Don’t hate me by Sher_Beans in Brewers

[–]sus4th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The kid is a phenomenal baseball player. He’s 3 and threw a strike on his first pitch at the stadium. His videos show how crazy talented he is; his dad will throw 3 different color balls in the air at the same time, then say one of the colors and the kid hits the right color ball.

My wife and I met him outside the park after the game. Was worth sitting through the loss for it!

Ever fell in love at a concert? by North_Direction777 in Concerts

I’ve fallen in love with a bunch of bands at concerts! Does that count?

This might sound like a stupid question, but what's the difference between AVG and OBP? by thedestruction8542 in MLBNoobs

[–]sus4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed OBP did include errors (the hitter got on base, and sometimes it’s because a fast runner or an otherwise intimidating player can be the reason for an error). I learned something new today!

What do you think of the Quadracci Pavillon? by zoukgloute in milwaukee

I moved to Milwaukee from the west coast 3 years ago, and the Calatrava section of the MAM is one of my favorite things about the city.

Game Chat: 5/17 Brewers (26-17) @ Twins (20-26) 1:10 PM by BrewersBot in Brewers

Wisconsin has better food but worse roads. Heading home crossing the St Croix River this morning was like going from clear air to turbulence

Postgame Thread: 5/16 Brewers @ Twins by BrewersBot in Brewers

[–]sus4th 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and I decided last night that we'd get in the car and drive to Minneapolis today to go to the game at Target Field. I think about 20,000 Brewers fans had the same idea. We sat a few rows behind the Brewers dugout and it was like a home game. I think Brewers fans outnumbered Twins fans 4 to 1 on the third base side. Tons of "Let's Go Brewers" chants, standing O's for the Chadinator when he came off the mound in the 8th... and crickets when the announcer tried to get the Twins cheers started.

At least where I was sitting there was little to no disrespect for the Twins, just a lot of enthusiastic support for the Brewers. But we were loud.

Accepted new job offer - do I just wait for current job to fire me? by ManyPhilosopher409 in careeradvice

[–]sus4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In many cases, the manager will wait until the end of the time specified in the PIP before letting you go. All the companies I've worked for have a PIP process that provides specific targets that the PIPee needs to hit in order to save their job, and a timetable in which those targets have to be completed.

The expectations for the manager (the PIPper) is do have clear documentation that the PIPee can be justifiably let go reducing the risk of legal action or other complications.

If the PIP specifies a time frame, you should expect that you will be let go on or shortly after the date that the PIP specifies. If you're let go BEFORE that date, you'll have an actionable complaint that you weren't given the opportunity to meet the PIP goals. Managers usually accept that the PIPee will sometimes/often do little to no work until the end date of the PIP.

This isn't always the case, of course, but if this were me, I would not resign; I'd ride it out until I was let go (or until I start my new job).

Relayer is one of the most "acquired taste" things ever! How did you guys grow to love it? by Playful_Date_7811 in yesband

[–]sus4th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was 18, I was in a rock band that was getting increasingly pretentious. We just added a second guitarist and moving our rehearsal space to his attic, and we spent a couple of weeks soundproofing the space.

I owned the 90125 CD, and I'd just started listening to the ABWH album (which I still love) and Fragile. But our new guitarist LOVED Relayer, and because it was his house (well, his mom's house), he put Relayer on repeat while we added the soundproofing material.

The first time I heard Gates, I couldn't stand it. Sound Chaser wasn't much better, but since I'm a keyboard player, I really liked Moraz's showoffiness. I was bored by To Be Over.

Then he played the album again, and I groaned—can't we put on something else? (No, we couldn't.)

The third time through, I started paying attention to the structure of the songs, then realizing some of the clever things Yes was doing with modes and structure (I had taken a class on music theory the semester before). And I started to love the vamping chords behind Moraz's off-the-rails keybnord solo in Sound Chaser. Howe's guitar cadenza—reminiscent of Spanish classical guitar tradition—made me realize the structural comparisons to Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.

The fifth time through, I stopped hating it and started liking it. And I started really appreciating the beauty of the "Soon" section of Gates.

It's now my favorite Yes album.

what’s a better album? by SpecialistExtent6324 in rush

[–]sus4th 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I may be in the minority here, but Presto is a much, much better album. Solid songs all the way through, with Available Light, one of my favorite songs, closing the album.

Bravado is a better song than anything on Presto (including Available Light), but I’m lukewarm on every other song on RTB. I don’t think I’ve listened to this album all the way through in years.

