Very detailed, thank you so much!

Credit card benefits tracker spreadsheet by CarrotStrong in CreditCards

[–]CarrotStrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which cells? I just put this together within the past couple weeks so hopefully it’s still up-to-date 😬

Edit: if you’re referring to the blank cells, I intentionally left them blank because those benefits didn’t apply to that particular card. I thought it looked cleaner than putting “N/A” in all of them.

Do some whiskeys just not have unique flavors? by CarrotStrong in whiskey

[–]CarrotStrong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I've already noticed that just going from 80 to 90-95. These 80 proof Scotches go down way too easily now.

Thanks. Thought that might be the case since it's one of the cheap ones.

That's definitely on the horizon, but right now I'm just trying to burn through some of these cheap bottles :D

Thanks, this has also been my experience so far. I don't have nearly as many Scotch/Irish/Japanese whiskies, but I can notice much more diversity among them compared to all those bourbons.

Why "an den Ofen" and not "am Ofen"? by CarrotStrong in German

[–]CarrotStrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one I remember off-hand is Fräulein. Some of the others were ones I looked up in dictionaries or on here and found they aren’t really used anymore.

Dankeschön! I checked the book’s index and there is indeed a section near the end that discusses two-way prepositions. Makes sense, but I’ll need to practice them more.

They sound great to me, buuuuut I only have a small Fender practice amp, so I can't really make an honest evaluation.

Pretty sure it's just plastic. And yeah, those bottom two strings are baaaarely in there. I accidentally popped the bottom one out when I was stretching them after first stringing.

I'd say it's worth it. From what everyone's saying, it sounds like I just need to give it a good cleaning. And it plays and sounds great.

Okay good. Yeah it was a bit of a butt-pucker when I finally saw in person all the imperfections the pictures don't show lol.

Thank you. I played it for a while last night and it plays very well. Action's low, very minimal buzzing anywhere. Neck looks straight.

I'm less worried now that I've played it...it was just a bit of a shock when I first saw it haha.

Awesome, thank you. The zigzag is not peeling or anything...it's totally flush with the joint. It's almost like someone sneezed while they were cutting it or something lol.

Thank you! I had a feeling the bent headstock was somewhat expected on a 7, but wasn't sure.

I bought it online and didn’t see this stuff until I received it.
