I’m in a similar situation. I have well developed social camouflage that will keep me under the radar. I’ll just continue to keep to myself.

Yup. Central Texas here. Have a 14kW solar system and 28kWh of battery backup. I haven’t touched the grid in months. Fuck these assholes.

Immediately my thought as well

Ben Shapiro. That poor dude’s wife.

Gorgeous! How does it play?

Vanilla Sky (2001) with Tom Cruise.

Absolutely awful movie. That was the only movie I’ve ever walked out on, and I’ve seen some really bad movies.

I love my Positive Grid Spark Mini. It’s become my favorite amp just from the portability aspect. The sound is surprisingly good from a tiny little box, too.

It’s like old school Reddit. I dig the feeling.

Ah, Schlitterbahn... where the blisters of 2nd degree burns on the soles of your feet from 200 degree concrete are foundational childhood memories.

Oh I totally agree with chords past 12! I’ve got sausage fingers anyway, and getting even basic triads is a chore. Up that high is single notes and double stop territory. Anything more it’s gonna be a squish.

I’ve had the 513 for a couple years. Saw the SE on Sweetwater and just had to have it. The neck is WAY different between the two. The 513 has a “pattern vintage” neck of solid rosewood and the feel in the hand is so incredible.

To me, it’s best described as the well worn feeling of a stair hand rail that’s about 40 years old and worn smooth/oiled by countless hands.

The neck on the SE is the new “pattern thin” and it feels more like my old Ibanez RG. Very flat and fast. The scale length is different, and the extra two frets on the 24 make more of a difference than I’d have thought.
