There is a species of mosquito that is a prolific pollinator, one of them for blueberries.

Because then we will have a few years of being able to sit outside in peace before going outside and melting.

The people in those countries must not have data worth harvesting.

Somewhat agree.

I don’t mind DLCs that add additional content to the game. Elden Ring comes to mind. Dragon Age Origins did this as well.

But like Starfield where the DLC was supposed to be part of the actual game and they cut it to sell it later? Nope. Not interested.

“But we worked so hard in this!”

Sorry, you aren’t a cute grade school kid, you are a goddamn adult. I will happily encourage a small child to keep drawing stick figure dinosaurs that are indistinguishable from a melted candle.

When an adult makes a game far worse than what we had during the PS3 era with worse writing than an NES game, fuck out of here. We don’t owe you shit, not buying your garbage.

It goes back to Steve Jobs talking about how engineers and programmers losing positions of power in companies and being replaced with worthless MBA people.

They cannot add any value to a product, ever. All they do is make things worse for short term gain. They are all taught the Jack Welch style of management which does nothing but destroy a company. It makes no sense why it’s tolerated.

That looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome. Thank you.

Do you know the brand? Sounds like my next winter project.

I want to make one with normal pickups - Out1 and add a piezo bridge with a three way switch for an Out2. Some of the sounds people are getting by blending the two are incredible.

Did you find any useful guides online or on YouTube for getting started? I have a decent set of tools, but this would be a new endeavor for me.

Well aware this would be a “me” guitar and not something that would have much of a value to anyone else. Some people seem to think they are building their own K-Line guitar.

Did you like building your own? I have a used PRS SE 24, which I got for a steal due to paint scuffs, but thought about building my own.

I knew on your first sentence you were talking about FF7. Had to borrow a friend’s third disk.

This is where guitars are right now.

Both Fender and Gibson are now owned by venture capitalists. Their quality of everything, from strings to picks to guitars, has plummeted across every brand they own in the last five years. It’s sad really.

You go on Reddit and people talk about the models and which one is great for this, or why they prefer it for that, but then you find some deeper dives into more recent spaces and people who know what they are talking about have moved away entirely from both brands.

If anyone is curious, you can buy a better guitar from Harley-Benton, Cort, or Jet than from Fender/Gibson and it will be 1/2 to 1/4 the cost.

NGL, I am pretty tired and have my glasses off, thought he was holding a sword and shield and thought this was pretty cool.

Liam Neeson is also like Samual L Jackson.

I don’t give a shit was race the character was originally, the character is about to be transformed into a next level badass.

The original actress/singer for Ariel absolutely dominated that role as well, and really the whole cast was damn near perfect. It’s one of the few Disney Princess movies that should have been left alone.

Ugh…but I have to press a button to make it work.

Honestly, my dream robot is Rosie from Jetsons. Sure, make fun of me all the time, but also kept the place clean. Works for me.

It’s because of societal issues. Women’s sex toys are glamorized and “fun” to talk about, but men’s sex toys are characterized as gross and incel.

Your relationship won’t be the issue. It will be the millions of high school boys who grow up with this experience rather than attempt dating. And why would they date? That person has problems, isn’t “on” 100% of the time. For a young man they can get everything they think they need from an AI wankfest.

A lot of it has to do with options. Not good or bad, but options.

You go into a store and want to buy milk, and instead of there being the local milk selections there is now 50,000 different choices. So we always seem to hold out for that more ideal option and never really select one.

This might be where modern dating is going. Fight Club talked about the single serving friend. Tinder style dating has turned us into single serving partner.
