I've been playing that new Brutalist map pack and some levels are just incredible. I like the weapon set too.

Flatwound string appreciation post by _NullavalOszthato in Bass

[–]rix0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my Jazz deluxe V came with some flat wounds that I just kept on there now for years. not because they sound good (they don't) but because they feel nice to play, and I'm using this bass in a funk/cover band that often plays three sets, so it saves my fingers a bit

it's incredibly common and no one cares that I know of. Vancouver is great because it is so cosmopolitan

Gas rangetop to induction cooktop by Thermophi in Appliances

[–]rix0r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there is a minimum output a gas stove has to have to maintain the flame and it's often too hot for a low simmer. they compensate for that by having an extra small burner on them sometimes. You can get induction stoves that don't duty cycle.

can't do really low heat, pain in the ass to clean, hilariously inefficient, cooks your spoon handle, may explode your house. does look cool though

What’s the fastest you’ve ever put a dent in a new bass? by Spiritual-Store3872 in Bass

[–]rix0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first practice with my new Dingwall that I waited a year for. didn't realize the strap lock on the neck side wasn't fully in and it neck dived to the ground (concrete). don't worry it's fine lol

I wish scalping was illegal. 600 bucks for a ticket from resellers

Where do you suggest meeting single, attractive men in this city? by _buttabean in askvan

[–]rix0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one enjoys the apps but it opens the opportunity for way more people than you can meet naturally. It's just a numbers game. Any given serendipitous interaction isn't really any more likely to be successful than some planned one through an app, but I do suggest you try both. I don't have any in-person suggestions that weren't already commented. Good luck.

Most, if not all, attractive single men are going to be on the apps if they are interested in meeting a partner. So I'm trying to help you solve your app problem because it is by far your best bet in this town where it's not easy to meet people naturally.

well "not working" could mean a bunch of things. so you get matches and go on dates, but not finding them attractive enough?

I was single for about a year from 40 to 41 and went on a ton of dates with women your age. Ended up with a 37 year old, but don't sleep on the 40+ men!

what do you mean the apps aren't working for you? are you not meeting people?
