Cognitive Decline? Trump Goes on Weird Tangent Explaining Water
  • Signs like a real ball of confusion.

  • Why Harris is taking her campaign to a state she wonโ€™t win: Texas
  • Texas is more like R+5 ish

    That really depends on what office and presidential vs non-presidential election years.

  • Kamala Harris to rally in Houston days before Election Day
  • But Trump underperformed down-ballot in 2020. People showed up to vote for all the other Republicans but then not for him.

  • Kamala Harris to rally in Houston days before Election Day
  • I am in Texas, and I do hate Ted Cruz. But in 2020 we saw Trump underperform down-ballot races. We would have to see him outperform them this year and we now have the fallout from Dobbs motivating voters in favor of Harris. What issues would make someone vote for Trump and not Cruz?

  • Kamala Harris to rally in Houston days before Election Day
  • I have a tough time imagining left-leaning voters would vote for Allred and not Harris, so that would require right-leaning voters casting votes for Trump but not Cruz. And I can't envision that being a common enough scenario to split the state-wide vote like that.

  • Lemmy 100%?
  • Depends if the community came over here with me or not.

  • Jill Stein Hurts Donald Trump More Than Kamala Harris, Poll Suggests
  • In elections where the winner is 50%+1,

    US popular vote elections aren't 50%+1, though. Whoever has the most votes wins, regardless of percentage.

  • [Legal question] Are song titles subject to trademark?
  • Not a lawyer, probably depends on context.

  • Former KKK leader David Duke endorses Jill Stein
  • Who the hell would change their vote from Harris to Stein based on an endorsement from a former Ku Klux Klan leader?!

  • Why do shows on streaming platforms waste time with "previously on" recaps?
  • I'd rather watch the recap than manually skip around through a previous episode. And if the recap leaves me confused then I'll looks at the last episode.

  • What Gmail did to email
  • Eudora! I had forgotten all about that one.

  • Former KKK leader David Duke endorses Jill Stein
  • ERMAGHERD dat typo!

  • Former KKK leader David Duke endorses Jill Stein
  • I can't laugh heard enough about this.

  • Android 16 will include a Terminal and full Linux VM support with GPU acceleration
  • Yeah if this isn't a step on the path to "connect your phone to this [usb-c|thunderbolt|whatevs] dock and you get a full desktop OS, I'm not super interested.

  • I tried switching to Gmail for Android and noped out immediately
  • If Proton would offer feature to send from your mailbox with external SMTP accounts, like GMails, I would sign up for unlimited.

  • New Chase Bliss - Clean Compressor
  • Lucky it's got MIDI and presets. Pedals with as much versatility as this are wasted for live use without that. Also this sounds neato

    Mono to stereo expansion

    Check if my number is used on WhatsApp, without using WhatsApp?

    Lately when I forced to login to FaceBook they will sent a WhatsApp message to my phone number, even though I don't use WhatsApp. I'd like to see if there is really an account with my number. I tried going to the web client but it seems to be requiring to pair with a device app.

    Guitar pedals on .. flute?

    Just came across this flautist using guitar pedals and it's pretty freaking awesome.

    I tried to post the MP4 itself but I'm getting a "too many frames" error and can't seem to find any guidelines on video file upload limits.

    New TrueTone 1-Spot Pro models 11, 5, and 8

    Looks like the CS 11 has dropped the AC port and sag control from the 12, and it has an output to power an XP 5 or XP 8. The XP 5 and 8 drop the IEC power plugs, and have outputs to daisy chain to more XP 5/8 units. The XP 5 has SKUs for with and without a power supply, the XP 8 is only sold with a power supply.

    PRS introduces the PRS NF3

    > The PRS SE NF3 is a distinct guitar in the PRS lineup. The heart of this guitar is a trio of PRS Narrowfield pickups, a first for the SE Series. Supporting these pickups is a poplar body, 22-fret bolt-on maple neck, and the choice of either a rosewood or maple fretboard. The SE NF3 is a versatile workhorse guitar that is fun to play and hard to put down. The Narrowfield DD (Deep Dish) โ€œSโ€ pickups are made with taller bobbins to fit more winds and extra metal pieces in between the magnets for a more focused, powerful tone.

    NPD: MXR 10 band EQ and Mission Engineering Expression

    My birthday came and went, with two new pedals for my board. The expression pedal is the EP-25k, for use with the Pitch Fork and the tremolo. But alas I only have the one TRS cable for now, so I've only tried it with the Pitchfork. Really fun, and pleasantly different than using a vibrato arm on the guitar.

    The EQ I haven't hooked up yet. I need to flip the board and look at my power situation as I don't have any slots left on the C-spot. The main intent for that pedal in the near-term is for when I switch from humbuckers to single coils. Presently plugging in my Strat is just really underwhelming as everything is set more for my PRS 24-08 and Epi 335. A longer-term interest with the EQ pedal is for splitting my chain for wet/dry between the Prince of Tone and the Micro Flanger.

    Ian Moore's board at Heights Theater, Houston, 5/11

    Not surprised about the Strymon presence, he has a lot of nice layers and texture from the middle of his career. I've never heard a bad review of the Duelist, but seeing it on Ian's board certainly bumps it up a notch in my book. He was playing through a Holy Watt amp head/cab, which I'd never heard of. I assumed the Holy Watt pedal was like a channel switcher. But looking at their site, not only is it a standalone drive pedal, Ian has a signature line with them!

    https://holywatt.com/products/ian-moore-signature-prestige-cl15/ https://holywatt.com/products/ian-moore-signature-prestige-cl30/ https://holywatt.com/products/ian-moore-signature-2x12-cab/

    He mostly played through his Tele-Strat (Tele neck on a Strat body). He had two that he swapped between every song (guessing they had to be re-tuned after every song). But he also played a Les Paul Junior for one song (Today, very emotional tribute to his late brother-in-law), and a Supro, maybe a Rhythm Master, for a slide track (Nothing).

    When I switch between logged in accounts, I have to manually refresh the feed tab/view to reflect the account switch. I would prefer the reload be done automatically, an option to allow users to specify this behavior would be ideal.
