My girlfriend always uses effective when she means efficient. I tried to explain the difference several times, but I gave up.

Awesome, thank you!

Now I’m curious what movie this is from

That’s exactly how I started playing guitar. I had a cheap strat, with no setup. I got used to it and I could play it fine.

I bought more guitars over the years, and when I moved out, I didn’t even bother bringing that guitar with me. Earlier this year l, my mom asked me to clean out some crap from my old bedroom, so I decided to take the guitar, give it some much needed attention and sell it. I cleaned the grime off of the fretboard and set it up properly. All of a sudden it went from a shitbox to a very decent guitar.

The new owner has a better strategy than I ever had, haha.

What did those signs during CM Punk’s entrance say? I couldn’t really make it out.

I use Open Camera. Great app, pretty intuitive, with lots of options. The downside is, there’s lots of options, so it can be annoying when you quickly want to take a picture, but the settings are all wrong for the situation.

For half an hour, yes

Well, that stream went well for a whole 5 minutes…

This is one of the few shows where I never skip the intro. Sometimes I even rewind, because I missed either the pun on the storefront or on the van.

I have been using Le Chat ever since I first heard of it, a couple of months ago and I never looked back. I watched an interview and Q&A with their CEO a while ago, and I like his attitude and vision. They seem to want to work towards company specific solutions, so this step makes sense.

I’ve been obsessed with All My Best Friends Are Ghosts by vōx. Very atmospheric and personal dark electro pop from Portugal. Bandcamp for those interested.

Use what you like, what plays comfortable and what fits your budget. Don’t tell my Fender Player Jaguar, but I just love my cheap Squier Super-Sonic. I love my Orange Dark Terror, but sometimes my Moore Preamp Live or my Spark is just more convenient.

It does. I hadn’t worn it in months, but I picked it up today and the time was still correct on the minute. I was checking their website and their new smart watches look like a big improvement, too. Like I said, you do get bang for your buck.

I bought one almost ten years ago and it’s quite nice. Good for the price and if you like colorful watches, they have some great color schemes. I haven’t tried their smart watches, but I have heard they’re not impressive. But then again, they’re cheap. They often have big discounts on their website, so you can always give it a try.

I use it for all kinds of stuff, a lot of it Dutch. I have feeds on general news, some tech stuff, some Gizmodo tags for topics I enjoy, guitar and music news, and daily comics. The feeds I follow have been trial and error. Some of them have way too much articles and they get annoying. At that point I remove them and look for something else.

I used to use Nextcloud News as well, but it stopped working for a while after a new NC version was released, some time last year. I installed FreshRSS as a temporary solution, but I never looked back. Yes, it’s convenient that you don’t need an extra service and that it’s integrated in NC, but FreshRSS is very customizable and has a much better user experience. You can always link it to Nextcloud as an external page.

I second FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android client. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though. I haven’t tried Capyreader yet, but I’m gonna check it right now. Update: FreshRSS and Capy Reader it is. I’m impressed with how intuitive and customizable CR is. Thanks for the tip!

Indeed, although I’m not sure how much added value it would have, since I think the Crayon overdrive would flatten out the broken up tube sound of the Hot Tubes. Nevertheless, it’s still an awesome pedal

I still prefer Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, but I’m a big Russ Meyer geek.

I didn’t know about this song yet. King Gizzard is cool though. I actually learned about this pedal through the band HotWax, which are named after the pedal. Not as wacky, but also good stuff.
