I hope it was "feet cheese"...

Jose actually sent me a video of the build....

I agree. For me, the Bond franchise died out fairly quickly after YOLT. And that's actually why I appreciate Cruise's incarnation, as it is a Bond for the 21st century, without having to explain the British 60s sexist-imperialist baggage. But we did lose the core of what made the original...

Let's end on a more positive note. It is clear we are both pro LGBTQ+ and that we both feel passionately about this subject. I suspect if we were to meet over a beer, we'd probably agree on most core things - the right of individuals to live their life the way they choose being one - and may...

Where did I say that? I'll give you a clue: nowhere. I said there is a small minority. Thus your argument is a clear strawman. Hmm, maybe not directly, I'll concede, but given that a recent survey (republished by Stonewall) indicates that 24% of cis-gendered people feel uncomfortable on the...

I happen to be very familiar with both Stonewall and this report. Indeed it includes the following: "The biggest change is in attitudes to trans women in refuges, where now just 51% of the population are comfortable (compared to 61% in 2016) and 24% are uncomfortable (compared to 16% in 2016)...

Yes, having looked further into it, you are correct. I therefore retract that statement, which was made on the basis of summarised BBC reporting on the day. She has my apology. Indeed, if she has come out in support of her opponent, then she is setting the right example.

While I suspect few people will debate the coolness of cruising at 15mph down South Beach in a Ferrari, that's not primarily what it was built for. Sure, any decent 50w valve amp will make a cool (if excessive) bedroom amp for clean sounds. But frankly, unless you plan then to take it out on...

Oh dear, so many misconceptions. Let's start with the fact that I'm not talking specifically about the boxing drama which, on the face of it, appears to be a clear case of Carini using dogwhistle transphobia. Secondly, your strawman argument that I'm concerned with the style of debate or the...

It is extremely disappointing that Carini has not (to my knowledge) has not conceded that she was outclassed by a stronger woman, but my experience of "top flight" atheletes is that, all too often, a significant minority will happily play whatever card they can to reduce cognitive dissonance.

And thus it has always been, which is why we have The Agile Manifesto (nothing to do with great value Korean-built 7-strings), which has formalised this indecisiveness into a manageable project management approach.

+1. I know he has an attenuator, but to be frank, it's like buying a Ferrari and then fitting it with a rev limiter. You won't get the Ferrari experience that way, so what's the point?

You raise an interesting point here. Intonation is not just related to string gauge, but also action: the higher the action, the more compensation you need at the bridge. Given that the OP has already confessed to heavy-handedness, this may result in him having a higher-than-necessary action...

Interestingly, this guitar may well be superior to its US-built Gibson contemporaries. Nice axe - enjoy!

Spoken like a true programmer. 🙂

Agreed. Human rights come first. And to be clear, I've not only been very pro-LGBTQ+ since my youth, but have been trained in tbe issues in my role as a formal "spectrum ally" in the workplace. However, the way the debate is conducted is often bigoted on both sides. And no it's not always to do...

On the one hand, the homo/trans/queer-phobic agenda, sadly often state-sponsored (e.g. Russia); on the other hand, the small minority of understandably-frustrated LGBTQ+ who, nevertheless, resort to black-and-white absolutist assertions of rights without regard for the impact on others...

Oooooh, I forgot the final wood spec: Top: German Spruce Back and sides: Cypress Neck: Cedar Fretboard: Ebony Jose normally likes highly-figured rosewood, maple, cocobolo and other exotic woods for the back and sides, but with my brief, he allowed himself a bold straight-grained bookmatched...

Oops, duplicate message...sorry!

So your objection is....?
