Tough to choose. I play bass in 3 bands so if I'm gigging I just want a decent 5-string bass. But if I'm not gigging it would be my 6-string acoustic guitar because I play that around the house and for campfire jams. Solo bass sucks.

Most of my favourite Fleetwood Mac songs were Christine McVie compositions.

I don't get very excited but I am one of the few that still likes a desktop. It's connected to my 65" 4K TV which I use as a monitor. Text is easy to read and YouTube and videos are a good size. I have a cordless mouse and keyboard and use the computer from the comfort of my recliner.

I can relate. I used to carry a 98 pound Garnet bass amp around. It was only 100 watts. Now I can load in and out in one trip...Markbass combo and extension cab at about 25 pounds each and my bass in a gig bag on my back. I don't even need the extension cab most times but take it anyway.

At least he replied. I bet if you wrote to your local school board and asked them if they'd adjust their hours to make it safer for the kids if DST becomes permanent you wouldn't even get a reply.

While 10 is usually an easier number to work with, 24 hour days make sense in such that it's easier to split the day into 3 segments for businesses and operations that require 24/7 service. 3x 8 = 24. Easy. 10 days would have shift changes part way through an hour.

Why can't they change the school hours to avoid that problem?

One of my guitarist friends does that all the time. I go over there and he'll play me a mostly completed song that he pieced together. He's not a bass player so he'll usually get me to redo the bass part, either sticking close to what he came up with (he's good at coming up with bass riffs), or he'll ask me to create my own part if he doesn't like the line he came up with.

I used to think that speaker break in was a sales tactic to encourage people to keep them for a while, the assumption being that after a period of time your ears would get used to them, they would become the new normal, and you'd be far less likely or willing to return them. Not really different than 30-day mattress guarantees. I really don't know the science so I could be wrong. But if speakers do break in, do they always sound better? Do speakers ever break in and sound worse?

I'm primarily a bass player. I used to not like keyboard bass (HEY, get a real bass player!!) but as I became better I started to appreciate some of the keyboard bass lines I heard as often different note choices were made because they weren't always following many of the "standard" bass patterns that bass players tend to use. That being said, Anderton nailed it: "I don't think you can replace a bass player. You have to become a bass player, regardless of the instrument on which you play bass."

I agree. Where people differ is that some think that every mistake made by the experts was just a mistake and others think that some "mistakes" were deliberate misinformation. Remember, Fauci lied under oath. We were told that the vaccine would be 100% effective. We were told that one shot would be enough. We were told that getting the vaccine meant that you couldn't catch Covid or spread it. We were told that masks worked. Are we to believe that the above 4 statements were just mistakes and then "new" information came out? Really? The people who told us those things reached far more people than Rogan and for a far longer period of time than just one podcast. Those statements were all accepted fact a year ago and anyone who said different was accused of misinformation. I'm really not trying to argue, but we've been mislead repeatedly by the experts. Is it any wonder that some people are skeptical?

Rogan responded. Apparently he has had both side of the issue on his show. So at least he's making an attempt to be fair whether you like it or not. He make a good point...a lot of stuff that was called misinformation a few months ago is now accepted fact. Who knows what else will change.
