Hammock camping! My last trip was my first time sleeping in a hammock and it was a revelation.

That’s literally still possible. The change is that your attribute points are distributed by you after you sleep, rather than being based on what skills you leveled up in that level. If anything this allows you to be more overpowered, I’m level 5 and have 75 strength and endurance. That’s unthinkable without minmaxing.

The flavor of current also plays a big role too. Car batteries are Direct Current, whereas your 200v outlet was likely Alternating Current. Essentially, even 200v of DC wouldn’t have been as “painful” as the AC you experienced although I’m not playing with either. Part of the danger is the way the alternating current has a tendency to contract your muscles, keeping you in contact with whatever the source is. DC tends just spark, bang, shove you away.

They uhhhh they definitely do. But fuck Home Depot, go to your local Ace Hardware franchise, mine has an absolutely impeccably organized fastener section, and you throw the ones you want in a bag and write down the price. All honor system, no hassle.

Over here in Florida, I shock people when I show them my actual bill from the power company is exactly the minimum service fee every month. I don’t “get” paid for my excess but I don’t have to pay over night so I’m sure as hell happy for that arrangement.

I’ve also blown some people’s minds by framing it as equity building too. You pay a mortgage and own your house eventually. Why not roll solar into that and get equity into your energy as well instead of renting it from the power company?

It’s crazy how much less offensive it looks. I’m shook.

A band is 3-5 ish people just vibing and making it up together. When you get into a studio, now you have at least one engineer in the group. If a record label is involved, you have their representative as well as all their money. So it’s a lot of chefs in the kitchen when it comes to making an actual recording.

The biggest influence outside of the band though is usually the engineer. As an outsider with a vested interest in making the song as good as it can be, they often have really great insight into changes that can make the song even better.

Finally, when you’re playing live even with a click track in your ear, you’re going to want to rush. And that’s ok, it’s fun to play fast. You may not even notice it. And then you go into the booth to record and you end up laying out what you had in your head from the start.

I never really clicked with Thrice as a whole for some reason, but The Alchemy Index albums are just incredible to me. They nailed the aesthetics and motifs for each of the elements, the songs are good and catchy, and are so vastly varied. It’s probably my favorite concept album(s).

The rear spoiler thing on my hatchback trunk is starting to peel and I thought it would be easy to remove and repaint myself. But I was surprised to learn it’s just glued on. But it’s just a trim piece of plastic with a brake light and a fluid nozzle in it. Not a body panel per se.
