The Matchless DC30 model on the Helix is fantastic. Like I said, I haven't been digital in 12-13 years. The tech is so much better now. You can really dig in. The dynamic response is impressive.

When I first beat this game I thought it didn't have much replay value but I'm playing it again and maybe enjoying it even more. Knowing the map and where you find certain items definitely helps.

I had no idea you could jump on Lynel backs.

The A's owner sucks.

What's the significance of waiting until that date?

Helix came in today. Stoked to dive into this thing! Didn't take long to arrive at all. Even arrived a day early.

Fuck yeah it is! That Gin was fantastic! God Trey in the 90s was the shit. Perfect tone. No slop. So good.

I'm an extrovert too. This has been awful. I booked a flight back to Cincinnati. One way. At least then I can see family and things are opening up there. CA will be in shutdown mode for at least another month.

Yeah the reviews are amazing. But I want to actually play one. I'm very picky about neck profile and fret accessibility and I need to play one before I dump $1500 on a guitar. Unfortunately all the guitar shops are closed right now.

I think that has very little to do with working from home and more to do with a neighbor with an asshole dog.

That was the year Brady went down in the first game and missed the entire season. Matt Cassel filled in and wasn't terrible.

I need to start the NG+ with this one. Love this game.

Anyone have experience with Eastman guitars? Reviews make them sound like they're what Gibson should be. I've always loved the look of a Les Paul but Gibson guitars just never did it for me. They definitely aren't worth the price. But these Eastmans look pretty and legit and the reviews are...

OK our product support team is in India too and they're largely pretty damn bad.

Almost our entire engineering team is based in India. Our product is very good and improves monthly.

I was supposed to be in Denver last weekend for the Reds-Rockies series. Fucking thing sucks.

Steelers are the most hypocritical trash organization.

After hours of research, I went for the Line 6 Helix LT. Looking forward to this. Amp modeling technology has come a long way since the mid 2000s.

I don't think it would actually be in the stadium. Probably would only be on the broadcast.

It's much worse without the crowd. The laughs add cadence to the delivery of the jokes and it falls flat delivered without it.

What is this a sitcom?

I'm going to want a programmable expression pedal. You can do really cool things with that. Love toe-up being clean and toe-down being distortion. Dope effect.

I'm debating a Helix vs Helix LT. Think the LT is better for me since I don't need all of the extra inputs/outputs. I really like the digital displays on the foot switches. But is it worth the extra $500? Hard no.

What's the problem with that?

It's not that bad really. It's one meeting on Monday morning that takes an hour. But in the enterprise world where you're working on seven figure deals sometimes it's really difficult to forecast a month.

That wouldn't fly. Obviously not happening in the current environment, but we're planning on going public really soon. We have monthly commits now. It's annoying.

I could never get away with doing nothing. The tech enterprise sales life. Never-ending. Unless you work with a company that's going down the shitter. Then sales is really easy because you're not selling shit. You're just in a depressing environment.

I can't believe this, but I actually might go digital processor again. I haven't had one since the GNX3 and thought I would never look back after switching to analog. But the tech has gotten exponentially better since and they sound fucking amazing. The Line 6 Helix looks and sounds legit.

Twitter announced today that employees are no longer required to go into the office. Even after this is over. WFH is an option for everyone.

Fuck this. It'll likely happen up here if it's happening down there. I might move back to Ohio for the summer. https://abc7.com/safer-at-home-stay-order-los-angeles/6176132/

Ramen Tatsuya is indeed legit.

The mandolin confounds me. Frets are so tiny. And you see dudes like Chris Thile who can sweep pick with ease on it.

Holy shit. That's fucking intense.

You know it's the offseason when every discussion turns into a Cowboys discussion.

Interesting. I'll look into carbon steel as well. I'm itching to use my sous vide so I want to purchase one today.

Is a torch not necessary if you have the cast iron? I can see that being completely redundant. It's not like I make desserts. So I wouldn't be using this for creme brulee or anything.

This ramen is super cheap but I find it to be very flavorful. The Samyang hot chicken ramen already mentioned is pretty good too.

I'm also accepting recommendations on a cooking torch.

Think I'm gonna pick up this one. No idea why there are 4-5 different Lodge 12" cast iron skillets but this is the only one that comes with a cover.

I have an embarrassing confession. I don't have a cast iron skillet. I just got a sous vide so now is the time to finally dive in. Any recommendations? Do brands really matter since cast iron is about as simple as it gets in terms of construction and material?
