Looking for some fellow metal heads to jam with

8 Upvotes

Metal drummer (don't smoke, drink, or do drugs) looking for some like minded people to jam with. I run an ekit, but have a 550watt speaker for it, so volume isn't an issue. Not looking for anything serious, but I miss playing with people. I can play quite a bit of different stuff (within limits, ofc lol), and have recently been working on more extreme metal skills. The bands I'm enjoying playing right now are Slipknot, Rivers of Nihil, Orbit Culture, and other heavier bands/songs with fast double bass. Also like playing slower stuff, and can catch on to anything quickly. Architects, Imminence, Spiritbox, Vana, ASAVA, and Fit For A King have been some of my favorites lately, but that changes by the day sometimes lol hit me up if you wanna jam and just rock the hell out.

Oh, also, I live in an apartment and can't practice with other people here. I'm walking a thin line with the downstairs neighbors as it is 😆

Best bakery for unique bread, specifically hot dog buns.

I’m looking to make some Chicago style hot dog buns as original as possible and didn’t know if anywhere around town would actually have hot dog buns with black sesame seeds on them? If not somewhere that just makes good, fresh hot dog buns as a viable option?

First Energy Job Offer and Relocation

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I work in the utility industry (on the corporate side) and recently received a job offer from First Energy for a Program Manager position at their HQ location in Fairlawn. The total compensation and relocation benefits look great, but the reviews of the company seem very concerning.

I cannot tell if this is backlash from the company's recent RTO mandate (understandable) or a systemic and cultural problem with the company. Before accepting and moving over 2000 miles to the area I was hoping someone could shed some light on the company right now? Most concerns seem to stem from work-life-balance and staffing issues as of late (both things I don't have to worry about at my current company.)

Thanks for any help!

Anyone need fall cleanup or leaf removal around Akron?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone, I own a small landscaping business called Otherside Landscaping and Lawncare out of the Portage Lakes area.

I recently left my full-time job to focus on growing my business, and I'm looking to pick up some more work before winter hits.

With all the leaves falling, I'm currently offering fall cleanups, leaf removal, bush trimming, cutting back plants, gutter cleaning, and general yard cleanups. I can also haul everything away so you don't have to deal with it.

I work around Akron, Green, Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, Uniontown, and the surrounding areas.

I'm happy to give free estimates, and no job is too small to ask about.

If anyone needs some work done or knows someone who does, feel free to shoot me a message. I'd really appreciate the opportunity!

Thanks everyone!

Unclaimed funds

2 Upvotes

Has anyone filed for unclaimed funds since it was announced that the new stadium was going to be funded from that account? How long did it take for you to get your funds if so? The website says it could take up to 120 days or more. I submitted my claim and supporting docs in March.
