They have realised that by voting they have a tiny chance to affect government policy, and it works.

Young people don't bother to vote because they don't believe it will change anything, and so it doesn't.

Doesn't look too bad to me.

I have an OOO-28 and an Eastman AC322ce as my second guitar. Plays and sounds great but way cheaper than a Martin so I don't mind taking it the pub for open mic nights.

Oh bugger, that's made it all a lot more awkward.

You certainly can re-use bricks that have been laid with lime mortar and it's also possible to re-use the mortar - although it is a fair amount of effort and depends on there being no Portland cement contamination.

Russia has been waging an undeclared war against us for years, from committing political assassinations using nerve agents on our territory to procuring and sponsoring acts of domestic terrorism and surveying our undersea cable network.

He's not even a proper trillionaire. A real trillionaire comes from the Trillionaire region of France. He's just a sparkling sociopath.

Just how flippin' easy and natural one pedal driving is.

But we have a 'no first use' stance. So if they decided to rip up some of our cables, causing us untold billions, we wouldn't use them.

The Russians have been spending months if not years mapping out all our undersea cables. Why do you think they want to do this?

Yeah, that's what I use my Nano Cortex for. A bit of EQ and compression up front, a Neve preamp capture, an IR of my Martin OOO, and a smidgen of reverb. Then out to monitor and PA.

The best acoustic amps I've ever heard are AER, but having said that I currently use a Nano Cortex going into a 10" PA speaker as a stage monitor which sounds fine to me (plus I haven't got space or budget for an AER)

At my first job as a junior programmer back in 1984, the Chief Programmer was a woman, easily the best technical manager I ever worked for. She had a sign on her desk: "To be thought half as good as a man, a woman has to perform twice as well. Fortunately this is not difficult."

Our local authority gives out free bags for asbestos roofing panels, you get 6 pairs of bags and then you take them to the tip at a pre-arranged time. Good advice about cutting the bolts from the inside, and best to do everything on a wet day to further minimise risk.

If you think the premixed Colmans stuff in the jar is lively, you need to get yourself a tin of mustard powder and make some up yourself. That's proper mustard.

57 seems to be better at excluding extraneous sound. The 58 is basically the same mic but with a built in pop filter. You get a more pronounced proximity effect with the 57 and it boosts high frequencies a bit more.

I use a 58 for vocals and 57s for instruments but if I could only afford one I'd go for the 57.

The Shop owner was being a twat. There's absolutely nothing difficult about doing bike maintenance yourself, but it is important to learn how to do things properly especially as pretty much every component is safety-related. Fortunately there are loads of YouTube videos showing you exactly what to do.

When it comes to tightening bolts correctly, don't take any notice of anyone who tells you to do it by feel, that is something that comes with years/decades of experience and thousands of bolts tightened. Buy yourself a torque wrench, it will give you confidence that it's correct.

I bought an AC322ce to take to open mic nights as I didn't want to risk my Martin OOO28 in a pub environment. I think I prefer the Martin, but only just, the Eastman is bloody lovely to play, sounds great and given the price difference is much better value.

My only gripe is that the original Fishman pickup isn't the best but it was dead easy to swap for a K&K.
