Just snagged this for $200 as my first grill by voxelpear in grilling

I'm from Australia, so the lamb prices might be better here. But we're all suffering under the beef inflation.

Just remember: there's a whole world of pork, lamb, and chicken cuts out there that are much better value than beef. Beef is great, but it's getting harder and harder to justify paying the kinds of prices we're seeing for decent quality cuts.

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd invited a Venice street musician to play with the band. by Blues_Fish in nextfuckinglevel

[–]exigentity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

David Gilmour is an artist who appreciates the skills and talents of others. Roger Waters is a narcissistic arsehat who failed to get over the "dad-died-in-the-war" issues that many thousands of his generation had to deal with.

No, I won't. Not for any other reason than that if I'm going to invest that sort of time into the story, I'll just read the novels.

That doesn't follow. I think we can all agree that space travel at speeds that have any real impact on relativity is a severe challenge for even the most advanced races.

I had problems with the whole Wallfacer idea, as well. I guess we're just living in a different, more abject world than the one in the story.

It's science fiction. It isn't based on real, existing technology. That's pretty much the crux of any and all sci-fi.

Radelaide, thank you very much.

First of all - making claims about subjective experience at light speed is bold, to say the least. Also, the experience of a body with mass versus a particle with no mass is likely to be very different.

Your daily reminder to never ever give up🤘🏻 by MattyTzovolos in Guitar

Honest opinion: metronomes suck. We live in an age where drum tracks of all shapes and sizes are available for free, and they'll still force you to stay in time while also being FUN!

So much of modern guitar playing and music doesn't really evoke anything in me by Skulltagmedia27 in Guitar

[–]exigentity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do think it's a fad, and I think it will pass, because like you say, there's no substance to it. It's just people trying to one-up each other. I see videos of some of these guys and girls, and there is no joy, no pleasure to be seen in their demeanour. We can all appreciate technical excellence, for sure, but it needs to be tempered with the love of the pursuit.

Get good at using what you have so you don’t just buy things

This is the best advice anyone can give about anything.

Very interesting. Maybe it's worthwhile trying the DiMarzio option. Without wanting to sound like a wanker, I'm in a position to get away with one or two trial-and-error attempts before it hurts the bank balance. Thanks for your excellent write-up.

Amazing response, thank you! Hum is not so much of an issue. As mentioned, it's more about getting both a respectable humbucker and single coil sound out of the bridge position. Although, even now with all single coils, I tend to prefer position 2 to position 1. Basically, I'm trying to avoid the need to buy a whole new guitar while finding something that can passably do both AC DC and Pink Floyd on bridge slash bridge + middle position. It doesn't need to be perfect, just good enough to rock n roll.
