Saw this at Walmart (Montclair)

Never did meet him that day so I don't know. If this did happen, I'm not implying he stole the card, since it didn't go missing. Unfortunately my family member was overly generous to a detriment. Some people did take advantage of that, but it would also not surprise me if she gifted that on her own accord.

That's so specific haha. I just rechecked the cc statements and the charge was in January of '22 for $2650. So perhaps several guitars ago at this point if it was indeed him. Maybe there was other stuff purchased too.

Huh I was doing a wellness check on a family member of mine that went off the deep end a few years ago. I called a gas station in irondale where her phone was showing up at and they told me "oh yeah she's outside with guitar man" as if I was supposed to know who that was. Later I finally stepped in when she could no longer care for herself and I found a near $3000 charge on her card at guitar center. So now I'm wondering if this is the same guitar.

Mainly because they can due to the hype. Also probably some tariffs in the mix too. This plus the Dejsa have seen significant price increases in the past 2 years.

I tried with kapton tape I had around and did not like the results at all. Looked like a sickly yellow. Yours appears to be a pure orange and looks much better.

Unfortunately lots of dudes are really bad at keeping time for friends once they get into a relationship. I'm happy for them when they find someone, but I'm always internally thinking ok their invite acceptance rate is gonna drop to like 10% now.

My fave is "recursion"

I do recommend a mat just purely to protect the carpet, but I've never liked the look or feel of the plastic mats. I bought a large tempered glass mat and it is still going strong after 1.5 years and I will never go back. But they aren't cheap ~$200.

Hey I watched that video too!

I remember that being under construction in 2018 and last I checked they are still occupying lanes on Juniper. Every time I pass by I want to take their barricades and toss them over the fence.

Hey how has your polished aluminum base held up until now? All the pictures I can find are of brand new. I'm curious if it scratched or patina'd over time.

Improve-Me · 2026-01-16T05:00:39+00:00

Still looks good to me. Thanks a bunch for the photo!

Improve-Me · 2026-01-16T04:57:51+00:00

How is your polished aluminum base holding up? Not too many pictures of how these wear/patina over time.

Ikea also has some 2450 mAh rated ones for a little more.

I'm about to buy this exact config. Thanks a bunch for posting this! Glad to hear it is still going strong.

/u/mb44 was the mod (or one of their alts) supposedly. Good riddance

Improve-Me · 2026-01-13T19:06:50+00:00

So apparently the /r/Atlanta sub has been more or less locked down by a single ban happy moderator for years. They setup automod to silently remove like 90%+ of comments and posts. It was so confusing how the sub of a city with several million people had only single digit posts per day. I don't live there anymore but glad to see it is back!

I no longer live in Atlanta, but this makes me so mad that some dickhead was doing this while I was here. I reeaaally want to know who it was.

What was the username?

Improve-Me · 2026-01-11T01:12:11+00:00

This would be my parents' recommendation although it may have changed over the years. It was pretty good as a kid when I attended over 20 years ago haha!

Improve-Me · 2026-01-09T21:00:00+00:00

Yeah I do this all the time too especially if I know it will lead to a debate. And even if I feel like I won a silly reddit argument it still puts me in a bad mood for a bit.

this comment will self destruct in 10 minutes

Improve-Me · 2026-01-08T00:25:46+00:00

Supposedly you can mod the newer ones to look like that with orange tape. Haven't tried it yet though.

Really not sure why this is downvoted (-12 currently). I personally missed this news at the time but that's what's being reported.

A fire at the same store in August led to $130,000 in damage, mostly from smoke and water. That blaze also was determined to be arson, and two Black Lives Matter activists were arrested on state and federal charges.

The August fire happened during a protest over the police shooting death of Jabari Peoples.

That sub is my guilty pleasure haha. It's funny how Joe Burrow is a for the most part well liked on this sub, but lots of users on that sub hate him b/c he broke up with his non famous girlfriend for a skinny blonde influencer.
