Please recommend guitar wall hangers
Yep - string swing. I have once upon a time had a Hercules wall mount and it was also fine. But, I have string swings and hang lots of guitars and basses including nitro guitars and I’ve never had an issue with the string swings.

The Guitar Pron Thread
I’m not a metallurgist or anything, just figured I’d try out the bluegrass strings since I was on a bit of a cuttin grass kick, but they are monel, which is some kind of nickel alloy that is I guess fairly resistant to corrosion. I haven’t a/b’d them with a fresh set of phosphors but I’d say they are less bright sounding than that, but they have thus far not gotten that cruddy dead feeling or sound that you get from phosphor or 80/20 strings when they start to go dark.

Shit I've Cooked Lately
English muffins, these were a big hit with the kids. Burned some of them a bit in the skillet but the ones from the griddle turned out great if a bit misshapen.

Alamo Drafthouse Committing Suicide
This is of course to allow them to staff few waiters, and I am not a fan of this for ordering in movies. That said, I am.... not the biggest detractor of this for ordering food up front. I'll go catch a lunch matinee on Fridays frequently when work is dead and I'm well over 40 for the week, and paper and pen or with the waiter taking my order directly before the movie they'll fuck up my pizza more often than not. I like to add jalapenos and onions and I like a shaker of red pepper on the side, and it is just always missing at least one of those things whenever a human takes the order and it so far has not when I put it in on the mobile app. Anyways, I think this is a bad sign and mostly sucks, but man ordering from the waiters is frustrating sometimes.

The movie you just watched
Man, I loved Marty Supreme. That was a great film. I'm still working through the meaning of it all, but just as a... big episodic adventure, that same drive from the other Safdie films but with a different flavor to the anxiety, all wrapped around a story of youth and corrosive ambition. It was funny, it was exciting, Chalamet's performance was perfect and pulled the whole thing together, there were so many little moments and they all came so quickly. It was not at all the movie I was expecting from the trailers. I'm trying to decide how much of this has to do with the period and setting but it most reminds me of Inside Llewyn Davis, except with a completely different kind of asshole as a main character and a different tempo. Or even, this is Inside Llewyn Davis at 23 - when the ambition and ego is still has all of it's edge and none of its maturity, when you can spring right back up from a punch to the gut, when the people who love you haven't given up on you yet, when you're still convinced that the world will know you for who you know that you are destined to be. I assumed this would be shitty but was hoping it might be fun bad. Sounds like it is just bad bad?

Fallout (TV Show) - Amazon prime
There's been a lot of Fallout New Vegas (obviously) fan service. Lots of familiar locations. I agree the plot has been pretty slow developing, hopefully it pays off. I guess Kumail just popped in for a minute but I hope we get some more of the Legion with Kevin McCallister. Not clear to me if those holdouts from the NCR are supposed to be the actual last of that organization still around, or just completely separated from a much diminished NCR? I'm still enjoying this but it is slow and I hope it comes back together. The junior executives are funny.

The Guitar Pron Thread
I was going to ask if that was a Tweedy (which I’m sure I’ve asked before). Love that guitar. I’ve decided that I like monel strings on my dreads. Specifically, I bought a set of Martin Tony Rice retro acoustic strings and then realized they were still on my hd28 and feeling fresh and sounding nice a year later despite heavy play. I feel like every time I pull my j45 out, whatever phosphor bronze strings have gone dead, so i put a set of those Tony Rice strings on it and it has been sitting out getting all the love for a month. Curious if anyone else has the same growing string drawer problem that I have.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
For a second i thought this meant like… someone ran him over, after the interaction where he was not rammed or run over at all before he murdered that person. And then i realized the meaning and that’s a bummer.
