    No time for that. Did read that there's now an underground smuggling world of GPUs at the source. I'm sure this will have a huge positive impact on availablity and price. "It just fell off the truck"

    Micro Burst or whatever they are calling it now off Grande Isle in Louisiana. Multiple boats went over and multiple people in the water from last night. Coast guard now has asked for any and all boat help. Fairly shallow water but guessing a 75mph+ gust doesn't take much to get out of hand in a...

    I can see AR, spent some time there hunting in various areas and hiking/backpacking in the ozarks and Ouachita mountains. When I lived there a number of years ago the population was 225. It had a regional bank (now closed), post office (now closed), auto parts store (now closed), cafe (now...

    Apparently Trump reauthorized, sure Biden will strike it down soon. Effective apparently but I've never used one. Used by profession trappers and killers hired by the government I think. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M44_(cyanide_device) When the trap is triggered, the spring propels a dose of...

    No idea but I imagine the poison and shit has really been cut back from the federal government. In my lifetime it used to be common to put out cyanide trap bombs for coytoes. The coyotes would smell the trap, put their mouth up to it and it would go off and blow up injecting them with cyanide...

    Lot of stuff similar to foam is getting very hard to get. Plastics and such as well. Already supply was thinning out due to reduced workers at chemical plants that supply the mains tock. Throw in the reduction of oil being refined which is where a large part of the stock starts. Reason most...

    Pandemic Prices: Assessing Inflation in the Months and Years Ahead | The White House Hmm where would that come from? One risk the Administration is monitoring closely is inflation. But the PCE leaves out food and energy prices so we're actually okay, who needs food and gas?

    More effort into that manifesto than effort into things that will actually impact the game. Every few months GGG gets on a manifesto binge and then in 3 months another to bring up all the stuff that didn't change since the last one.

    Ummm no, not even playing right now but someone on reddit posted a link to a site you could click by system in Delve with all the kepstar and other citadel kills in the war. But I imagine it's going to be pretty big tidi/crash fest once it gets kicked off.

    Just spray your stuff with steam. That's what they do when a pressure vessel is glowing red hot in places to keep it from failing. Can't spray it with water or it would crack so they spray it with 20+ steam lances until it's replaced. Hot and humid, sure why not lol.

    Big thing as well one telecaster I'm not using is routed for humbucker in the neck so that's a puls lol. No real reason but anyone know the difference in the Epiphone ES-339 and Epiphone 339 Pro? Same specs, same price, but a few different color options. I think the Pro was available last year...

    Yeah in a tele. What makes a tele is the single coil in in the bridge and the metal around it giving it the twang. I mostly play on the bridge so a humbcucker at the neck would give more options. Also that's how it's normally done on a tele if you have a single coil and a humbucker. But if you...

Listed a half dozen and I'm not sure insurance pays for most of them because you're obviosuly supressing your immune system. Not really sure now is the time to be experimenting with it.

    For no particular reason other than I'm very very bored I'm thinking about putting a humbucker in the neck of one of my telecasters. One of them I almost never play is routed for a humbucker already. Probably cheaper to rewire and add one in a body that's already routed than buy a 70's custom...
