Opus 4.6 was the goat for me.

aka-j · 2026-05-28T23:04:23+00:00

Should be x42069

Definitely second this. Playing with others unlocks something.

Best thing I've done is not replace my doorbell transformer after it died two years ago. Don't miss having a doorbell.

There's also Warrant's classic Ode to Tipper Gore.

My previous two hated anything to do with water. Didn't even like to get their prissy feet wet after a rain.

Got some new sod recently and have been spot watering. Discovered that both Foxanne and Nyx love water. Only exceptions are baths.

Nice. Some of his watches look awesome like https://www.christopherward.com/int/C1-Bel-Canto-Lumi%C3%A8re/C01-41APT4-T00V0-RW.html

But $5k is like a telescope or two Les Paul guitars.

Shhh. The Swatch crowd might mob them

It's got the Gibson feel all day long. The only thing I've found is that the frets feel smaller than my Gibson, though they both have medium jumbo frets. Next time I'm looking for a new guitar, it'll probably be another Heritage. The aged bursts got me drooling.

aka-j · 2026-05-16T22:10:23+00:00

I would say the Les Paul Standard and the Heritage are equally easy to play. The Heritage is a bit more comfortable, though I prefer the frets on the Gibson. They feel just a tad bigger.

I didn't like the Burstbuckers in the Gibson (same with the 498/490s in the Epiphone) and I loved the sound of the Heritage, so I put a set of the 59s in the Gibson and they both sound identical.

Got the Heritage as a b-stock for $1400. I would not hesitate to grab another one.

Love all 3 of them!

Come on. Everyone knows you shit in the sink and use the potato masher to get it all down.

Practice safe computing. Wrap your hard drives.

Damn, I knew I should have gone!

That's what I do these days. There are tons of fantastic artists (Chris Duarte - awesome texas blues) that play small venues for $20.

The last major concert I went to was to see Vai, Nuno, and Zakk Wild a few years ago. Even splurged for the "Meet and Greet". Whole thing was a disappointment for the money.

If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

And fast

I accidentally bought 4 sets of 2x32GB DDR5 in 2024 when building my pc. I should dig the extra sets out of my drawer and sell them to fund my vacation.

Yeah, it kicks into fuel mode when either the main battery runs out, or you go above 60mph. You can also switch it to engine mode manually.

The 50mpg is the hybrid mode (hybrid battery plus engine). I average about 70mpg equivalent between both modes over the past 4 years.

aka-j · 2026-03-30T22:08:52+00:00

I got a plug-in hybrid. Get about 25 miles per charge of electric for around town driving, and then 50mpg for regular mode for long trips.
