The first time I saw Lebowski, I was kinda meh. But subsequent viewings caused it to grow on me.

Miller’s Crossing. Great flick.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

Absolutely overrated. When I saw it, I kept wondering why everyone else loved it so much. I don't think I laughed once during the whole film.

You probably didn't smoke enough pot before you watched it. That really is kind of key . . . it makes the flying scenes dreamy!

I wish I could smoke it these days. But I really can't. Anxiety flies through the roof and I end up pulling a whitey EVERY SINGLE GODAMNED TIME!

Definitely smoke pot while watching Lebowski, that’s non negotiable.

I do not recommend watching American Psycho on LSD though, unless you have a really good sense of humor. I thought it was hilarious but my friends did not

Tried it once and it had zero effect.

I ate some cress whilst watching Free Willy once.

Sounds much healthier!

It helps me with PTSD, which is why I still use it. But like many things in life, use in moderation is key.

Interesting, as much as I’m a history fanatic and was fascinated with how WWII went down for many years, I’ve never heard Holocaust Survivors referred to as ‘camp survivors’ without a specific title of ‘concentration camp survivor’ or ‘death camp survivor’ as there are multiple ‘camps’ in relation to the military that would leave ‘camp survivor’ completely ambiguous.

If you’ve got any evidence of the contrary that doesn’t come from a Reddit quote, I’m all eyes and ears.

I have friends whose parents are. And yes camp survivors without a thing qualifier is a thing.
Now that said, I’m so fucking tired of political correctness.

English is not my first language, but the first thing that came to my mind is a survivor from some kind of outdoor skill-survivor castaway recreational program for kids or teenagers. Hence my horror movie poster

Google agrees

How are you managing so many blocks from different sources, plus your own blocks? I have a real mess. Many of them -old or corrupted - do not even load properly

I think that I will delete everything, and start from scratch. Starting with these (thank you @BROCKSTAR) but then you add Leon's, Simeon's, Yek's, DCL86's, Fremen's... and The Mother of All's... and you end up with a messed up rabbit hole that is impossible to navigate.

If I come across something I want to keep, I load it in a preset and save it on the device. A preset can contain lots of block settings. I keep track through scene names.

These days I find many block defaults to suffice, so I have no urge to keep stuff like "true Phase 90" or "rare '89 Big Muff Pi", etc.
I care less and that saves so much time.

Today I have played with the VOX AC30 models with a Rangemaster box.
The AC30 has a very unique distortion characteristic, I've heard it plenty of times listening to Queen but dialing the amp myself let me have a better 'feel' for the range of this amp.
When pushed it is less crunchy than a Marshall but also gainier, rounder, rawer, buzzier and harder to control, a completely different sound than preamp based distortion I am so used to, hmm... almost sounds like it wasn't designed to sound musical when pushed.
I need more time with the AC30, humbuckers didn't do it justice at all, next time I will use my strat.

no negative feedback, low power but unhinged EL84 = $$$

in all honesty, the block admin can be a nightmare.
Some historic saved block favorites can have parameters that simply aren't there or at least visible any more, the reverbs as an example.
The only way around it that I see, is to do screen shots of what you can see, delete the old favorite block, instantiate a new block, manually plug in the settings you now see and resave so it's current.
