    @Doctor-Phibes said in Gibson guitar question: @Rainman said in Gibson guitar question: Somewhat off-topic, but related. If you store a guitar for years, should you loosen the strings so there is not continuous tension on the neck? We've got an hmmm, not sure but it was expensive when I bought it for my daughter. Stuffed in a closet somewhere around here. I think you should loosen the strings a little - maybe 1 or 2 half-steps. You don't want to remove all the tension. Thanks, Phibes. I need to see if I can find it. Decrease tension by a whole step each string. Got it, thanks again.

    Thanks for the PSA, Larry, though the whole time I was reading it I was sure it was leading to a punny lunch line,

    Different defaults (resolution etc.) associated to the "Scan to email" option maybe?

    I don’t really believe that the school-to-boring-middle-class-job highway appeals to any meaningful segment of leftward voters. But that is in fact the quantifiable privilege of the white folk.

    @Mik said in Quickbooks?: If this is too much feature functionality for her church they might consider just using Excel. There are a lot of free templates out there for churches and nonprofits. Really? I'll look into those.

    You know, for being a fake/rendered video, they really didn't need the "whip pan" video angle. Should've just had a static angle.

    If the pols want to help the hospitals, start by reviewing the stacks of rules they operate under. Hospitals are very top heavy, when it comes to administration. Administration that shuffles a lot of unnecessary paper...

    If this has happened like it was presented in the tweet, then there are no words. The guy who did this is presumably beyond repair and should spend most of his life in jail. These days, however, you have to be very careful. I wonder, for instance, if that is really a homeless person. Sure, it could be a person in a sleeping bag, but it could also be something completely different.

    Ax, have you found that some rallies are better than others? Also need to point out that the babylonbee is not an authoritative Leftist site, so keep in mind that you don't have to attend. You could get a note from MomAx, MomAx will set you free.

    @Klaus said in Moonlight feels right?: That guy is a weirdo. For years he has made videos that somehow all kinds of pieces must be played at half tempo. His arguments are BS if you ask me. Maybe it's his way of coping with the fact that he can't play them quickly.

    If his crack team can figure out how to have less funerals he can probably bring down the death rate, too. And when I say 'crack team', I am in no way implying that is what they're smoking, or indeed that they're in the middle of two large groups of people governed by a giant arsehole.
