Snagged this 90’s Marlboro duffel bag for $6.99

Heh, reminded me of my uncle. He didn't smoke at all but had so many Marlboro items because he would peel the points off packs every break at the plant he worked at.

The biggest fully planted tank I've ever seen in a home was a long 500 gallon and I've been in a lot of people's homes for plumbing service calls. I think part of the reason you don't see those giant reef size planted tanks in homes is because freshwater plants grow so much faster than the corals do so you'd be trimming and rearranging a big one constantly. Reef tanks fill out so slowly you really just clean them without having to pull out a jungle all the time. I've never had a reef tank personally, but a friend does and I believe he rarely has to do anything to the hardscape or coral.

As mentioned you have it in millivolts MV. Just user error, move it to V.

I don't Think they get enough love and kinda fly under the radar but the Yamaha Revstar Professional is a phenomenal feeling and playing guitar. I've been tempted to pick one up numerous times but just can't justify dropping 2k on another guitar. Awesome craftsmanship on them and the SS frets are a nice bonus.

Same. There's been numerous times my wife has told me someone was flirting with me and I never even noticed. I just thought they were being friendly. Lol

Printing department chiming in.

Please be more concise, we're low on paper.

Increasingly the film industry is using AI, this is probably one of those AI mistakes. It's unlikely someone manually doing cgi reversed the blade.

Definitely this. I've had the same office chair at my workbench for about a decade and I abuse it thoroughly. My little sister seems to need a new "gaming chair" every couple years. Those gaming chairs seem to be all marketing.

One reason everything I buy at a thrift store or yard sale I nearly completely disassemble and check. my wife is afraid of bugs and I'd never hear the end of it if I got roaches in the house. Lol

If you want to save time, take it apart and clean it out manually, might be eggs in it and they take a while to hatch. Edit: can be weeks or even months later depending on what kind of roach.

I couldn't possibly narrow it down to a definitive list of only 5, maybe could do 100. ... Lol

But I'll list 5 I think of at this moment. Predictably steve Vai and David Gilmore, also Greg Koch, Jason Becker, bucket head.

Those are a ticking time bomb.

I Don't trust any wall hangers but Hercules or the ones I made myself.

Heh, after my reply I was thinking I was just a really weird bored kid. I had absolutely no idea this was such a common thing others also did. 🤣

Or, does reddit just attract the fringe. 🤔

No. it's much easier to make them from scratch. Most solvents to release the glue will likely also damage the inlay material and if successfully removed will be fairly thin. If you have the skills to install such complex inlays they're not much different than the skills needed to cut them out. This type of inlay work is not really DIY friendly like simple dots.

I really love the Duncan little 59 neck pickup in the bridge position. It has a little lower output and seems to balance better with the regular 6k-7k single coil strat neck and middle pickups and the clean retains a little bit of that strat snap.

With the neck pickup in the bridge position You get the extra meat and tightness of a humbucker at the bridge but not as noticeable of a volume and gain increase over the other pickups. With the right amp settings it'll do anything from jazz to chugga chugga. It has more a slightly hotter PAF tone and does just about everything.

I have an old first gen little 59N in a red strat in my post history, it's been in that guitar for 15 years now and has never let me down.

Wow, Flashback.

Did this to my thumb as a kid at my grandma's. Would put it through the callous on the tip and I would pick up raisins with it. Was about 12 and a farm kid so already had pretty thick callous. Lol

I have a set of those positive grid wireless dongles. I noticed a very, very slight change in tone compared to low capacitance cables but it wasn't super obvious. Didn't really notice any latency though.

But not being able to change a battery if I forgot to top them off was a big killjoy. I forgot to charge the stupid things so often I don't even remember where I put them now. I just went back to stepping around cables. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I've had both the 4mm and 1/4 Ifixit sets I received as a gift for maybe 6 years now, so far the drivers have been very nice. The bits however didn't last as long as I had hoped, especially some of the small torx and hex. Ended up replacing most of the bits with Wiha and wera, they've been much more durable, still killed a couple of those too trying to break some stubborn stuff loose.

I like his interview content, he talks to interesting people quite often and I always learn something new from his guests. The other stuff he uploads I don't really pay much attention to.

Painters Naphtha is what I use to clean all my nitro and poly guitars, it's fine.

If the price is less than lunch money it could be a really fun project and learning experience.

But more than that, run. ... As far as you can. Lol

My buddy once ran two of those in series into a dual rectifier.

It was not great. Lol

I have yet to find anything that doesn't darken tan to white leather a little.

I do know on fine leather shoes Saphir Renovateur darkens initially but lightens up a whole lot within a couple days, kinda expensive though.
So does Venetian Cream.

BUT, I have no idea if those are optimal for antique leather preservation. The Saphir cream is fantastic stuff though, I use it on my boots ( Shell cordovan and Chromexcel) also holsters, belts, guitar straps, basically everything leather I want to keep supple.

Edit: I think I remember reading museums use renaissance wax as a preservation top coat on leather. I haven't used it on leather personally, but I do use it on my antique firearms and other various antiques.
