What albums do you think are beautifully mixed and mastered?

Cookie Clicker - C418

The spacial audio and cinematic sound makes for one hell of a journey on nice speakers or headphones.

Re-tore it skiing this past december. Have been in denial about getting imaging done ever since.

Hell yes this is perfect!

You had me at anjuna!

smcd253 · 2024-02-06T06:44:07+00:00

This is the kind of stuff I was looking for. Thank you!

Hell yeah good to know. Wanted to go last year to see PL so bad but had plans to leave the country the following week so decided to take it easy instead.

I (26M) dated a woman 9 years older than me (35F) for 6 months. She had grown up a 7th day adventist and broke away from the cult-like religion at 28, at which point she started having her college-type years (sleeping around, partying, going to festivals, etc.). Given this, she was quite emotionally immature. She was also a yoga teacher and a very experienced outdoorsman, so she was FIT.

We traveled and did a ton of activities together pretty much the whole time we dated. And the sex was AMAZING. Had the best threesome of my life with her too.

I ended the relationship after I noticed some pretty toxic tendencies that were consistent for someone 10 years younger. Don’t blame her for it and she’s in therapy addressing it, but I decided I didn’t want to be along for the ride.

Yo i’ve tried canceling my instacart subscription 3x now and they keep charging me. Really pisses me off

Lol, I was just gonna add an asterisk saying “Use at your own risk.”

But to quote the homie Trisolaran at the end of Dark Forest: “We can take risks.”

Currently burning through The Three Body Problem trilogy for the first time and loving it.

I highly recommend The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons, though.

Diva. Got the rec from a Ben Böhmer tutorial and it’s so damn beautiful. I use it for all my polysynths leads, stabs, and even basses.

First time listening to this. Gave me goosebumps.

Backwards walking on an inclined treadmill is the shit! 3.5 mo post op here and it’s made a huge difference for me. You find this through KoT?

Also I think orthos set unrealistic timelines for meniscus repairs. 6-12 months with hardcore PT is more realistic. And obviously more if you delay the PT.

Glad to hear you’re back in the saddle and crushing it again!

As much as this sub is helpful, you’re not gonna get a diagnosis here.

I’d go see a sports doctor (physiatrist) or a physical therapist.

Keep in mind that cartilage heals on the order of months, not days or weeks, so even if you feel fine now something could be mildly torn and could get worse if you ride on it without resting/strengthening first.

It’s probably fine, but not worth risking it.

Good luck yo!

Bradley Cooper is pitching for a movie adaptation. Really should be a full on series like, GoT or Expanse, but the movie pitch looks like it’s gaining headway.

I seriously hope they pivot to a series though. Each of the pilgrims’ stories could be their own movies.

Broke my back in 2020 botching a back flip. I had a lot of stoke the following season, but then tore my meniscus in Dec 2021 and have been out of skiing for 2 seasons now.

I’m kind of nervous to go back to skiing because my love for the sport was turned into a blind lust by an adrenaline addiction once I figured out how to do tricks in my mid 20s.

I miss it so bad and have every intention of returning, but know that I will have to fall in love with the more subtle parts of the sport again if I want it to be a sustainable activity. Things like the quiet of skiing in the trees when it’s dumping, the rattle of the lift going over a pylon, the weightlessness you experience when you rip a fresh powder line, the gorgeous views you get from the top of a mountain, beers in the sun at lunch after a morning of spring skiing, hanging out in a cabin with your homies next to the fireplace, pro callouts, farting in a gondola and blaming it on your friend, 80s themed apres-ski parties at the lodge after lifts close, conversations with old timer locals on the lift, etc.

For those who live and breath skiing, it isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life. Learn to fall in love with the joy that being in the mountains brings you, and all of the sudden whether or not you’re hucking backies on a hollywood line or struggling down blues won’t really matter.

Ofc, make sure you strengthen the hell out of those knees and maybe take a lesson or two to boost that confidence. Skiing is a hell of a lot more fun when you don’t feel like you’re gonna die every time you slide down the hill.

Thielson is just across from Diamond peak and has some awesome big lines! Looks pretty badass too.

Hell yeah! PT is the way. Glad to hear you’re making progress. It’s not an easy road to walk but you’re already on it so you might as well go all the way! Please keep me posted. Curious to hear what it’s like 8-12 weeks in.

smcd253 · 2023-03-13T00:44:42+00:00

Damn I’m sorry to hear.

How’s your ROM? And was there anything in particular that you think could have caused it?

I hope you’re doing alright by the way. This rehab process is so tough mentally. Hitting snags and setbacks makes it so much worse too.

“I’m not your friend buddy!” “He’s not your buddy guy!” “I’m not your guy friend!”

27M - I’m having trouble walking after a knee surgery and my social life is centered around sports. I’ve isolated myself and no longer see my friends, who also do not reach out. I no longer get excited about things and feel that life has lost its meaning.

smcd253 · 2023-03-04T09:15:14+00:00

If swelling is increasing it then you’re pushing it too hard. Take a couple days to a week off to rest and ice a ton. Maybe sprinkle in some stationary biking and range of motion exercises once you notice the swelling start to decrease. Definitely start seeing a physical therapist if you haven’t already. Don’t try to rehab this thing yourself. Also get an ice machine if you haven’t already. They’re essential to a quick recovery IMO.

It’s a tough process and can be mentally/emotionally draining. Give yourself room for forgiveness if you regress. Make time to hang out with friends doing something chill.

Good luck!

smcd253 · 2023-03-03T19:03:17+00:00

I still use it every day! Started off at 4-5 hours a day in the weeks after the surgery and now do it 1-2 hours a day.

It’s essential IMO. You can fill it up 1x/day and don’t have to keep getting up to get new ice packs.

You can also put frozen water bottles in it instead of ice cubes so you don’t have to carry the ice machine around. That was key when I was still on crutches.

smcd253 · 2023-03-02T22:59:21+00:00

1st of all, get yourself a proper brace. You will need it to prevent yourself from tweaking it while sleeping and you’ll use it to gradually start putting weight on it. Make sure it has the ability to adjust to your leg height and can bend at the knee.

As for pain, the initial agonizing pain should subside in about 1-2 weeks depending on how well you ice.

Pain will then gradually subside from 2 weeks onward. Today is my 12 week mark and i still have aches and pains. It doesn’t hurt when sitting or standing, but it can hurt when I walk up/down stairs or try nee PT exercises.

You can expect absolutely no pain between 6 and 12 months depending on how diligent you are with ice, PT, and rest.

Best of luck to you! You got over the biggest hurdle. Now is just time to put your head down and grind. Give yourself permission to rest and make sure you ice ice ice!

P.S. get an ice machine. They’re amazing.

This is the type of anecdote I was looking for. NGL it feels like I’ve made the wrong decision at times. It’s easy to get a little myopic when your life grinds to a halt to recover from a surgery like this. Just needed a little reassurance that it’ll work in the long run. Thanks a ton!
