Thinking about trying out some flatwounds and wanted to hear some recommendations. I don’t really want a set that’s too dark sonically since I’m still playing rock music mostly.

I started off playing guitar for a while, but after hearing the bass line for the song Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots, I was completely mind-blown and had to learn how to play that. Never looked back!

Been wanting to pick this up for a while. Super glad these guys had a repress of this stoner/prog legendary album.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Police found no shooter and no one injured after reports of a possible active shooter in the U.S. Capitol complex on Wednesday after a possible "bad call," Washington Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Hugh Carew said.

"A call came in for an active shooter. It appears to be a bad call. No injuries and no shooter were located," Carew said.

Earlier, U.S. Capitol Police urged people inside Senate office buildings to shelter in place.

The U.S. Senate was in summer recess with most lawmakers not in Washington. However, congressional offices retain a skeleton staff on site. There also typically are dozens of workers staffing Senate cafeterias and coffee shops, security posts and working on building maintenance, as well as tourists in the Capitol.

One Senate staffer said that while the Capitol building itself was not on the highest level of lockdown, police advised all workers there to remain in their offices.

"If you are inside the Senate Buildings, everyone inside should be sheltering in place as the report was for a possible active shooter. It should be noted that we do not have any confirmed reports of gunshots," the U.S. Capitol Police said in a post on social media.

Police said they responded to an emergency call.

An advisory from the Capitol Police urged people to move inside their offices and take emergency equipment. It also asked them to silence their electronic equipment and remain quiet.

There was a heavy police presence outside the buildings, with some staffers standing outside and tourists gathered around the perimeters of the Capitol complex. Reporting by Moira Warburton, Patricia Zengerle, Kanishka Singh and Richard Cowan; Editing by Scott Malone and Doina Chiacu

I haven't used TurboTax recently, but I just received a check from my state's government saying that they've settled with Intuit over charging customers tax return services that should have been free.

This angers me greatly at how scummy TurboTax and Intuit have become over the years. For alternatives, I've been using FreeTaxUSA but I'm sure there are others that people can recommend.

Fingers crossed that the show is at least worth watching...I've been wanting new Fallout content for a while that isn't tied to Fallout 76

Honestly, who the hell actually thought this would be a good idea...

I'm a UX designer by trade and have some very basic knowledge of Python, HTML & CSS. I wanna get more involved with helping build FOSS projects, can anyone help point a development newbie in the right direction?
