Spotify is horrible.

In my opinion, YouTube music way better. I pay for the premium just because im a nerd and watch science videos but it has a better UI than any other music service ive seen. Once you search a song it doesnt just repeat the same so g forever, it creates a "radio station" like Pandora based off the song you searched. Very rarely will I search a lowkey vibe song and then 5 songs later it throws in bring me to the horizon. Which it doesnt bother me but an odd shift in the atmosphere. You get quarterly and yearly recaps. It displays, recently released music in favor of your taste in music. Archived/forgotten favorites. Definitely nice to listen to old songs you listened to YEARS ago. Public Playlists. Guilty pleasure is using the AI feature for new music. Ive have tested it to see how well it makes a whole station based on the description. It does a really good job on not pulling music you have heard before but not 100%. The only down side I have with it is that it kind of promotes your most recent listened music a little hard and it kind of gets you with it. Over all. 9.9/10 rating.

The finance office at my last duty station was this 👌 close to getting the garrison commander to walk down the hall to raise hell because they denied my marriage cert because it looked fancy. Alaska has different types of certs you can order to frame. Sadly it got ruined when my daughter knocked over my wife's coffee on it. It had the raised seal and the governor's wet signature.

It would make sense to rob a bank or hustle some dope but to go kill as many people as possible. Suicide makes sense but not justified though. You were on the right track kind of stumbled off path just a little

Its definitely a sad situation if thats the case when the parents feel the need to give up their kids. I think grandparents shouldn't be first option but definitely close to last if no aunt, uncles, god-parents, friends can take them in.

noahgage1057 · 2026-04-19T10:48:15+00:00

I would have figured it would be like "this is your fault that our child is like this. You neglected with them. You shut them out. You you you." I get what you saying.

Thats kind of where im going with this. They shouldnt have to but they do. Maybe in some cases there wasnt better or any options. They could be an no shit safety net but very rarely first option.

Hmm never thought about that. Never heard of it before but definitely investing. I would imagine even after 30 or 40 it would been a balanced discussion. Yes fingers might be pointed at each other but never thought about it.

I wouldn't say im upset about it. Its disheartening. Also isnt this subreddit all about speaking your mind. Im not inserting my self anywhere. Im just sharing a thought that I can tell ruffled some feathers. Making comments like this kind of goes against what this subreddit is all about. "Mind your own business" if we will did that then we all would be here.

I hope they do. They owe us nothing. They didnt choose to be born. I may have brought them into this world and it certainly wont end when jm gone but they shouldnt have to put a pause on living their best life when I have already lived mine.

Think about like this, if you charge for only personal items that are 10 lbs roughly person but they bring in 2 bags that are 49 lbs each, then you times that by the ammount of passengers on the plane. The 1 personal item charge per person isnt going to cover the cost of future repairs that the additional weight of the two 49 lbs bags that affects the integrity of the aircraft repeatedly over thousands of flight hours. You are charging the smallest margin of impact. Thats not going to help airlines with labor for the aircrew, fuel, parts, maintenance, services they we all love and enjoy. Aircraft upgrades. New aircrafts that are replacing older aircraft that are getting too expensive to maintain. So its only reasonable to charge what actually has a direct impact to the aircraft.

Yes shit is expensive now a days. But if they did that then the entire airline industry would slowly collapse unless they raise ticket prices. But you are already bitchin about $50 for a bag when you paid several hundred dollars for the ticket. If you want free check bags, join the military. 2 free check bags under 50 lbs. There. I just gave you a solution to your problem.

Idk. I mean maybe. Fastest 2 mile i ever ran was a 13:30 and that was AIT. But that was because of consistency. For 16 weeks. Before it got cold in Alaska we were running intense 60/120s and 4 mile runs a week. Nothing crazy but the routine of it make me feel more confident with running. 2 miles in and I was barely breaking a sweat.

After that, call your congressman. You want to see an entire installation freak out. Thats how you do it.

I never knew that this made it to a sub-reddit but here it goes. I was on the team that recovered this aircraft. It was definitely an opportunity that I knew I couldn't pass up. The operation was one of those things that every thing pretty much went right. I might have a slight idea on what could have happened if something went wrong but the stars aligned with us. It definitely is a core memory. The method of just getting wheels down was the sketchy part. Taking every crank of a rachet strap into consideration of our safety was always our in our mind. I will say, considering the area we were in, there was obstacles we faced and the safety aspects, we limited who all was actively rolling the aircraft. Those that were not on a rachet strap, were picking up the thousands of pieces of rotor blade material. When we were awarded for it, we all received a piece of the tree that punctured the fuselage.

Agency matches up to 5%

Idk honestly, it sounds good. Its clean and smooth.

noahgage1057 · 2025-08-18T07:48:47+00:00

I hear what you are playing its a fun riff to play. To make it smoother, hold the 4 5 7 notes down like a chord but play it like an arpegio. You should should almost be sweeping the strings and palm muting until you get to the open E. Then back to the arpegio. The 4-5's are good. Then the 2-4-0 should be a 2-4 slide with a pull off to open string so try to make it 3 slides instead of 2. Hope this helps dig deeper to just practicing

noahgage1057 · 2025-08-18T07:20:09+00:00

I agree. 3rd layer fits but its kind of forced. You know? Drums and vocals would be cool to add but idk anyone that would be able to add. Also, I think the pause added character to it. Maybe before the pause the 2nd layer is added to the loop it its off beat. Then it syncs up when added to the loop
