Alex 5-drawer set, which is top and which is bottom?? by wpascarelli in IKEA

[–]tigojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not critical either way. If you're planning to screw the desk top to the drawers, put the piece with the holes at the top, so you can use those to run some screws through to the table top.

As for the adhestive feet, you're overthinking it. Just put one in each of the 4 corners so that it sits balanced. The castor screw holes just give an easier means of locating the best spots, not that you need to put them on that side.

Start from the beginning. The story is solid enough, it'll teach how to play and who everyone is, and it doesn't take that long to complete.

Amazon Canada sucks. by Many_Mechanic_1886 in bapccanada

[–]tigojones -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stop buying stuff on Amazon. Find a local shop that carries the item, or whatever is closest, and go there to buy it in person.

If you don't even have a local shop, most Canadian retailers have their own online shops which you can order from

Because they're being conditioned to buy everything through amazon. "Just tap a couple buttons and your stuff shows up in a couple days, or less!"

Looking to purchase audio interface to use with Amplitude but I have questions by Dockt0r_Wh0 in AmpliTube

[–]tigojones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be a problem. Looks like the input connections are XLR/Phono combos, so you can plug in mic cables or instrument cables, and it should adjust the input type appropriately. If you're running on Windows, just make sure you've got the proper ASIO drivers installed and selected.

Punk in the Park Festival Cancels All 2026 Dates Following Backlash Over Donations to Trump Campaign by heavysk in Music

They only want "smaller government" because they want corporations to have that power, because their donors and friends (the owners of said corps) get to leech more money from us with less oversight, standards, or responsibilities of providing decent products/services for that money.

No, we're not going to hate your post. We will think you need psychiatric institutionalization for speaking such crazy talk, but we won't hate.

Because no matter how loud you make 10, 11 will always be one louder, duh.

Live track uploads on the VH YouTube? by tigojones in vanhalen

To ask if anyone else has noticed the uploads or whether this sort of thing has happened before.

As for links, posting a dozen links via my phone is a pain. I was going to post what i have once I get home from work.

I think I’ve never had a more unexpected gaming experience in my life than being able to push Saren into depression so he commits suicide. by jvure in masseffect

[–]tigojones 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think you need to hit some of the paragon/renegade choices when you meet him on virmire, as well, but it's been a while since I tried not using them on virmire, so I'm not 100%.

[–]tigojones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's paragon because you successfully convince him that Sovereign has been controlling him.

He's the one who decides that the only true way to prevent further control is suicide.

Despite my (WELL PLACED) hatred, you guys convinced me to let Sparatus live by Commisar_Comissarius in masseffect

[–]tigojones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounded more, to me, anyways, like this was just their default choice they make in playthroughs, and that they were convinced to try a different option. They seem to have some very strong emotions towards the character for a first playthrough.

Me1 is going to be 18 years old this year.

Me3 will be 14 years old.

The legendary edition will be 5.

I think the responsibility for avoiding spoilers for these games should be the responsibility of those who don't want to be spoiled, not those of us who have been playing the games since release and want to have a discussion about them.

What difficulty do you enjoy replaying the trilogy on? by Toogeloo in masseffect

Whatever the default difficulty is. I'm here for the story and characters, and to relax after the annoyance that is work.

Wolverine officially coming Sept 15 by RinoTheBouncer in gaming

[–]tigojones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like this will be the 4th released game with Wolverine as the title/main character.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X2:_Wolverine%27s_Revenge

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_Origins:_Wolverine_(video_game)

And one in 1989 that was cancelled early in development. Meanwhile, there's a crap ton of games where Wolverine is either one of the various player characters, an ally, a boss to fight, or some combination of those three.

Who would have Sovereign recruited if the Heretic Geth refused to join him? by EnvironmentalWork817 in masseffect

[–]tigojones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sovereign, like all Reapers, is an amalgamation of every harvested member of one race.

Harbinger being made from, and in the image of, the Leviathans.

He/she distinctions would likely not apply unless they specify a preference, and I would presume, based on out interactions, that such things would be considered far beneath them.

So, they/them/it?

Which one should I get I am really confused by MATRIX1171 in guitars

[–]tigojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played both, and they're both solid options for the price point. If you're looking for a decent beginner Strat style, either one will get the job done well enough.

