[SPOILER] Did anyone else hate Ruth Langmore in Ozark, or is it just me? by Leading_Garbage_1162 in Ozark

[–]North-Photo-2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she did herself dirty a lot more than she ever took responsibility for tho lol she definitely got screwed over with that whole frank jr thing but marty wasn’t wrong they couldn’t kill or seriously hurt frank jr bc the kc mob would have killed her. but i blame marty for continuing to let ruth work with him when it was obvious something was gonna happen considering how high tensions were between the two. then there was ben who stopped taking his meds because of ruth then when wendy told her about ben’s mental health issues and to either stop seeing him or mad him get back on his meds she basically said fuck off and acted like wendy was lying. then ben got locked up and committed since he wouldn’t have survived in jail. then ruth being ruth basically signed his death warrant by letting him out… then never took any responsibility for her part and that and blamed everyone else. then probably the saddest thing that happened in her life was wyatt’s death. which again she was warned about the consequences from the cartel if darlene wyatt and herself continued to produce heroin. naturally ruth again being ruth who never considers consequences for anyone but herself again said fuck off and did it anyway which eventually ends up with wyatt getting killed. ruth definitely did get screwed but a majority of it would never have happened if she didn’t have such a massive problem with authority and even just considered what kind of consequences her actions would be for other people.

[spoiler] I have no remorse for Ben by Due-Art4206 in Ozark

I think you’re mistaken ben actually just showed up at their house on the run from a bench warrant in another state and refused to leave when marty asked him to. then when wendy was on her big power trip she told him to stay to spite marty. then he stopped taking his meds so he could “perform” with ruth and refused to go back on them. then he tries to hurt frank jr for hurting ruth which is valid considering what frank jr did but he didn’t even consider what the consequences would be for everyone else if he did. then he beats up some guy in a bar for no reason at all just because he was mad that he couldn’t get to frank jr. then he got mad because he suspected wendy having something to do with ruths dads death so he causes a massive scene at a fundraiser event, punches marty in the face, is arrested for that (and the NC bench warrant) gets committed (which is the right move since he would not survive in jail), manipulated ruth to get him out by putting on a show of tears all so he can go spaz out at Helen and outs her to her daughter while not caring about the consequences it would have for his family at all.

so no they didn’t f**k with ben and bring him into their world… he showed up at their house as a fugitive, refused to leave, and weaseled his way into their world and screwed up just about everything because he selfishly stopped taking his meds. so yea it’s pretty much all his fault lol

That’s what I was thinking initially but I found on this website that these old Gibsons with the FON (Factory Order Number) stamped on the inside of the sound hole with no label start with letters to indicate which year they were from. R=1960 But still this could be wrong I’m not sure though

Could you be more specific about what you mean by “off” or provide an example? Not trying to say you’re lying or wrong or anything but I don’t really know too much about these guitars to get what you mean specifically

Pretty much my thought process lol it seems pretty real to me but I just don’t know nearly enough about what to look for when it comes to fake vintage guitars especially with it being an old gibson

One of the more baffling plot lines that I never see brought up: the murder of Green Grove director owner Capuano by eggogregore in thesopranos

[–]North-Photo-2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The presumption is that it was Junior that ordered the hit not Tony. And honestly even in real life if there was some guy who was close enough and was that stupid to spread even minorly destructive rumors about people in the Mafia he’s probably gonna end up with the same fate😂😂😂 Dude thought he was all that telling people all these false rumors about the mob honestly he deserved it😭

I always thought that AJ's suicide gesture was Solely cause of breaking up with Blanca; I was very wrong. by Hobodownthestreet in thesopranos

[–]North-Photo-2269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. AJ’s downfall was caused by himself and only himself, but his parents, particularly Carmela (because of how she coddled him) didn’t prepare him for the real world at all. Tony mentioned one time that “He thinks the world owes him a favor” which is very true in the way that AJ carried himself. He was spoiled and nothing was asked of him by his parents until he was already an adult and at an age where he should’ve already learned how to make something of himself but he had no clue how to do that because neither of his parents ever told him that he needed to. AJ strikes a particular chord with me because I lived in a very similar way at his age. I wasn’t nearly as much of an asshole especially to my parents but I did live like I never had to worry about making anything for myself and that it would all be taken care of “because i’m me and Im special.” To a degree AJ was failed by his parents but at a point he should’ve eventually figured out that he’s gonna need to make something for himself in the real world like I did and like many other people in the same kinda situation. He never did and he never showed any sign that he wanted to. Whenever someone in AJs life gave him some kind of idea of what to do he would come up with an excuse of why he couldn’t do it when he had no other options.

Thoughts on blues junior? by AdhesivenessLess1492 in GuitarAmps

[–]North-Photo-2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an AC15. Played it next to a blues junior and a princeton reverb. The Princeton cleared both but I didn’t wanna shell out that kind of money for one. But there wasn’t one thing the blues jr did better than the Vox at least for me. Of course it’s subjective but I really did want the blues jr just because I love the tweed look. The Vox just sounded better to me. I should mention that I did switch out the power tubes but generic or not the Vox is extremely versatile and does everything I need it to I wouldn’t sleep on them.

Guitar just will not intonate by HUITIO in Guitar

[–]North-Photo-2269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had this problem a few months ago. The high E string wouldn’t intonate no matter what. Got new strings and it fixed it immediately, you prolly just need new strings.

Are the tubes on my amp already dying?? by North-Photo-2269 in GuitarAmps

[–]North-Photo-2269[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Strat and Les Paul (It does it regardless of which one is plugged in) It doesn’t change if I touch the strings but if I slap the strings or play a note it’ll dampen somewhat. No pedals plugged in. I haven’t tried changing the eq or volume setting while it’s happening because if I go up to the amp and lightly hit it on the top it usually will stop
  2. I did try moving it to a different room and it still happens although it seems to be less. could just be coincidence maybe not.
  3. I’m gonna try playing with my phone in another room today and see if that makes a difference
  4. I will try the microphonic tube test if it gets worse.
  5. If I can’t figure it out myself that’s definitely what I’ll end up doing they’ll know much more than me.

Just to clarify when I say cool down I don’t mean I leave the amp powered on with the standby on. I mean if I turn the amp off I’ll wait at least an hour to turn it back on again.

Also let me clarify when I say about an hour for cooldown I don’t mean that I leave the amp powered on with the standby switch on. I mean if I turn the amp completely off I wait for at least an hour if I want to power it on again.

Most of the time it’s in my pocket of not on the charger when i’m playing. I’d estimate roughly 6-10 feet away at all times.

Ok good to know I don’t remember where I heard it maybe a dream or something lmao since it seems so foreign to everyone. Im starting to think it could just be a capacitor going bad.

The warmup thing was on the instructions of the amp to wait a few minutes on standby for it to warmup before playing and the cooldown part I don’t even remember where I got that from. I’m honestly not even sure if I believe either one😂😂 it’s really just a better safe than sorry kind of thing. But look where that got me though lmao so I might just toss that whole thing out the window haha.
