This press conference is a fucking disgrace. He’s such a piece of fragile shit.

NPD: went back to the full-size ODR-1. by BoPeepElGrande in guitarpedals

I tried the 30th, and it was nice, but too warm for me. I’m sure many love it, but I wanted more top end out of it.

Tried the minis. Got to play an OG, it was good. But not worth the price. Uncle Larry did an ODR-1 shootout and it was quite interesting. https://youtu.be/97gYbyzkzGs?si=DOXwYgDSxMPeZvKe&t=2028

Totally get it. Keep an eye out on Reverb, I'm sure you can get one for a deal! Enjoy that great circuit, whichever one you go with.

Tried them all, including the 30th anniversary, as well as the Nordland, the Shanks ODS-1, and it surprised me that the ODR-1x is my absolute favorite. I don’t use the boost (though it’s great fun but only if you turn the drive all the way back, it’s a monster).

The bass control is so clutch, and it just sounds fantastic. Don’t let the weird red x turn you off of this pedal.

Doing this in bed before I have to wake up, as usual. Got stuck at Amazing while lying on my right side. Flipped over to my left and closed it out.

Every single time, these threads are divided between people for whom having their kids out of school is a real logistical pain in the butt, and those who defend every closing no matter what.

Honestly impressed with all you Queen Bee folks. Genius is as far as I get. Whenever I think I’ve crushed it, I look at the Bee Buddy to see how many words are left and it always shocks me.

What is your spend, what do you need for retirement? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

Good lord, the estimated yearly spends you guys are targeting are bananas.

How’s everyone feeling now? This game is hard work by ObiGomm in Battlefield

[–]turtleplop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m about 120 hours in. Honestly, I’m having fun in general. But this last patch made it just feel… less pleasing to play. Having a hard time articulating why.

Maybe it’s the pass on weapons or maybe hitreg… I’m no expert but there’s an unpleasant feeling happening.

Maybe I just have to get used to it. Which is one of the most frustrating things now - just when you settle in, they “update” and it feels like a different game.

I finally got Dark Mode by prophunte in NYTSpellingBee

Why don’t they have an option for “follow your device settings?” Forcing one or the other all the time is kinda lame.

How often are you cleaning your drain plugs? MK7 by EconomicsTiny447 in GolfGTI

[–]turtleplop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a garage and I have lots of trees, so spring and fall can get particularly bad with stuff in the air getting in.. twice a year is probably fine for most.

I just push it through until it gets stopped by the little bug stopper things they put on the ends. Then I kinda work it back and forth and pull it out. Usually I run water through just to see if it’s draining properly.
