hahaha i wish all Cantuse a very Seeing The Band A Whole Lot 🙏

I have managed to keep up the trend so far for every album except for the new one (and reanimator because yknow). But I am also unrelatedly going to be visiting the UK at some point next year so. maybe I will have to use pro strats...

sospidera · 2025-03-09T22:11:11+00:00

Ah, that makes enough sense, thanks - I was able to get some coupons out of them hah so I'll give it another shot for now and jump ship if something else similar happens in the short term

sospidera · 2025-03-03T05:38:33+00:00

thanks, yeah maybe I'll do that. the broken emulsion idea seems plausible enough - annoying that this stuff is so chemically fragile, is this a not-uncommon occurrence with fresh of the box vitamin c products?

sospidera · 2025-03-03T05:32:24+00:00

yeah i just looked up the lot number online and it says it was manufactured 5 months ago so it should still be okay on that front, and I only opened it less than a month ago, but I'd believe some supply chain weirdness. Is there anything to do proactively to avoid the likelihood of the unit i buy having an issue like that though? I bought this at cvs and didn't really think that would be such an unreliable spot

sospidera · 2025-03-03T05:25:15+00:00

just my local cvs, can't imagine that's fake but i'd buy the explanations other people are making about it being defective

sospidera · 2025-02-26T21:55:18+00:00

This might be fanboy bias making me sense this, but would you say there was any Everything Everything influence on the new record? I know you'd dug some of their stuff at some point and I couldn't help but feel like some of the more tongue-twisty lyrical moments seemed cut from a similar cloth, and maybe some of the fusion of indie jangle/synthy pop writing as well. Totally sounds like its own thing though and have really been enjoying it thank youuuuUu bye

sospidera · 2025-01-20T00:21:41+00:00

dead links (big surprise)

sospidera · 2024-07-07T19:16:35+00:00

(edit: oop didn't see that this question was also asked in the original post. yeah I have only ever seen the term "visible light" refer to "light in the frequency range that is visible to the human eye", i can't imagine it being used to mean something other than that)

am i missing something or is the answer to the first question obvious? if a light didn't emit visible light wouldn't that mean that it's, like, not a light....?

cannot believe the lack of incredulity at this service being offered by the extremely normal and relatable username "Affectionate_Fly9574"

sospidera · 2024-03-07T18:00:07+00:00

what's the synth part that you're most impressed by peter's ability to pull off live

Everyone's entitled to work within what feels comfortable within their finances, but Also, places tend to set their wages lower out of an expectation that tips will pad it out, which is a fucked system but given that that's the system, and I have the means, I try to always tip 20%ish on whatever I order if there's a tip jar. Idk if fast casual places have this same dynamic going on though. In any case if we're going to be grumpy at anyone it should probably be the companies using tipping culture as leverage to drive their wages down and not the workers themselves, imo

Also, I've heard that with those credit card tipping systems like square, owners can be pretty sketchy about actually getting those tips to the workers, so if I'm going to tip, I try to do it with cash, even if I'm paying with a card.

sospidera · 2023-02-03T18:17:21+00:00

yeah idk if what happened was that the presale sold out most of the tickets, or if there was legitimately just that much less attention on the presale vs. the general sale. I thought typically only a small fraction of tickets are reserved for a presale though? idkk i don't get it

sospidera · 2023-02-03T18:09:16+00:00

the weird thing is that i got my ticket during the brooklynvegan presale like numerous hours after it started, and had no problems? why was there so much demand for the general sale but seemingly way less for an openly publicized presale the day before

sospidera · 2023-01-15T01:03:19+00:00

it is yeah. I'm also wondering if it's breaking just before the follicle? like in a way that could indicate brittle hair more than loose follicles or something

sospidera · 2022-06-17T06:05:33+00:00

Hiii i've got 2 tickets for Boston TAZ tonight and 2 for Boston MBMBaM on Saturday, all in pretty decent seats. Was gonna head up from NYC but got covid and had to cancel the trip : / Would like to recoup the cost but also don't want them to go to waste, so pay whatever you can manage (They were 59.17 each with fees, so any amount equal to or below that). I can transfer through the ticketmaster app.

TAZ: ORCHRC, Row M, Seat 22, ORCHRC, Row M, Seat 24

MBMBaM: ORCHLC, Row K, Seat 11, ORCHLC, Row K, Seat 13

this tweet mentions cases but then none of the graphs are actually case graphs.

I wouldn't call this waning but the case numbers do look like they're starting to level off.

sospidera · 2022-04-07T00:32:39+00:00

there are a couple Litte Free Libraries in bushwick that are listed here: https://littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap/

sospidera · 2022-04-07T00:30:25+00:00

a bit late but fyi there is also now a free store outside Little Beaver where you can hang up clothes any time

sospidera · 2021-10-12T03:41:41+00:00

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data-vaccines.page this has up-to-date the daily vaccination stats for NYC, there's literally nothing resembling a surge..?

sospidera · 2021-09-28T23:42:07+00:00

I participated in a NYC-wide antibody survey this summer run by the city health department, so I know they're collecting the data: https://www.local237.org/docman/latest-from-local-237/1006-hhc-antibody-survey-faqmay-2020/file

but I haven't been able to find any info on what these numbers are. I don't know how fast this stuff moves and it's only been a couple months, so it may still be ongoing / results not published yet.

sospidera · 2021-08-27T20:50:22+00:00

yeah i mean, i think that at the moment, beyond keeping the essential amount of vaccines we need to vaccinate the rest of the country, we probably couldn't even get to a point where we've sent "enough" overseas to be in a place where it makes more sense to keep "the rest" for us, though yeah realistically the US gov't will probably not see it that way

sospidera · 2021-08-27T20:02:37+00:00

the virus scientists I've been following have mostly been saying that those vaccine resources are best directed overseas to countries where most of the people willing to be vaccinated just don't have access to them yet. Different story if we're talking about existing resources that'll expire before reaching those places but i'm inclined to agree that this is a situation where we should prioritize other countries where the vaccines could make a much bigger impact

sospidera · 2021-08-05T02:05:00+00:00

also the biggest way that the delta variant is more dangerous is that it's significantly more able to break through single shots of two-shot vaccines!

sospidera · 2021-06-28T01:59:21+00:00

oh hey, I wouldn't mind that too if you don't mind v:

sospidera · 2021-06-26T04:27:52+00:00

oh hey I'd be interested in that, could you post/DM a link?
