I'd sugges that you need to have faith in the innovative skills of highly intelligent human beings, who will sort these issues out over time. This isn't a short or even medium run proposition.

I'm not sure what more faith you'd expect me to convey? For a petrolhead that's pretty enlightened.dodint wrote: I'm not anti-electric car, I think once it's all sorted it'll solve a lot of different problems.
If there is any sense of urgency it's that I hope they do figure it out early enough to give to the third world so we don't globally continue to echo the industrial revolution and the harm it causes environmentally.

He jerks who run the world love the status quo. It's their favorite thing. For better or worse.
So I'm not worried about the future of energy. They'll figure it out.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
People who at shows just stand there with their stupid phones or whatever and record audio/video all night. You are there to enjoy the show! You look like a tool standing in the middle of the floor with your iphone held high trying to get audio/video. I think it's just compounded be the fact that EVERYONE does it now, so when you watch a band live performance half the people in the crowd are standing their like drones with their phones up in the air. Just dumb.

I use the Warrior Dynasty AX2 matte, 100 flex, Zetterberg curve. I've never held a grip stick with my hockey gloves on. When I feel them in the store I can't wrap my head around wanting to play with a grip stick. And now when I shope for sticks online 75% of them are grip!meow wrote:Warrior dynasty grip are the best sticks ever made. Of all time!

Do you find yourself watching your crappy bootleg very often?
Seems pointless. Take a picture if you want proof you were there.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
It is one of those things that feels all funky at first. After a few times using it, I don't think I could go back to non-gripped sticks.yubb wrote:I use the Warrior Dynasty AX2 matte, 100 flex, Zetterberg curve.

Tried recording a song when Foo Fighters played at Consol in 2011. Between having to navigate between moving heads and the poor sound quality, it wasn't worth it.shmenguin wrote:Do you find yourself watching your crappy bootleg very often?

I mean I know people use to hold up tape recorders back in the day, but at least those things didn't have 6 inch screens that could light up a room. I dunno. It just drives me nuts. The thing that brought this on is I was watching the Metallica performance from the Concert of Valor tribute from a couple days ago, and the entire audience was holding up their stupid phones during all 3 songs. It's like WTF. Hard to get an exact shot, but you will see what I mean below.

There was a story a little ways back about Peter Frampton taking a concert goers phone and chucking it to the back of the stage destroying it.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I've had a similar peeve in the past. I don't understand people that go on vacation and take snapshots of empty landscapes. I have very few photos without a member of my family or something personally significant in them. Same with folks that record sporting events on their phone or video camera. Enjoy the show and let the professional TV crews record for you.mikey287 wrote:That's society today...don't live in the moment now, when I could partially experience the moment later...

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Someone right behind me was doing that at a show I was at some months ago, it was like someone driving right behind you with their high beams on...really obnoxious. My friend just stuck his hand in front of the guys' phone till he stopped.

if you're using a device that will give you a quality recording, you're filming at a good angle, and you intend to share with other fans, have at it hoss. otherwise, i don't know what you're gaining.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I work in Cubicle Land and the upper cube wall directly in front of me is a row of glass panels so I can look straight ahead and see clearly what is in front of me. A girls sits in the cube in front of me and her whole morning usually consists of: Online shopping (Gap, Old Navy, Amazon, etc), Facebook, Gmail, Instagram, playing around with her iPhone and then her nails. In between all of that she will socialize with some other people on our team, mainly complaining about something (usually her husband) . Then its lunch time. Rinse and repeat for most of the afternoon. She might do 30-60 minutes of work a day. She doesn't even try to hide her web browsing as she does it on a 21 inch widescreen monitor angled directly where people can see it easily. From what I can gather, she is pretty well liked around the office so yeah... I don't know why those sites are even unblocked in the first place. Ticks me off.
