Can't believe I was thinking about turning off DMs today.

DM conversation between me and a sad person reads

your a fag right

(Actually it's you're)

You guys on the left are to easy to trigger and fun to bully

Did I invade your save space

(Actually it's safe space)

It’s starting to come together… …and I was able to chase down the pesky ground loop that was killing my sound.

A pedalboard in a carrying case. A total of 7 pedals are shown:

- A moog expression pedal
- Ernie Ball volume jr
- Chase Bliss Audio Automatone Preamp MK II
- Boss FZ-3 Fuzz
- Boss TU- 3 tuner
- Chase Bliss Audio Clean
- Strymon Timeline
- Strymon BigSky

First impressions from my new CBA Clean: calling this a compressor is like calling an RV a large car; the compression is a platform for everything from clean boost and overdrive to volume, EQ, and modulation, all based on playing dynamics. Very excited to work this into my sound. Sample below.

Merry Christmas to me! Now I just need to find TRS to TR splitters in town so I don’t have to wait a week to use it in stereo.

A Chase Bliss “Clean” guitar pedal is shown displayed on top of its packaging.

Dear WSJ — 17 year olds cannot sign contracts or consent to sex with adults. The term we use for sexual contact without consent is “sexual assault” or “rape.” Matt Gaetz gave a 17 year money and then raped her. 👏🏻 Stop 👏🏻 Using 👏🏻 Biased 👏🏻 Language 👏🏻 TYSM

Christmas Pro Tip: I was tired of spilling water when I water our Christmas tree, so I leaned on my #redneckengineering skills to build a watering system. The pipe is an IKEA curtain rod and I sourced the funnel from our kitchen.

A man’s hand is holding a gray pipe with a funnel in the top. The background is a wide shot of the interior of a home with a Christmas tree featuring prominently.

The pipe and funnel is an engineered tool for watering a Christmas tree directly into the stand without spilling from a jar or watering can.

Project 1: Travel Guitar The onboard amp has failed and needs replacement. Do I: - Replace it with a 9v 2.5 watt onboard amp - Pull the speaker entirely and replace with a multi-effect - Wire in a Bluetooth output

A small guitar sits on a man’s lap in a family room. The guitar has a single coil pickup in the neck position and a volume knob. Cut into the guitar is a circle with a speaker grill and speaker.

The guitar itself has a maple neck with black dot inlay. The body is a strat-style double cutaway finished in zebra stripes.

Fascinating result from Grok. Whether the explanation is accurate or an unprovable deception to cover impropriety is of little import — either way it’s a significant failure.

Apologies to the pedalboard/guitar community for the cable management in this photo. Yes, I know it looks like a flowchart of Jeff Beck’s professional associations. Eurotrack enthusiasts are probably just confused why it’s a problem for cabling to be as disorganized as their mental health.

Luthiers — looking to refinish a guitar and I just watched the StewMac video series on painting. Seems like the type of paint for color won’t matter much since it’s sandwiched between latex and nitro. Is this what others have found?

Afternoon guitar noodling. Laid down a quick backing track and spent an hour or so just improvising.

A bedspread is covered in multiple pieces of musical equipment. To the right is a surf green Fender Telecaster. Center left is a pedal board with four pedals, a Strymon TimeLine, a Strymon BigSky, a Boss tuning pedal, and a Chase Bliss Automatone Preamp II. These pedals are resting on a bamboo tray.

In the upper right corner of the photo is a Scarlett 18i8 interface.

Today’s Journaling: Pen: Sailor Shikiori Tsukuyo-no-Minamo (月夜の水面 — water’s surface on a moonlit night), Shimoyo (霜夜 — frosty night). Stainless <F> nib. Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo (that’s right, another reading of the same characters — 月夜 — moonlit night)

A journal is shown with an open fountain pen. There’s and entry written and a photobooth strip is laid across the entry.

The pen is a Sailor ProColor 500 Shikiori “Frosty Night,” a deep, glittery turquoise with a pearlescent white top on the cap and gold trim. The nib is a stainless steel fine nib with coloring to match the other trim.

Can someone please explain how the NYPD is justifying: 1. Nationalization of the manhunt for for the UHC shooter AND 2. Public support of aforementioned manhunt A private citizen was killed — there is no demonstrable public interest in committing more resources to this crime over any other.
