The new baja lemonade was pretty good imo

As somebody who normally loved pickle-flavored snacks, yeah, those aren't great. I dig the hot mustard Doritos, though.

I love Lays dill flavored as well as their vinegar flavored but it feels like maybe dill doesn't play as well with corn as opposed to potato.

Will def grab the hot mustard if I see it.

I could see that going either way... Really good or really ass.

Unfortunately most of the latest mountain dew flavors I've noticed or what my daughter has brought home have been ass.

I bought a 12pk of dew's baja laguna lemonade and it's okay. Almost has like a hint of coconut. It was on sale for $4 otherwise I woulda passed.

Was Mountain Dew always as flat as it is now? Don't know if I'm getting Berenstain Bear'd but while it was never the most carbonated, I feel like it used to have more. Every time I try a 20 oz bottle it seems half flat. I know there's a lot of syrup but damn.

Just further proves Fountain Dew > bottles/cans

Back when I used to do the dew regularly, I wound up switching to cans cause there was too much inconsistency in carbonation between batches/ stores. I'd always wind up wasting some of it regardless cause once it gets a little warm and flat, it's gross. I still get the craving sometimes so I keep some cans on hand but it's the store brand and a lot cheaper. Blindfold taste-test, I'd never know the difference.

I'm a ginger ale supremacist except when it comes to mixers. Then it's Sprite.

Reeds "Strongest" and Extra Ginger Beers are great. There's also a local one called Harmony Springs which is cloudy and burns my throat in a good way.

I used to destroy these things. Definitely a hot weather drink, haven't found them in the states though.

Manila daylight beer?

 

[SalsaWood]

I thought they were Mexican.

I don’t know what the question is but the answer is no.

It's probably a mango, but I hope that's a grenade floating in the lava / cheeze.

These people...

Woah, a $60 loss, hopefully you'll be able to keep a roof over your head with all this money mismanagement!

hey man, that's at least one bag of drugs

Everything scales differently for people when it comes to buying guitars: a mortgage payment, car payment, weed man payment

 

[jaxadam]

Is that the Patrick Sims?

It's actually a win, since ya know, my bank is full of yen and the exchange rate has tanked since his offer. But not an important difference in the money. Just when someone is already lecturing you about what they go for and why it should be exactly what they're offering you, etc., I could have placed a bet right there that I'd get one of the pissy follow-up messages once it sold It sounds impossible, but after doing enough Reverb sales, it seems pretty easy to tell almost right away who is not worth doing business with.

Is that the Patrick Sims?

Indeed!

 

[Crungy]

Who is Patrick Sims?

Hoo boy, you don't want to know

 

[nightsprinter]

Absolutely right about the intuition of who is gonna suck to sell to on Reverb when you make enough sales. Sometimes all it takes is an introductory DM.

 

[narad]

Hoo boy, you don't want to know

When you know, you know. And what you don't know is when/if you're going to get your guitar back.

I've been wondering for awhile- do any of you have a perfect guitar? I mean one where the frets are perfectly level, neck geometry on point, great string action with no buzz, predictable neck movement throughout the year, excellent hardware and setup? just nothing you'd improve upon?

I can't seem to find one. No matter what I buy, no matter how well the setup/remediation work by me or a legit luthier is, I always find a thing or two that isn't great in the end and it grates into me until it's all I can focus on.

I feel as though it's a me problem- letting the perfect get in the way of the good or whatnot. Annoying and expensive problem.

Is this just part of GAS or what? I have a touch of mild obsessive compulsive so the lines are kinda blurred sometimes.

No. All my guitars are good enough for what I want to do with them. Some are better than the others, but all are good.

I was happy when I owned crappy guitars, and I'm happier now that I own better guitars.

And I usually forget about any minor problems, blemishes, this, that or whatever when I'm playing, so usually that's what I end up doing: I play the guitar and forget about everything else. I use the things, the things do what I want, all is good.

My Kiso H-I

Standard Horizon is very close, but there's some less-than-perfect details on it especially around the neck binding

PRS is perfect but very very fiddly and needs a full setup once a quarter to meet this criteria

The Anderson has been perfect so far, but I've only had it for 5 months so I can't comment on it long-term

In general, my guitars are the best of the best or they go back out the door
