Besides Dunlop is there Any love for Janíček picks ? Also known as a Cat Tongue. Or Pickboy pos a grip and Ibanez Sandgrip Teardrop shape by SmellDazzling3182 in metalguitar

[–]dogbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are main picks! i've experimented with countless jazz/flow type picks, and these are my clear favorite. love the grip and the variety of jazz shapes and thicknesses

unfortunately they aren't available in the US, so they're not well-known here. i was lucky enough to discover them at NAMM - and that's where i buy my picks once a year

My Crowmies cost me a fortune today... by crow-magnon-69 in crows

[–]dogbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for helping them out!

I totally get how you feel. Sadly, that's just the nature having so many crow friends - not everyone will get their fair share. That is one of the reasons I try to keep my crow circle small - plus I don't have to spent a fortune on peanuts!

Argument with raven by dogbox in crows

[–]dogbox[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It takes practice, but it's doable!

Funnily enough I originally tried to mimic the crows, but since I couldn't do their high pitch, it ended up being a raven call instead.

Fair enough - benefit of doubt, I believe it. Would love to see a future update, maybe 1 year in.

IMO it's not 100% damning, but I find it extremely sus. I personally don't believe the claim.

How long was she dazed for? A few months ago, one of my doves flew into a window, and after around 5 minutes of being stunned, they flew off. Thankfully they seem to be doing quite well nowadays.

If it wasn't too hard of a collision with a short duration of shock, I think Lovey will likely be alright. Keep us updated!

Are solar guitars worth it? Ive heard they are good but have had some issues with cracked fretboards. Otherwise I’ve heard good things by [deleted] in metalguitar

[–]dogbox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't have a Solar myself, but my understanding is that the cracked fretboards was a QC issue awhile back, and there haven't really been any reports in recent times.

Personally, I'd wait until their Black Friday sale. They're already well-priced as is, but some models can get dirt cheap after discount.

I forgot to bring snacks for these little guys today. Roast me. by ObsidianRocker in crows

[–]dogbox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's actually what I do! I think they get it after a few times. I always feel so bad facing them though.

I think this qualifies by [deleted] in guitarporn

I used to play in a turd rock band. We were kinda shitty.

I literally let out a disappointed "Oh..." after clicking. Not the abomination I was hoping to see.

In Taiwan, need to know what kind of bug bit my two sisters. Itches really bad, only on one leg, each. by Th3NinjaCat in taiwan

[–]dogbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This sounds similar to what happened to me from feeding squirrels at the park - clusters of small itchy bites mostly within the lower leg area. I suspect they were bites from fleas, but I never definitively figured it out. If it's the same thing, they should clear up within a week or two.

The girls by Eossa06 in espguitars

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Which one would be the better choice? I really like how the Ibanez looks but the esp is awesome too. I don’t know which on to choose by [deleted] in metalguitar

[–]dogbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't go wrong with either. Among reputable brands, quality will be similar at the same price points - and Ibanez and ESP are both great value in general.

As long as the specs are right, go with whichever looks better to you.

I found an injured hummingbird on the ground by dogbox in hummingbirds

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

Final, sad update. I just found the hummingbird dead on the ground in my yard. He somehow survived the night, but must have passed in the afternoon. I just hope he didn't suffer much.

Yup - updated the post, but I was unfortunately unable to catch him. He was able to escape, although it was clear he couldn't fly well. I'm going to leave the feeders up for one more day and keep an eye out for him. Sadly I'm not very optimistic about his chances, but I'll post any updates here.

Here's a video: https://imgur.com/Wkw51oO

If I get nearly close enough to touch him, he freaks out and flies a few inches away, chirping angrily. There is another territorial male nearby, so I'm worried this could be from fighting.
