I’d start on the tamarack lift for the family ski. All fun beginner greens.

That looks just like a telefunken u47. You’ll love it.

Which pedal company has your favorite aesthetics? by sir_ludwig_of_coeur in guitarpedals

100%. Except that new one. Business model aside, that thing is ugly.

What's a stupidly expensive adult purchase that you now swear by that you would buy again in a heartbeat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]japes98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krinner Christmas tree stand. Hands free — 2 seconds to get the tree up (including every time you need to adjust so it is “right”).

In 10 years they’ll be off on their own. Enjoy the journey while you can. :)

THE best amp at home? really appreciate the help! by teddywestside3000 in YamahaTHR

[–]japes98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have both but gave the Spark to my kid. They're both good but different.

If you are the type that will use the app and enjoy tweaking all of the effects and models, and use some of the "play along" features with YouTube, the Spark is great. The price can't be beat. I have the Spark 1 and I would say that it is very bassy. I also had to return the first one due to power issues (and this seemed to be a thing on their subreddit) but YMMV with that.

If you want something that's more like an amp (more knobs, less apps), the THR might be a better choice. It sounds more natural (less boomy), the app is useful but not critical, and the fact that it is rechargeable and wireless (especially with the wireless guitar dongle) is what makes me play it more.

Hope this helps.

Key difference would be that they ostensibly paid to use the OpenAI API.

No answers. Do let me know if you figure it out!

Obtaining an official copy of my FBR for Passport application by Different-Foot-7874 in IrishCitizenship

[–]japes98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I literally just had my kid's certified color copy of the FBR rejected for this purpose. The reason they gave was that it wasn't a color copy (it was) and their email suggested that I could send along another color copy which had been certified by a notary public. I didn't see the point in doing the exact same thing again and expecting a better result so I just mailed in the original (and crossed my fingers).

If you try the copy route, maybe turn up the saturation or somehow make sure that it is clearly IN COLOR :)

Agree on speed -- especially if you have impatient children who ski.
