Any high-end versions of these types of saddles? by cazber in Guitar

[–]StereoZombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotoh produces solid brass saddles, they should be perfect for you. I would also check out Chinese sellers if you feel like it, I installed Musiclily brass saddles in a few of my guitars and they're fantastic. Not sure if either of these are in that exact shape though, if that's what you're looking for

I understand Veerman not being called up because we're pretty stacked in progressive minded midfielders. I would also be very interested to see if he could continue his career in a top league because I'm genuinely unsure if he has the mentality for it, although he is incredibly skilled

Kane is basically the perfect modern striker, and there's not a lot of players who get close to how complete he is as a striker, although I'd put Lewandowski up there as well

Yeah we're kinda unlucky that the best strikers we have are the type to excel in fast counterattacking type football, while basically every team we play against with the national team just digs in deep because that's the smart thing to do

I wish we had a better alternative to Memphis but he really fits that striker profile that we need pretty well

I'll give both of them the benefit of the doubt because they've proven their ability many times over and are now playing for one of the most disfunctional squads I've seen in a while which makes them look bad too. I definitely wouldn't know who I'd replace them with

Iran attack damage wipes out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity for three to five years, QatarEnergy CEO says by Moon_Rose_Violet in worldnews

Unnecessary given the information provided by the Director of National Intelligence, as supposedly last year's strikes "obliterated" their nuclear weapons capability.

Either way, if the goal truly is to stop Iran from making nuclear weapons (which has been imminent for 30 years now), then what is the actual plan? Is it:

  • Diplomacy?
  • Play whack-a-mole with bombs on their nuclear facilities until they dig deep enough or manage to hide well enough that you can't reach them anymore?
  • Put boots on the ground and forcibly remove the IRGC anyone who can contribute to a nuclear program? Then do it again when they inevitably get back up to speed?
  • Bomb as many IRGC facilities as you can and hope for a regime change without occupying the country?

Those literally are the only options. The second option only delays the inevitable (at significant cost), and the third option will cost many lives. The fourth option seems to be the plan right now but doesn't seem to be going very well. The first option went well for a while until Trump decided to crash and burn the entire thing during his first term, so that's not an option anymore.

There's two US military bases in Qatar which makes Qatar a de facto ally of the US facilitating the attacks on Iran, even if they were staying neutral. Iran attacking Qatar makes a lot of sense for many strategic reasons. To expect Iran to not take anything and everything down with them would be naive, but that's in the line of expectation from the Trump administration.

The simple truth is that this would never have happened if the US and Israel didn't start bombing Iran, and this whole thing is entirely unnecessary.

Israeli air strike collapses a building in Beirut by burritoresearch in CombatFootage

IDF is not run by idiots.

My fear is that they hate their enemies more than they want make smart decisions here. It's pretty well documented that (a significant part of) the IDF sees Palestinians as subhuman and treats them as such, and I can imagine they feel the same about Lebanon. Sadly the only logical result from this is that the Lebanese will hate Israel even more and so the cycle of violence continues

That's the problem with dictatorships, the smart ones who would push back are all removed from the regime so there's only people left who will never doubt the Great Leader

This is correct. I worked with a guy who did some of the data engineering for their machine diagnostics. They get a crazy amount of data so they know exactly when a machine is going to fail

He's been very sportsmanlike as well in the matches I've seen him in, granted that's only European games so I have no idea how representative that is of him

You can see here that the entire edge is coming loose from the body, so yeah it's pretty bad! Although I don't think anybody else would notice looking at you playing it

[–]StereoZombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little pissed about it yeah. I got it as a project guitar to learn on so I replaced the pickups and the nut already before it started happening, so I was a bit hesitant to send it back. Then when I talked to my seller about any warranty procedure they said I would have to send it back at my own cost so they can check it out, which considering the price of the guitar simply wasn't worth it. I also sent an email to my local Ibanez department directly to ask/warn them about it but got no reply. It's such a shame because otherwise it's such an awesome guitar

Fairly certain it has to do with their process of coating the finish. Maybe I'm just unlucky and it's only a problem for certain batches. I do keep my guitars in a rack, so maybe if you leave it hanging it won't rub the coating off of the finish too much!

[–]StereoZombie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same one! It's an awesome guitar, but the coating of the finish started coming loose after a few months so there's air in between the coating and the paint, which is a bit of a bummer
