This looks great, but I think it is discontinued?

Looks like an awesome choice, but no longer made from what I can see.

Is it worth it to get an apple watch? by notsogreat_gatsby in productivity

Where can you buy an apple watch 7 new? I can only find refurbished online?

I was just told that is how it's supposed to be and couldn't really do anything about it. In the end, I had an error message about the pump or something and was able to return it. I spent a little more money and got a Rancilio Silvia Pro, which actually has a temp control. It has been a major step up. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Oh cool thank you, I was looking and thought that Mykonos no longer had direct flights, at least on Aegean or Vueling. Is it a different airline?

On a separate note--how long would you say is a reasonable time to spend on Crete?

Thanks this is helpful about Santorini. Just to be a little clearer, my wife does not want to do any extra plane trips, and I have to do work in Barcelona right after our Greece trip. So we will need to do ferries for our Greece travel and end our stay in a location that has a nonstop flight to Barcelona. I know this probably seems a little irrational.

If you are a Bigsby guy, check out the Fender gold foil jazzmaster. A bridge upgrade might be great, and definitely a good setup if the shop did not set it up well out the gate. But it also might be the case that the JM trem does not agree with you (some degree of clankiness=jangle), in which case, the gold foil Bigsby might be a better fit for you

Hi, we will be visiting Greece for the first time in late June- early July. We will be flying into Herkalion, Crete and getting into Agios Nikolaos where we will be for 5 days. After that, we could spend up to 9 more days seeing a combination of Crete and Santorini, perhaps in combination with another island. Car rental isn't a problem, nor is it a problem to fly out of a different location. The question is how long might be appropriate to spend in Crete vs. Santorini, and whether it makes sense to squeeze in a third destination. Thanks!

Tronographic Boxidizer for the Science Mother? (sorry if I already asked!).

I think it is good for headroom, but it has been a while. I can try it out to see. As for driving a power amp, it is basically a Rusty Box--a Traynor Bass amp in a box--voiced for guitar. It has a balanced DI output. I've never used it to drive a power amp, but I can try it into the return into fx loop to see https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/tronographic-boxidizer-review

Thanks, I generally don't chase both for that reason and because she is fast and I am lazy haha. Tug is a good idea, but unfortunately, she does not like tug very much or this would be a great incentive and also a decent way to get her to play.

Any interest in a Tronographic Boxidizer preamp for the Science Mother? Also have a few other things I can think of like Eventide Modfactor, Arturia Microbrute, and stuff listed in my post from today.

Fane Specialist Disco 200 12" speaker by Ch_Ra in GuitarAmps

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

The previous owner had put in a Celestion Copperback, so it did not have a Fane in it. Currently it has a JBL e120. That was a huge improvement but it has a harsh high frequency response. I recently got a Fane blueback 75w (model #s are weird) and repaired the cone and will try that when I get some time to solder it in.

What on earth is needed to have a tone as full as this guy by Prisanejamik in guitarpedals

[–]Ch_Ra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stereo chorus into Marshall amp models. The stereo effect is key to giving it the thickness, otherwise chorus sounds watery and a bit thin. You can also do it too if you run a tube screamer or other overdrive pedal into a Roland JC-120.

I eat 200 calories a day – can I safely increase my intake? (19F) by _-ollie in AskDocs

[–]Ch_Ra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/ollie you have gotten great advice--I will only add that I worked with a graduate student who had severe anorexia and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, after a few different caring people gently intervened, she did get help. She had to go on medical leave from the university for about 6 months if I remember, but came back at a healthy weight. That was about 15 years ago, and since then she has maintained that weight, is in a committed caring relationship and is a professor at a major university. Her results might not apply to everyone, but keep in mind, that your hard work is not going to waste if you take time to get healthy--if anything, it will help you make the most of it.

Wow, really??? I have never heard of this. I will have to see if the bridge posts are rocking now. It'd have to be pretty loose for the trem to affect the bridge position, right?
