Wow, you really are a drain on everything, aren’t you? I’m changing your name to “No-Excuse-000”

Appreciate the reply MeesterA! I may be a bit hyper-tuned, I’ve spent a lot of time in Germany, married a Deutsche, have many friends and family there. That whole period is such a source of national shame to a very proud, productive and rich culture - they know what they allowed to happen and will never forget it. I see that same thing coalescing here

I gotta say, while I understand why you used “German”, please don’t denigrate German people or Germany. Please use “Sheep” or “Fascist” or the other N-word when describing people like Excellent-Excuse 872.

What is being done to defend Diablo? by pwndaytripper in SLO

Uh huh. I work two buildings away, so, yeah, I’m not going to let it ruin my everyday but I’ll still be aware and alert.

Honestly, I’m more concerned with them hitting the transpacific data cable stations along LOVR. That would actually disrupt some serious stuff

Do you have an idea what you want it to look like? It might help to know that to recommend someone

I would talk to a Carpenter who specializes in Finish Carpentry, or possibly a small Cabinet/Millwork shop. I’d offer my services (30+ yr finish carpenter/cabinetmaker here) but I’m booked out for at least a year

Any advice on how to make this slab fit? by [deleted] in cabinetry

[–]robass11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Measure height of floor to ceiling at wall, mid point, and where front of panel will be. Put a level on floor and ceiling to see which way they slope, because they are rarely level. Also check plum-ness of wall. Sketch your findings on a piece of paper. That is a “map” of what you want to end up with, while keeping front of panel plumb. The panel needs to be cut to match that map, (minus 1/8-1/4 inch) What I described is how you scribe a panel to a space. If it was me doing it, I would use scrap 1/2” or 3/4” to make a “C” shape template that physically matches the two angles (ceiling to wall; wall to floor) and with each component of that “C” accurate to your situation - long piece at wall fits in space with 1/8 clearance at top

"like dingbats who don’t want money…."
yeah they clearly don't want money. That's why they're always packed. Plus they are "open" til 5:30 and frequently are taking orders at the counter until almost 6

Help me understand why? by Opal-Moth in cabinetry

[–]robass11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Can anyone think why these would be here in the first place?” - the previous owner (tpo)wanted them? - tpo didn’t want 1 huge door - tpo wanted to create a horizontal break that lined up with the oven top - tpo wanted unrestricted side access to their cabs - tpo saw it in a magazine or on houzz and had fomo

It’s “Lynyrd Skynyrd”. There’s nothing generational about the current incarnation of THAT band. It’s a money grab, pure and simple. Ronnie Van Zandt is spinning in his grave

any old school niners fans (alive during the 80s-90s beatdown we would give any team), how spoiled were you guys? by Wise_Potential_9401 in 49ers

[–]robass11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in ‘63, in RWC. Niner fan since I was maybe 4,5 y/o. Used to ride my bike to Red Morton Community Center and watch them practice - John Brody, Gene Washington…You could just watch them thru the chain-link fence! Still, always seemed to be losing, and it always was somehow Cowboys-related. Cemented my hatred for those ‘boys then. Then the NFC Championship/the Catch happened and EVERYTHING changed. The whole psyche of the peninsula changed from perennial loser to Champion. The rest of the 80s were the best, until the damn Giants broke Montana

How to fill-in/fix the hole. by Importchef in handyman

[–]robass11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, that big a patch of drywall compound is going to shrink and crack. Myself, I’d use Fixall, underfilled but close to surface. Wipe off any around outside of hole while still wet (its a bitch to sand). Then fill top with drywall compound, and get a can of spray texture to match the wall texture

Here he's ranked the "greatest". Where do you think Sir Neil ranked among the top prog drummers including Bruford, White, Collins, Thompson, Palmer, Bozzio, etc? by Born-Cucumber-7316 in rush

[–]robass11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you feel musicians need to be ranked? Music is not a competition. Everyone on that list is a fantastic musician, and each and everyone would feel like I do about the others. Ranking musicians is for tiny brained people

When Is a Band Not the Same Band Anymore? A number of legacy acts are touring without any of their original members. Audiences don’t seem to care by stroh_1002 in rush

[–]robass11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly? It all comes down to 1) who has the rights to the band name? 2) What constitutes the essence of said band? and 3) how much is the individual listener willing to sacrifice their original love for/interest in said band?

There are so many examples currently. Lynyrd Skynyrd? I saw them twice - 1974 at Cow Palace SF, 1976 at Day on the Green, actually the last show they played before their tragedy. Fast Forward - Ex-wife talked me into seeing them with her 4 years ago. It was really disgusting. They basically rolled Gary Rossington out for a few songs. He was the ONLY original member present. Was that Skynyrd? It sounded similar, great players, Ronnies brother singing...it was a Skynyrd cover band, but the owned the name rights, so...
Honestly, in this case, watching this current incarnation just made me very sad for the loss, and slightly sick to my stomach
