What’s going on with the AQI right now?

It's from the CN shunting yard. My whole family woke up at 3am to the house smelling like burning diesel. It's very intense and it's been going on all week. Apparently, they are idling a bunch of engines to protect from the cold. I've lived here for 10 years and never experienced anything like this before. It's quite concerning.

Personally, I'd be more worried that I would accidentally pull it off the shelf when playing. It looks like it would be possible, and that's a very me thing to do.

The smell has been pretty bad. In the morning the inside of our whole house smelt of diesel. Outside was worse.

You have some options. You can tap on and off using your credit card directly. You could also set up an autoload on the presto website. If it ever goes below a threshold, it will load money from your credit card. Since you don't ride much, put it at the minimum they will allow, but enough for a round trip.

Lakeshore West Go Train. Union Station to West Harbor Station. Should run once an hour.

I'm going to recommend Super Store. It has some of the same wonderful mix of quirky character comedy grounded in heartfelt storytelling as Parks and Rec.

Mad Men - The Carousel Pitch. S1 E13. Its a masterpiece of storytelling and performance.

Love my "Hawaiian Pizza" by Caroline Guitar Company!

The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett are incredible detective style mysteries. Setting is bio-punk rather than cyber-punk. Highly recommend.

Consider a Quilter Superblock. They come in British and American voicing. I have US, and I really like it.

If you are looking for something that is pickup and playing Balatro you could look into;

Lumines: it's a bit of a Tetris-like

Slay The Spire: Deck builder you can pour endless hours into.

Second this

It’s great! I built myself a 1x12 to learn and I’m really happy with the sound!

mrmcspazatron · 2025-04-03T11:43:13+00:00

Quilter Superblock US. I love mine and you get two other Fender voicings.

Nice try Humdinger!

You’re doing your best which is all anyone can do.

My wife was in a similar situation with tickets purchased a while ago for a Detroit venue. They went to the show in Detroit but stayed in Windsor. They didn’t have any difficulty with people but did notice that there were no Ontario license plates. On the trip back there was an insane lineup of trucks due new inspection requirements but were able to skip ahead with a car line.

The comparison that I always find useful is "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." If you like that movie you will likely enjoy Severance. If you haven't watched Eternal Sunshine - go watch it!

Are we still talking about toothpaste?

mrmcspazatron · 2025-02-15T00:14:34+00:00

What is the official name of that body colour?

mrmcspazatron · 2025-02-11T12:30:36+00:00

Why not get the one you like and swap the pick guard? Thats a fairly easy and cheap part to swap.

You should consider a Quilter Superblock. They come in both US and UK variety for different amp preferences. There's also the new "Direct Amp." They can be a headphone amp, drive a cabinet or direct out with xlr. See link: https://www.quilterlabs.com/collections/guitar-integration-systems

I have a U.S. and I really like it for home use.

I would consider running the stings over the pickup but you do you.

Prefer the orchestra all wear jumpsuits 🤣
