  1. Thats where the "failing" to certify comes in.
  2. Havent Iran backed proxies killed Americans lately? Lol at Gary Johnson comparisons. I personally didnt disqualify him for Aleppo, i disqualified him for being a lolatarian.
  3. Congressman Maxwell Frost on my tv in front of a huge rack of records, a ukele, Charlie Parker poster and 3 synthesizers. The kids are alright.
  4. One theory i read on bluesky was that he plans to steal election by throwing it to the House of Reps and so he needs swing house districts
  5. Apparently poot confirmed the covid test thing but denied the 7 contacts.
  6. This got push alert from Wapo..... What do they always say, America first? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/08/bob-woodward-new-book-war-trump-putin-biden/
  7. I remember the Democrats saved him b/c we needed him to govern. Sounds like it's go time and he's standing still.
  8. I am not sure if this is indicating anything but i just got canvassed for the first time ever, ive lived in very Democratic areas for almost 30 years. He was collecting information on if and how we intended to vote, and answering any questions about voting logistics i had. My guess is it was for resource allocation. I think he was with the DNC but seemed particularly focused on Slotkin. Good stuff, love to see it.
  9. Seems like a good business plan to not insure tool sheds as if they were vehicles.
  10. So leader of Trump super pac Leon Musk openly campaigning with the candidate seems illegal ish but laws dont matter.
  11. My $.02 is you cant practice them too much. If you think you know then its time to practice them a different way
  12. Im working on triads too right now and it def helps get around the fretboard and follow the chord changes with the solo as opposed to staying in the same key.
  13. Actually ROMAD I do have an additional opinion about beginner level guitars, the beginner level ones from Gretsch (which is now made by Fender as well) are a super great value. A lot of their models are old-timey looking but if she likes them or there's one that's not old timey it could be a great way to go.
  14. Clearly due to the Democrats rhetoric
  15. This is the single most important thing I've ever learned on guitar. I'd guestimate that 80% of sick guitar solos leverage this:
  16. I've got about 30-some years into the instrument now too..... and I've long thought if I had to do it over again I woulda/shoulda played piano/keys. That said, if it's too late to call the audible.... Folks are right about lessons. I didn't have any lessons until about 2 years ago, and they were extremely helpful. But there are different kinds of lessons..... Some folks teach songs, and even take requests.... like you have a fav song and they'll figure it out and teach it to you. This can be good b/c it can be motivating to learn songs that you love and show off to your friends, but there's a limit to it. I think some sort of hybrid where they have songs and also teach scales, arpeggios, and CAGED would be the gold standard. Or maybe teach the songs in the context of scales, arps and CAGED so you can generalize what you're learning to other things. That was what lessons did for me, he tied all of the scales and CAGED and whatnot together for me. When I called him to set up lessons, he asked me how long I was playing and I said over 25 years and was was like.... You Should be teaching.... and I said... yeah no **** that's why I'm calling you right now. Don't forget to budget for an amp as well. Positive Grid Spark has some pretty cool lil amps that are super versatile and seem great for beginners. I'm a hard core guitar snob cork sniffer as Biff calls them (very fairly) so I'm not too informed on what's a good beginner value but I think Squire is as good as any for that purpose.
  17. I thought JV Dance was a pretty good debater, and Coach Walz wasnt as good. However I read somewhere, maybe here, a take that Walz's best 3 answers were better than Vances best 3 answers and i agree with that. Vances j6 turdpile should be disqualifying.
  18. My hope is the agreeing thing works for people who arent as combative about politics as me. But i agree about the agreeing. His new best answer was J6.
  19. Walz killed him there.
  20. Walz is much stronger on domestic issues. Vance creates ways to blame everything on Vice President Harris.
  21. Another good sign in the neighborhood....
  22. Got a WP push alert that Slump is going to meet with Zelensky. RIP Logan Act. We hardly knew thee.
  23. Nate is wrong but not for the obvious reason. Indictments are a pre-req for the REPUBLICAN nomination, not the Democratic.
