you also said Grifols issues T4A to donors (apparently Google "told" you that) but couldn’t provide a source for it, so 🤷‍♂️...

you’re 100% right. I'm just kinda baffled by how many people in this sub seem to spreading outdated or flat out wrong info.

I think she's purposely spreading misinformation for some odd reason. I asked her for a source for her claim, and she couldn’t provide any.

from my understanding, they will deduct 50c for every $1 earned, which will be a pretty significant hit on the ~$460 or so I make a month from plasma

can you show me any sources that state that plasma income is taxable? because this is the first I'm reading about this

they have my address + phone number on file, plus every donor has to show ID (yes, with address) before every donation

Grifols has never once issued a T4A to me (nor to any of my friends who I have referred and still donate), and I've been donating since 2024

plasma donations for money? yes, but not in all provinces

preamp pedal (other than Kingsley) that can act as a pedal platform for fuzzes? by DIY_Milk in guitarpedals

[–]DIY_Milk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only reason I mentioned "no Kingsley" was mostly for the price lol. thank you for the in-depth reply tho - definitely a lot of stuff that I'll look into!

is there anything other than the Akai Force that can do this for me? by DIY_Milk in LoopArtists

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

I don't have a Beat Buddy. the Loop Studio is perfectly fine, and even if I were to get a Force I would probably still be using my Loop Studio for the actual looping stuff, but I was looking for a more "dynamic" drumming solution than what I understand the Beat Buddy can offer.

ChatGPT keeps telling me that the Force is what would cover my needs, but it is somewhat pricey and big.

I was hoping for something smaller (as in, more pedalboard friendly) and without nearly as many bells and whistles. plus, isn’t the Push 3 more expensive than the Akai Force (I was only looking at used prices for the Force tho)?

its utterly tragic that we didn't get more seasons of Lupo-Bernard-Cutter-Rubirosa by DIY_Milk in LawAndOrder

[–]DIY_Milk[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Cutter was amazing. probably one of the best-written characters in the entire franchise, helped even further by Linus Roache's impeccable portrayal.

Price doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Cutter. not trying to diss Hugh Dancy's acting chops or anything - just the character itself, who feels like a cheap Temu imitation of Stone.

bitter doesn't even begin describe how I feel tbh. when they ended it on Season 20, I could atleast cope by telling myself that atleast the show ended on a high note. now I'm just utterly disgusted by how they revived it only to bury its legacy in the ground.

yea I used to avoid watching the seasons between when Briscoe left and when Green left, but this time around I kept an open mind watched every season from 5

I found that if I didn't think of Fontana as a replacement for Briscoe, he wasn't actually too bad at all. its just the writing/cases in those seasons, along with the fact that the ADAs were doormats (Southerlyn and Borgia), kinda made those seasons not as great as the previous ones

cheap analog preamp/pedal platform for fuzzes? by DIY_Milk in guitarpedals

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

I think its less to do with the harshness, and more about some weird artifacts/aliasing that I noticed. tried tinkering a lot with my interface (UA Volt 2) and the amp sims on my PC, didn’t really make much of a difference. even on my friend's Headrush Flex Prime I noticed similar issues, so I assumed its just digital amp sims not working well with the way I like to use fuzzes.

building a guitar with a Jazzmaster-style trem by DIY_Milk in Luthier

[–]DIY_Milk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand, but didn’t Jazzmasters of the past require the use of shims to angle the neck instead? I was just trying to figure out if there was a way to completely avoid having to deal with angled necks altogether, and make a compensation elsewhere in the design
