Of all the music apps, why? I HATE Youtube Music. I only use it because I get it free with Youtube Premium, but its a shit app. Google Music and Google Podcasts died for this?

First off, I can't separate my podcasts from my music like I used to when we had two discrete apps, so whenever I want to listen to one, it erases the queue for the other. Why not have the ability to have seperate playlists for each?

Then there was the whole "merging your liked Youtube videos with your liked songs", so you'd get the audio from a 7 minute video playing at random intervals while you're just trying to listen to music. To their credit, they did fix that after several months of user complaints.

It also crashes fairly regularly when I'm broadcasting to my Google home speaker, which is actually kind of funny when you think about it.

All in all, 2/10 app, would not recommend.

Right? The democracts need to stop being the "not as bad" party and start being the "actually good for people" party if they want people to vote for them.

Ill always remember the clip of Jordan Klepper at a Trump rally talking to a guy who has been making four times as much as he ever did under Obama during the Trump presidency.

His field of work? Debt relief.

Womp womp.

Newsflash: with the increasing extreme weather events, everywhere is becoming a "disaster-prone area".

Asheville, NC is 300 miles from the nearest coast and still got its shit rocked by a hurricane.

AI "art" removes the hurdle for the wealthy of actually having talent to produce "art", while simultaneously removing the artist's ability to produce wealth from their talents.

Everytime someone shares an AI generated video, song, picture, etc., I cringe a little. Its just not good, or at best, anything that couldn't be produced by a reasonably capable artist, but hey at least its free, right?

You can reliably quickly tell if a news source is credible depending on how many appeals to emotion and superfluous adjectives/descriptors are found in their articles.

A lot of it is about parsing multiple sources, and extrapolating the data from the spin.

Israel has killed approximately FIVE TIMES as many kids under the age of ten alone than the entire Israeli casualty count from Oct 7.

This is not defense, its extermination. I have no idea how anyone can look at the data and take it any other way.

Canadian here. No, you fucking dont. We basically have 2 major players (Loblaws and Sobeys), and they were caught red-handed fixing the price of bread a few years ago, and faced next to no punishment for it.

 

This thing punches waaaaay above its weight class in terms of price to playability. It is actually stupid how much better it is than my LP. Neck heel is beautiful, completely open access to the upper frets. A nice, chunky, matte neck, too.

It also has a coil-tap-but-not-coil-tap on the tone knob push pull that gives a little more bite and chime single coil character but with minimal output loss.

Another thing I really appreciate is that Yamaha took the time to wire the pots correctly so when I turn them "forward" (counterclockwise), the volume goes up. Some other, bigger companies do not always take the time to do this.

All in all, a solid guitar for a great price. Highly recommend giving it a look if you are in the market for a versatile HH guitar.

I bought this bike six years ago as my first bike, and it only had ~22,000kms on it, not bad for a 35 year old (at the time) bike.

Its been my bike that I have learned on, not just rising, but hard lessons in general. Some of these include:

  • Do not tarp your bike as soon as you are done riding, the tarp will melt on the exhaust pipes.
  • Check your clutch cable regularly to see if its wearing out so it doesn't snap on you in the middle of traffic (and also the day before your road test).
  • It is very hard to find a clutch cable on short notice on a Saturday evening.
  • Oil changes require a crush washer, or you will leak oil. A lot of oil.
  • On that note, it is recommended that oil changes take place a little more frequently than once every five years.
  • You should bring your bike in for a tire change while the tires can still hold air for longer than 2 hours.
  • Bring your battery inside in the winter so water inside doesn't freeze, and you wont have to boost your battery every 2 weeks.
  • Also read the battery instructions carefully and don't overfill it, causing the battery juice to leak out onto your pipes and rusting them up.

Despite all my lack of awareness in maintenance and general care, this this is still going strong. So far all I've had to replace is the clutch cable (mentioned above), a headlamp, and a fuse. It is a testament to how well these old UJM bikes were built that its still running despite my less than regular maintenance schedule.

I'm still new to this, so I havent been able to find an Instance for guitar amps.

I recently scored this 1958 Gibson GA8 Gibsonette and I'm kind of really stoked on it. Its got a pretty unique circuit that uses 2 6v6 in a parallell single ended configuration instead of the usual push-pull. Less volume, but boy howdy does it get greasy.

Anyone else have some unique amps that they want to share with the class?
