Musicians 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.

Your wardrobe, eh? Something like this, maybe?

Anyway, GPT5.2 had some interesting things to say, with citations:

it 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…

Oh 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.

Somewhat related: artist Tyler Miles Lockett has been doing an incredible series of reinterpretations of ancient motifs, including a Greek gods series. Some samples here:

Christ 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.”

Oh 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.”

No problem; I’ll just go for thermite!

Alright fine, lol…
Okay, okay, I guess I got one for you–

It’s about aluminum shavings, i.e. how combustible are they, anyway!?

Oh, well shizzle my whizzle!

At the time, my dear @spacenoodle@lemmy.world-- I’ll LET YOU KNOW when I need your help, again, mate.

Got me…?

Uh… are you thinking of FauxPseudo, perhaps?

Speaker 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.

Nah, 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.

Joe 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…

Nifty article; thanks for the share.

Given 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.

Two Several ways to do that. See my other comment here.
