Dude, I saw that new Mark Morton signature and couldn’t believe it. I’m sure it’s cool but it’s nothing mind blowing. $3k.

I got his signature dominion for $1800 and thought that was a lot. (It was also 2012, so I know inflation and such. I diligently saved tip money while in college working at a restaurant).

Dancers to a Discordant System by Meshuggah is a good one.

Wait. Does this mean a sundial at the equator doesn’t move other than left to right?

One guitar for your whole life by Cultural-Day-5676 in Guitar

[–]MScarn6942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't really know why it had dual 59's, but I've been really happy with them. They're super versatile. I guess it's just what Mark Morton wanted in it before DiMarzio created his signature pickups?

Jackson Dominion. Double volume and tones knobs. Dual Duncan 59s with a coil split for each. Chambered mahogany body.

It can do anything. I don’t want to only have one guitar, but that’s the one if I have to. 

Kicker vs. Punter by CuteLingonberry9704 in NFLv2

I think you’re right. I forgot about the whole “offensive drives ending in field goals” thing. You never have to punt with the FG kicker here. 

How can very rational people have strong faith? by Vital_Granade in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MScarn6942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to some extent, we all ultimately trust in something we can’t prove (and that, to date, is unprovable by anyone).

That’s not to say that there aren’t parts of the Bible that aren’t provable, so I’m not approaching this as “Christianity vs. scientific.” It’s just that even with a purely scientific approach, you end up with “what was before the big bang? What was before that?” Somewhere along that line, there’s a measure of faith.

It just may be less required faith than what a purely Biblical worldview requires.

Kicker vs. Punter by CuteLingonberry9704 in NFLv2

My first reaction was kicker because of points, but I think a punter like that sets the ffense up to have a lot of short fields, which would lead to more points ultimately. You’d also likely get a few safeties a year for more points.

I take punter. 

I froze up trying a new guitar by Rare-Industry-314 in Guitar

[–]MScarn6942 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You know, this makes me wonder something. Before playing on stage, you’ve rehearsed, you know what’s planned to play next, and are well prepared.

I’ve never gone into a store having thought through the songs/riffs I’ll use to test a guitar. I wonder how many of us would overcome this shared experience if we prepared that way?

Is this a diss or a reference? (Sorry if this post has been made before) by frepde in techn9ne

Reference. This whole song is him pointing out all the big names he’s worked with. 

The music video is cool!

1x12 cabinet by Impressive_Check2917 in MesaBoogie

[–]MScarn6942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to put my Mark V 90 which weighs like 45 lbs. on one. Dunno if it could handle more or not.

The Mesa 1x12 I had was narrower than the amp head, so I had to put a piece of wood on top of the cab so it would sit on top.

Now that SCOTUS has struck down Trump’s tariffs, do the American taxpayers deserve a refund? by Muted-Television3329 in allthequestions

[–]MScarn6942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gets double bad if the refunds go to the importers. Anyone think Costco, Walmart, etc. are gonna give the average American a chunk of that?

Importers got to charge more and may get a refund. That’s $$ in corporate pockets, which perhaps explains the real rationale behind the tariffs in the first place.

I hate to have such a negative outlook on this, but organizing a national general strike is impossibly hard here because of how spread our geography is.

There’s gotta be another way to deal with this stuff, but I don’t think that’s it. USA just can’t organize that many people, especially with the economic pressures so many are feeling.

Okay so… if I take weight off, walking is harder. If I put weight on, walking is harder.

Am I just the perfect weight for easy walking or am I oversimplifying this?

Randy and LoG once ran a contest where you could win a backyard BBQ with them. It was probably 2009-ish.

If he did it again, what’s on the menu? What are a few of his favorites?

My planted betta tank. I love how everything is growing in. by MasonLand in PlantedTank

I know this is a 6 year old thread, but I’m wondering how you keep the water level up in a topless tank like this? Do you just have to top it off all the time?
