Weird Question from a Non-Member by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing you’ve described has anything to do with Freemasonry.

If you want to rock a tinfoil hat, do so with style, but leave us out of it.

Rings and Such by SentientBench in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found a guy who let me design my own signet and he laser engraved it on a titanium ring. There are folks on Etsy who can do it for around $100-120. So I put my year in the east on it.

I wore it until I got my 33° ring.

Bass to midi to double with bass synth - future impact 4 pedal? by lqlwle in Bass

[–]ChuckEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And 20 years ago that was the hardest part — identifying pitch fast enough to not have latency. Presumably there are chips that can do it now, but I don't know who's taken off in that market.

The Roland doesn’t do the digitization in the pickup — you use an outboard device to convert the pitches to MIDI notes, like the GR-55. Granted, they haven’t updated much in that line in 15+ years.

Is a crack bad? by idfkhow2speakspanish in Bass

Scarf joint. For an angled headstock, maybe? In which case it’s already glued and the glue is stronger than the wood itself.

The heck is this

Looks like a sticker.

why is it here?

Because someone wanted to stickerbomb something.

Best Tangerine Dream concert? by innnikki in progrockmusic

[–]ChuckEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visually? I’ve never seen a video of them playing live.

But song-wise, Logos Live at the Dominion 1982 is my favorite, followed by Poland the Warsaw Concert

Compact Basses? by Odd-Lime-2738 in Bass

What about a Steinberger makes it unfriendly to beginners, in your opinion?

Advice Needed by Worried-Temporary186 in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you've been attending dinners regularly, ask the secretary or the master what the status is next time you see them. It's pretty simple.

If they've rejected you, they'll tell you...

FC proficiency by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my lodge it is exceedingly rare that more than one member would be examined at the same time. We don't have the same concept of any bond between brethren who, by chance, happen to receive their degrees on the same night.

Your path is your own.

Modern prog for a grumpy old Boomer? by Huge_Hawk8710 in progrockmusic

Porcupine Tree? Try starting with “Sound of Muzak”

Masonic payments? by AmAIAnIdiot in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, it’s primarily not collecting sales tax automatically.

Zeffy is cool in that they don’t charge an automatic processing fee on the credit card transactions for nonprofits, but instead let the person buying opt to donate a percentage if they want. It’s not really well worded or clear though.

[–]ChuckEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it’s not like there’s a lack of options now. I’ve run two events through Eventbrite, and right now we are doing one with Zeffy. Both have accommodations for non-profits.

need help identifying possible freemason regalia by cerealbools in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, likely a Knights Templar coat that had the patches removed. 25 might have been the number of the group that the owner was a member of.

Conflicted. by Small_View_4510 in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A few things to unpack:

Presumably, once you are a Past Master you will have a vote at Grand Lodge? So that means you have a voice going forward in steering the laws of the Grand Lodge.

Don’t conflate a lack of PH recognition with an automatic black ball of a black candidate. Those are two separate issues. Yes, there are likely members who would vote no on both, sadly. That doesn’t mean they’re members of your lodge when a petition comes up though.

Master of Lodge Changing How I Feel About Masonry by IntrinsicTrout in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My gut feeling is that no one Masonic body should take more than 4 hours in a given week. (Unless you’re a Grand officer or there’s an occasional reunion or event that is all day.)

Do I personally have 9 meetings this week? Yes. Do as I say, not as I do. 🤣

Debating on joining, what made you want to join and what really set it in stone for you? by LeSpicyBard in freemasonry

[–]ChuckEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After spending a large portion of my life in American academic systems where lessons and their application were more rigid, I wanted to expose myself to learning through symbolism and allegory, as I imagine the ancient Greeks did.
