    I should learn how to solder and brush up on my woodworking skills and become a luthier and open a custom shop and do setups and mods for people as a side hustle. (No, this isn’t a coke head “let’s start a restaurant” thought, but I am sleep deprived and extremely caffeinated)

    Guitar gear nerd shit

    Fishman should make a Fluence version of Seymour Duncan P-Rails where the single coil and p90 are printed to have the single coil hotter to match the p90 output so the combined humbucker mode isn’t all uneven and muddy.

    Fluence design clarity in a hot swiss army knife pickup like the P-Rails design would be so sick, wire it up with coil tap and an out of phase option and it’d be like the ultimate versatile pickup option.

    Put that bad boy in a neck through design guitar with 24 frets, locking trem and locking tuners, a killswitch, a D-tuner on the low E, and put a Whammy Ricochet on your pedal board for lowering the tuning when you need to and you’d pretty much have a set up that can play anything that’s in any regular interval or drop tuning.



  • Anybody have a good report on the Khakhovka Dam collapse from last June? Had a discussion/disagreement with a pro-Ukraine guy irl about stuff after the golf course Trump would-be assassin turned out to be a deranged NAFO guy and the irl guy was trying to deflect about “Russian imperialism” at the same time he was claiming “Putin is doing scorched earth tactics purely out of vindictive national hatred of the Ukrainian people” and claimed Russia destroyed the dam just to flood out the region downstream of it to ruin infrastructure.

    I don’t know enough about it to push back on it confidently and didn’t want to reveal my power level too much, but the whole thing read to me like the “Russia is gonna blow up the ZNPP as a dirty bomb” thing awhile back where I was just like “…the power plant they control? That they captured and secured? That they’d want to maintain as valuable infrastructure if they intend on conquering everything in Ukraine like you claim?” I know there’s a lot of fog of war shit in reporting from an active warzone, but I’m almost certain this guy believed in the “Ghost of Kiev” and probably soyfaced over the “Russian warship, go fuck yourself” Snake Island thing, and the dam collapse thing being a vindictive Russian scorched earth thing just sounds fishy to me. Weren’t there reports of it being hit with US supplied HIMARS by Ukrainian forces or am I thinking of something else?

    Pushing back on this kind of shit makes me feel like pepe-silvia sometimes I stfg
