The Guitar Pron Thread
Yeah. Goldtops rule. I had a 1991 Hall of Fame edition All-Gold Deluxe. It was a hell of a guitar. I thought the neck was cracked and traded it for a 1973 Deluxe Reverb (no regurts). But I now think it was just some checking on the neck (it was gold-back as well. Basically among the first "Custom Shop" models (and I paid 90s pricing). So now I have a 2014 LP Traditional, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's a 10=pounder that feels like 7 and has some of the best pickups I've heard on anything. So if you only can have one, take the one that feels and sounds best, I guess. Or both, even if you can't afford it.

Not sure of veracity, but I was watching some weather-youtube channels to see if my house was going to Oz tonight, and I heard something along the lines of "we can't guarantee the accuracy of this information because this service uses Starlink and the storm basically is blocking out the signal." The internet we deserve.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Related: bankruptcy lawyers would seem poised to make some coin in Elmo's America, except most people probably won't be able to afford to file bankruptcy.

Yeah, but we're all high-minded, Constitutional-law experts. We'd be lost in a straightforward PI case against a robot car and its in'cel master.

Check out these fucking chips
It's more of a mission statement for crackers, if I'm honest, but if they would make slightly-burnt Wheat Thins as a stand-alone thing, I would buy it a lot. Now I'm wondering how much Wheat Thins could benefit from a few minutes in the air fryer. Hmm

Tina Fey's mom, tripping balls and vibing with Jerry at the 47 minute mark or so, is great.

Ladies and Gentlemen.....THE ROLLING STONES!!
And had a miscarriage. Sorry for the bummer tot the story. But, since I have not personal connection to the people involved, but do to the song, what a fucking performance! Next to nearly nothing like it in rock music. But then again, it came during the 1968--1972 Stones era. What a great few decades of music we got, and I hope to hell we get something close again. It's out there. /hopeful, old man

Best opening lyrics of all time
I kind of feel like the top ten spots should just be ceded to the Rolling Stones.

The Nachobursts look amazing (looking and from a components standpoint). I'm sticking with my 2014 LP Traditional. Best pickups ever. But damn, that's sexy.

Still on my visit to 1983. This second set is nuts. Jerry and Brent are locked in together on this one.

I know we've been instructed by Immamac to do no "harm or mayhem" wish-casting, which I understand on a practical level, and by which I will abide. But, it's okay to hope out-loud that he, in fact, shits his pants in public every day, right? And I'm talking about Elmo, because I'm pretty sure my wish has come true on another front.

It's Houston. So it's very unlikely they're walking anywhere. Head to Truth. Guy is coming all the way from North Carolina. What's another five miles to him? And yes, rent a car. Houston's fabled, mass-transit system, upon which Japan's allegedly is based, has that weekend off.

WTF! Eating Freshwater fish equal to drinking a month's worth of water laced with PFOS
I have two cast iron (I'll send one to college with my older son next year), and four carbon steel pans (two omelette pans). I'm meticulous about caring for them, but I don't obsess about how the season looks. I don't shy away from soap and water (Clean your pans, people!). But the most important thing I learned is to scrub them smooth no matter what. The biggest mistake people make is confusing carbon build-up with seasoning and blaming sticking on seasoning alone rather than considering the effect of temperature control on the equation.

Pff. We get blamed for everything.

Sometimes it takes quite a bit of salt in my experience, but it definitely works well. The chain mail is just really good at getting the stuck on foods and keeping things from building up. The salt is good for getting a little deeper when there's carbon build up a lot of people mistake for seasoning. One reason those antique cast iron pans are so smooth is that they used to use finer sand to cast them or polished them more to finish. I love my Lodge, but I eventually took an orbital sander to it to smooth it out. From there, I built the seasoning back up and it's nice and smooth like one of the old ones ever since then.

Surly Sausages
From what I've read, the manual stuffer is the way to go though. My grinder will do it, and I got a cheap foot switch to control things. So I'll probably try that first since I have it. But looking down the road, the manual route may be the way.

I would definitely try that! And now I also want to figure out how to make Knip.

Yes, I actually have a relevant story about this scene playing in the background with another person who was, thenceforth, referred to as "The Natural."

It's directly, albeit with some wiggle room to make it a series and bring it ahead forty years, based on the 1981 movie of the same name written and directed by Alan Alda (hence, his cameo in the series). The movie is an absolute gem, and I'm enjoying the series quite a bit. Reading all the comments on the last page, it looks like no one has seen the movie. In the current iteration, I think Tina Fey's, Steve Carrel's, and Erika Henningsen's performances give pretty solid nods to Carol Burnett's, Len Cariou's, and Bess Armstrong's respective performances in the original film. The rest of the cast in the series is good, but the chemistry between them doesn't hold a candle to the chemistry between the characters, both as couples and as friends, in the movie. But if you find the story relatable, you really should check out the original. - Netflix Recommendations
