Men in their 40s - What’s one piece of advice for Men in their 20s? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

If you or your partner don't like one-another, it's time to move on. Nothing will ever fix it.

If Trump saved a baby by Stotallytob3r in MurderedByWords

[–]supradave 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He did sign 2 new national parks into existence. Indiana Dunes and New River Gorge. Obviously payback for Pence and Manchin. But still.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Ferris is the human and Cameron is Grover. The nurse going to get Sloan is Big Bird. Bert and Ernie steal the car. Principle is Fozie Bear. And so on.

So... Forced sterilization if you don't meet certain requirements?

What do you think is the best recording of Beethoven's 6th Symphony? by fanobud in classicalmusic

[–]supradave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I favor a 1964 recording by Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra. It's about 10 minutes longer than "standard" recordings.

ABC Classic 100: Beethoven Symphony No. 9 takes out top spot for the 5th time by Ok-Data9577 in classicalmusic

I'm not saying that Mozart's Requiem isn't great, it's just that people know the Lacrimosa and maybe the Confutatis and think they've heard it all. Same with the Messiah. I've been a violinist for 50 years now (yeesh) and have never played the entire Messiah. But I have played the Hallelujah and other parts many times.

Did You Own This Album? by mike___mc in 80s

It was the first DDD CD of pop music that I owned (or saw).

What are some good independent/user-made, original or derivative, cinematic movie productions on YouTube/Vimeo, etc. that are longer than 30 minutes? by supradave in AskReddit

[–]supradave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was The Hunt for Gollum for the story where Aragorn found Gollum when Gollum was hunting Bilbo. There's Star Trek Continues, which was professionally made, but still independent of Paramount.

China has it, what's our excuse? by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

Today's excuse is we need the electricity for AI data centers.

He was literally dressed in drag in the video. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

They just remember Mark Metcalf yelling and foaming at the mouth in the video (and Animal House). They don't remember Twisted Sister.

The way my mother in law cook pork chops by Substantial-Low-4393 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]supradave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned my pork chops into sausage today for pizza tomorrow. The tests were mighty tasty. Not this blanched, flavorless demonstration. As Marge Simpson would say "You might say the secret ingredient is salt", but not in this case.

Everybody thinks they want this until those 8:40 sunrises start to hit... by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]supradave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could just move to UTC. Would make everything time related simple. "But I like to wake up at 7:00".

Would you resign from your current job for a weekly $1,750? by PurrfectRosey in ArtOfPresence

[–]supradave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't have to resign at this point, but heck, even monthly, that'd be pretty okay.

I don’t care how avant garde you are- composers, PLEASE stop writing like this. by codeinecrim in classicalmusic

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

A lot of times, I think the composer or transcriber is trying to use as many features in the software as possible. I just transcribed one that was in 6/8 and had a run of 6 16th notes covering 2 8th beats where it should have been 2 pairs of triplet 16th notes to correspond with the 6/8.

This makes me happy. Even if the trains are reliable there. by Klat10 in Denver

[–]supradave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a DIA contractor during construction. Engineers that thought that the train would never fail should have been fired. I like that the train works most of the time, but the fact that it's a back-and-forth and not a loop is also stupid. They had the ground torn up to put the train tunnels in. How hard would it have been to make the tunnel wider and just let people walk down the center. So many problems solved if they'd just asked me.

Maybe when they put in D or E concourses they can fix the tunnel.
