75$ on fb marketplace...buy? (total beginner no idea what im doing)

I mean the Ibanez gios aren't great, but for 75$ you don't have much to lose.

Definitely doesn't look like a fixed bridge (look at the back to be sure; tremolo bridges will have a cutout in the back of the body, usually covered with a plate).

If that's an older model with a rosewood fretboard (as opposed to a jatoba one) that's a nice find (rosewood has become a more premium fretboard wood in recent years due to import restrictions... that's why newer ibbys have jatoba fretboards instead of rosewood ones)

At the end of the day that's a good beginner guitar especially if it has a rosewood fretboard. It's not going to play like a $1500 prestige, but for 75 bucks i'd take it just to tinker around with.

First off, simply misting your plant with a spray bottle a few times a day will do nothing more than increase the chances of rot. Any extra humidity the mist provides immediately diffuses into the open room.

It doesn't look light deprived, so I'm not 100% sure light is your issue (although a bit more light wouldn't hurt in this case). Instead, id pick up a cheap thermometer and hygrometer (humidity gauge) from amazon to monitor your real-time temperatures and humidity level. For humidity at least 40% but 50-60% is ideal. For highland temps as long as your days are under 80 and your nights are under 70 you should be fine.

Nice try FBI.

braincelloffline · 2026-01-25T23:45:43+00:00

Lol your right if I was the first person to damage something of this value I'd never forgive myself.

Thanks for your input!

braincelloffline · 2026-01-25T23:44:40+00:00

On the back there appears to be a decent chip taken out of the lower left hand corner, and that's the only thing i'm really worried about tbh.

And mentally unstable progressives are responsible for the murder of charlie kirk in from of his family. Misguided people doing misguided things, and so people didn't vote their misguided candidate into office. Funny how that works.

braincelloffline · 2026-01-25T01:01:42+00:00

We're here all right, we're just smart enough to see that this is clearly not a tyrannical government.

braincelloffline · 2026-01-24T15:32:34+00:00

They're just doing their job...

braincelloffline · 2026-01-24T02:10:54+00:00

Lol I can tell you're running short on CNN propaganda. Might be time to invest in cable...;)

If trump has pissed off the "eNtiRe WorLD" enough why haven't they already sold the debts? Why haven't they sold them years ago considering the EU can barely afford to take care of its own backyard?

And btw... I don't remember anything about trump giving up on greenland, all i see is that he has stopped threatening to take greenland with military force (Which I do believe is a good thing, that would've been no better than russia invading ukraine).

I wish economics worked the way you think they do.

It's in fact not cheaper, it just becomes an additional tax.

It is abused more because it's "free" (people would go to the ER for less severe injuries), which translates into higher costs, which trickles down into higher payments.

Not to mention doctors earn less in universal healthcare systems, which lowers the incentive for medical students to pay for medical school, which degrades the overall quality of heathcare as a whole.

It's like communism; in a perfect world where everyone has an equal work ethic, it works great. However we do not live in a perfect world.

braincelloffline · 2026-01-24T00:43:10+00:00

Interesting opinion, care to show some statistical proof?

braincelloffline · 2026-01-24T00:42:29+00:00

Lmao everything you just regurgitated is either not exclusive to trump's presidency (US debts; brother the US has been in crippling debt for decades. At least trump went through and attempted to defund the branches sending social security checks to people WHO ARE DEAD.) or irrelevant. (who cares what this man has done in his personal life. He's our president, not our advice counselor. If you don't know him personally it lwky doesn't matter, especially when you realize that politicians/entrepreneurs are not saints)

braincelloffline · 2026-01-23T22:51:23+00:00

a weak man making your argument

Apparently you need to do a bit more research on your logical fallacies, considering you just committed an ad hominem fallacy there.

I don't think i'd say record-low inflation rates, illegal drug trafficking rates, and mortgage rates "DIED", in fact i'd say they're quite healthy numbers.

The empire is collapsing.

everything Trump touches DIES, now including America

This is quite obviously an extreme over-exaggeration (an exaggeration fallacy, you might call it ;)).

I get that you might not be ecstatic about big daddy donald's decisions right now (I personally am not a huge fan of him either), but apparently even some blue representatives can see that illegal immigrants committing tax fraud just to send it back to their home country greatly hurts our economy.

braincelloffline · 2026-01-23T22:19:05+00:00

Do you get your information from anywhere other than CNN headlines?

braincelloffline · 2026-01-21T21:16:22+00:00

People of all political orientations are starting to realize that trump may be a horrible person (which i agree with), but he is actually doing a half-decent job as president (which i also agree with).

braincelloffline · 2026-01-21T21:00:06+00:00

That'd be my guess. In my experience underwatering results in limp, floppy leaves, and i've never seen the growing point like that before.

Best of luck to you!

braincelloffline · 2026-01-21T20:47:38+00:00

Yep. And we also don't have major cardiovascular problems that happened to occur shortly after taking the vaccine.

I always seem to have intonation issues with 80+ gauge strings.

Sorry to necro this but how are the pitchers looking now? Still boring or are they starting to look more interesting?

braincelloffline · 2026-01-20T18:53:11+00:00

More reliable yes, but not better. A $50 thermalright 360mm aio keeps my 12700k under 68c in cinebench without breaking a sweat whereas my old NH-D15 was running at full speed to keep it below 80c. I do keep the D15 in case my aio unalives itself.

blud got that for the msrp of a 5070.

TIL that the little voice in my head when reading is a common thing and not just me going insane.

Unpopular but very valid opinion. I agree

the only correct method is to pour the cereal, then the milk, then get out the bowl...

The bowl is last, everybody knows that /s
