Like, where exactly is the revenue stream there? I'm on peertube and that isn't paying off for me yet lol

Kind of think his talents are wasted on this creaky old franchise.

I've been running librewolf and it logs me out of everything every time I shut it down, so this is my normal view.

I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.

 

Interesting tune, apparently from the historically french area of missouri, aka upper lousiana.

paying for a one page ad in a newspaper is not the same as "paying for a protest".

I paid money to buy posterboard and magic markers to make a sign. Does that mean the "protests was paid" by me?

Very systematic breakdown of flatfooting, Ira Bernstein style. Works up to the four sound walking step towards the end.

From this Ira Bernstein youtube channel

And here's a performance with Riley Baugus.

 

nice version of Clyde Davenport's puncheon camps

 

Keep the rhythm going while you flip your banjo all over the place!

Well-cured wood can help. Guitars built with green wood will crack easily.

Plywood guitars are tough - my resonator guitars are impervious to dryness, and they're made of plywood basically.

The other thing that might explain it is survivor's bias - the guitars on the wall at the pub or in a mountain cabin either survive, or they crack and die. We see the ones that made it. Same thing with 200 year old parlor guitars - they are survivors.

Well if you subject your guitar to humidity fluctuations, it may well crack. Many do. My guild had a crack when I bought it, and when I moved to colorado it developed another. I have another guitar that has survived lots of changes in humidity and severe dryness without cracking. Maybe the wood was cured better, or I just got lucky.

I keep my nice martin humidified to ~47% all the time. Maybe it would survive dryness, but I don't want to take the chance. When they dry out it changes the way they play, being humidified properly helps keep the action consistent as well as protecting it against cracks.

yeah read that Caddyshack was made in florida instead of california because they didn't want the studios breathing down their necks.

that's pretty much a whole manga subgenre now

plateaued since when? if you look at the second half of the graph, 2022 forward, it looks more steep to me.

I take it 'geometric mean' is the geometric mean of 'statcounter' and 'steam'? What's the specific source of those latter two measures? For instance, when I look at linux usage on the statcounter website I get more like 1.5%, not 4%.

JC plays this one on gourd fiddle. Haven't heard this version before.

Jocelyn - feet
Michael - banjo

 

Earl White's fiddle style is instantly recognizable. Pretty sweet clawhammer banjo from Mark Olitsky too.
