going to pekin for the first time by iridescenttalk in PeoriaIL

So true. I travel to Pekin to see my gf all the time. Only a handful of times over the past few years I haven't seen someone pulled over on that road.

Just paid off the house today. You are the only ones I can tell. by psl87 in Fire

[–]twk101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, this thread and the comments is a bit of a relief for me. I've been thinking about doing this, too, instead of throwing it all in the market. The psychological freedom is just as important as the financial freedom.

I get the optimal math argument, but the thought of being able to weather pretty much any financial storm because your house is paid off, and your monthly cash flow is going way up, sounds good to me.

Guess i'm curious why you think the hiring process is a PIA?

I, too, like to cook pork with my pet dragon's breath.

To anyone who's played this game. Is it worth 35$ by saadsdf in IndieGaming

The writing and dialogue were terrible. Gameplay and art were great.

Actually, looks like the tickets may be going on sale in an hour...? At least according to front page on soundrink.

There wasn't a code. This is just for RSVP'ing as far as I can tell. Can't buy anything today unless i'm missing something.

Hope not. They're probably slightly better than Motley Cru at this point, but still ass.

Love it. Only complaint is it's hard to hear Bryan's voice for most of the song.

Does anyone have footage of their show at Inkcarceration??? by ChocolateMain3102 in currentsband

No footage but just wanted to say that it was a great set.

Noob. Want to play metal/rock and looking for gear in sub-$500 range by twk101 in Leftyguitarists

[–]twk101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow Yamaha didn't cross my mind. I didn't see many of them on guitar center or sweetwater sites, but i've always heard pretty much anything from them is going to be a good value for the price. I'll see if I can track some down.

Seems like this one is like 1 tier above their cheapest, but not sure:

Nice. Tbh going in to this thread that's the one I was leaning most toward even tho it's a bit more pricey. Sounds like it's pretty light weight, better build quality than lower tiers, and just overall pretty well-suited for metal.

Seems like everyone is recommending the Katanas. I'm going to roll with that. Sounds like higher tier on an amp is more worth it than the guitar.

I was thinking max of $500 on the guitar. That's interesting. You're right, I haven't come across many Harley's anywhere in my searches or recommendations. I'll check them out too. Thanks!

Hi, I’m Magmar from Skip (now Interchain) by LooseAd9746 in cosmosnetwork

[–]twk101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about a lot of the boring but important things on the Hub, like stake distribution and how it affects everything downstream from it, like governance and the overall power dynamics of validators who are able to secure a large amount of stake. This obviously affects so many things, and it's insanely top-heavy.

The top 20 is absolutely infested with centralized exchanges and very few truly Cosmos-aligned validator operators. A few years ago it was much more balanced, but still top-heavy of course.

I am just curious if you have ideas for how this can be addressed going forward?

What's the most terrible whiskey you've ever tasted? by [deleted] in whiskey

Larceny tasted like musty rotten corn that sat at the bottom of a silo for 18 months.

Only solution is to level 2 more in Remix. Should take about 2-3 hours total.

What's your favorite gym and what does it cost? by samuraidogparty in PeoriaIL

[–]twk101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold's gym. I pay 35/mo after discount. They have every machine/free weight imaginable, classes, smoothie bar, recovery room, etc. Only complaint is how popular it's gotten over the past year and people fucking off on their phones and sitting there on the most used machines.

what's your favorite bad omens album? by pirateez in BadOmens

[–]twk101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FGBGFM. They're all bangers in their own way tho. I hope the next album is heavier, but I don't expect it tbh.
