Are you sure you’re not just thinking of the smell of carburetor engines? I think I know the smell you’re thinking of and its the exhaust of a vintage carburetor engine.

Was there really a different smell for leaded gasoline?

Just put windows on a laptop from a few years ago and you can revisit that feeling. Haha

REAPER rules. I started on ProTools in 2010. Ditched it for Reaper in 2012 and never looked back. Best $60 I ever spent. I’ve gladly bought multiple licenses for my devices over the years.

AC/DC with an HM-2. Damn that’s overkill haha.

Judas Priest’s “Painkiller” covered by Death is incredible.

If anyone wants to take a chance on a cover I recorded (all instruments and vocals) of Enslaved’s “Havenless”, check it out at this link (https://youtu.be/b1ByxMMnSfw)

Nobara or Bazzite are your best Linux options for gaming. I’ve been on Nobara for over a year with nothing but good things to say about the distro and its community.

The metal subgenre?

Twin Peaks. Couldn’t stand it.

I totally understand. I was half joking with my comment. Hopefully this is just a case of all of us going down to the Winchester for a pint and waiting for this all to blow over.

Europe is dope though. Way better than this car infested, stroad-ridden, big box infested corporate dystopia we live in in North America.

I spent 8 months living and working in France and wonder why the hell I came back to NA every single day.

They “trust” me.

Dumb fucks.

“Why is Jim treating the magician poorly?” :/

Extol’s “Burial” is one of the greatest metal albums of all time, IMO

Antestor is another killer Christian metal band.

Why am I not surprised?

Same here. Left and never looked back.

As a Canadian, I spent eight months living in France a couple years ago. Had nothing but great experiences with people. I had one pharmacist be a little snooty with me. But other than that, they were very helpful regardless and very nice.

What I realized is that they place a lot of value in their native language and it’s very important to them to speak it clearly and properly whenever possible so they won’t usually hesitate to correct you.

The vast majority of people were stoked that we were speaking French at all. It’s really changed my perspective on the French language in my own country for the better, to be honest. I just get it now.

Same here.

Not for the capitalists running these companies.

On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he’s either a babyman where he’s all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he’s a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he’s hyper.

On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by ‘Frey’, but when she’s in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her ‘Turbo Cylinder’ because she’s very tubular in shape at high speed.

You put sandbags in the bed of a truck to get more traction on the rear wheels for acceleration purposes. The sandbags in the bed are going to make your situation worse if you have to try and stop with no traction.
