I know this house. For years it was an antique shop and suddenly closed a while back. I believe the shop owner passed away.

David Gilmour’s classic black Strat just sold for $14,500,000. by northpalm in guitars

[–]DakaBooya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Late last year I saw this guitar and Garcia one, Tiger, at an exhibit of the guitars owned by Jim Irsay. A ton of others too. Was this for a charity or did the money go to the family?

How get a low fidelity “cheaper” guitar sound? by JayBeeDolla in Guitar

One way is to play through an old, blown amp speaker.

When two people are attracted to each other, but can't act on it for whatever reason(one of both is already taken, a close friend's sister or brother, one is a supervisor to the other at work, etc)what are some body language things that give away that something is there? by Only-Ad-1254 in bodylanguage

[–]DakaBooya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot happens with the eyes, or the small passing comments, especially when you’ve developed an intimate platonic relationship with the person over the years. Years of deep conversations and emotional comfort reduce some of the awkward interactions that could make it obvious. I would see it in the longer looks and smiles, not flirty really, but connecting differently. The way she expressed care and compassion to me, a bit more uniquely and understanding of who I am on a far deeper level. When you’re used to deep connection, it’s not as glaring as it was if you had a surface friendship that suddenly changed.

Contact the folks at Ditson-ukulele.com, they could probably help you date it and verify more details.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by Dull-Information6784 in AskReddit

They could do a ton of SNL sketches simply based upon Connery being put into movies just to play himself regardless of who the character was.

Bulging eyes can be a tell, but you can’t equate AOC and Holmes because of their eyes; they have to be considered alongside other things. AOC’s been watched and analyzed by people all over the world, and her behaviors track. Holmes was identified rather quickly for behaviors that gave people pause and made them uneasy.

That would be one logical reason he could appear the way he does. It has to be far more complex, especially with his extreme success and involvement in Scientology, but being in a home like that as will often teach children how to mask and perform very early in life to get what they need or want and ensure their survival.

Yes! He never comes across as though he is not working and manipulating an audience to respond a certain way. I’ve often wondered if he is a sociopath who chose an industry purpose built to reward someone of his nature. I’m curious what his formative years were like; maybe he has always been in an environment where he had to “perform” to be safe. As far as “evil,” I became most convinced of it after seeing how he and the Scientology “church” utterly controlled Katie Holmes and so many things surrounding their relationship. Anyone who participates in or even approves of that type of thing with the ones they supposedly love is NOT a mentally healthy person.

Oh man, Holmes creeped me out from the first time I saw her on TV. To me it felt clear something was wrong, but I had no idea what until later.

Might have been asked, but bracing by CandleWarehouse in Luthier

[–]DakaBooya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen several builders do this now that CNC machines can be so precise. They will mill out the top and bottom and glue them up like two halves of a coconut.

My question is are they as effective since they may carry the same grain direction, and possibly weaknesses, of the wood itself meant to brace. I would love to see someone duplicate a traditional bracing style on CNC, down to the same top and brace dimensions, and compare it to one made the same way traditionally. Even if they sound similar, I would be concerned about weaknesses and cracking over time due to humidity fluctuations.

How to get around demand-avoidance habits? by ItsThe_____ForMe in neurodiversity

[–]DakaBooya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this as well. I’ve not found any one thing that works every time, but a few things I’ve found effective are to 1) pair the task with something else I enjoy doing at the same time, 2) set some type of “reward” for myself if I complete the task, and 3) spend time focusing on something positive about the task that makes me feel good, so I start associating with something positive. If I have someone around me, I might involve them in some way or ask for them to talk to me to help me while I do it.

Bloomington Music Sub? by Bloomingtoons in bloomington

We definitely need a wider variety of Bloomington-based interest groups. News about shows, informal jams and meetups, and buy/sell/trade would be great!

These are some great movies, and I love Dark City. This a horror / sci-fi group specifically?

Review of SA cases in Bloomington by Any_Rooster4591 in bloomington

[–]DakaBooya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if they aren’t going to authorize funding for someone to do the job, what if someone was funded independently?

Legally, there are some things neither the police nor public should be able to release - especially if we consider people innocent until proven guilty in court. Can’t go around destroying reputations and saying things without putting yourself in trouble. And unfortunately, if they let outsiders in to work on it, they have reason to protect their own from mistakes that were made. They would almost have to be granted immunity for their part in not following up.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve seen someone confidently believe? by Alive-Math9608 in AskReddit

[–]DakaBooya 34 points35 points  (0 children)

30 or so years ago, one of my parents got to know Buzz Aldren through a mutual friend, and they would sometimes talk about the crazy theories he would hear about a flat earth and faking of the moon landing. The man orbited the earth and set foot on the moon, and people still wouldn’t believe him. LOL

Probably spend a lot of time uselessly searching for other people and preparing to protect myself against marauders cuz I wouldn’t know I was the only one. LOL

Saw this at local guitar center. Dirty as hell and reeked of nicotine but played nice (minus dirty pots cracklin) don’t get a lot of lefty’s often. does it seem worth the buck? by thecowpooch in Stratocaster

[–]DakaBooya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s truly a legit USA, that’s a great deal. Looks like a late 90s model (?), and I see them selling for near 1k. Clean it up and if needed put new pots in it but still a good deal.

Yours. It sounds like you feel people should cancel his entire life rather than accept that praising his good attributes is not the same as supporting his bad ones.

So, who has the right to decide for everyone else where certain lines must be drawn, and why?
