Directional antennas exist and are very inexpensive

I hadn’t considered survivorship bias or that my original assertion was wrong. Solid point.

There’s some interesting information in here for sure. Some speculation about intentional allowances for some warping to occur, and information about how some tops are basically 3-ply plywood which is a bit more stable.

Yeah I’m familiar with guitar humidors and things like that which are used to protect valuable guitars. And they make perfect sense.

But I’m thinking about just regular parlor guitars, instruments that sit out in relatively uncontrolled environments and are played regularly, and instruments that are used on tours. Those instruments are subject to all kinds of chaos, and it seems like they should all be self destructing. And yeah, some do. But most don’t. And I think that’s really weird

Thanks for listing the states, NYT. Fucking useless.

I’d be pissed if I was one of these companies that supposedly already started building factories in the USA

There was a single MAGA with a trump flag at a protest I attended. But the worst that happened was everyone booed them and then a small group followed her around.

Fed up with Reddit’s owners, so I stopped my daily use. I did like Reddit more because of some well moderated and active subreddits, and I do occasionally pop my head in over there once a week or so to stay informed, but I spend almost all of my time here and on mastodon now.

I had a similar relationship with Facebook around 2015. Stopped pretty much entirely except for when I need to engage with Facebook marketplace, and I generally try to use Craigslist first.

Yes. I would prefer if he wasn’t a corporate Democrat. But I’m at the point where anyone who steps up at least gets brownie points.

Dudes a fucking legend. He’s still bringing the energy, too.

I’ve been considering cancelling my chatgpt subscription, what’s the advantage of lechat?

I hope my dude is sitting down somewhere alone

The traditional “leverage” is just the standard CEO - stockholder relationship. The CEO manages the company well and the stockholders reward the CEO with payment and/or by making the stock price go up by buying more and/or not selling. IMO that basic relationship broke down a while ago, but the stock market has been unhinged for so long that it seemed to not matter.

One of those is actually two possible outcomes. There’s TSLA Tanks (the stock) and TSLA Tanks (TSLA becomes an arms dealer), and they aren’t mutually exclusive.

Specifically the already dead child will be given all of the doses

Interesting, I had no idea. TIL

Yeah, laundry room, sometimes with a separate “slop sink” for extra filthy things. A laundry closet with a stacked washer/dryer is far more common though, especially in rental apartments/flats.

Is that a clothes washing machine in the kitchen?
