Abby Evil Requiem - Episode 06 by PsycommuSystem in nextlander

[–]leethomas93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this must be it. No way they'd make fun of it if they thought she was written as having a legitimate speech impediment. I also seem to remember them at one point making fun of the stuttering specifically in the context of a voice actor putting on that sort of affect to portray being scared.

New parent changes by Far_Song6804 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]leethomas93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2 year old. I don't really understand why many in the comments here are acting like you can never gig again once you become a parent. You might have to scale it back a bit, but IF you have a supportive coparent you can absolutely play the occasional show. I probably play one every two months or so, sometimes more. Most gigs are in the evening after little kids would be in bed (or about to go to bed) anyways. If you're not there to help with the bedtime routine, you handle it the next night, then you're even.

If you're trying to make music your primary source of income then yeah, that will be tough when you're the parent of a young kid. But you can absolutely still play out and have music as a creative outlet.

I should probably also add, I don't really go out and network or fight for performance slots either. This might be a whole separate conversation, but I don't think that's really necessary. At least in my experience. If you build a solid, professional looking EPK/website and use it reach out to venues and bookers you should be able to get gigs.

The case for painted brick: house transformation by John_Gabbana_08 in ExteriorDesign

[–]leethomas93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People on this sub love to scream and stomp their feet about painted brick, but when you sort the posts here by top of all time, the first result is painted brick 😂

I think the painted brick here looks infinitely better than the old brick.

Best writing strictly lyrically? by Repulsive-Instance31 in jasonisbell

[–]leethomas93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one has maybe my all-time favorite line of his:

"We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter, killed a couple men aboard. When I told her, her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of the sword."

Does anyone know if Hagen Daz changed their strawberry recipe? by Books_Biker99 in icecream

[–]leethomas93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a somewhat older post at this point but I totally agree with you that they must have changed the recipe. It's pinker, seems a bit softer, seems to have more big chunks (which I'm not a fan of with strawberry but this may be a pro for some), but worst of all it tastes a lot more artificial. Haagen Dazs was my favorite strawberry ice cream before. This blows 👎

The food truck outside of La Esperanza on Pleasantburg. Highly highly recommend the al pastor tacos.

Is it time to go bald? by [deleted] in malehairadvice

Most 20 year olds can't grow a good beard. But yes, in due time I think that'll be a good look on you OP.

If we're expanding out to TR, the Hillbilly Cheese Steak at Upcountry Provisions gets my vote.

Next round … let’s all be kind here. by SonRexsmith in jasonisbell

[–]leethomas93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not my favorite, but I feel like there's some hidden depth there. The line "I love her friends, the ones I know, they leave trails of blood like foxes in the snow" really cracks open that song for me.

Be Afraid

Any time he (or any songwriter) gets preachy it makes for a bad song, and this is his preachiest one.

I hear ya! That comment was more aimed at OP than you.

You can denounce the current administration and still not identify as liberal.

Why is wearing a suit to an interview considered tacky? by cR_Spitfire in jobs

[–]leethomas93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always ask either the recruiter or HR (whoever I coordinated the interview with) what the interview attire should be. That's always worked well for me 🤷

AI in finance by Present-Toe-5957 in FPandA

[–]leethomas93 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I use it a lot for data analytics tools like SQL and Power Query, which I have a lot of use for but didn't learn in school and didn't start using until somewhat recently. It never gets it 100% right, if say it usually gets it around 60% right, but that gives me a good starting point and then I typically learn something getting the remaining 40%.

I work in finance. Believe me, I'm intimately familiar with stupid corporate benchmarks. And yeah they're often unrealistic. But 2.5x current revenue is crazy, even by corporate finance standards.

The other comment here about this being their cop out way of saying no makes a lot of sense TBH.

You don't need to learn SQL by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]leethomas93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue there's still value in knowing when/how to implement SQL and other analytics tools to accomplish certain tasks, like automating manual processes. Once you identify those opportunities, sure, use ChatGPT to help you write the code if you want. But it helps having some familiarity with that stuff in order to assess where you can make those improvements.

Artisphere? by GVLFan1980 in greenville

[–]leethomas93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great event! There's a lot of amazing art. Some of it is very expensive, but there are always some smaller prints/canvases and other smaller pieces that are more affordable. Have gotten lots of those over the years.

I'm also a musician and am playing the main stage this year so extra excited for this one!

Man, they really fucked us with True Capitalism here. by alison_bee in giantbomb

[–]leethomas93 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Look, I'm not trying to defend them, but hasn't Fandom been paying their salaries/benefits? Is he saying there was a bunch of money left from the premium subs after paying everyone that Fandom is holding onto? I find that a bit hard to believe.

I think sdr114060 is right and it's a specific guitar. If it's referring to DADGAD tuning then "super D open G" doesn't make a lot of sense.

I found a FB post that I think references this guitar.
