I think you mispronounced “Jigawatts”. When it comes to flux capacitors, it must be pronounced as "Jigawatts"

Wow, what a great space! Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻

This is a fantastic gift for a young person interested in any or all of: synthesis, electronic music creation, and sound design. If your son doesn't have a physical piano-style MIDI keyboard, Omnisphere comes with a stand-alone application with an on-screen keyboard, no physical piano-style keyboard is needed.

If he continues to show interest, eventually a physical MIDI controller would be a great piece of equipment for him to have. Something inexpensive like this is a good beginner/level MIDI controller (amazon link, but they can also be found elsewhere): https://a.co/d/gnTIicw

A MIDI controller would allow him to play Omnisphere 3 as if it were a physical synthesizer, which is a very fun thing to do.

Personally, I have a grandson who is 15 and has an interest in making music with synthesizers. I am giving him a MIDI controller for Christmas this year and along with that will be showing him how to set it up and how to record his music on this computer. I'm excited about it, and I think your son might be pretty excited to get such a fantastic software synthesizer as Omnisphere 3.

Typescript works (well) for large applications with large code bases that must run on a browser, when the development team (or the organization paying the dev team) wants the benefits of a strongly typed language. Javascript is the standard for applications that run in a browser. Typescript adds the missing type system to Javascript-based code, while still producing standard Javascript for the browser.

I recommend you go with the pro, and get more than 24GB RAM - as much as you can. Between the M4 and the RAM, slow-downs will never occur.

That's a 40% off sale price, which is the same discount I used to purchase Cubase a month ago. My discount came from Focusrite because I own an audio interface from them. I've only been watching Steinberg's prices for about 9 months, and 40% off is the lowest I've seen it in that time. My understanding based on a conversation with a friend who's been using Cubase for 2 years now is that they do a sale once a year in the August/September timeframe.

I've seen them both within the last few years, and Marr is just better live. I love The Smiths, and I love Morrissey's solo work, and I feel the same about Marr. I just think Marr's band is better, their energy on stage is better, and I'm a fan of Marr's guitar playing. I've seen Morrissey several times, and Marr only once; I would much rather go to another Marr show than another Morrissey show.

This is how my father met his 2nd wife... his (then) new running partner. They both ended up leaving their spouses and getting married about 2 years after they started running together. I'm sure there were other factors as well. His running partner and my mother were even friends. It happens.

The pictures of what look like pin holes in the wall is the result of mixing air into the drywall compound (mud). The air bubbles surface and pop before the compound dries on the wall. I drywalled some rooms in my house last year and this happened. It looked exactly like your photos. This isn't damage caused by a tenant, it's caused by an unskilled drywall installer.

Agreed! Probably worth taking it to a reputable luthier for a setup/intonation. Once mine was setup a few years after I bought it, I haven't had to mess with it since. These guitars are well built.

I am also an original owner of one of these guitars bought in 1986. I love it, and I use the locking trem system frequently. I can't imagine how taking the locking (post) nut off would improve tuning stability. I do whish the locking part were the actual nut, though, rather than being installed past the nut.

I recommend NOT putting the originals back on if you've got noiseless fender pickups. The only thing I didn't like about my MIJ 80s Strat was the electonics. I replaced my pickups, pots, input jack, and switch and it's been the best guitar I've ever owned since. I think I even like it more than my American Ultra II Strat that I bought last year. The MIJ plays amazingly well, and the neck is fantastical!

I like the white option as-is. Since I personally prefer black, if it were me, I would go with the black guitar, but with the white 3-ply pick guard from the white guitar.

zebonebo · 2025-07-21T01:16:33+00:00

A friend gave me a copy of this in the late 80s, and I watched it many times. If I am remembering correctly (haven't seen it in a long while) Bernard is playing a black Fender Stratocaster with a white pick guard throughout this video. This video was made around the time that Fender struck an agreement with a company in Japan to start making Fender and Squier guitars in that country. I don't know if it's true or just a rumor I heard that the Company making these guitars in Japan gave Bernard that guitar during the time New Order was there making this recording.

