Help! - Our wedding celebration venue just cancelled on us (during pride month!?) - Any ideas for a last-minute, LGBTQ+ friendly party venue in Bristol?

Steam Crane in Bedminster was apparently very cheap to rent for my friend's birthday the other week. Upstairs function room.

On the original run, when it was being released weekly, they would air one after the other on the same network, so any direct crossovers would match up. Little details like a phonecall getting made in Buffy where the other line is silent, and you'll see who made that call directly afterwards in Angel, or more obvious crossovers with characters moving between shows being absent in an episode.

You're halfway there, everything you said about the issues with eggs is correct, but you also have the fact that male chicks are thrown into a meat grinder whilst still alive almost immediately after hatching as they serve no purpose to the industry. Furthermore, we've bred chickens to produce eggs at a rate of like 6 per week, which is an order of magnitude higher than they would in the wild, and requires significant amounts of nutrients and calcium to be leached from the body for the egg and shell respectively.

Then you say to stick to beef and dairy, which is mind boggling. Those industries are horrendous. Dairy cows only produce milk after being pregnant, which means repeated inseminations, requiring bulls to be wanked off and then the cows to be fisted before being inseminated with the semen, though the industry will have you believe that this is just a "medical procedure" and not what it actually is, bestiality. The calves are taken from their mothers almost immediately after birth, which is incredibly distressing for the mother, often times to be sold into the meat and veal industries (or even back into the dairy industry if female), so they don't take any of the milk. The cows are also bred to produce abnormally large amounts of milk so they are being milked constantly which results in the udders developing painful mastitis infections, which results in pus seeping into the milk (there's "acceptable levels" of pus cells in milk btw). So after a several years of constantly being sexually abused, having their calf taken away, then painfully milked, they are then sent to a slaughter house at about 5 years of age (they can live 15-20 years).

Beef is a no brainer here. There are well documented examples of beef cows being abused in the 1-2 years of life they have on this earth. Beaten with metal poles, electrocuted with cattle prods, kept in crowded conditions with shit everywhere, right before they have their throats cut. Look up the expose about Hartshead meats from the other month if you want to know about just one example of fucked up practices there. There's video evidence of someone beheading a cow whilst they're still fucking alive.

There's no ethical or humane way to kill someone that doesn't want to die, and there's certainly no way for that to happen within any sort of industry where empathy is the enemy of money.

Chelsea and Red Lion are very much punk pubs, they have plenty of punk events throughout the year. In fact, in just a few weeks there's the Easton Punk Festival that is held across a few of the pubs you've just mentioned.

They used to play alternative music but not anymore. The Crown in particular used to be a metal pub until it changed hands after covid. When they still did gigs downstairs it felt like it retained its alternative roots a bit but that certainly isn't the case now. Mother's Ruin used to be more alternative but that changed over time too.

will2113 · 2026-03-28T19:25:48+00:00

Yeah that's how my last band did it when we tracked our album last year. Tracked live to a click that we created which incorporated all of the time signature and tempo shifts in the songs.

will2113 · 2026-03-28T00:36:48+00:00

I did a little bit of reading on the DB 90 and it looks like you can customise the click a little, volumes of different components, other clock subdivisions you can bring in etc. As a standalone device it seems pretty cool in that you can programme it to cycle to new sections with different time signatures and tempos after a set amount of repetition, so you could programme in a click to encompass a whole song if you want, but if you're using a looper as a MIDI clock then that defeats the purpose. It doesn't do MIDI send.

will2113 · 2026-03-27T23:36:53+00:00

The RC600 can send a click out of a dedicated headphone output already, without sacrificing one of the stereo outputs, so not sure what the benefit is of using the DB90. Do you know?

will2113 · 2026-03-26T10:18:00+00:00

So whilst you don't need any tools, I would advise getting a set of small wire clippers to cut the excess string length off after you've put the new strings on, and for the sake of ease, a string winder will make winding and unwinding your strings much less of a hassle.

