  1. Or find 5 all americas on o-line that will block perfectly 100% of the time. Which isn’t to say there isn’t some shit to figure out with the O-line, too.
  2. The offense had first and goal from the one yard line to tie the game with about a minute left. We managed to turn that into a 14 point loss. All year, we found stupefying ways to keep lesser teams around for closer-than-necessary wins. Its not surprising that our season ultimately ended by finding a stupefying way to lose to a team of roughly equal talent and ability. Sark is our guy and I appreciate the much he has done right, but the dude has got some shit to figure out on offense.
  3. Well probably have some idea based on next year.
  4. dunno if posted, but there may be some financial incentives to commit arson. As the Palisades fire tore through parts of the Los Angeles area on Wednesday, Polymarket — the prediction-market platform — allowed people to place wagers on certain elements of the disaster. There were at least nine predictions you could place money on as of Wednesday afternoon that were related to the fire. The topic had its own trending module on the site. One question asked: "Will the Palisades fire be contained by Friday?" Betters gave it only a 2% chance of happening. (Officials said on Wednesday morning that the fires raging through California were 0% contained. Two people have been reported dead in the wake of the disaster.) more at: https://www.businessinsider.com/polymarket-takes-bets-palisades-california-wildfire-2025-1
  5. He sure doused the top of that absent of any fire ridge.
  6. That's interesting and all, but we're all really waiting on the opinion of @Incredulity.
  7. I'll buy a walnut hollow body Gibson when MrFuck buys a generic Strat Sounds great!
  8. Rejected. Your Mr Perky would fit snuggly into that little fold of elbow flesh.
  9. Whatever you think of JoeB as a musician or songwriter, he is a responsible steward for a shit ton of historically significant guitar Americana. Hope he keeps it all safe. I guess have to also wonder about Norman's Rare Guitars and all his warehouse stashes, too.
  10. Yeah, some of the others are nice for cleaning up mud, but you can achieve that in other ways in a mix. And I guess position 2 and 3 can give you a scooped mids sound. I can't remember what they were when I played my brother's but there were a couple of settings beyond position 1 that sounded situationally decent.
  11. Introduced by Gibson in 1959, the Varitone 6-way tone control is a circuit that acts as a notch filter, reducing frequencies at set points along the frequency spectrum. Filtering is achieved by passing the signal through capacitors that effectively remove or reduce specific frequencies. As the Varitone knob is rotated from positions 1 to 6, the center frequency of the filter shifts from high frequencies to lower frequencies, producing unique tones at each setting. Probably the most notable use of a Varitone circuit in an electric guitar is B.B. King’s Lucille. An example of the various settings and the tonal effect of a Varitone circuit: Position 1: Bypass (no effect) Position 2: -8.5dB at 1875Hz (or 1.875kHz ) Position 3: -12dB at 1090 Hz (1.090 kHz) Position 4: -15dB at 650 Hz Position 5: -16dB at 350 Hz Position 6: -20dB at 130 Hz The specific frequencies impacted by the Varitone will be dependent on the values of capacitors used.
  12. Drool and congrats. My brother has a nice ES-345 that he loves and I covet. I'll be curious what you think of the vari-tone knob.
  13. The Daily Texan "On what subject should you be considered Surly's resident expert?" thread got me thinking about our local guitar/music experts. On what subject are the posters here experts at? I'll toss out a few nominations. @Deej for his Rainman-eque skill at pickguard screw accounting @AnotherUTFan for his "WWLD" (What Would Lemmy Do) ethos @noharleyyet for knowledge of "Joe Bonamassa's Greatest Hits" @Chad Fuck for how to be the worst GAS Anonymous sponsor in the world I realize I am opening myself up to a counter offensive here...
  14. I am sorry, man. I am glad it looks like your house is going to be ok. Here's to you and your neighbors rallying around each other to rebuild the community.
  15. We are in Colorado, but all the same "concerns" for insurers here. We were dropped by Geico earlier this year due to wildfire risk even without any wildfires affecting our direct area since we moved here 5 years ago. The only overlap we have with areas that have been affected are "mountains" and "Colorado". We were able to obtain other coverage, but I can imagine insurability is a problem that is only going to get worse for areas like California, Colorado and Florida. These LA fires are going to cost insurance companies billions in claims. I am happy to read that our known resident Californians are all safe. I hope yall's homes are ok.
  16. I’m getting too old for that shit.
  17. No. Get what inspires you to play.
  18. So there are legitimate security concerns there voiced before recently?
