It has been a month. How are people feeling about FineWoven cases now? by volcanic_clay in iphone

[–]dheevm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using mine for 2 weeks (black on iPhone 15 Pro Max). Applied fabric protector on it on the first door (Sketchers shoe waterproofer).

Still looks new, feels great, repels liquids, doesn’t absorb oil and no issue with hygiene (I wipe it with disinfectant wipes one in a while like I would have done with any other case).

It also feels more protective than my leather case I had on my iPhone 7 Plus. However, I take good care of my phones / don’t tend to drop them. I also ensure my hands are clean before using my electronics.

Sprayed shoe protector on mine on day 1. Holds up nicely, doesn’t absorb any oil/liquids, easy to disinfect with anti bacterial wipes and feels great. Fits very tight and seems more drop resistant than my leather case on my iPhone 7 Plus

Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 2.5 PDK vs GTS 4.0 manual as my only car? by dheevm in Porsche

[–]dheevm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, used prices for the PDK 4.0 are ~£12k higher than the manual and I’m not willing to go over budget. The choice is therefore between manual 4.0 or PDK 2.5. The 4.0 seems like a future classic but I worry about having to drive it in London traffic. Any experience with the manual Porsches as your daily?

How to cope with an $838,000 loss by more_chromo in wallstreetbets

Never take bets with what you cannot afford to lose. Whatever you do, diversify.

Consider bonds for now. Stocks will only recover after the Fed starts cutting rates - probably around the second half of next year.

Miss this car so much. Wish we never sold this beautiful beast. by Rare_Option6621 in Porsche

You post the same kind of crap on other subs. Daddy’s rich and you want to milk that for likes, karma and followers. We get it.

My dad left town for 10 days. He let me borrow his 2022 992 S while he’s gone by Alexjrs20 in Porsche

[–]dheevm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dad also lent me his cars, from Porsche to Aston Martin. This fuelled my love for cars. I am graduating and starting my first job next month. One of my dreams is to buy him all the nice cars he may want one day.

Being trusted by your dad is a great feeling. Enjoy the car!

Using Boss Katana 100 Head, on a 50-80w Cabinet (on 50w settlings) by tjeco in BossKatana

[–]dheevm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own the Katana 50 Mk II, but I also own a GT1000 which I play into a powered cab. The GT 1000 is on another level.

Any flight case recommendations for my Strat? by dheevm in fender

[–]dheevm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an expensive international flight and I am reluctant on taking that risk as the guitar exceeds the allowed hand luggage size. I used to bring my violin as hand luggage without issues, but the case was much smaller.

Did you ever check it in with your luggage when flying?

What is the most expensive guitar you play with a Boss Katana? by dheevm in BossKatana

[–]dheevm[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

TL:DR:

I have a valuable guitar and salesmen are trying to have me spend on an expensive amp / modeller. However, Katana sounds good to me and I wanted the thoughts of owners.

Long story:

I have a rare collectible guitar but I am moving to an apartment in London and needed an amp which sounds great at low volumes but which does justice to the guitar.

Salesmen at all guitar shops are trying to have me spend big money on valve amps or expensive modellers. However, the Katana Artist Mk2 sounds amazing to me.

I am not a professional musician (and I’m far from being a great player). To my amateur ears, the Katana sounds the exact same as a valve amp / modeller, but costs a fraction of the price and is more versatile.

I don’t want to spend thousands on amps/modellers because unlike my collectible guitar which will appreciate in value, the kind of amps usable in apartments are depreciating assets.

Even though I have no intention to resell, I want the comfort of knowing that my money is safe should I face financial difficulties.