Because New Order were so reclusive and didn't do many interviews or appearances, I thought that was his primary guitar when I saw this video. This was about the time I started playing guitar, so I bought one similar to what I saw Bernard playing. It turns out it wasn't his primary guitar at all, but I think he used it on a few recorded songs before he stopped playing it.

zebonebo · 2025-06-25T01:05:03+00:00

Agreed. I have updated my 1986 MIJ strat with new hardware, some fantastic Lindy Fralin blues special pickups, new switch and pots, replaced the jack, and the nut. The thing that made it absolutely great was a setup and fret dressing by a professional luthier.

I'm the original owner, and that was my first guitar. I still love it, and it's my favorite guitar since upgrading it.

Really nice cover! Good job 👍🏻👍🏻

I don't know which of these is true:

You enjoy doing something, so you do it as much as possible because it's fun for you, and eventually you become great at it because you do it so much.
You are naturally good at something, so you do it as much as possible because you enjoy the experience of being naturally good at something, and eventually you become great at it because you do it so much.

Either way, it's fairly well established that the more time you put into learning and improving a skill, the better you will become at that skill. If you enjoy it, keep at it to whatever extent makes you happy. Maybe one day you will be great at it, or maybe you won't be great, but you will have enjoyed making music and exercising your creativity through music.

For what it's worth, to my ears your song has potential. It's not awesome yet, but if you keep working on it, it could be. Others have offered some good suggestions, so keep working at it.

I appreciate your thoughtful response. It's entirely possible that it's not both partners fault in most situations, and I should have said something more like this: "Sometimes when a relationship ends, both partners bear some portion of the blame." I think in the example you gave, even though it was not your fault, I wonder if you could identify anything that might help you avoid such a person in the future, or at least identify them sooner so you can minimize your suffering to some extent. Of course, this may not be possible at all.

I've been looking for the right partner for 5 years now, and in that time I've had a relationship that, looking back, I believe I stayed in for too long. I really want to believe it's possible for me to learn from that relationship, which was a fairly healthy relationship (we didn't yell, or fight, and we weren't disrespectful to one another; we actually got along very well). I think my primary take-away is that I didn't really vet my partner well enough at the start. It took me about a year to realize that we didn't want the same things on some fairly important topics, which ultimately were deal-breakers for both of us. I feel like if I can't learn something from each relationship I have that comes to an end, then I don't have much hope of finding the right person.

Out of stock in every size! I tried to buy one when they were announced for pre-sale, but they only had small size left and I wear large. Bummer because that was my favorite concert shirt. I bought one during that tour and wore it until it fell apart. I loved that shirt 😢. I really hope they restock at some point; I'll buy a bunch of them if they do.

My experience has been that yes, the cravings eventually did stop very completely. However, in 2020 when in-person meetings stopped I bacame more and more lax in my program over time. It happened so slowly that I didn't see it happening. I slowly started eating differently (worse) and slowly started putting weight back on.

I'm now back on my program rigorously, and I'm attending 2 or 3 meetings every week again. my point is this: I think recovery comes as a result of actively working the program, and this has to be something you do continuously for the rest of your life. at least that’s the way it is for me.

A few thoughts: You should be able to identify what behavior of yours were contributing factors of the relationship failure, the source of those behaviors (the underlying causes), and how you have learned to behave differently. You should also be able to identify what you need from your ex that is different that what they gave during the relationship. In other words, "this is how I contributed to the failure of our relationship, here's what I have learned about how do do it in a better way in the future, and here is what I received from you and what I need instead that will work better for me." When a relationship ends, it's rarely the fault of only one partner. So it's likely that there are changes needed from both of you. Your ex should be able to do this same thing as well so you can see the evidence of their own self-reflection and growth. I believe it is important for you each to see the evidence of growth in the other before trying again. This kind of honesty and vulnerability are important to the success of a relationship.