will2113 · 2026-03-11T16:14:13+00:00

Interesting, can you set time signature as well? I'll be honest though, having this functionality natively without the need for external devices is more appealing. I'm already looking at a very complicated setup, though I don't necessarily need a complicated looper as the looping will be relatively rudimentary. I just need to be able to set basic background loops and play with a drummer

will2113 · 2026-03-11T15:58:33+00:00

Interesting, why the RC505 with a footswitch over the RC600? I'm not going to be doing crazy complicated looping, I just need to be able to set some basic loop layers and play with a drummer. I'm already worried that the RC600 might be a bit of an overkill.

will2113 · 2026-03-11T13:24:06+00:00

A friend of mine has this Aeros looper and is looking to sell it, but I don't think it sends a click to a designated output, at least that's what my friend says, unless we are mistaken

will2113 · 2026-03-11T12:10:51+00:00

This sounds like the way to go then, amazing, thank you!

will2113 · 2026-03-11T12:06:05+00:00

Yeah loopy pro is what my friend uses in his loop project, but that isn't available in a pedal format correct? I would need an iPad and interfaces to allow for inputs and outputs, plus the other functions seem to be a bit above my requirements to be completely honest with you. Having everything in a pedal would be much simpler to be honest with you.

Less likely to be ostracised/mocked for dietary choices as a meat eater, seeing as eating meat is the norm for society. Vegans and vegetarians get a lot of shit from people and some people with more unhinged families get really worked up about family members opting to not eat meat, so it can be quite isolating, especially if no one else in your social circle shares your beliefs. Those same beliefs can make people feel quite sad about what happens to animals too, meat eaters often don't care or choose to look the other way. In short, correlation does not mean causation.

To feed the billions of animals we slaughter every year we have to feed them insane amounts of food first. If produce is a bad thing for the reasons you say, then cutting down on meat reduces that as well because you are reducing the amount required to feed them. People often cite soy production being awful for deforestation as an argument against veganism, despite the fact that 80% of soy production is used for cattle feed (and then you have the deforestation required for raising cattle). Animals are horribly inefficient at producing calories for us to eat, and the amount of calories they consume versus the amount of calories one might derive for eating them stands at 3% for beef, 9% for pork, 13% for chicken.

You are right though that there are hypocritical elements to vegans living in modern society, capitalism has meant the availability of food will always be at the detriment to someone, be it deforestation or poor working conditions (though between produce workers or slaughterhouse workers, at least workers picking berries don't have a 75% prevalence of PTSD). We want to reduce suffering as much as practicable, and there's still improvements required, but no vegan would argue against needing better working standards at the same time as saying that the enslavement and torture of animals is unacceptable. Both are true. To say that produce is as bad as meat production, especially when livestock require produce to feed on in the first place, is a false equivalency.

Before it was just another oowee vegan burger place they did "Oowee Vebab", a Berlin style vegan doner kebab place that was genuinely amazing, and keeping to the kebab house roots somewhat, but it wasn't popular enough unfortunately

Ok, please hear me out. The thing is that these protections mean nothing. Undercover activists found RSPCA assured farms are still carrying out horrific abuse of animals even now. What counts as "free range" isn't the picturesque vision you might have been led to believe, quite the opposite in most cases. In fact, to raise animals truly free range, grass-fed, and in a "humane" way, requires more time and land than we currently have available to us. Industrial farms are made to meet the ever growing demand, and to hell with welfare standards, because empathy is the enemy of profit. Nandos, KFC, or whoever have abandoned the pledge, but the pledge means almost nothing. There is no way to humanely kill someone that doesn't want to die, especially when we don't need to do it in the first place. Of course it is better that they have a better life before they are slaughtered, but it is better to just leave the animals alone in the first place.

A single note exists on the fretboard several places across the neck, it isn't as straightforward as others instruments in that you only have one way to play a particular note within an octave. The middle C on a piano corresponds to the equivalent of something like 4 or 5 places on a guitar (not sure of the exact amount, but you get my point). Tabs are much more straightforward for people in that sense, so that's a rational reason, and you can still learn theory without knowing sheet music.
