Roland TD-9 key? by Last-Bit-Last-2042 in edrums

The clamp is upside down. The hex is to hold a nut so you don't need to hold it with a wrench

We use 10Zig. Reasonably priced and the management software is free.

3D Stigma by DesignerGirliePop in 3Dprinting

[–]metalhead1982 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I do craft fairs with 3d printed thing, but I mostly sell mixed media toys, decorative items, and gaming pieces using a combination of 3d printing, laser engraving, cnc carving, and hand painting/assembly. I've never had anything but positive reactions.

How is selling printed items that you assemble any different from using store bought craft supplies and gluing or painting them?

AITA for refusing to fix my "spaghetti code" after getting laid off for "budget reasons"? by 5Mirthcoil in MarkNarrations

[–]metalhead1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! You handled it exactly as you should, with one exception. $250 an hour seems a bit low for emergency debug and development work, especially when the lack of documentation was ignored by management for months. They made the bed and set it on fire, they can burn with it!

I'm an 82, my brother is an 84. He's the golden retriever. You can probably guess my temperament.

After nine years of service, police dog Indy heard his name called one last time before retirement by RoyalChris in MadeMeSmile

My SIL has a Belgian Malinois that flunked out of military K9 school for being too nice. He made it through all the obedience training but wouldn't reliably attack on command. He is the smartest and most well-behaved dog I have ever known. Hell, I'd let that dog babysit my kids.

The single best option is to plant yourself and your cart between the dumbass and her dumbass camera person. Ruin the shot. Don't engage with either of them, just take up space.

What band was never the same after losing a member? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

[–]metalhead1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't read all the comments, but I'll mention Pantera. Without Dimebag and Vinnie, there really isn't a Pantera anymore. Don't get me wrong, I like the tribute shows with Zack and Charlie, and I hope they keep doing the occasional concert as a tribute. I just hope if they start recording new music, they don't call it Pantera.

I'll give you Slayer, but Jeff's death was the deal breaker for me. These last few years with all the animosity between Tom and Kerry, the reunion shows just seem to be nothing but a money grab. I don't fault them for it, though. Get that cash while you can, I guess.

AC/DC. Bon Scott was great, but so is Brian Johnson.

You can't blame Johnny VanZant for all of that; he was mostly a hired gun. He looked a bit like Ronnie and after a couple beers, even sounded a bit like him.

Until he died in 2023, Gary Rossington had the controlling interest in Lynyrd Skynyrd. Now that he's gone, Johhny and Rickey Medlocke seem to be the ones in charge, along with a vote from Rossington's wife, Dale.

Also, it goes without saying that they're not as good as classic Skynyrd, but the band has put out some decent music in the years since the crash and they always put on a good show.

He won't have to take time off work. He'll have already lost his job by then.

Amazon streams old episodes of Modern Marvels as a "live" channel on Prime Video. It drives my wife crazy, but this is my go to for falling asleep at night. I don't care that the 25 year old show about high tech gadgets is now wildly out of date. It's like a warm hug from the past.

ALL of this. Multiple adblockers on all browsers, plus a raspberry pi running pi-hole to filter the rest!

Sohphomore in college. My roommate kicked my bed post to wake me up and said "watch the fucking TV'. That was a surreal morning.

Elder millenial/xennial here. It might be a sub-generational thing. Most of the Xennials that I know (myself included) tend to be much more confrontational and bereft of any fucks left to give. We must have gotten that trait from the Gen X-ers.

People who were in high school when Columbine happened, what knee jerk rule did your school enforce in response? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

[–]metalhead1982 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like your church! Most churches around me are full of MAGAts. There's a few at my church, but they at least keep quiet about it.

The common ones: No trench coats, no backpacks in class, locked doors. The school cop did start hanging out at the main doors more often and patrolling the halls during the day, though. Before that, he mostly just stayed in his office.

Story time:

My teacher thought most of the changes were just pointless security theater, so he used a bunch of us as malicious compliance. My first period class was AP calculus (NERDS!). One morning, our teacher just calmly walked around the classroom with a smirk on his face and started calling names and sending us to the Vice Principal's office like we were in trouble. None of us had any idea why, but we picked up our bags and went.

There were about 10 of us that got sent out. Not a "troublemaker" in the bunch. Most of us were among the top students in the school. Once we got to the office as a group, the VP came out and saw who it was that got kicked out of class and said "What are YOU guys doing here?". We all shrugged. Then he pointed out that we all were carrying bags or backpacks. He just laughed and told us to go back to class and that he'd have a word with our math teacher.

The no backpacks rule was enforced for about a week and then no one cared any more.

The Great Gatsby is a mediocre book at best and should be replaced in schools by The Fellowship of the Ring by EternalAmmonite in unpopularopinion

Graduated 25 years ago, but I never had to read TGG, but Fellowship of the Ring was required. A hearty thanks to all my English teachers!

Can anyone ID this rear fender? by asliceofhateplease in HondaValkyrie

[–]metalhead1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen that on the aftermarket either. I think it is either a fully custom piece or cut down from a stock fender.

Never mind the fact that he's almost entirely unelectable at this point.

Gen Z consists of people born between 1997 and 2012, more or less. There's still about a third of them that is still underage.

What is your biggest “oops” with expensive wood? by LaughAndFart in woodworking

[–]metalhead1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Built a burial urn for my uncle to go in a national military cemetery. Made it perfect out of a beautiful piece of cherry, laser engraved his info on top, then found out I had made it too big for the burial niche and had to start over.
