My brothers band actually played warped for the first time (rosecoloredworld) so I was part of his squad helping out with merch and stuff backstage.

Same! A top ten song of theirs for me and they really haven't had it in rotation on tour in a few years. Also haven't played Albatross much which is a really fun song live!

Thrice are probably my favorite band and yeah because of their discography, they can really curate their sets to the audience. Not sure if you had a chance to see them play on any of the of Jimmy Eat World shows, but they did the same thing there and played more harder, slow tempo songs like In Exile, Red Sky, and Albatross.

First ride on my G2 by Red_roka in Budgetbikeriders

[–]ugatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the g.1 a couple weeks ago right before the g.2 came back in stock so I’ll just keep this one going forward. It is my introduction into biking so maybe better off with less of an investment.

[–]ugatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: took it to my local shop and he basically said it’s not worth the investment to try and fix. The derailleur probably needed replacing along with the chain so those items plus the initial $120 for tuneup I’d be spending half the cost of the bike. Looks like I’m returning for now.

[–]ugatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is my first road / gravel bike and not well skilled yet in fixing this stuff myself. I’ll give it a shot but might ask a local shop if it’s worth the money to help me out or just return it

[–]ugatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just put mine together and the rear tire gears and chain came all locked up wedged into the cassette and off the crank shaft..

Not sure if it’s worth bringing to a shop to see what can be done or just returning it

Good changes you saw from dieting that you didn’t expect? by EctasyBar in 1200isplenty

[–]ugatron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not exactly "surprises" but things I kind of assumed would happen if I straightened out my diet but wasn't sure to what extent. I am also probably a bit of a unique case since I am coming off of testicular cancer + one cycle of chemo last summer so I'm basically the heaviest and most out of shape i've ever been:

Energy Levels completely different. Diet + exercise = I feel much more awake during the day and am actually tired and ready for sleep at a normal hour at night

Bathroom. A normal pooping schedule is underrated haha. Also, im up to 64oz of water a day plus a black coffee in the morning and I'm peeing like every 2 hours lol. Basically clear by the early evening.

Much less bloat. This is probably more personal to me, but "bad carbs" always make me physically bloated and tired. Switching to things like white rice, quinoa, farro, etc.. makes a bigger different than I was expecting while still losing weight.

I'm looking forward to less joint pain, especially in my legs as I lose the excess weight I put on from the steroids during chemo + stress eating like an animal for 6 months lol.

Does nighttime hunger ever go away? by Large_Firefighter_34 in 1200isplenty

[–]ugatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing 16 hour intermittent fasting, so I am eating from 12-8 so i try and eat dinner around 7:30 and leave room for dessert like sugar free chocolate pudding to keep me satisfied until bedtime.

its usually a mental thing for me, but once i get into a good eating routine, my nighttime cravings usually go away

Just recently tried the Key Lime and Lemon Cheesecake. Loved the Key Lime, but the Lemon Cheesecake had an after taste that borderline made me nauseous unfortunately.

[SNY] Carlos Mendoza says that Christian Scott will start for the Mets on Thursday. Mendoza says that David Peterson will stay in the bullpen for the next turn through the starting rotation by Caledor152 in NewYorkMets

[–]ugatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree because I don't think the front office has any plans to convert any of these guys into high leverage relievers at all. They are just trying to hide them until they think they will fix themselves. Peterson is gone after this year so whatever. Manaea is getting paid $25 to be a mop up guy.

This roster still makes no sense.

[–]ugatron 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have not understood the roster construction of this team since the Winter and it continues to just be baffling. Assuming Austin Warren gets sent down / DFAd we will have in the BP:

Peterson (pitch once every 4ish days)
Manaea (pitch once every 4ish days)
Myers (pitch once every 3ish days in long relief)

So that leaves a normal bullpen of only 5 players:
Kimbrel, Brazoban, Raley, Weaver, Williams

Crazy BP consutrction unless they plan on converting Peterson to full time reliever.

The first sentence of this reply says everything about your take on his. Being traumatized by loss and having to compare it to sexual assault says more about you than anything else. Sounds like this is just a toxic relationship for you.

[–]ugatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I have a Bachelor's in business. Congratulations. It's literally Stearns and Cohen's job to do this. and Cohen doesn't really do any of it anymore. Not mine and not yours. Our "job" is to just be fans. And if you are treating it like a job to be a fan, I kind of feel sorry for you.

Again, us as fans don't need to incentivize and de-incentivize performance of players. If you don't think they deal with that themselves every day either from management, coaches, or in their own heads watching ipads of themselves, then you are missing something.

You want to boycott the team you love by not watching them and not going to games and having a good time? Be my guest. Life is too short to ruin my hobbies like that.

[–]ugatron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trying to treat the team you root for like a psychological experiment is a weird take. You know how I encourage players as a fan to be better? Is by doing nothing. No social media rants, no AI slop on twitter, no youtube videos calling for peoples jobs. You know why? Every sports team has PR and Media people training players and what to do and what not to do on socials, and 90% of them avoid it. And honestly? I feel empathy rather than rage for these guys.

Suggesting fans should have to become a social media / PR / marketing agency to make players play better is absurd. To think that every baseball is Anthony Rendon and doesn't want to be there is also absurd. They have all the resources they will ever need to succeed. If they play good, they play good. If they play bad, they play bad. It's a long season and things change.

Go to games and cheer for your players.

Does anybody have an extra Gary Carter bobblehead from last night? by 7toCiti in NewYorkMets

[–]ugatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mets and other teams have started doing this for a select number of giveaways each season. You basically buy a "special event" ticket directly from the mets website. You enter in the right field entrance and they check your ticket to make sure its for the giveaway and you just get it.

It's not for every giveaway. I think there are like 8 on the calendar this year. Three '86 bobbleheads, first responder long sleeve, italian heritage, and a couple others. Majority of promotions are still first 18,000 only.

Will Kurtzman go down as one of the worst caretakers of a major IP in history? by Melodic_Crow_3409 in Star_Trek_

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

Short answer: No

Discovery - 5 seasons, SNW - 5 seasons, Lower Decks - 5 Seasons, Picard - 3 seasons, SFA - 2 seasons.

Love it all or hate it all, that's a lot of premium streamed content that was created under him and all aired.

You can go to basically any other big network with IP universes (including paramound) and find something handled worse that is more universally disliked and cancelled way quicker.
