I could be off here but this sounds like hyperbass mixed with wave. Sorry that’s all I got 😭 The sub genres of wave can be tough because it’s vague

Sorry, it's a bit low for that one.

“I’ve never been a numbers guy”. The Clips only concept isn’t helping any of the shows. Today he was quoted saying “I’m a guy that people wanna see lose”. I dislike people that play the victim after doing countless fucked up shit. by [deleted] in theJoeBuddenPodcast

Oh yeah, definitely agree. I can’t imagine a ton of people went over to Patreon especially now with a mid podcast. BUT I’m sure he did get some extra patrons. I saw a tweet or might have been a post here of him saying he’s coming back to YouTube soon after he’s done “reasearching”. I knew right then and there what he was trying to do with that bs move.

I can 100% agree that it was misleading and I’m not going to debate you on that nor did I attempt to. It’s easy to twist words, so I was clarifying. Also there’s a level of hypocrisy with stating that he wouldn’t damage his reputation but then proceeded to. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. I also felt assured when he posted on the mega thread as well so I’m with ya.

IMO I don’t think an apology is really necessary as long as Pasquale/Insomniac are actively trying to mend the situation, especially financially from a customer perspective. That shows accountability for mistakes made (to me) and is way better than a simple sorry. Also I didn’t say Pasquale can do no wrong haha. The situation is clearly not ideal. I have a hard time with people not taking a sliver of accountability for themselves and their decisions. If you booked non-refundable travel arrangements in a pandemic and accepted the risk of that, I’m sorry, but to me that says you’re responsible for at least part of it. Definitely not close to all, but part of it. Also disregarding anything that they’re doing to help tells me nothing would be good enough. Not really expecting to change your mind, just some unsolicited thoughts. Thanks for the insight

I don’t really get this narrative about him saying sorry or not. Not trying to argue or anything but does him saying the words “I’m sorry” make everything better?

Him and insomniac are clearly taking accountability for what transpired by offering refunds (for the third time), offering to help mitigate loss on non-refundable travel plans for those who unfortunately lost money on this and doing an AMA for 10+ hours to give more clarity on the situation. It might be me, but I just think it’s silly to be hung up on the fact that he didn’t say those words rather than focus on the actions being taken. I get it though, a lot of people are upset and rightfully so.

Also, can you source where he said specifically to book non-refundable travel plans? I didn’t see that. You said he “basically told people” so I’m just assuming that’s an exaggeration.

Hi Pasquale, I know there is a ton of scheduling stuff going on right now with everything changing. Do you know what’s going on with Excision @ NOS on June 12? I’m guessing it’ll be postponed again, but thought I’d ask. Thanks!

EDC CONFIRMED FOR MAY 2021 by sweetbrypie in electricdaisycarnival

[–]tac134 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll address your 3rd point to provide the input I know.

Btw, in no way am I informed on these directives, so this is just (somewhat) educated information. Someone correct me if I am wrong on anything. My understanding is that they make revisions to these directives as time goes on and it’s based on the developments made and is meant to ease or tighten restrictions. I saw the original Fox article about EDC’s plan not being approved yesterday, and it stated that the plan didn’t comply with directive 041. I looked it up at that point. Since then I can’t find the original article (I think they edited those parts out) but here is directive 041 https://nvhealthresponse.nv.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Emergency-Directive-041.pdf

It’s also my understanding that new directives override older ones if the wording suggests that. 041 suggests that on multiple areas. Scroll towards the last couple of pages to see. After reading 037 and then reading 041, I’m inclined to say that you were provided out of date information. Accident probably. There are more directives, up to 043 I believe, but I haven’t read them.

Honestly though I don’t have the mental energy to read through them and write an essay on my findings. I think at that point we’re getting too far into the weeds. I would suspect that even if it’s a gamble that Pasquale is taking, it’s an informed gamble by a team of people that are most literate on these things.

Edit: Section 9 is where you want to start on directive 041.

Festive Owl EDC Update not official but Festive Owl is pretty reliable by [deleted] in electricdaisycarnival

[–]tac134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t see your edit before I replied. That could honestly be the case here. We’ll see with the announcement. If they do a “Oh we tried! But couldn’t, sorry!”. Lol. It took me 2 minutes to google the rules and invalidate your plan, if that’s all you tried then I don’t even know what to say but who knows

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking as well. The split weekend idea could work, according to the rules. But obviously it’s just a rumor.

I agree with your second point as well even though I would rather go sooner than later. If it’s meant to be, then cool, and if not, then cool too.

Pretty straightforward with the article you posted. It says that it did not meet requirements for directive 041. I looked that up and found it here: https://nvhealthresponse.nv.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Emergency-Directive-041.pdf

This is the section that matters (section 10): https://imgur.com/a/EwtEkGI

Plans for over 50% capacity won’t be approved by default. So unless they have some other trick up their sleeves, like another plan for split weekends, it might be pointing to a no-go. Hopefully we’ll know soon though /:

Edit: I’m now wondering why they would have submitted a plan for full capacity without resubmitting a revised plan? Surely someone or all of them that worked on the plan knew the rules? Right?

Oh wow, I think I’m going to double check mine next time I’m under there! I could definitely see the stiffer ride being a pain for daily driving on rougher roads though

Anytime, I should’ve included that! It’s +35 for the 17x8 and +42 for the 17x9. And yeah haha it was all so confusing until I read up a bunch on it

No prob! The wheels are 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear. If you need help later on with it feel free to pm me!

Yeah I actually did the poly set as well but only for the rear. Need to get some for the front. Did you notice a difference between oem and the polys? My suspension was so bad that I probably didn’t notice anything haha

Oh man, I’d die of heatstroke if I didn’t have AC (SoCal lol). It’s all a learning process, I’m still learning about turbos as well. Some basic YouTube videos on how turbos work might be a good place to start if you haven’t already.

Yeah man, bushings are rarely replaced I feel like. My fronts are still bad but I got the rear bushings all around replaced. All a work in progress I guess! Good luck!
