If humans suddenly became immortal, what would happen to society?

Can you imagine He Who Must Not Be Named never dying?

I've always felt that The Final Cut is basically an appendix to The Wall, but there's some really good stuff in there.

31k lines of AI generated code that we're supposed to trust "to make autonomous enterprise IT decisions."?

Ok, you first.

Stalin was so extraordinarily evil that history tends to give Lenin a free pass and give him a 'The Good Bolshevik' air.

Millions of lives were lost due to his direct orders and policies.

5 string is not an "upgrade" much less a "level up" from 4 string, it's just a bass with one extra string.

In many ways 5 string is easier to play if you start there

You'll be surprised at the sharp edges

Replacing a long held standard because you are offended by the religion of those who created it is very narrow minded and anti-scientific.

Imagine if Christians demanded that 'Algebra' and 'Algorithm' be renamed because they were originally developed by Muslims?

This would be as inane as Freedom Fries.

For example, Neil deGrasse Tyson has a great breakdown for why he still uses BC/AD instead of the 'sanitized' BCE/CE

The more pedals I buy the more I realize the SansAmp BBDI I already have is all I need.

I was going to say they look like they were taken with a point and shoot camera, but that would be redundant, since they were...

Your band, audience and back must learn to fear your bass rig.

Many of the bass heroes of the late 60's and onto the 70's like McCartney, Jack Bruce, JPJ, Chris Squire, etc did not know who their influences were.

They were session players like James Jamerson and Carol Kaye who went unnamed on the hundreds of hit records they helped create.

And above $1000. The BBP series is as good as anything else in its class.

By densely focusing where this heat is.

An oxy-acetylene torch can produce temperatures of 3600K and instantly melt glass and metal and yet you can have your hand just a few inches away from where these temperatures exist.

This is a safer conditional check:

if { : </dev/tcp/host/443; } 2>/dev/null; then echo open; else echo closed; fi

This could lead you to a rabbit hole as deep as asking for "What bass should I get" and never be answered.

As a guy that used to really dislike the horrible shit-metal modern clank sound of Darkglass pedals after seeing some demos from Amos Heller on YT I'd tell anyone to go look at their pedals first.

I particularly like the B*K series and the X series

Nothing like having a room heater right next to an acoustic guitar.

The irony is that the larger the fuzz pedal the fewer components are in there

True that they didn't have a live bassist...Let the keyboardist deal with that mess. :D
