    NBA 2019-2020 Season: Kawhi Saved Us

    Assuming Warriors are one of the two West teams not invited. Would be pretty funny if they were. Klay and Steph could be healthy in time to claim an 8th seed.

    Nice. Never really thought of PRS as an acoustic brand but my friend has one and it's pretty solid. I almost stopped playing my 714 completely since I got my Helix. That thing is just too much fun.

    Rick and Morty

    Aren't we in a universe where this Beth isn't "our Rick's" Beth? Did Rick make the clone of the Beth in the universe he inherited after he abandoned C-137? Kinda loses some of the emotional value of the ending.

    I flew back to Cincy to escape locked down SF. Had a layover in Dallas and tried Smashburger for the first time. Not In-N-Out or Shake Shack level, but certainly respectable. Just a bit too salty. Definitely not worth the money though. It was $11 for just the burger. Could have been...

    I personally think Robert California is pretty hilarious. But I know that's not a popular opinion.

    You forget what that feels like once you develop those callouses. I can play for hours now and never feel it. I don't even have fingerprints on my fingertips anymore.

    Fantastic episode. Many laugh out loud moments. Colin setting them up for the open mic. Just fantastic.

    Silicon Valley

    It's realistic in the sense that, like any Mike Judge production, the satire is extremely close to home. But the show's object is obviously not to be "as realistic as possible". The show is completely absurd, yet realistic at the same time. That's the genius of Mike Judge. It's why people...

    Seven string guitars became known to me by John Petrucci. I used to be obsessed with Dream Theater. Still never had a desire to go that low.

    I've never found a need or desire to go any lower than drop D. Maybe there was a time in high school when I was really into System of a Down but not since.

    Did your grandpa invent the convection oven and you're worried air fryers are going to make people forget his legacy? Getting so worked up over something so trivial.

    I love Bruery. I've only had Oude Tart out of those. They make so many beers it's impossible to keep up. Has anyone jumped aboard the Alvarado St bandwagon yet? They're quickly becoming my new fave and auto-buy when I see them. I think the difficulty of finding them helps fuel that. Why are...

    A traditional convection oven and an air fryer are different enough in design to be called two different things. Air fryer has a drip pan where you don't have to give a shit what you put in there. Can't really do that with most convection ovens. You wouldn't place strips of bacon in a...

    Woah I just looked up Nora's Wiki page. She was in Prince's backing band. And they even collaborated on some songs. She must be legit. Prince didn't mess around with scrubs.

    I thought it was great. Referencing earlier episodes with the "pick a lane" phrase. Getting high and playing video games saves the day.

    I'm running it straight into my Orange TH30. Have my Orange set to be as dry as possible so the Helix is doing all the work. I've also been using headphones here and there, but I have a pretty bad headphone setup that needs drastic improvement.

    My sous vide saw it's maiden voyage this weekend. Of course, I made steak. 133 degrees for almost two hours. Brushed with vegetable oil. Seared in a high heat cast iron for 50 seconds each side. After the first flip I tossed in some butter and basted the steak. This was easily the best...

    Yeah that needs more cheese. Speaking of ramen, all the best ramen joints here are stupid popular and have hour plus long waits. It's worth it, but thanks to COVID they're delivering now. This ramen talk has me thinking I should celebrate this American holiday with some primo home delivered...

    I just bought a Line 6 Helix last week and I'm loving it. Line 6 has come a long way since the Flextone II. That's the last thing of theirs I owned. The models are pretty spot on. I've been modeling all sorts of my favorites' rigs based on their interviews and rundowns and I'm impressed how...

    I dislike Gibson necks. Big and bulky. Mentioned this here earlier. I much prefer thin necks. My friend has a PRS CE and I dig it. Definitely a well built guitar.

    This is exactly what I was getting ready to type up. Fender Twin/Deluxe, compressor for the percussive twang, and a tube screamer.

    If your loop is too loud and then you play on top of that at a louder volume you're adding more breakup which will make it sound more muddy. Could be an EQ adjustment but I would look into lowering your volume/gain across the board first.

    I would just decrease the volume of the looper. Adding more volume to an already muddy sound will just make it more muddy.

    I'm always running multiple ODs and I want those to take control when active and not get limited by a compressor. Plus as jooka mentioned you get added sustain.

    Yeah compressor is almost always the first or second thing in the chain.
