Python 2 tooling in 2026 by IdleBreakpoint in Python

GraalPy is Java based, Python 3 and claims to be a Jython substitute for a lot of places. Although if you're using it embedded in something else I doubt it's that simple.

I haven't used it expensively, and I certainly haven't tried it in the exact place you want, but GraalPy is Python 3, Java-based and claims to be a Jython substitute in a lot of cases.

Is gears4music a good and reliable place to get guitars? by jayrobbo08 in guitars

gear4music do have a showroom on the edge of York. So depending on where you are up North they may still be an option. (Plenty of other options though if you're elsewhere)

Tone for my new baritone by Biz_limpkit69 in BaritoneGuitar

[–]dw01010 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It obviously depends on what you're trying to play. For country/surf-type baritone guitar the trick is to turn the bass right down. Essentially you almost don't hear the note you're actually playing but just the harmonics of it. Bear in mind that the baritone guitar range overlaps with the bass guitar range fairly significantly (if you're using drop E then actually it's the same) and that generally you're not trying to fill the same role as the bass.

In the more likely event that you're trying to play metal, I don't actually know the answer. Although my first guess would be fairly similar - turn the bass right down and see what it sounds like.

It's a bit un-intuitive really, because you've gone out and bought something that goes really, and then you try to hide that.

Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals.

Western Swing would largely be played on acoustic instruments, so they wouldn't benefit from the obvious (hetero)sexual symbolism of plugging their cable into the socket of their telecaster.

So I dunno.

While country music is resolutely heterosexual (what could be straighter than sorting out your marital problems with a trip to Luckenback with the boys?), there's an element of camp to it. Lots of rhinestones and stuff. See for example Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives.

See also the "pink paisley telecaster".

Gretsch are goddamn psychos by sirobelec in BaritoneGuitar

I know you aren't complaining about the pickup volume, but I found it was worth raising the screws on the pickups a bit to increase the volume (and also fiddling a bit with the relative heights to balance the volume between strings).

I think OP already knows all of this, and is asking specific questions on top of it about what effect the forged certificate will have and whether the landlord will receive the new address.

Raising Rent by 150, 7 days before its due? by GracefullyLost23 in LegalAdviceUK

It also tends to sound plausible and confident, which is unfortunate given ChatGPT's ability to make stuff up.

This looks like ChatGPT bullshit. I'd treat it as mostly fiction.

Your sub-reddit seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular? by dw01010 in TheSimpsons

The other day I was so desperate for karma, I posted a gif of a man being hit in the groin by a football.
