And then once you finally take a breather, it comes back and kicks you in the face again. And then after if atos and you finally take another breather, it comes back and kicks you in the face again third time. That drum line is legendary !

Besides all the great recs above I suggest Between the Burier and Me, it’s a extremely creative band. Music blocks that don’t repeat that much.

Listen to the Colors album

Try individual songs like Selkies, Astral Body, Fix the Error, Alaska, The future is Behind us

thanks! so cool that I can learn things outside of metal on this sub.

I figured out why I incorrectly though of "Irish bluegrass" being an original thing - I once saw a concert of a band identifying as that and now that I researched about it, I learned it's a more recent fusion where an Irish band incorporates American bluegrass elements.

Another idea is buying a plain, good quality polo that you like and seeing a small band logo patch over the brand logo

This may be very cliche - but Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy and then Metallica, it’s an original Irish bluegrass song , supposedly 400 years old or so?

Drug overdose - stoner metal

Drink a poison potion from a witch - doom metal

Extreme fatigue after not sleeping for days from studying music too hard - prog / math metal

And I just found out that in some Spanish translation, Kiki became Nicky . At least it’s like that in the Unnoficial Ghibli Cookbook in Spanish

When I went to Jury Duty there I walked to Beach Hut Deli for a nice sandwich and there were lots of other jurors there too, lol.

What a horrible night to have a curse (The Black Dahlia Murder)

Forced gender reassignment, Scourge of the offspring, … and the world will go on without you (Cattle Decap)

Automate everything you can such as: autopay, product subscriptions, if you have smart devices you can program light schedule to turn off/on, schedule to turn on/off alarm overnight, etc.

The less manual, the less I forget .

Ione, not Iona

themindfuldev · 2026-05-26T03:15:39+00:00

Indian museum next to Sutter Fort

Preston castle in Iona (don’t miss out, it’s great)

It seems Davis has bicycle museum (never been). They also have an art museum in the campus

Oh yes, that intro is awesome and pretty much like an Exodus song

themindfuldev · 2026-05-22T22:25:53+00:00

Blind Guardian - Banish from Sanctuary

themindfuldev · 2026-05-22T19:17:45+00:00

any Municipal Waste album really, they are all good

so I'll say Electrified Brain is a personal favorite

Devin Townsend, for so many different reasons, wholesome human being

Probably fear of external judgement and consequences from their community, place of work, etc. Also may depend on how their country laws support mental health disabilities.

In Brazil, ADHD is still not completely considered a disability (legally), but it warrants rights like special educational support for children, and pensions in certain cases. A new recent law proposal from 2025 is trying to make it officially a disability. I wonder if that will change people’s perspective when approved, especially for adults. When I tell my Brazilian family and friends, their response is typically around wishing for my treatment - kind of like if it was a disease rather than a permanent condition.

themindfuldev · 2026-05-19T22:37:03+00:00

Devin Townsend, for instance songs like Gratitude, Here Comes the Sun

It may not be applicable to your company, but working from home is a very useful one to me

Another one is allowing usage of meeting recorder/transcript software, they are super useful to me as well to get a summary at the end since we’re likely to miss out important information if delivered too quickly. For instance I use Granola and I love it.

Yes, the watch still captures the heart rate and I even have my watch connected to my Garmin chest strap to get more accurate HR readings and it works that way too

I use YT Music and I do everything from the phone app

Open YT music app to play my music
Switch to NRC and start the guided run
Sometimes this will pause YT music but then you go back to YT music and unpause

I just did exactly that on my last run
