A lot of the “generic” or “store brand” packaged foods are literally the same exact product as the name brands, only in different boxes/bags

The REAL real trick is this (both assume you’re ok with checking your carry on):

1. If you’ve got some time, check in with the front desk and ask if you can check your carry on for free. They’ll usually do it, especially if the flight is full (which is very common)
2. When you get to the gate, they almost always ask if anyone will voluntarily gate check their carry on. Just do it. Now, no more having to worry about finding an overhead bin, and also not having to pack around that carry on after you get off the plane

that’s not a bad sub, but i was referring more to !guitarlessons@lemmy.world

You’re right - I’ll try to promote it!

Guitar practice, theory, etc.

There’s a community for it but it’s practically dead

Satch for sure is an extremely talented guitarist and understands that the key to a good song is a melody (or “hook”) that is simple, memorable, and catchy. Almost every song he wrote has this at its core. The problem is simply that this is insanely difficult to do and he struggles with it, especially on his later albums

Spray cheese

The funny part is that Mormon god was only flexible when it suited Joseph Smith.

I mean, it’s kinda oddly coincidental that God spoke to JS and told him that polygamy was ok right after his wife told him she was furiously against it, don’t you think?

I’m a good boss. AMA.

I lead a team of about 20 designers and engineers at a custom equipment manufacturing company. I try to do my best to lead by example and not buy ruling with an iron fist. If an employee wants to come in late, that’s fine. If they want to leave early, that’s fine. As long as they’re obviously not trying to abuse the system, who the hell cares? All I ask is that they let me know so I can have a valid reason to tell the owners of the company if anyone asks. As long as projects are getting done on time and under budget and not fucked up when they are ready, everything else is just secondary.

Probably go something like this:

I feel like upspeak and vocal fry are more prevalent in women (for whatever reason), but i think it’s equally annoying whomever is doing it.

Man, you guys need to try harder.

Tide pod challenge

Saggin pants

Moustache tattoos on your finger

Punisher branding for showing how much of a “badass” you are

Upspeak, Valley girl talk, vocal fry

Any of these idiotic “pranks” that harm/bother innocent people

Licking ice cream in the grocery store and putting it back on the shelf (for the clicks of course)

Does printer ink count?

Probably one of the most memorable and pivotal moments in my life was when my college professor showed us the origins of relativity and how Einstein came to the conclusion that E = mc^2

It’s a proof that only took about 10 minutes to explain, and the mathematics really aren’t that difficult to understand by most people. The geniuses in the fact that Einstein started by explaining how calculating relative motion meant that time had to be a variable that could be different depending on who the observer was. This in itself is an incredible observation, but you can take this to the extent to literally prove that mass and energy are directly related to each other. It’s absolutely wild and one of the most sublime equations ever made.

Motorcycle riding, done the right way.

Bought a decent street bike to start on, learn the ropes for several years, had the occasional mishhap or two which I fixed by myself. Still, cost money to fix things right?

Upgraded to a proper sport bike and realized how much fun it is, also with a new level of danger involved. Still, I wasn’t an idiot into things right. Bought 100% proper gear, including a track suit, good helmet, gloves, etc. as any motorcyclist knows, you’ll eventually drop your bike, which I did. Again, fixing it yourself is certainly an option, but also again, it cost money.

Then, I made the mistake of going to my first track day. They will allow you to use your own motorcycle as long as you prep it correctly and have decent tires and safety gear. This was an absolute game changer, and I was hooked harder than a heroin addict with an unlimited bank account. Unfortunately, I am neither of those two categories, and track days only get more expensive the deeper you get into them. First of all, they are not cheap to begin with. A decent track day will set you back 300 to $500 just to get on the track. Then, to really get the most out of it, you should have true racing tires with tire warmers. Then there’s the matter of getting your bike to the track, race fuel, a place to hang out, etc etc etc. The list goes on and on.

The mold is where the flavor is

VBA because it plays nicely with Microsoft apps , especially Excel. It also plays nicely with SolidWorks, which is the primary software that i use

You misspelled “Connect”

(They’re both pretty good actually)

Grab the glass as the server is pouring the drink and then guzzle as much as you can.

Set the glad back down and tell them “you may now continue”

After they pour the rest, complain that they shorted you and your demand a refill for free.

Start going into convulsions when they say that’s not possible.

Run to the exit when they go get the manager.

Re-enter the establishment and claim that you’ve never been here before when they inevitably try to refuse your entry.
