I nearly left lemmy because of Hexbear. Learning they could be blocked salvaged the platform for me. It’s not just you - they are pretty widely reviled.

What a terrible day to be literate.

Just strawdoggin’ it.

I am pretty sure it took me about 30 seconds, once I was following what the task was. Including the time spent understanding the task, a minute, 2 tops. I got mixed up and had to start over two times, I think.

Gotcha, thanks!

Luckily it’d be in a finished basement. Shared walls, but where I’d have the set is as far from the shared wall as out could be.

I think I was in the less than a minute crowd, definitely no more then 2, and the exercise was fun. I appreciate the exercise suggestion!

It really was!

It does not seem uncommon for guys who are friendly with one another to throw insults at one another in a non-serious manner. That’s not really the relationship I have with my friends, but it is a thing. I’m not aware of that being much of a thing without some degree of established rapport though. He could have just been doing friendly ribbing as he said, but I think it’s more likely that he decided he was more annoyed at me than at you.

THIS is what I was looking at.

Dissolve your victims… in lube?

I actually do have a question for you, since you sound like you have some familiarity. One of the things I saw you can do with electronic kits or those rhythm guitar hero/rockband style games with em too. Just like guitar hero is not playing a guitar, I imagine those things are not playing the drums, but are they something you’d actively avoid doing while learnin’?

I was actually given one of those pads a year ago, but I have been hesitant to use it. It’s so much smaller than an actual set I would be worried it would cause the development of bad habits. If you know drumming, do you know if that is a reasonable concern?

The closest thing to a need I have for a pressure washer is to determine whether I would like going into pressure washing for a job - which would probably necessitate learning landscaping too at some point, as I am unsure how common pressure washing services are sought after as a standalone thing. I have done a little research in that direction, but not much, since I would need some sustained use to determine whether I would want to really commit to something like that. My thought there was to volunteer services using it for neighborhood/community cleanup, which could build a portfolio if I wanted one, and make the places around me nicer, perhaps. As for knowledge and tools for maintenance, probably not, but I would be able to learn/get what I need in either realm.

For… Karl?

I am impressed by how clever that was. Well done.

They might just be smart enough to operate a guillotine.

Me: That doesn’t seem right. OH. Oh, I am stupid.

GFY is ‘go fuck yourself’ most likely. Classy.

Edit from douchehorn: It’s good there was no class intended, because there was none.
