  1. Imagine if someone did this to MSNBC headquarters, or CNN headquarters or Ben and Jerry's headquarters or torching cars at an abortion clinic. I'm sure the conversation would not be so superfluous regarding property damage. There would be outrage as there should be. Another example of the left choosing how they will react day to day to very similar things. Example: the mostly peaceful riots of looting, graffiti, arson, and assault costing American cities billions of dollars. That rightly should have gotten everyone up in arms, but it was described as mostly peaceful, therefore it wasn't a big deal that people were run out of business, literally liquidated due to looters. Just the cost of social anger. But it was mostly peaceful. mspart
  2. I got it yesterday. It was packed like crazy. It plays very nice. Sounds great. My wife likes it quite a bit actually. It has a much mellower sound than my electrics. I played it unplugged for a few minutes and she was impressed. I like it too. I plugged it in and put some reverb, chorus and delay on it and played around with that. Sounds pretty good with the reverb and chorus. The delay adds to the sound but it wasn't much really. I did set it so I could play Run like Heck (sp) by Pink Floyd with that delay effect that it has. That didn't sound bad. It would sound a lot better if I was a better player. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Hagstrom Viking. Still on sale on reverb.com at https://reverb.com/item/86682438-hagstrom-viking-tobacco-sunbrst-rp if anyone is interested. I told y'all about my rig, I have another amp, a Marshall Code 50. It is a programmable where I can get different sounds out of it, it has all of the effects. I didn't like the speaker, very cheap, and doesn't sound great. I rewired that to have a 1/4 jack out the back so i can plug it into the 2x12 cab and it sounds a lot better that way. The jack has the property of allowing the Code 50 speaker to play, but when the cord is plugged in, it takes power away from that speaker and routes it to the other end of the cord. Pretty cool jack really. Interestingly, my 20watt head (with vacuum tubes) is way louder than the 50watt Code, which is solid state. In addition it has bluetooth so I can play along with it with the backing tracks. That is a lot of fun to do alone without other players, because I don't have other players to play with. They make me feel inadequate because I am really not that good. I play decent rhythm, but leads, nope. It plays nice, I will have to do some work on intonation, but overall, plays good, feels good, sounds good plugged and unplugged. So overall I am impressed with how good it sounds and plays. mspart

  4. Since I don't expect much, I won't be disappointed. You can only exceed expectations. mspart
  5. You are most welcome. Now do better!! mspart
  6. Nothing new to say, stuck to repeating yourself? mspart
  7. First I will play it acoustically a little. Just to see how it sounds that way. Then I will plug it into my Marshall Origin 20 head and attach my effects pedals to it and put on some chorus and reverb and see how that sounds. I'll probably keep th sound pretty clean for awhile. On th videos I saw, it really sounded sweet on a clean amplification. I might add some fuzz or turn it up to get natural fuzz to to see how that sounds. I have a 2x12 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers that does pretty good. I'm expecting some good sounds coming. The Origin 20 is a cheaper tube amp that goes back to the old days of the Marshall amp. It sounds pretty good. My cab is one I bought for $80 off Offerup. I changed the speakers from Celestion 12GM-70 which I did not like. I bought some Vintage 30's (again, not the most expensive) and have a really nice cab now. I don't have expensive gear. But I don't play well enough to demand better. It suits my purposes pretty nicely. Interestingly, Ted Nugent played a similar instrument back in his heyday in the 70s. mspart
  8. Oh. I see. Of course that was what he was saying. Sorry to have gotten confused. mspart
  9. It came!!! My wife says the box does not look all beat up so hopefully it is good. I am excited to try it out. mspart
  10. Trying to be Gable is the issue. Zalesky was not the man. He was a good asst coach, but he totally failed at OSU and left there and is at Uni of Jamestown, a real wrestling power. At OSU, he just stopped caring about the program. Period. Tom Brands is a good coach. He has kept Iowa at the top levels, just not at the top. But he continues to want to be Gable and he is not. There are very few that are Gable, and Cael is a good argument. Gable was able to take good wrestlers and make them great, he was able to take great wrestlers and make them incredible. He had the tough guy image but part of its effectiveness was he seemed to have an innate ability to get in his wrestler's heads and know what they needed to get the absolute best out of them. Cael either does that or recruits people that don't need that. I think it is the former. That Gable ability to get in heads is something that cannot be taught in my opinion. That's what makes him great. mspart
