I guess there's Chuck E Cheese too but he's not doing so hot these days.

Just as an update on the Baroque corwning file and FRTLZR spot leveler, I don't recommend either. The spot leveler doesn't quite level the fret to the two adjacent frets and the crowning file has concave surfaces with way too large a radius to put a good curve on the top of the fret. It just...

This thing is insane

And I'm somewhat intimidated by the concept of greater ducks.

Unfortunately there just isn't much out there when it comes to coated 7 string sets.

One thing robots can't do, yet anyway, is live music. That and merchandising are the only way artists can make a modicum of a living these days anyway, so I don't see more niche scenes dying out in the immediate future, because they're already niche and AI generated content isn't going to change...

One of the things that tempts me about the Helix (or its derivatives) is that you can insert pretty much anything else into its signal chain. So throw something like a Tonex One in there and bam, you have a 5153 in your Helix.

Well I didn't literally mean you could do anything, we were just talking about throwing out f-bombs.

The 30 second part was outdated info coming from 2021, when the policy was changed from allowing no profanity in the first 30 seconds of a video to allowing moderate profanity in the first 30 seconds of a video...

From their policy update as of March of last year: Effective March 7, we are making the following changes: Usage of moderate profanity at any time in the video is now eligible for green icons. Usage of stronger profanity, like the f-word in the first 7 seconds or repeatedly throughout the...

I couldn't have been more clear in my last post that what I was saying wasn't a moral or ethical pronouncement, and that it has nothing to do with what anyone "deserves". Again, just because you struggle doesn't mean you will benefit, and just because you benefit from struggle doesn't mean it...

You're confusing ought with is, and ironically imposing your own constructed moral and ethical sensibilities on nature. You're right that struggle doesn't necessarily make one stronger, but there is no way to become stronger except through struggle. There is in fact no way to achieve any goal...

You could even make an argument that on a high enough level, emotional and psychological "needs" are still functions of a process of development and evolution, and as such fulfill some kind of purpose to the aim of the perpetuation of the individual, groups of individuals, or the species as a...

I think it is objective in a teleological sense. We are biological beings with an inbuilt purpose for survival and propagation, just like any other life. If we didn't have innate needs and drives shaped by the nature of transience and mortality then we wouldn't be able to survive, let alone...

Since we're being all philosophical and stuff, I'm going to disagree with you there. Life in general is driven by struggle and we're driven by a need to overcome, otherwise there wouldn't be any need for progression or the seeking of truth or knowledge at all. Struggle confers all value because...

I listened on my monitors and I can't hear the harsh high end or scratchiness that some people have been talking about, but then again I'm probably deaf at those frequencies

I can absolutely think of situations in which it's beneficial to withhold as much information as possible from someone and not tell them anything more than what they absolutely need to know, not necessarily because you're being untrustworthy but because there isn't even an expectation of trust...

Yep, that has to be a good example of someone who felt it's best to play the algorithm game and go with what gets the most play time. I bet even he hates it though. The more creators feed into the algorithm, the more they get stuck doing one thing over and over, the more they end up getting...

Never seen that before but it seems like a good solution, and it looks pretty cool.

Really I just threw out 0.010" because I'm pretty sure that's what some manufacturers use as a default. I have feeler gauges but I don't even measure, myself. If there's any space at all between the string and the fret I'm good as long as there isn't fret buzz or anything.
