The Digital Doubt

[Jarick]

My first three cars were absolute lemons that cost me an arm and a leg to fix (Mercury Cougar, BMW 330xi, Nissan Murano). I've since switched over to Honda and Toyota and I've had one non-maintenance repair in the last 15 years across all the cars.

For York Audio, my favorite Marshall is the Blackback 4x12. All the others sound wonky to me, although the M25 isn't bad. But the Blackback is just the sweet spot for anything classic rock.

I've actually liked everything I've gotten from York, but yeah Blackback is tasty AF.

Yeah they aren't bad at all but they aren't "Ownhammer GNR Marshall" great. I flip between York and OH a fair amount, both are IMO top of the heap for IR's.

Try it on a super reverb. I seem to really enjoy the fender + Marshall cab combination

I'm the type of guy who puts the same IR on all amps most of the time...I like a good 4x12 Marshall GB or 2x12 Mesa V30 on everything.

I think I use that 4x12 Marshall now. Is that something like “basket..” ? 20 watt?

See I've never liked OH, but that's subjective. It's like saying "I'd like this engineer to work on my album" though.

The norm is 12K. I’ve got a 70 mile round trip commute, and my kids are involved in a ton of activities.

I have no kids and no commute. I understand I drive far less than average,

I find red squirrels to be the most distracting loud mofos.

I had a legit War with them this past Summer/Fall. I was shooting them from inside the house and
out a window I pulled the screens out of. A couple even dead stared me in the eye when I had them in
the crosshairs and they didn't back down with their castigating chatter. "Don't you know who we are!!"



They were stashing pinecones in my attic space for a winter retreat. Took out the whole damn family. Now
I have moved on to my Mom's garage where there is a family that took up residence for the winter.

I despise the arrogant little fucks. Other Squirrels agree! No one in Nature likes the ornery little fucks.

We had really beautiful and cute squirrel last summer moving in, in a large pine at the neighbors. He visited us every day and he even got quite acquainted with the kids, them being kids of course they fed him various treats. So at the end of the summer he was sitting on the windows saying hello and stuff like that. He even knew our youngest kids room was on the second floor so every morning he was up there on the pane. Also ran around on the yard when the kids were outside.

We named him Jeremy…

One morning i found him stone cold dead inside the basement entrance…. Where the cat door is…

This is our cat… Sesam… he’s cute to…

But he’s also a cold mothafucking killing machine that kills for fun and pleasure… psychopath cat…. Fucking killed Jeremy. I loved Jeremy. I guess Sesam didn’t like having Jeremy running around on the yard. Offed him like nothing and then gave him to me as gift…

But the story is that… well… we don’t have squirrel “problems”, seldom see the little fucks. Jeremy was special. Or really stupid. And dead, as soon as he set his little cute paws on our yard… it was meant to be.

Dude, how cold-hearted and soulless do you have to be to shoot cute little squirrels?

Oh man, I can relate to that so well! Once a rabbit hid her baby in our garden. It was so incredibly cute! Then one of our cats came and after a few minutes my wife discovered the baby bunny's severed head lying in the lawn. I really hated the cat for a full 5 minutes.

No digital doubt in Sesam's mind! He knew how to take care of that intruder!! Probably heard that "squirrel in the room" tone and pounced ;~))

When I was about 13 or 14, we had a pet fox squirrel named Noel. Beautiful. He stayed in a separate part of the house where the kids rooms were but he'd end up in the closet chewing on something.
He was funny as hell.. we'd run by and he jump on us, we'd wrestle with him. My dad ended up building an outside pin for him because he was getting too rambunctious. And fox squirrels get quite large too. Something happened and he ended up escaping or a predator got him, not sure.

I killed a squirrel with a BB gun when I was 11 or so, I was almost catatonic the rest of that camping trip because I felt like such a piece of shit after. Echo goes apeshit when he sees them (or cats) and thankfully they can outrun him, but I know the day he gets his mouth on one it won’t be a pretty sight.

Humans not securing their domicile and taking it out violently in nature that existed in that space long before anyone put a house there. Pretty typical.

My general rule is don't kill it unless you plan on eating it too. My great grandpa loved squirrels and squirrel brain fwiw.

This thread got weirder than usual and for this place that's saying something.
