Oh no, its illegal to use the military for domestic police work? Deploying the National Guard would be a "faux pas"?
Well, I'm sure that will stop him for sure!

NGD: Yamaha Revstar Element
(i.imgur.com)
This thing punches waaaaay above its weight class in terms of price to playability. It is actually stupid how much better it is than my LP. Neck heel is beautiful, completely open access to the upper frets. A nice, chunky, matte neck, too.
It also has a coil-tap-but-not-coil-tap on the tone knob push pull that gives a little more bite and chime single coil character but with minimal output loss.
Another thing I really appreciate is that Yamaha took the time to wire the pots correctly so when I turn them "forward" (counterclockwise), the volume goes up. Some other, bigger companies do not always take the time to do this.
All in all, a solid guitar for a great price. Highly recommend giving it a look if you are in the market for a versatile HH guitar.
I used to work for a company that had the right idea. We brought our work trucks home, and our work day started when we turned the key, and ended when we got home.
Had to be at a job for 8 and it was an hour away? You were paid for that. Only had a job 5 minutes away? Enjoy the extra sleep in time and the short commute home.
Now, this is way different than an office job that is stationary, but there is definitely a conversation to be had about it. If nothing else, it may have more companies going back to taking WFH seriously again instead of needlesslt forcing people back into office spaces in order to prop up the commercial real estate sector.
Remember when we used to never hear about school board meetings because they were dry, boring school board meetings?
Yeah, I want to go back to that.
He was right.
The years start coming, and they simply do not stop coming.

NPD: Yamaha CH100 and Danelectro Chicken Salad.
(lemmy.world)
Finally found a Danelectro Chicken Salad for a resonable price (ie pre-JHS hype prices). Definitely a good Vibe circuit, but the casing is fragile. Do not fall for the hype and buy one over $100. At that price, you could get a BBE Soulvibe, which is just as good IMO, and has a sturdier case.
The Yamaha CH100 Stereo chorus was a neat find. Very much a thick, lush, 80s style stereo chorus. The manual and width knobs are pretty interactive making for some very cool sounds. Absolutelty S P A C I O U S in S T E R E O.
Don't look up
Its too bad that its so hard to find a man aged 18-35 who is willing to show us his Rick and Morty impression at the drop of a hat.
Imagine doing over a decade of schooling and training, spending thousands of dollars to become a platic surgeon, making really, really good money and generally be respected by most people.
Imagine that not being enough and you throw it all away in an attempt at being a fucking tiktok star.

the little bike that can't die... My 1982 Suzuki GS400L
(lemmy.world)
I bought this bike six years ago as my first bike, and it only had ~22,000kms on it, not bad for a 35 year old (at the time) bike.
Its been my bike that I have learned on, not just rising, but hard lessons in general. Some of these include:
- Do not tarp your bike as soon as you are done riding, the tarp will melt on the exhaust pipes.
- Check your clutch cable regularly to see if its wearing out so it doesn't snap on you in the middle of traffic (and also the day before your road test).
- It is very hard to find a clutch cable on short notice on a Saturday evening.
- Oil changes require a crush washer, or you will leak oil. A lot of oil.
- On that note, it is recommended that oil changes take place a little more frequently than once every five years.
- You should bring your bike in for a tire change while the tires can still hold air for longer than 2 hours.
- Bring your battery inside in the winter so water inside doesn't freeze, and you wont have to boost your battery every 2 weeks.
- Also read the battery instructions carefully and don't overfill it, causing the battery juice to leak out onto your pipes and rusting them up.
Despite all my lack of awareness in maintenance and general care, this this is still going strong. So far all I've had to replace is the clutch cable (mentioned above), a headlamp, and a fuse. It is a testament to how well these old UJM bikes were built that its still running despite my less than regular maintenance schedule.

Just imagine if instead of millitary service, it was compulsary public service that actually benefitted society. Nursing, construction/infrastructure, farming, teaching/childcare, etc.
Its astrounding how much money is pumped into the military industrial complex when it could be used to fund to many other programs for public good.
But that would be sOciALiSm.
