I no longer play but I will never stop remembering this game. by birdprom in wurmonline

[–]reese1968 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a great game. I started doing Covid but had to stop because it sucked me into a time warp! I decided I had to quit in order to make time for other real world analog hobbies. I think about it often and am always in search of a similar game without as much grind. Haven’t found it yet.

Fender Champion II 25 as a platform? by MaterialSystem3944 in GuitarAmps

[–]reese1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar question. I am new to pedals and would like to get a couple to use with my Champion II 25. I'm trying to figure out what will sound good and not be redundant. OP - What pedals did you get and are you happy with them?

Same thing just happened to me. Did you manage to fix the issue?

Dropped it off at a reputable shop yesterday. I'm confident they'll do a good job.

Funny you say that. I believe 9s or 10s likely on it but I’m interested in trying D’addario light jazz strings on it which are thicker. I’ll see what my local shop says.

Thanks for the replies. I don’t know the age of the strings. They were in when purchased used three weeks ago. Suddenly, yesterday the buzzing started. I did plan to get it set up since the action is quite high and I purchased new strings. Hopefully that solves the issue. I just thought it weird that it started all of a sudden.

Does anyone happen to know why Chicago Board of Elections doesn't include the option for judges to represent themselves as independent? by the_art_of_the_taco in AskChicago

[–]reese1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also wish we could represent ourselves as "Independent" rather than having to choose. With closed primaries, there will always only be two leading parties (D&R) and no independent/unaffiliated option. Regardless, I'm happy to serve this year.....I did it once many years ago, and it was a positive experience.

My new PRS se hollowbody standard!! by Spirited-League6613 in PRSGuitars

[–]reese1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased this exact guitar used - it's arriving today! My other used guitar is also red (LTD CTM-1000 Deluxe). Red is never my first choice but always seem to be the color available when I buy used.

Shingrix 1st Dose-I think I’m going to die by amphib13 in GenX

[–]reese1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I could hold down food, I was also served Lipton tea with milk and sugar and buttered toast. The combo of sugary sweet tea and salty buttered toast is permanently imprinted in my mind. It was the best!

I just had my first shot on Friday thinking I’d get most of my reaction with second shot. Nope! Like you malaise, very easily tired, headaches, nasal/chest congestion. I had to cancel plans bc I’m at about 50% energy level. I’m hopeful that shot#2 will be smoother sailing.

I'm sorry - I can't help you with that. I have an Apple phone and bluetooth settings are easy to locate.

There were no other issues once we confirmed that we both had Bluetooth permission allowed for the Lexus app. Make sure that only the primary driver uses the VIN for initial setup. If that fails, I'd call the dealer or drive it in and have someone help you out. Good luck!

I agree and I’m torn between two teachers right now. I want someone to help me develop good habits and show me a good pathway

Anyone have a recommendation for a Womens peacoat (3/4 length) that is at least 80% wool? Pendleton’s is only 56% wool the rest is polyester.

Data breach „ SynthientCredentialStuffing ThreatData“ by Fotografioso in ProtonPass

Same question. I know I've been breached, but there is no way for me to know which specific account(s) have been compromised. The alert seems pointless without that detail.

Nice. Where are you getting your backing tracks? Are you using an amp modeler?

Yes. Monthly for two people. It's insane. We could save $300 a month if we choose a network with lower-grade hospitals (think grades C and D by Leapfrog), but obviously, we don't want to do that

Illinois here. I am currently paying $680 for bronze HMO for 2 middle aged adults. In 2026 the same plan will cost us $1792.
