    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    I'd love that to happen. Maybe I've grown too cynical from old age, but I just think it's a necessary prerequisite to be a liar and a swindler in order to become president. Like, if you want to climb to the top, you have to step on everyone else.

    Why are you mad right now?

    Yes in the sticks, but no wetland here. We do have a tree on the property that was declared a protected tree. That one is near the road, though, and is still there. 99% of my property is on a sharp incline. No power lines go over the cut trees, nor near them. The trees that were cut had no...

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    The whole third party getting absorbed is probably a natural thing for the reasons you explained here. But it hasn't really happened in the past couple decades. The green party hasn't been absorbed into the democratic party, the libertarian party hasn't been absorbed into the republican party...

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    I agree 100%. However.... How on earth can that be enforced if the parties don't care? ...and the people will never reach a point where they care enough to give a third party more than 15% of the vote?

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    Oh, I'm with you. On my local election scorecard, incumbency is minus two points. But, at the federal level, I had been voting third party for decades, with two exceptions: Obama (2008) and Biden. I didn't like Biden, but he's a hell of a lot less destructive than Trump. Either way, though...

    Even most third party presidential candidates are compulsive liars. So who or what do you recommend?

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    Obama: first thing I will do, if I'm elected, will be to shut down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. USA: OK, you win. Please shut it down. Obama: Oh, well, uhhh, I can't... there is no place to put the detainees. USA: Maybe just let them go or charge them? Obama: no can do.

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    I'm going to legally change my name to "None Ofthese Candidates." Might want to start being nice to me before January. Seriously, though, what are the odds that both Trump and Biden will even be alive 4.5 years from now? Democracy is done for. Think about it: two possible outcomes- 1. Biden...

    Why are you mad right now?

    Varied. Most are stumps. I tried to attach a photo showing one of them. Some of the trees were smallish maples, there was one big apple tree, all were there when we moved in 15 years ago. I'm still waiting for a call back from them explaining what the fuck. With where they are located, it...

    Why are you mad right now?

    My neighbour cut down 5 of my trees. I could see if it was in the middle of cutting their own trees, but a) they cut zero of their own trees, b) none of the trees were near their property, and c) none of the trees posed them any inconvenience. Not sure what my next step is, but, without any...

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    Being the westernmost state that could be called "Great Lakes Region," and the fact that probably nearly everyone would agree that Midwest overlaps the Great Lakes... or how if you look up Minnesota on wikipedia, the very first sentence is about how it is in the midwest... yeah, IDK.

    If MN is not in the midwest, where is it?!

    Leo Jaymz Kit Experiment

    That's awesome! I reached out to a few luhiers about doing interchangeable fretboard, but it seems like everyone is super busy right now. I have a couple of Tolgahan's "fretlets," but I have trouble getting them to stay put.

    Leo Jaymz Kit Experiment

    I almost considered an Eart after seeing some good reviews, but then I saw some bad reviews. My trouble with NK is that I can hardly find anything about them. The used ones seem to list for as much or more than new ones- I'm guessing new ones cost a lot to ship and import or something, maybe...

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    I believe Obama would have done better. I believe Clinton would have done better, hell, I mostly expect Reagan or Bush #1 would have done marginally better. As for a realistic solution, there's nothing anyone as pion-level as us can do. I spent my 20's screaming from every mountaintop about...

    Super cheap DIY baritone

    After a few months: 1. The guitar neck is fantastic for the money. I play this thing live as a drop C side guitar and it sounds and plays great. The one season change it went through, it has moved no more than any traditionally constructed high end guitar. 2. The only part that I'm not super...

    I know you mean well by saying this, and I appreciate that. However, I strongly believe you are being overly naive with this statement. If you care not to hear why I think so, please stop reading here.... Forget about comparing him to Trump for a minute. The infrastructure spending passed...

    Do you play rock/metal rhythm with reverb always on?

    Reverb is for surf music. Delay is for leads. Modern rock/metal tone for rhythm is generally quite dry. Prior to 1994, that wasn't the case. YMMV.

    US Political Discussion: Biden/Harris Edition (Rules in OP)

    There's also the without labels thing that is very likely going to serve to pull a small portion of democrats away from Biden. Don't get me wrong. To me, Biden is a shitshow. I've actually never voted for a republican presidential candidate, but, in principle, I totally would. I liked John...

    Talk me out of buying Agile headless seven.

    I prefer the look of the geodesic. It doesn't have a disappointing headstump. But I've never seen a 27-30" one.
