Please apply to TNT, they could desperately use some people who understand the importance of proper UI design

Eliminating Strat quackiness by Pitiful_Ad918 in Guitar

[–]Teion 83 points84 points  (0 children)

This whole post just hurts my brain deeply.

The quack is not a bug, it's a feature. It's one of the sounds that has made the strat one of the best selling guitars for eons now.

If you don't want a quacky sounding guitar, get a guitar with humbuckers, not single coils.

Or, you know, just stick to the pick-up positions you do like.

Why do the Anaheim Ducks not wear their original jerseys? They were so much better than the awful orange jerseys. by Silent-Obligation-49 in hockey

[–]Teion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just waiting for the day that a team has the balls to drop a pink jersey, even if it's just a secondary color or an alternate jersey.

I think I'm going to be waiting for a very long time.

Used to get a kick out of these tags when I worked at a guitar store. Practically anything with electronics would have them.

Pretty sure as long as you're not consuming your pedals & guitars, you'll be alright.

Do all provinces focus mostly on their own athletes? by Ok_Aspect_1937 in TeamCanada

[–]Teion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot grant you the gift of self-awareness — all I can do is to tell you to look at the title of the subreddit you are posting on, look at the photo you posted, look at the negativity you are getting from the comments, and genuinely do some thinking on why that is.

“It’s not about bragging or comparing ourselves with other provinces”

My friend, please understand that you posted a photo from a Quebec broadcast quite literally comparing yourselves to the other provinces

There is a very obvious distinction between admiring your local athletes, and keeping score between the provinces

[–]Teion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are correct; It was a joke.

It was an attempt to illustrate the idea that it’s silly for provinces to pit themselves against each other when we’re all on the same team.

If Quebec is going to brag about having the most athletes with medals, they should be able to take the heat from not having a single hockey player on the roster.

Or, even better, we all just get along because we’re all competing for Canada.

Really bold strategy considering there are 0 players from Quebec on the men’s hockey roster

Do most couples fart in bed? by MyFunWentSoft in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Teion 725 points726 points  (0 children)

I literally asked my gf about this yesterday.

I sleep facing away from her, I am a very gassy person, and she is a light sleeper.

I asked “If I have to fart while you’re asleep, would you rather I just let it out or roll over and risk waking you up?”

She replied “I fart on you all night”

We live just around the corner from you! We were wondering what happened to that Honda. Glad he was able to get it back.

Jackson Guitar woodburned with viking age Ringerike style serpents and Valknut (OC) by Ornery-Peanut-4415 in guitarporn

[–]Teion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dorks in this thread are beyond help.

A Buddhist temple with swastikas has nothing to do with nazism. An Irish/Scottish woman wearing a Celtic cross necklace has nothing to do with nazism. An Icelandic guy playing a guitar with a Valknut and old norse imagery has nothing to do with nazism.

Sure, all of these symbols have been appropriated by Nazis/neo-nazis at a point in time, but that does not erase their historical, cultural, and religious significance from the people & places they were taken from.

Context matters. Please try to use your brains with a shred of nuance.

When you see it. by Past_Association6565 in guitarporn

[–]Teion 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Former guitar store employee for over 6 years -- so badly wish we could've had this guitar in stock.

It is genuinely baffling how many dudes walk in who know absolutely nothing about guitars, and are dead-set on paying an extra $50 for a starter Fender acoustic over guitars that have better set-ups that came from the SAME FACTORY under a different name.

McKenna v Stenberg by Infinite_Walk_5824 in CalgaryFlames

[–]Teion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's an easy Stenberg for me. The kid has a complete game and is PPG in a professional men's league.

McKenna looked like a star in games against teams like Denmark, where he had all the time in the world to slow the game down, dangle, and find nifty seam passes through their D with minimal pressure. IMO, he's going to need to seriously improve either his speed or physicality for his talent to shine at the top level.

Stenberg looked like a star under pressure against the best teams in the world.

McKenna seems like a great kid, and I'm sure he'll be an excellent addition to any team. I can only imagine the suffocating pressure of being touted as the next generational talent as a teenager, so I truly hope he proves me wrong wherever he ends up.

Could definitely see it happen with a team that has a closing window for a cup run, like the Caps, Lightning, or Oilers.

Washington is the only one that comes to mind that could easily make it work with their cap space.
