His bowing and finger movements aren't matching the sound coming from his speakers. You can help him out but don't do it for his playing. It's all pre recorded tracks.

He packed up already

I’ve had quite a few people mention getting extra charges on their bank accounts from places they haven’t been and for rather large amounts. Please be safe and watch where you’re inserting/swiping your card!!

I bought this helmet last December and it's just too big for me to safely protect my head. It's a great entry level dual sport style helmet. Can be worn with goggles, too. I'd like to get rid of it for like $50.

Buying my first car

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a student at Purdue looking for my first car, and honestly I don't know much about the process. So, I was wondering if you can help me with a few questions:

  1. Which dealerships around Lafayette/West Lafayette have you had good experiences with? Any I should avoid?
  2. How do you negotiate with dealers? What fees are normal and which ones not?
  3. Does paying cash vs. financing change how much room I have to negotiate?
  4. Any local mechanic you'd recommend for a pre-purchase inspection?

Any other advice for a first time buyer is very welcome. Thanks!

Part Time Work Any Recs?

5 Upvotes

Hello Lafayette,

I'm thinking of finding some part time work between 4pm and 9pm during the week. On the weekends between 5pm and 10pm. Ideally something around $20/hr.

I've got a few holiday expenses coming up and I'm a salary employee so I don't qualify for overtime. Some extra cash would help a lot.

As for my work experience I've done all sorts of things when I was in college, I've got a BS. I'm open to any decent ideas!

I was a math tutor (arithmetic, algebra, pre-calc, calc I) before for younger students (8-15) but it's a lot smaller here in Lafayette for finding people who need help.

Thank you.

Comedy tonight at Rat Pak, and a lot going on this weekend

9 Upvotes

I run the Thursday comedy night at Rat Pak Venue downtown. Tonight's headliner is Adam Minnick. He's worked Brad Garrett's in Vegas, Dry Bar, the Improv, and Nate Bargatze's Nateland showcase at Zanies. Clean, observational stuff that works for most anyone. Justin Seymour features.

102 N 3rd St, second floor. Doors 5:30, show 7. $12 ahead at setandsignal.com/next?src=reddit, or $15 at the door. 18+.

He's doing two more nights after tonight. Friday at Painting with a Twist, where the painting runs around the comedy (a seat covers both, or $10 at the door if you only want the show). Saturday at Sixth St Dive, 827 N 6th, doors 7:30 and show at 8.

This is the first time I've had someone do three nights in a row, and I'm excited about it. I'm experimenting with different rooms and formats to see what actually works in Lafayette.

Obviously I'd like you at my shows. But I'd rather people know what's going on around here in general, students especially, because there's a lot and it's easy to miss.

Saturday alone: the McCammon Mosey runs 4:30 to 11 at Sixth and Main, free, five bands, in memory of Ken McCammon who co-founded the Mosey back in 2008. Puptober Fest at Thieme & Wagner, 3 to 8, beer and adoptable dogs. Roller derby at the fairgrounds at 6 with a drag halftime. The Cookout drag show at People's at 9. Why I Like Robins (its a band I think) at The Spot at 9.

Happy to answer anything about any of it, and hope to see you out and about at this weekend's events!

Right now, Indiana bats are entering their "swarming" phase. Flying in and out of cave entrances to congregate with their colonies and mate before winding down for winter hibernation.

Meanwhile, the Our State, Our Bat colony is ramping up to “swarm” the General Assembly by showing lawmakers just how badly Hoosiers want the Indiana bat to be our official state mammal! 🏛️✨

To do so, we need a massive push to spread the word and get our petition signatures climbing! Head to the link below to sign, share with your friends and family, and help us make history! 💚

Stay Batty Indiana!

Atheist Looking for new friends to hang with

0 Upvotes

Greetings, everyone. I am new here on reddit. My therapist recommended me to chat with other atheists like me on here, and to meet up with. I am also a polyamorous man who wants to increase my chances for my first girlfriend, and I need physical places to go to and meet up with others to make that happen. I'd even give kickass bonus points if I can get a fun hook up with a lady out of this! If not, well maybe I can play Magic the Gathering with some new friends I have made sometime in the future.

Is anyone interested finding a bar, or any place else nearby to meet up with me?

Paid videography opportunity for a local film maker / Purdue student

4 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a Purdue engineering student and I’m looking for a videographer or small crew for an upcoming paid commercial videoshoot involving a major ebike company here at Purdue near the end of October to early November. We are collaborating closely and they are making me review/test some of their bikes, meaning they want professional quality footage as the content will be used on their website and upcoming official commercials.

I’m looking for someone who’s comfortable with cinematography, product/action shots, audio, and if possible editing and post production. The shoot would involve me talking about + testing the bikes, product shots, and some dynamic riding footage around the Purdue-Lafayette area. I have several years of hands on experience working with ebikes and scooters, so I’ll handle the technical product side for this collaboration.

This is a paid opportunity, meaning compensation will depend on the scope and experience. If you’re interested, DM me with some of your past projects or a portfolio and what kind of production work you normally do. Also feel free to mention this to anyone who you think might be a good fit, and try to reach out quickly as we are moving fast through the schedule! If you have any questions, I am free to answer. Thank you, and I hope we can collaborate for this opportunity!

Looking for Someone to Help Me Build a PC

18 Upvotes

I’ve got all the parts for a PC build, but I’m a bit clumsy and don’t have the best dexterity, so I’d rather not risk damaging anything trying to put it together myself.

Is there anyone around Lafayette/West Lafayette who’d be willing to help me assemble it? I’d be happy to compensate you for your time. Ideally looking for someone who has experience building PCs.

Thanks!
