Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is one or more pieces of media you've consumed that kept making more content but needed to just end?English
3·6 months agoMusicians that essentially jump the shark after formerly making great art. Paul McCartney and The Cranberries come to mind, but I reckon the list is vast.
RIP Dolores.

1·6 months agoit is a huge difference between losing the longevity by a 1% and 30%.
Even if it’s only a couple percentage pts, it doesn’t seem hard to imagine how that could quickly add up over a few washes. You’re asking for research, but I’m curious what the actual situation is that you’re dealing with. Is it a case for example of having very little convenient area in which to hang clothes to dry?
Btw, there are no-heat spin dryers, hand-cranked wringers, and other alternative devices to help dry clothes as quickly as possible, without heat…

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What band do you think doesn't deserve the hype or fandom?English
2·7 months agoOh fucken gag me with a spoon
You GO, Valley Girl! :D
But yeah, I get your point, there. I used to be casual friends with someone who sounds like your roommate, with a massive collection of live performances. I would listen to a bit of Dead with him, but would NOT have been able to spend endless hangout times listening to nothing but their concerts. And just for me, personally-- I have a certain revulsion for obsessive behavior like that.
I’d say the Dead are a very fine band in the ways I first described, but… yes, could definitely be overrated in the ways you just described. There’s just too much fascinating music from around the world to make the Dead anything more than a passing obsession, at least for me.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you imagine Greek gods and Goddesses to look like that arent an actual depiction of them specifically?English

91·7 months agoChrist are they overrated.
Overrated in what respect, though? What are critics / fans saying about them that you feel is over the top? For me, they were a significant folk rock band and cultural experience that formed a kind of haven from the world at large. They had plenty of groovin’, pleasant songs & jams that I could sincerely recommend, but I’m not really sure in what way they might be “overrated.”

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is it stressful to call into a show?English
2·7 months agoOh neat; you work in stage production? I bet you have some stories…
The cashier can cue the next person in the queue to approach the register.
Or if you’re familiar with Star Trek, pool and the art of judo:
“Q picked up his cue while waiting in the queue for his kyu promotion test.”

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is it stressful to call into a show?English
7·7 months agoSpeaker phone might help, but I know what you mean from back in the day. Having to be ‘on’ when they need you to is naturally stressful.
Btw-- it’s “queue,” sounds like “cue.” “Que” is a Latin and Romance-language word.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you could erase the existence of 3 people, who would they be?English
3·7 months agoNah, he’s a long-time MMA commenter, not a participant. In fact, her ladyship Ronda Rousey called him out on that just recently. OTOH he actually does hold two legit Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts, so the man is no fraud in terms of martial arts.
Like his master Dana White though, it seems he’s heavily in to nootropics and performance-enhancing shizzle. Along those lines, it seemed to me that both of them were fairly handsome men only a few years ago, and these days they just look… weird… Like, sort of greasy-faced, with enlarged heads, and sunken facial features.

5·7 months agoJoe Rogan
It really is astonishing to see a guy thoroughly fun to watch on NewsRadio, across most of his standup routines, and even early-on in his podcasts go from left-leaning, sympathetic, and genuinely curious person about all kinds of things, all the way to a naked sellout, whose usual defense of being a right-wing asshat is to proclaim “I’m just asking questions!”
On a parallel note, I understand that Kentucky’s Mitch M. went from left-wing politico earlier in his career to essentially Darth Vader in the last few decades. Which is why I’d think it would be both fascinating, horrifying and hugely revealing to learn just how that happened, in as much detail as possible…

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are you hiding from the fireworks?English
4·8 months agoGiven the local weather, there’s typically barely anything of that sort around here.
The real problem is the 4th of July, in which there are chronic explosions going on almost a full month sandwiching that date. Just terrible as a light sleeper with oversensitive hearing.
Since it’s in the testing stage, maybe add the option to start with a smaller board, even if it can become eventually cramped. I’m still trying to memorise what everything does, and a smaller board would help for testing purposes.
I haven’t tested this as actively as I’d hoped so far, but will continue to take stabs at it, here and there. My ambition is to give you better feedback and advice, as someone who likes testing games…
