  1. Nah Im always in the 40's. Its lag, but, not the normal lag one would experience with server or node issues. Mine is more a control issue.
  2. Sorry for your loss. Prayers coming your way.
  3. I have noticed my mouse is kind of jerky and some lag lately. I've tried other settings too and its the same. Who knows. Maybe the weather . I may update my drivers and see if it helps.
  4. Here is my daily driver. 1991 Nissan 300Z Twin Turbo. Many engine mods, but kept the look pretty much stock. So much fun to drive !! Wife doesn't like it because it melts her face when I get on it (g-force). My garage is a mess !!!
  5. In the future, fusion can be the answer to interplanetary travel too. Good stuff.
  6. Fusion has always been the best answer to our energy problems. Unlimited energy, zero emissions !!! Well it seems there has been a big breakthrough in this area. I doubt I will ever see it come to fruition in my lifetime, but maybe my gkids will. Interesting stuff. https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/us-scientists-make-major-breakthrough-limitless-zero-carbon-fusion-energy-report
  7. Triplets !!! I love me a nice Fender !! Never have any issues with Fender (unlike Gibson). Sorry StormCrow. I've had many Gibson's in the past and all had tuning stability issues and other problems. Mechanically nothing I couldn't fix with a proper setup or replacement parts. But the nitro finish they use is problematic. Especially during the late 80's and 90's. But Gibson's do hold their resale value. Hopefully one day I will come across a nice Les Paul that I like. I did have a early 80's wine red Les Paul Classic that I liked a lot. That one stayed in tune !! Plus the finish was fantastic. Sold it. Had a Les Paul Walnut too (80's) that played real nice. That guitar looked like shit, but was all original and played like a champ. Sold it to. I have been on a G&L kick lately. They make very nice guitars.
  8. Is it a wrap or airbrushed ? I've wondered if wraps would stick to guitar bodies. Guess I could "google" it
  9. Never too late to start !!!
  10. I love to see that !!! I just built a copy of the Gibson Corvus model and installed a Fishman pickup in it. Those pickups are different. Not a traditional copper wound pickup. Very high gain. More gain than EMG 81's !! But also have a nice clean tone also when the volume is dialed back. I put a Fender Tele style neck on it. Love the neck. So its a Fender Gibson inspired hybrid !! I planning on buying a CNC router to do my own necks and too speed up body fabrication. Laid everything out by hand on this one and used power hand tools. Took a while. But the results are outstanding. As far as other weird guitars. I never owned a Dean Guitar and came across this Dean, Michael Shenker Strangers in the Night model years ago. These I believe came out in 2012 ? The bridge pickup on this model is the "Lights Out" pickup. Very nice passive pickup. I've played it handful of times (still minty fresh). It mostly hangs on the wall Not an expensive guitar by any means. But it is extremely well made and plays great.
  11. Hope you got it back !!! But then again it is a Gibson. Sorry, I've owned well over 20 Gibson's and have only found 2 keepers. Quality is all over the place with Gibson. I still have a Gibson Corvus II and a 2007 SG (GOTW) with three single coils and a chicken head pickup switch. Both are hard to find and play great. The Corvus was produced from 80-83 if I remember right. So ugly it didn't sell well. Was suppose to be a headless guitar, but Gibson changed their minds and put a headstock on it. Crazy. But get yours back !!! Dont lend shit out !!!
  12. I always pick seats behind the mixing console when going to concerts. Best place for listening. Well, unless the sound man sucks. Been to a few of those. Went and saw Weezer years back and the opening band was Motion City Soundtrack and wow the mix was horrible !!! Thank goodness when Weezer came on the sound guy got his shit together.
  13. Shoot the fuckers !!!!! Eat em all up !!! Damn car killers !!! I have a couple nesting behind my garage and want to take them out !!! But wifey likes them. We raised a deer back in the 90's. Lived under our kids swing set. It played with our kids and followed me around when I mowed. So naturally the wife thinks its one of its offspring.
  14. 72 degrees one day and snow on the ground the next day !!! Hate this time of year.
  15. Here is a maggot encrusted steak I did the other day !!! Yum yum !!!!
  16. The "bt" sound would be a hell of a tongue twister to pronounce !! In todays world even though banks and credit unions are federally insured, what happens when both fail !!!! Your fucked !!! In that situation we will rely on the "Barter" system. Real Estate, precious metals, and of course other tangible items of need will be used. Gold Standard here we come !!! Real Estate (especially farm land) is being bought around here by large corporations and Investment firms at a much higher rate than in the past.
  17. Pete's Alive !!!! Hey where are my rocks from overseas ????? You forgot !!! Man I had a very nice piece of Beatles memorabilia was going to send you for grabbing them !! I thought you loved me man !!??
  18. Lets not forget the loony lefty who shot Steve Scalise. And the loony lefties in congress who told their continuants to harass Republicans in public. Shows you how classy they REALLY are.
  19. I do not have a Twitter or Facebook account either Sammy. Both are the Devils' Playground !!! Time and time again Twitter and Facebook have shown their political bias. So I think the Musk take over is very good. Let everyone speak, no matter what your affiliation.
  20. I quit riding back around 2005. Traded a Suzuki GSXR750 for a Z car. Too many distracted drivers now a days to feel safe on a bike. Fuckin cell phones !!!! But my current Z is just as fast and I have some protection.
  21. Scanners are getting cheap. And most auto parts stores will run "fault codes" for you. Many sensors are easily replaced. And YouTube video's abound on fixing specific vehicle issues. We developed a bad rocker tick in our 2014 Chrysler Minivan and my wife said lets just buy a new one. I told her thats crazy !! The van is in excellent shape and there is zero oil usage. So I bought a set of rockers for less than $100 and fixed it. Took a few hours in labor, but its back to normal. Even if I had to replace the motor, I would. Cheaper than junking it and buying another.
  22. In my 44 years of driving I have only purchased two new vehicles. We buy 2 to 3 year old vehicles. Let someone else take the depreciation hit. As far as repairs I do them myself when I can. I put in a car lift a few years back and it didn't take long to pay for itself in labor savings. But I drive them till they fall apart from the rust !!
