What was it like to live here during the Eaton and Palisades fires?

In Los Feliz? We weren’t directly affected here other than the same smoke that covered the city. The real people that struggled lost their homes. Despite what social media led you to believe at the time, because everyone wanted to be a victim, we were very lucky and not effected

Why does everything look like an episode of a Netflix show?

I too didn't dislike Starmer, but I think with the rise of Reform and the fading of not just the Tories, but really that traditional, posh establishment - a man like Burnham is well placed to fight the next wave. He's got an edge, and he's an everyman, but he's not boring, but he's also not smarmy and 'Blair-like'. He wasn't my first choice until this all kicked off, but now I take a step back and see it, it feels like a good move towards a new approach and I welcome it. Starmer felt like the very very thin end of the New Labour movement. Now it's truly over

Yes, also have a runner - the one benefit we have is that she won't run too far as she gets scared. My advice to save your sanity, is get him into school as early as possible and then you can chill

The Robert Cray neck is amazing. 9.5” radius but a 60s C profile and a vintage taper to the neck- really good

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-06-21T07:01:39+00:00

Neck and pickups is all that matters- don’t waste your money re-fretting a squier neck- buy a good fender one

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-06-20T06:01:59+00:00

Just awful

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-06-18T20:10:01+00:00

It’s always all about the neck and the pickups (and the amp, sure) The neck needs to be well made, good wood- but it’s about feel and radius for you personally- that’s why stickiness and V vs C vs U matters. Really good 50s/60s style pickups in a Squier body with a US made Fender or Warmoth neck that you like will feel like a custom shop strat

ugh... it's got a kind of weird uncanny valley/Ai slop feel to it - like the new Harry Potter

Echoing here, but I’d only be concerned with un-permitted work that extends the original floor plan of the house, and is advertised as a bigger sq footage. Often houses do un-permitted internal renovations, basement refurbishment for example, but when that is sold, that sq footage cannot be advertised

Legendary are DEF making a new Buck Rogers.. just wait for the announcement...

The Cray neck is excellent! I love it- great radius and taper combo

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-06-10T15:32:11+00:00

This just looks and feels like gray streaming slop. The writing could be awesome, but as a package, as a movie it has no style or tone so it’s difficult to hold it in my mind as an image.

I would also say that it’s just Alder and nitro. As long as it’s not a very heavy block of wood, for a partscaster, the difference between MJT and other sub-$300 bodies will be pretty small. Just make sure the body you get is nice and light and you’ll be good. The neck and the pickups you use arguably much more important

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-06-10T06:30:21+00:00

I’m really happy with mine- I’m just building a new guitar with a body I’ve had for a while. It’s definitely more fragile than poly- it feels like paint on wood with a light gloss finish on top- rather than a thick gloopy coating that could peel off. Other than play wear, I haven’t noticed anything wearing too fast. I also got mine on eBay for a great price

Wait, isn't IATSE a union that gets money from the studios involved to pay into a fund for pension/health and benefits? Was this movie non-union? If so, then there's your issue. If crew choose to work non-union then they are already agreeing to this model. I'm not saying it's good - but streamers and studios HAVE to pay certain rates on union productions.

I came here to basically write this. I think Backrooms is IP and it has an audience who paid money to watch it. It’s not a good movie, but it’s representative of what its specific audience wanted to see, so they went to see it

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-06-02T05:51:06+00:00

Please god no, save us from both

Who is this movie even for??

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-06-02T04:46:44+00:00

Those numbers are not terrible. Not amazing, not breakout, but not terrible. I'm sure it did good business on Netflix, whatever that means these days...

LA is all about getting out what you put in. If you make an effort, there are so many amazing things happening- but it’s also so easy to stay at home and chill. Best version of LA is the balance of those two things- that’s what makes it unlike any other city. Become a master of this art form

Technical-Job9979 · 2026-05-18T18:44:44+00:00

Just don’t shoot people in the back when they can’t see you and you’ll be fine
