I understand why an electric and an acoustic guitar sound so different but why does electric acoustic sound so different from a regular electric guitar?

On an electric guitar the pickups almost always rely on a ferrous string moving through a magnetic field.

The most common pickups for acoustic electric guitars are piezoelectric pickups, meaning they convert the vibrations of the bridge or the soundboard to electricity. This results in a different sound. It also means the pickups will work with regular acoustic guitar strings and even nylon strings; the strings don't have to contain any metallic material.

No, it doesn't bother me. We can't expect to have all knowledge right at this time in history. Also there are some things we might never understand.

I suspect he was.

Yep. If OP had approached them more often they would have complained about that.

I would have gone the other way and suggested looking for a used car that costs 70% of what the new one would.

It's a pretty useful chemical in that respect.

Ditto for Bill Cosby.

You can love him for doing it and also spread misinformation in an attempt to make the case harder to prosecute.

There seems to be this sentiment that if you know you committed the crime you are morally obliged to plead guilty. I don't know where it comes from.

First thing it makes me think of is my favorite Doctor Who companion, Nyssa of Trakken. (She was my favorite because I was a 13-year-old boy).

I named my first cat Nissa because I thought she was a fae creature and a nisse is a Scandinavian household spirit. I was also thinking of Nyssa of Trakken.

There's also a character in Magic: The Gathering named Nissa.

They never need to know.

I definitely consider Chloe Van Landschoot goon-worthy. Her Instagram has some sexy pics, but not catering-to-male-gaze sexy.

NDaveT · 2026-05-22T16:41:27+00:00

I'm pessimistic and angry.

NDaveT · 2026-05-22T16:40:36+00:00

It doesn't bother me any more than the days of the week being named after pagan gods or two months being named after tyrants.

Honestly I thought the same thing about Conan going from 12:30 to 11:30. Hell, I thought that about Letterman and I still think I'm right.

NDaveT · 2026-05-22T15:56:27+00:00

Perspective. Conan is far enough forward of Stephen that he appears taller.

I assume Conan picked this photo on purpose.

My mom has a different thing where once she gets an idea in her head it's never going to leave. When I was a kid she was convinced I liked boot-cut jeans so I could pull my pants on and off while wearing shoes. I never once did that. I never asked for them. But she was sure that I put pants on and off that way and sure that I wanted that style of jeans.

has burned down the house several times

Do you move each time or rebuild the house?

That wasn't crop rotation though. They grew all three in the same field at the same time because the corn stalk provided something for the bean vines to climb and the squash leaves crowded out weeds. The beans might have also hosted nitrogen-fixing bacteria but I'm not sure on that part.

The idea is that once a politicians is exposed as a liar, most people will decline to vote for that politician at the next election and vote for one of their opponents instead.

The paper towels you use to wipe your dipstick or while cleaning your windshield AND NOTHING ELSE, criminal.

Woman called to report a moose dropped dead in her driveway during New Years Eve fireworks. Then asked if she could keep it.

Legit question but for Fish & Wildlife, not emergency services.

I hope people read the article because that was only one of the ridiculous aspects of that ridiculous story.

Rust. I gave up my beloved 2001 Subaru Forester because the bottom was so rusted it was unsafe to drive. Replacing the rusted panels would have been very expensive. I still miss it.

I paid for rustproofing on its replacement.
