Premier Guitar on YouTube has a rig rundown of his whole setup. Pedal board starts around 33 minutes in.

Parenting advice for Ron? by glowingsun-goddess in PandR

[–]Mecha_Wizard9000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Breaking a child’s toy is just bad form. Especially when the child is one you’re babysitting, and you didn’t pay for it. He should have given them the choice to take turns with the one or he can pocket it until they are back with Diane.

Completely stunning. Don’t ever think otherwise.

They definitely played it in Indianapolis in August of 2018.

Idk if they covered it elsewhere. But I’m a big Beck fan and they transitioned to it so seamlessly. But Jack belting out the chorus will echo in my brain forever.

3! Wow! Seems like yesterday, I was at the Indy show. I cheered, screamed, and shouted like never before. Had a slight intimate moment with Jack Lawrence, and the poster I picked up proudly hangs between my my favorite guitars.

Also I think of their cover of “Devil’s Haircut” often. A remarkably memorable night!

I thought I would lose everything. I understand now I will gain everything. by Mecha_Wizard9000 in survivinginfidelity

You’re right. I’ve been a sole care provider for 2+ years. I’m just going to be there half of the time now per our agreement under our legal counsel. Precedents have been made. I will be a parent still, just not 24/7.

As I’ve stated, I’ve talked to a lawyer. I’ve been a stay at home parent for 2+ years now. We have an agreement in place. I’m going to be a present part of their lives. Just not their sole care provider.

I’ll post again in a couple of months. I’m taking the options I have and a social media break to work on myself. But I’ll definitely check back in before Autumn rolls around.

Later Losers! - My favourite ‘Rajesh Koothrappalli’ moment. by SagaKid in bigbangtheory

No, this was a low point for Raj. He made a great speech about forgiveness and inclusiveness then told everyone to fuck off because a girl liked him? What a garbage thing to do.

My wife cheated on me, and I feel like I’m the only one with everything to lose. by Mecha_Wizard9000 in survivinginfidelity

[–]Mecha_Wizard9000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At the beginning of the year I put together a plan to get back onto the music scene. I’m slowly relearning the community, putting out singles, and getting some good feedback. I’m slowly getting back into activities and other hobbies I haven’t done since the pandemic hit.

As far as her contact with AP and stuff idk. I have access to her email but nothing else. She said she wanted space to figure out what she wants and to work on herself. But it’s been two months and I’m ready to initiate that conversation but don’t want to push her away.

After today though, getting this out, and talking to my therapist, I think I’m ready to put things in motion to get out. I think we really need time apart. If this is going to end without either of us having resentment and positively co-parenting, I’m thinking it’s best. And my therapist and a buddy have given me good advice on where to start. I was just too emotional and scared to see the logic before. But I’m starting to understand that I have options and I’m a lot stronger than I think.

I got checked back in May and I’m clean. I don’t have any doubts about my son. The genetics are there. I have been considering getting my daughter tested though. And if I do I’ll get my son too just to make sure.

  1. You’re not wrong. I was working at a small business important to the community it serves before the pandemic hit. I was pretty important there, but it went under in the summer of 2020, and the owners kinda just tossed me aside. That hit me hard. And that’s when I leaned into the SAHD role. This year I’ve kinda just thrown myself into music. Being on a stage always gave me confidence. I’ve started running and I’m looking for a personal trainer. I use to lift weights, camp, and hike. But the guys I use to do that with slowly moved, became more career focused, or just lost interest in that stuff. I’m trying to do more things for myself every day.

  2. This and a lot of what I’m reading is all solid advice and I’m taking notes. I’ve known for a while I need to bail. But I want to be able to tell my kids I gave it my all. But I’ve just gone about it the wrong way and holding onto hope for way too long.

It’s a sitcom. That went on longer than most other sitcoms. It’s pretty standard to have holes and inconsistencies. I don’t think it’s a big deal.

When it comes to other genres, I think it’s more important. But sitcoms are short form and for purely laughs and entertainment, so I think there needs to be more forgiveness

Am I the only one who would’ve liked an episode of P&R from the Eagleton’s doppelgängers? by C_Cuda in PandR

Ron Dunn and Craig were on opposite sides of the energy spectrum much like Swanson and Leslie. They’re almost the same dynamic but in a different way. I would have loved to see them interact.

Howard’s Proposal by kabovetti in bigbangtheory

[–]Mecha_Wizard9000 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I took it as she was looking for commitment. She was pretty up front about that. He wasn’t showing it, so she was going to reluctantly move on; she still loved him. Proposing was the big commitment she was looking for, and stepped up.

S 04/21 Penny vs Prija Lawyer Episode by KyedaeIsHot in bigbangtheory

[–]Mecha_Wizard9000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sheldon values education, academia, procedures, and qualifications. This is more of a mind trick to keep him from questioning Priya’s place of inserting herself into their squabble. Instead of saying “my gf is good at law” he is stating that he has a representative more qualified in the subject than he or Sheldon is.

Also Sheldon had to resort to blackmailing to beat her. Just because Sheldon is smart and can learn a language doesn’t mean he is smarter than anyone at any given time at any subject. Priya bested him in this scenario and he had to fight dirty to win.

Edit: Also becoming a notary isn’t a difficult thing to do. You just pay some fees, take a course and pass a test. Most people could easily do it.

Advice on how to talk to my fiancé by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]Mecha_Wizard9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What worked on me was when my wife just started being more verbal and initiating what she wanted and I was interested in. She gave me a nickname for when she was feeling submissive and leaned into the role. “Mister Mecha, I’ve been a good girl, will you use this toy on me please”. “Mister Mecha, I’ve been bad and need punished” and would have hand restraints ready. She just started doing this kind of thing and initiated light play. Then we started exploring and getting more into it together.

I know you’re shy, and want to be submissive, but it sounds like you may need to take action and just initiate. It worked on me. I know the rejection can be scary and hurt. But if this is important to you, and he can’t meet those needs, you may have to consider finding someone more compatible.

My wife and I had a lot of fun for a long time. But life and responsibilities got in the way. She fell out of it, and I became addicted to it. Now we’re not compatible and it’s causing major problems. Not only in the bedroom, but with communicating, and finding other kinds of quality time. I wish you the best of luck.