  11. There is a huge warehouse in Maple Valley WA and 20 Amazon trucks in a row can be seen driving down the Maple Valley Highway in the morning. Huge effort. I'd say 1/3 are electric. mspart
  12. And that's why she took away security briefings from people who no longer need them or should be entitled to them. mspart
  13. Hey fishy, this is a good post. Well reasoned. USPS is a government service that is subsidized so that it can reach essentially everyone that wants to be reached. That is certainly a consideration. In the past, they had a monopoly on postal services. That is no longer the case. It is a service that benefits everyone for sure. mspart
  14. RV, your hero is saved for now. https://abcnews.go.com/US/ice-arrests-palestinian-activist-green-card-columbia-university/story?id=119616144 Judge blocks removal of Palestinian activist who was detained at Columbia University "To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise," Judge Jesse Furman wrote in a notice ordering a conference for Wednesday morning in the case. mspart
  15. Ok, you show me what you have. You want something that you know I cannot provide. He was a ring leader to the protests, the protests were illegal, erego, he was part of an illegal activity. I don't have specifics for you because I am not privy to them. When that info comes out, I'm sure it will be shared with you to sate your thirst for info. Mr. Homan himself will provide the info and say that was for RV of Intermat forums. mspart
  16. Perhaps. I don't think so. I just have more trouble on the keyboard. I can blame it on all the ads that stall the site. I type and type and can't see what I type, as it stalls. Then all of the sudden it all appears with spelling issues galore. Musty Moo Moo Moo!! mspart
  17. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-strips-security-clearances-alvin-bragg-letitia-james-others-2042541 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced on Monday that her office has revoted revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James, among others. Gabbard said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, "Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden 'disinformation' letter. The President's Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden." So that's a thing. mspart
  18. Ask ICE. I am not privy to those documents. But if you want to know what this guy was a part of and probably lead others to do at Columbia, that was illegal. There is no doubt about it. Being part of illegal activity can be, and often is, a mechanism to revoke government provided privileges. mspart
  19. I fat fingered that title. I'm doing that more and more lately. mspart
  20. https://apnews.com/article/tesla-cybertruck-fire-seattle-7cd720096694b8455684db31159ed666 SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle fire officials said a late Sunday fire that damaged four Tesla Cybertrucks is under investigation. The four Cybertrucks were parked in a Tesla lot in Seattle’s industrial district. No one was injured, and the four trucks were the only property damaged. The first call came at 11:13 p.m. Sunday, said David Cuerpo, Seattle Fire spokesperson. Tesla has been a target of protests and vandalism in the U.S. and elsewhere after CEO Elon Musk took a prominent role in President Donald Trump’s administration. People have protested Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, which has been moving to slash the size of the federal government through large-scale layoffs, contract cancellations and other moves. Police in Oregon last week said they are working with the FBI to investigate gunshots fired at a Tesla dealership. That shooting came a week after federal prosecutors in Denver charged a woman in connection with vandalism against a Tesla dealership in Colorado, including Molotov cocktails being thrown at vehicles and the words “Nazi cars” spray-painted on the building. The PNW is not kind to Tesla or Musk apparently. msaprt
  21. Apparently you have trouble placing your posts in the correct sequence. Or quoting what you are addressing. I admit to doing the same thing myself. That's why I said "I hope you are not talking about...." I thought it might be that you were referring to something else, but it was right after mine. mspart
  22. Read my post. The police were called. Woke politics gave the protestors a pass. Those who camped illegally and those who took over hamilton hall should be prosecuted. They are adults and responsible for their actions. You can say they were not arrested for illegal activity, but you cannot say they did not engage in illegal activity. Which is what you are trying to say. mspart
  23. Gotta pace yourself for sure. mspart
  24. You guys are hilarious. Trying to mold the law into what you want it to be. He was a leader of illegal protests at Columbia period. I'm sure he will have his hearing and he will have the due process that he is entitled to. mspart
