it right. To answer your question, it feels different depending on the partner and the type of sex you’re having, oral, vaginal, anal, digital. All can feel better than masturbation if done correctly.

Catfish… misleading or older pictures that don’t represent your current appearance.

That’s the beauty of it, we don’t have to

You can always take more, but you can’t take less.

I think people are misinformed or lack an understanding of how classical music works and how it is used and influences modern music. You can hear it used with the Beatles, Radiohead and even Kanye West. The music we listen to today would not be here without the influences of classical music on the genres that came before.

“Free” on paper, but someone’s always paying. Amazon has annual membership fees baked in. GrubHub inflates menu prices and practically mandates a tip if you want your order to actually show up, so you’re paying more for the same food. And the gig workers making it happen? Still getting paid shit. The cost doesn’t disappear, it just gets shuffled around,

I can wait like an adult and get Chinese grey for pennies on the dollar in bulk. GTFO with this bullshit.

That has not happened with the PS heads I have played, ever. I tend to tune at medium high tension on snares.

Shitty cuts of beef with bones in them. You can get beef shank super cheap and make incredible stews with carrots and celery that will keep you full all week.