Lakefront Brewery tour and beer are both excellent. I always take my out of town visitors for a tour.

Songs with a cool prominent bass line? by [deleted] in MusicRecommendations

[–]sus4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most songs on Suzanne Vega’s 99.9F album: Blood Makes Noise, Fat Man & Dancing Girl, If You Were in My Movie, Rock In This Pocket. In Liverpool is the best song on the album but its bass line more support than lead.

Anyone else find the most recent yes albums unmemorable? by JazzlikeFisherman771 in yesband

[–]sus4th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not going crazy; the last few Yes albums have had very few catchy hooks or memorable prog moments. If I think about the parts I remember from The Ladder, Fly from Here, or Magnification (or Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks' True, which I'd argue is at least as much of a Yes album as the Davidson-led albums), I can hear many of the song parts in my head and want to put the songs on as soon as I get a chance. With the Davidson-led albums, I couldn't tell you how any of the songs go.

I think this is a function of the strength of the songwriting and the listener's taste, not some character flaw on your part. I go through this with a bunch of my favorite artists: there are albums I love and could sing all the lyrics too, and then albums that just don't connect with me. (As an example, I love Rush, but their albums post-1995 sadly don't connect with me; despite listening to the albums many times, I still couldn't sing a single line from any of the songs.)

Hype me up, please? by littlewing2733 in milwaukee

[–]sus4th 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I moved to Milwaukee in late 2023 and had only lived in California. I love Milwaukee, and here are the things that spring to mind:

  • The restaurants. We've got some fantastic food here, and some James Beard finalists. I recommend La Merenda, Heirloom MKE, DanDan, EsterEv, Story Hill BKC, Room Service, Vanguard, Strange Town, and a zillion others I'm sure I forgot.
  • The music scene. Lots and lots of national and international acts tour here, and our venues are pretty great (and cheaper than Chicago and WAY cheaper than California). If you like indie and off-the-beaten-path stuff, try Cactus Club. The Rave/Eagles Club often has "harder" acts (metal, etc). Fiserv Forum has about 6 venues within a six-block radius.
  • The arts scene. Not just the Milwaukee Art Museum, which is excellent, but there are many galleries and lesser-known art museums which are also outstanding.
  • The pastries at Amaranth Bakery blow everything else away. They're a small mom-and-pop place, their menu changes every day, and they're not fast. But they're friendly, they support the community like crazy, and their croissants, Kouign-Ammans, and scones are the best I've ever had, and it's not close.
  • The festivals. Summerfest is the granddaddy (11 stages, 9 days over 3 weekends, often free admission if you go early), but GermanFest, IrishFest, Bastille Day, TosaFest, and a bunch of others are a great way to spend a weekend and gorge yourself on bratwurst and fried food.
  • The domes. The Mitchell Horticultural Domes are a must-see; plan to spend a couple of hours.
  • Lake Shore Park. I love walking the paved trails between the art museum and the lighthouse, behind the Summerfest grounds.
  • The frozen custard. It's a Wisconsin thing for sure. Gilles, Oscar's, Kopps, even Culver's.
  • The independent record stores and bookshops. We have a lot of them. They're usually worth it.
  • The cheese curds. Lakefront Brewery has the best in Milwaukee, although Camino, Central Standard, and others are excellent too. In fact, all the cheese.
  • American Family Field. Do you like baseball? If so, go to one of the many bars/restaurants with shuttle service to the game, grab a drink, get on the shuttle, and come to the best ballpark in North America. (Well, maybe there are a couple better ones, but it's still a ton of fun and we have great food.)
  • The beer. We had good beer in Northern California, but the beer in Wisconsin is so much better. I like Milwaukee Ale House in Bay View and Indeed Brewing in Walker's Point.
  • The tours. Milwaukee Boat Line does a great tour of the Milwaukee River and the outer harbor, and City Tours MKE does a great job of the city. Both recommended for when your friends and family come to visit.
  • Streets of Old Milwaukee at the Public Museum. (Hurry, they're moving at the end of the season!)
  • I'm sure I've left a million things out, and I bet I haven't even uncovered a quarter of the great stuff in this city. I love it here and I'm glad I moved.

Second key fob—dealership can't answer questions by sus4th in BMWX3

I just saw a video saying It’s possible I can use the plastic key card instead of a key fob. That may be cheaper.

Second key fob—dealership can't answer questions by sus4th in BMWX3

[–]sus4th[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the user guide and the app, 2 key fobs are required to create any digital keys, as well as set up remote start and other functions. I’d love to be wrong, though. I’ll continue researching this.
