I mostly play and enjoy the sound of "classic" metal. 1980s Judas Priest. Metallica. Maiden. Etc.

What's a good amp/fx setup to reproduce this sound at modest volumes?

I have a friend with a Marshall stack, which sounds amazing but I have neither the budget or the space for something like this. I currently have a Fender amp with a Boss GT-1 effects pedal, which is quite good but no matter what I do I never quite get this to reproduce the tone I'm looking for.

Will a small Marshall combo amp like a MG30GFX work for me? Does it make sense to go for low-wattage tube amps over solid state? Thoughts?

As he alludes to, this is different on Teslas. Where in an attempt to save a few bucks on a simple sensor they're using "machine learning" to detect rain with the front-facing camera and it doesn't fucking work.

They just gotta keep up the illusion of consequences for Trump. Fines (which will never be collected). Gag orders (which will never be enforced). Bans from business and finance dealings (which will be reversed). But hey we're doing something!

Amazing to see Jon back. I watched The Daily Show with Jon Stewart obsessively for years, and never thought to see this again. He's still got it. Just a few more white hairs.

Sigh. Not this again. Look, I personally really don't like the Cybertruck. I think it's ugly and pointless. But as someone who likes EVs in general I have to call out the usual "the range is so bad lol" BS.

The two drivers who are using the EV said that the maximum range with a full battery was 206 miles and 164 miles with an 80% state of charge.

The range you get when not fully charging the battery is meaningless. It's like partially fueling an ICE and complaining it doesn't deliver the maximum range. Good for a clickbait headline though.

That test was done at a relatively constant speed of 70 miles per hour while the outside temperature was about 45 degrees. The truck was driven fairly aggressively most of the time

Driving aggressively, at high speed, in relatively cold weather is the perfect trifecta to make any EV underdeliver in range. Those are real downsides of EVs (and weather and speed are factors with ICE cars, just more so for EVs) but it's nothing new or specific to this vehicle. And it is not the scenario the EPA uses to come up with range numbers. Perhaps they should, but they don't.

Perhaps he ought to address the overt corruption in his own court before worrying about literally anything else

No, they get it. And that is so much worse.

Got any fried chicken?

Best damn chicken in the state.

Bring me four fried chickens, and a Coke.

You want chicken wings or chicken legs?

Four fried chickens. And a Coke.

American cops worried about their reputation. Cheeky.

Blocking promotions of critical military roles over an unrelated social issue. Really. Why are there so many examples of how today's Republicans would rather burn the country to the ground than concede anything to representatives for roughly the half of the population..

Each rotation of the first turbine’s 107-metre-long blades can produce enough clean energy to power an average home for two days.

I've never read this sort of description of the amount of energy things produce before. That's very cool.
