  1. I'd look for the ones that say Martin on the headstock
  2. Tornado of Souls
  3. This is like me and drum programming. I eventually get flustered and start cussing and just go make some substandard beat on an actual kit to give a guide track to a real drummer.
  4. Of course he did.
  5. I actually sold the first guitar in 30 years this weekend. I have issues letting go.
  6. I'm asking Santa to make sure my wife keeps turning a blind eye to all my gear
  7. Sames
  8. Well that's never stopped me before... But this is a pretty interesting tool to be used that way man.
  9. For all of Ana's whatever, he has been pretty consistent on Israel.
  10. My Breedlove has bone pins. Everything else has plastic. Not sure I could tell the difference in sound.
  11. My vote would be "not brass"
  12. People trying to exempt themselves from reality are going to be what kills humanity, nothing else.
  13. A fairly related good read I'd recommend to anyone is Herman Pontzer's Burn.
  14. This ties back in to what I was saying earlier about UBI. I didn't have the energy to explain to seed worker that people of means can obviously spend that on other things besides food, like hookers and blow, but it would assure no one goes hungry, and stopping our subsidizing shit food has to go hard in hand with this. To be clear, I'm not saying ban Ozempic, I'm saying don't hand it out like candy to Suzie Tahoe Driver to keep her ass in proportion to her fake tits because she doesn't want to give up Margs and her fast casual restaurant du jour. It just reinforces the cycle we are currently in.
  15. It's not, because you are conflating two wholly different things. Sawbonz is totally off the reservation and doesn't even know what I'm referring to. What we have done is layered induced obesity on top of genetic. So yes there is overlap, but it's beyond "lifestyle" at this point. It's endemic to our society, and we are exporting it worldwide. I don't have time to write a whole spiel on this tonight, but I have always found you to be one of the more thoughtful guys here, I will give you the TL;DR version of what I have been saying for a very long time. We have made calories so cheap, and in forms that are so hyper absorbable, that no normal person in our society can avoid them. It takes a high level of income independence and spare time to be able to have a chance at eating remotely properly, not to mention to actually want that. The data is very clear, we didn't all of a sudden as a people have some evolution that made us gain ridiculous amounts of weight, we deliberately chose this through policy. And, I want to stress, the bigger things I'm talking about go way beyond a bunch of overweight people. We have devalued food to such an ludicrous extent that people have disassociated with the actual meaning of food, which has lead to disastrous consequences. Food is literally what give us life, it should be the most sacred part of our society (breaking bread and whatnot), yet we outright throw away enough food every year to feed several countries!!!! Why? Because it's cheap and meaningless in our culture. Giving out skinny shots is the literal last thing we should be doing for the general population. We need to make ourselves feel the true cost of food production. I literally don't think that.
  16. Because the best practice remediation is not the same. Yes.
  17. Man, I was going to point out what you are missing, but at some point it's just too wearying to wade through the blatant logical failures. Like I said before, read what I wrote and then read what you wrote, it isn't the same thing.
  18. I know thinking isn't your strong suit, but maybe ponder what I said and look at you are saying here, which isn't the same thing.
  19. No, I mean all of it. I also support things like UBI and strong social nets so I'm not talking about making anyone go hungry. But the cost of food has become so divorced from the cost of it's production it's distorted society as a whole.
  20. I mean, I've said for 20 years food should be more expensive, not less, so we are not going to agree on this.
  21. I mean, you can post here, knock yourself out. Genetic obesity is not a common malady. Lifestyle induced obesity is rampant.
