Kathlen Onyx Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 While we are on the topic of music and clubs my latest pet peeve is hosts that control the dance pads. They seem to have 3-4 dances that they like and play them over and over and over. Either that or you are sitting there for half the song swaying back and forth because they can't figure out which one to choose only to choose one that they just choose 2 songs ago. I would much prefer that clubs do away with dance pads completely and just put an intan up with single dances in it and let you choose which ones. Also a pet peeve are clubs that restrict scripts so you can't use your own dances...BIG pet peeve right there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While on dances --- I remember one club had a sign saying if you weren't dancing, you might be asked to leave. I got a screen shot of it somewhere, I need to find it. Last visit to that club the sign was gone. Edited August 27, 2021 by Kimmi Zehetbauer Forgot to say it was the sign that was gone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places still.do that? They used to do that 12 years ago when I started. I've been at some extremely busy places and they don't have scripts off. Wow, hope I don't accidentally wander into one of those clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge pet peeve. It's the scripts that cause the lag .. not our badly designed club in the middle of a 50 vendor mall spewing particle and alpha blended effects, staffed by a dozen hyper detailed bot avatars to game search and make us look popular against a background of pseudo video walls. None of that .. it's YOUR dance hud. It's YOU. YOU PERSONALLY are making us lag. Hey everyone lets point at the resource intensive script score board and blame YOU for all the lag here. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 One is those laggy Lindo board and their huds. One club my man played at the owner decided to plop her Lindo in the club. Boy did everything go slower then a glacier! No one was listening to the stream and my man signed off early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kimmi, Patch, Silent, So, Strawberry hasn't shared their love yet. Tip please." NO /me ejects and bans self because not playing that bs. Next time try asking why you didn't get a tip because if you don't get one from me I'm either broke or someone else isn't doing a satisfactory job. I don't reward mediocrity or arrogance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone wanting to argue is the only reason anyone has ever contacted me inworld about a forum post. I've received forum messages from folks, sometimes many days/weeks afterwards, from folks that just wanted to comment on something I said -- commenting, not scream and argue with you.

Garnet Psaltery Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Someone IM'd me to ask me to get them unbanned from a certain region, because they'd misunderstood what I said in the forum.

Orwar Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Peeve: the anglicisation of, well, everything. Last night on the national Swedish television, the news anchor called the hurricane 'ay-da'. Ida is an ancient Germanic name, that is very popular in Sweden - it's pronounced 'ee-da'. On a tangent of linguistic pet peeves, I get pretty ticked off when 'Murricans say they're going to fill their car with gas. Petrol is a liquid, gas is what you get when you eat raw onions, if 'gasoline' is too long to say you should've just stuck with petrol. If someone in Europe says they're going to fill their car with gas, you get out of the car and hope it wasn't anything worse than raw onions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is "petrol" an abbreviation, it's an abbreviation for something that it isn't. Petrol isn't an abbreviation for petroleum, it's a refined product made from petroleum. The part which the obviously American narrator refers to as 'gasoline' is originally called petrol, the word 'gasoline' came when said product was sold under the trademark 'Cazeline' in the mid-1800's by John Cassel. When another merchant sold counterfeit Cazeline, Cassel forced the competition to change their name - so they changed it to Gazeline. Somehow, that trademark name for the product became the commonly used term across the pond, but it's about as correct as to call any old hazelnut spread 'Nutella'.

Rowan Amore Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The Oxford English Dictionary dates its first recorded use to 1863 when it was spelled "gasolene". The term "gasoline" was first used in North America in 1864. The word petroleum, originally used to refer to various types of mineral oils and literally meaning "rock oil", comes from Medieval Latin petroleum (petra, "rock", and oleum, "oil").[11][12] "Petrol" was used as a product name in about 1870, as the name of a refined mineral oil pro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theresa Tennyson nods and smiles. Of course it isn't. And "Petrol" was originally also a trade name. https://web.archive.org/web/20110628204613/http://vintagegarage.co.uk/histories/carless capel %26 leonard.htm So, if "gasoline" is Nutella, "petrol" is Nussfit.

Expand But but but, propane. hehehe We actually had a truck that ran on propane..What a beater that thing was.. hehehe Gasoline and propane are both gases at the time of combustion and liquids in the tank. There are, of course, significant differences in the fuel delivery systems between the two fuels, owing to their significantly different boiling points.
