I have been playing (just for fun) for about 15 years. During which I have tried countless different types of guitar picks.

Recently I'm gravitating towards really thick picks, like the well-known Jazz III or Big Stubby 3.0mm. I've noticed I can play fast alternate picking and triplets much easier with these.

What types of picks do you use, and why?

Ah you're right, I had assumed since it was a humbucker the two rows would be aligned straight, but now I see the coils are in line with the strings as they should be. Fascinating guitar OP. Nice work.

Nintendo must be thinking: Yall are still doing this?

Ah, yes coil split makes sense. But doesn't the angle screw with the humbucker when it's in HB mode? I've always heard humbuckers shouldn't be angled.

I'm curious why you went with the (~~reversed?~~) angle on the bridge humbucker pickup? I've never seen anything like it.

Ah I just noticed it's a lefty. But yeah, why the angled humbucker?

What they really mean is: Polite to them, the people with the means of easily inflicting deadly violence upon others.

Gun ownership is just another expression of the deep selfishness ingrained in American culture.

"Practical Engineering" is a fantastic channel. I especially appreciate all the infrastructure failure analysis videos he has done. It let me (a non civil engineer) understand why certain infrastructure disasters like collapses, power outages, or dam breaches were able to occur.

Max is probably right but that doesn't make Spa (my favorite track!) "safe". Two deaths in 4 years is very unusual for modern motor racing. Something needs to be done with Raidillon, like automatic instant yellow flags whenever a car leaves the track.

Or maybe a speed limit through Raidillon in the rain makes sense.

Their first album indubitably is my favorite, obviously.

Most of the Koopa kids were named after musicians

  • Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics
  • Iggy Pop from Iggy Pop & The Stooges
  • Roy Orbison, the songwriter and rock & roll legend
  • Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead
  • Ludwig van Beethoven, obviously

Someone should tell Retsuko about this kind of service.

Not sure how unpopular it is, but "The Settlers 2: 10th Anniversary" is a great remaster of a game which I think is a bit forgotten now. It's still a really fun and charming citybuilder with unique mechanics.

I think it's an exciting season so far, as long as you ignore Max a bit. Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin competing. Drivers and teams up and down the field struggling sometimes and excelling other times. Clear rules, which sometimes seem a bit silly but remove a lot of the arbitrary stewarding which I hated. Haas and Williams scoring points.

Then again watching Max is also exciting. It's Schumacher levels of dominance as he goes for every bit of pace on every race and every lap. Watching Max is watching a master athlete in his prime. That qualifying lap in Monaco was * chefs kiss *

"No one" in the US perhaps. Customers look down on retail workers, and feel free to abuse them, because they are so economically disempowered. A nation which pays retail workers a fair wage is also a nation where retail workers are treated (somewhat) better.

The oldest game I still really enjoy is probably The Secret of Monkey Island for DOS (1990). I like classic NES games too but I don't really play them anymore.

What's yours?
