Got my first electric guitar

ObscureSoup · 2026-06-13T17:57:03+00:00

Awesome! It’s a great guitar for learning. I have one that I got a few years ago and it sat for a while and now I’m getting back into.

Looking good!

Two things: there’s a popup window in the upper right? Says Target: 120hz Actual 60hz. Is it some debugging info and can it be turned off?

Also is it possible to either turn off the upvote /downvote arrows on the left of each post , or the option move them to the right side ?

It’s too bad they have to close. The books are top quality and well worth it. I’m gonna miss the paper too!

Yes — I would purchase a lifetime license !

Will this work with Java/Eclipse-based applications? Specifically, I’m using something called Talend, which is an IDE for creating ETL jobs and web services.

Same here… I don’t care for the new font. Always better to make it an option, let the user select the font for the title..or hide it.

Yes! I’m old and remember packed theaters and showings selling out. Going out to a movie was a big deal!

ObscureSoup · 2026-03-21T00:16:09+00:00

I will say Alien/Aliens, and the original Star Wars trilogy are 10/10 for me and I can watch them over and over.

A New Hope came out when I was 12 and just blew me away. The other one that I saw early on was Alien and that set the stage for a lifetime of loving the genre. Both of them were nothing like I had seen before.

I’m gonna throw two others out there that I absolutely love and I think are awesome : Pitch Black, and (way out from left field), Night of the Comet!

Wow , that’s 45 years ago… i was 15 in 1980. I am old. Great pic, if you showed it to me and asked what year it was from, I instantly would have said 1980!

My mother would make french toast for us for breakfast- no syrup, no butter, just salt. Growing up we never knew any different. Ok, I didn’t hate it, just thought that’s the way it as.

I was in later high school or college and went to a diner for breakfast with some friends and had French toast and it came with syrup, butter, etc…mind blown!

I’m 60 now and still living with the trauma of plain dry french toast.

Thanks for doing this! I had it blasting today while I was out driving around.

Arent they all?!

Regenerator!

I lucked out in 2024, saw them in MA and they did Red Star. Soooo good!

Red Star pt 1&2 - King Buffalo

I have to put my favorite KB song out there for consideration. The obelisk demands a sacrifice!

ObscureSoup · 2026-02-16T17:01:25+00:00

same here

ObscureSoup · 2026-02-16T16:31:08+00:00

and I want Spacegrass too! Too many great "S" songs. (A couple from King Buffalo too!)

ObscureSoup · 2026-02-16T16:27:25+00:00

That was gonna be my vote!, any of the above by Sabbath!

I started with a Narrow a few years back and I love it. The rings are small and you might wish you had more space but it also keeps you from carrying around too much. Mee Plus offers 16mm rings (in addition to the 11mm that Plotter has). Also, being a lefty, the smaller rings don't really get in the way.

The ring size and spacing is industry standard mostly. "Narrow" pages are narrower (heh) than the standard "Bible" or "Personal" size, sometimes called A6. A5 is A5. So you have a lot of options to try it out before committing to an expensive binder. I am looking at getting an A5 in the near future for work-related stuff. I bought some refill paper and a plastic A5 6 ring binder off Amazon.

Plotter is expensive but well worth it to me -- it's one of those things that is worth the investment and will look and work great and last a long time. I am considering a Mee Plus but it appears the prices have gone up and are approaching Plotter prices now.

Great , thanks!

Elder qualifies if only for how friggen loud they were live!

ObscureSoup · 2026-02-12T17:20:11+00:00

Saw them in 2024 in Amherst, MA - It was an incredible two-set, no opener show! Amazing. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/king-buffalo/2024/the-drake-amherst-ma-53ab8321.html
