  1. I also have the newer version of Nikon NX studio that would be fine for adjusting RAW images before JPG editing, if I ever wanted to shoot RAW.
  2. Adobe waited until I actually would have payed for a newer version of photoshop to shit on us and force a bullshit subscritpion only service. Fuck that shit. So they lost me twice when they could have made back that money from using it for decades for "trial purposes." I have Affinity Photo, but don't use it much. It has some great features, but it takes me a lot longer to edit pics than I did with oldass versions of Photoshop. I may revert back to it at some point when I'm willing to tackle the learning curve some more, but it's lacking in shortcuts and ease of use. I use GIMP most of the time, have it customized a bit with some keyboard shortcuts and have familiarized myself with it enough that it's about 80 percent as good as PS was. I can live with it. I really miss having my own custom actions to save a lot of time, but fuck Adobe.
  3. Players SSH Stratocaster in polar white, $599 at Adorama through the slickdeals link. https://slickdeals.net/f/16600466-fender-player-stratocaster-hss-electric-guitar-polar-white-599-free-s-h?src=frontpage
  4. Swainson's hawk. I used to have pairs nesting on my place (uncommon) for about 20 years straight before the big road expansion in front of the property a few years ago. They are one of the major birds that really got me deeply interested in birds.
  5. Check out Tom Bukovac's Home Schoolin' youtube channel. Using his thumb to play bass notes is one of his big things that opens up a lot of chord possibilities all over the neck. Start with the early episodes, Corona Lessons, going into the Home Schoolin' re-branding. Most of the essentials are right there. I'm not saying I can do any of that shit, but I intend to work on it. I dig his style. It resonates with me.
  6. Guitar Center Daily PIck: Surf Pearl Players series Telecaster, $699 https://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender/Player-Series-Telecaster-Maple-Fingerboard-Limited-Edition-Electric-Guitar-Surf-Pearl-1500000288960.gc
  7. It Might Get Funky Larry Graham, Flea, Bootsy Collins
  8. Hell yes. Unleash the fokking fury!
  9. Yet she was the best thing in the band.
  10. Not a huge fan but: Joe Bonamassa > Jack White
  11. Shoepf's definitely upped their game, while Miller's has sold out, but still gets the crowds. I'd take Shoep's all day long between the two nowdays, though I can't afford either one very often.
  12. I've been shooting some, but I find I increasingly dread editing and tend to put it off and just forget it. I've posted a few bird pics here and there in the birding thread. Here are a few other recent to fairly recent things.
  13. I made my first Reverb purchase ever last week. But it was for a friend who didn't want his ol' lady to find out, LOL. Just a pedal, no biggie. Good seller. I guess I need to leave feedback or something. I just hope it doesn't open up a wormhole for buying more shit I don't need. I know, that's not supposed to be how this works.
  14. Cool! I've never seen one with a belly-button before.

    2023 NFL DRAFT

    Some shithead will draft him in the sixth or seventh round. It will probably be Jerry.
  16. When is DeGrom's first Ranger injury commemorative bobble-head night?
  17. Rangers wait until they are dominating their division to decide to be dressed like a minor league team. Dalarlington fecalcats.
  18. Rangers merged with the White Sox?
  19. I still have a Fulltone OCD v2 that my friend gave me a couple of years ago. They got up to 300 or 400 after the company got slammed for some goofy thing the owner said on twitter. They are still around 200 on reverb, but I wish I had sold it, new in the box with paper, even the receipt.
  20. I watched one of his episodes a few months ago where they blind tested various Klons, incuding an original, and Klon clones, and they couldn't distinguish it from the cheapest Amazon pedal. They already did this, but there was no big thing. The internet can be full regard.
  21. ESPN puts up that win probability bullshit, and everything goes to shit. The script was written.
  22. Go ahead and Ranger it, guys. It's what we expect.
