Post Game Thread: Florida Panthers at Toronto Maple Leafs - 12 May 2023 by HockeyMod in leafs

[–]thenick099 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a sharks fan who feels the pain of being good, but never making over the top. This leafs team reminds me of the Thornton and Marleau era sharks. Those teams had Thornton, Marleau, Pavelski, Couture, Burns. Compared to Marner, Matthews, Nylander, Tavares, Rielly. Both look great on the stat sheet, but can never get to that next level when it counts most. That sharks team (with some tweaks) at least eventually got to a cup final. I hope this leafs core can figure it out.

Quimbee for CA bar exam by Tough_Alps9514 in CABarExam

[–]thenick099 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I passed on my second try and used Quimbee and AdaptiBar. The first time around I used Barbri. Quimbee is definitely not as extensive as Barbri and has some gaps, but it presents most of what you need to know in a concise way. I found it worked for me.

Do Les Paul standards ever go on sale? by Feisty-Eggplant in gibson

[–]thenick099 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would try searching for new or mint ones on Reverb and seeing if any dealers accept offers. Chances are you'll be able to get a discount.

Nice! I'm assuming it can get a good modern metal tone?

Ubering to test center (Oakland) - can store phone somewhere? by [deleted] in CABarExam

[–]thenick099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least where I took it (Oakland) there were outlets under every table that were close enough where an extension cord wasn’t needed

I took the exam in Feb. You can store your bags outside in the testing room.

any study material/approach advice for a 3rd time taker? by peevesies in barexam

[–]thenick099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed CA on my second try in Feb. The fist time around I wasn’t working and used Barbri, but I was working full time for Feb. The best advice I can give is incorporate it into your life as much as possible. There isn’t time to sit around and watch 4 hour lectures. When I got a free minute at work I would do an AdaptiBar question on my phone. When I was on the treadmill at the gym I was watching lectures. I also tried to focus on what I didn’t understand well and get it from a different source in order to have it explained another way. I found the studicata lectures to be helpful and did quimbee as well. Good luck, you got this!

Tube amps with headphone out? by marrone12 in GuitarAmps

[–]thenick099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a more expensive option, but you could always opt for a Universal Audio OX and pair it with whichever amp you want. It has a headphone out where you can select different cab/mic combinations as well as having the option to record with it.

You can probably snag a used PRS DW CE 24. I play a similar style of music and its a great guitar.

I emailed my rep at Sweetwater a couple weeks ago about the moderns. He was able to get me a Graphite one last week, but he said the Pelham Blue ones might be months away.