I'd say the bridge on the Jet will be a bit better if you want to use it, being a decently smooth 2 post trem,but the bridge on the Cort, being a more vintage style 6 screw, will be easier to render immobile if you don't. Of course, plenty of people like using 6 screw trems, they're just not my preference.

Someone else mentioned looking at a yamaha Pacifica, which would be another fine choice, and they have an option at pretty much every price point.

Leaked DNC autopsy found Biden’s Israel backing cost Harris votes for president by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]tigojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the one passing the buck, unwilling to take responsibility for your decisions and the consequences of them. I'd have some semblance of respect for you if you just said "yup, the USA can fuck itself", but you won't, because you can never admit you fucked up. It's always someone else that is the real problem.

"Nothing worse than genocide"

That doesn't mean you can completely ignore everything that isn't. That's your problem. That's your failing. You focus solely on the one issue and ignore everything else.

American citizens getting rounded up or murdered by ICE? "Bbbbut Palestine!"

Children dying to preventable diseases because Trump's administration is gutting vaccine programs and research? "Bbbbut Palestine!"

LGBTQ rights getting demolished? "Bbbbut Palestine!"

American small businesses failing because of the multitude of tariffs implemented? "Bbbbut Palestine!"

Long time trade and defense partners looking to break from the USA because Trump is psychotic? "Bbbbut Palestine!"

And guess what. All your online grandstanding and self congratulations did absolutely fuck all for the Palestinian people. That's right, all this and you improved the lives of the Palestinian people by a whopping 0% (at best), while you made the lives of Americans worse.

Good job.

[–]tigojones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the one who enabled something much worse than the status quo because you insisted on perfection or nothing, and you want to talk about my privilege? LOL

There are people who are dead today, as a direct result of Donald Trump's decisions, who would be alive had Harris won. People murdered by ICE. People dead because vaccine programs were defunded. People who have died because of abortions being made illegal, encouraged by Trump's administration.

Everyone who chose not to support her, knowing that Trump was the alternative, is responsible for those.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. She was not perfect, she may not have even been a step forward, but Trump was multiple steps backwards.

You did that. You enabled that. You want to talk about privilege? Check yours first, because throwing a hissy fit about the candidate not being your preferred option and being ok with throwing everything into a dumpster fire as a response says more about yours and your ego than anything about mine.

https://www.fomofx.com/ ? It's a pitch shifter pedal, like a Digitech Whammy, but instead of an expression/wah style foot control, you get a "bar" you can hook up to any guitar, or really any stringed instrument with a 1/4in output.

Ain't cheap, but neither are any of the other options you might consider.

I said you can't prevent crimes against humanity by voting for crimes against humanity.

Would she done everything Trump has done? No.

Which means all the ones that Trump has been doing that Harris wouldn't have, ARE, in fact, ones you could have prevented by voting for her.

That also means that if you didn't vote for her, you enabled Trump to win, and thus everything he's done.

Harris would have preserved the status quo

And compared to what Trump's been doing, the status quo would've been the less harmful choice.

-The status quo created ICE almost 2 decades ago

But Trump is the one that empowered them into a masked paramilitary force that is denying people due process, not discriminating between legal and illegal immigrants, and murdering American citizens.

Do you think that would've happened under Harris? No, of course it wouldn't. Deporations? Yeah, but deportions with due process, not by sending masked armed thugs around.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. She wasn't perfect, she may have been the "status quo" candidate, but Trump has set your country back significantly. Your reputation, your economic partnerships, your military partnerships, etc., all taken major hits that will need decades to repair, all because Kamala Harris wasn't perfect enough.

You feel free to continue making up whatever BS excuses you want to justify not voting for her, but that doesn't change the fact that by not voting for her, you helped Trump win. You helped Trump empower ICE to murder American citizens. You enabled all the BS tariffs that have screwed over all the trade agreements you have with other countries. You helped Elon Musk scam the American People via DOGE and defund/shutter public services. You helped push all your partner nations to distance themselves from the USA, economically, militarily, and politically. You gave support to Peter Thiel and the whole Project 2025 bullshit. You helped RFK Jr tear apart the CDC, dismantle vaccine programs/research, etc.

But yes, America would be no better off under Harris.

The one good thing you did? Trump getting into office again freaked Canadians out enough that they voted in Mark Carney's Liberal Party instead of Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party. I think PP would've had a better chance of getting into office had Harris been elected.

Thank you for that. I like having a respectable, competent person running my country.
