When it rains, enormous tropical insects invite themselves into our home. Inconsiderate bastards.

Fucking centipedes.

When I lived in USVI we used to chase lizards into the house for pest control.

That Tucker Carlson apparently wants to fuck the Green and Brown M&Ms.





Honestly, the Brown M&M in particular was surprising to me, especially given how many white nationalist dog whistles he's been blowing over the past few years.

Also, on a saner note, apparently, while Jimi Hendrix played guitar left-handed, he also wrote right-handed.

Jimi did some incredible things with his guitar. Tucker Carlson? All he has is a sad sort of insanity, which has no musical component.

Native basketball team at the Chilocco “vocational school” — 1909. Before the Nazi’s appropriated it, the swastika was an Indigenous symbol that stood for — hope and good fortune.

Hand-held grenade launchers date from the 1730s. They were very inaccurate, not to mention dangerous to the user - it was necessary to light the fuse on the grenade, drop it down the barrel of a flintlock blunderbuss, the fire the weapon before the grenade exploded.

I imagine that taking careful aim wasn’t much of a consideration.

Another interesting thing about the guitar: if you're playing an electric guitar, the tone of a specific guitar seems to only be down to a few variables:

• Tuning
  
• Strings
  
• Scale Length
  
• Pickup model, height, position, and angle
  
• Effective volume pot value. (Maybe tone pot and cap value if you're into turning down the tone knob)
  

And future testing may even eliminate some of these things.

So, basically, if I wanted the classic Rickenbacker tone, I could put a toaster pickup on any 24 3/4" scale guitar (Gibson and the like), and as long as I set the pickup in just the right place (Neck pickup betwen 17.83-19.14" and Bridge pickup between 22.52-23.92" if my analysis of pics of a Rickenbacker 360/12 is any indication) and at the right height (and maybe if I swapped out the volume pot for for something at either 250k or 330k, and I'm getting conflicting information here), I could get it. Granted, much of the Ric magic is in the 12-strings, which might be a bit harder to find, and, sadly, I don't expect Dhani Harrison to answer my emails about the pickup height on his Dad's old Ricky.

Dude managed to match his Tom Anderson Tele with the strings and electronics suspended between his work bench and an old shelf, which really says a lot about how much it works.

Centipedes are not insects.

Yes, they're arthropods. I'll remember that the next time I engage one in single combat.
