  1. Now if only he could broker peace between Canada and Denmark. The Hans island dispute has caused many a hangover and one upsman ship. The horror.
  2. This is one of my issues with Trump. I approve that he ordered the strike. I THINK it accomplished it's purpose. But he declared massive success prior to knowing it. He does jump the gun.
  3. The left wingers in America hate Trump so much they hope for failure of everything to justify their hatred. They would applaud a collapse of our economy (remember they shouted joy about the short term drop in the stock markets) and here they hope against hope a military strike ordered against a clearly mad regime's nuclear ambitions failed. In short - they are bat<deleted> crazy hating on Trump and will believe ANYTHING printed that disparages he or anything he was behind. This isn't just disagreement of policy which is a laudable position. This is crazed hatred.
  4. Electrics will be a lot more impervious to humidity changes. The guitars I kept in my condo were a Fender Stratacaster Eric Johnson made in America. The acoustic was a Santa Cruz Vintage Jumbo. Both would be placed in their cases and stored when I wasn't in Thailand (3 months at a pop) with the AC turned off for the time I was gone. They did have desiccant paks. When I was there (3 months on) they would be hanging from the wall easy to grab and play. But I also ran the AC 24 hours. I had zero issues with them related to humidity. I actually have more problems here in Arizona because it is so dry all the time. None of my wood guitars are out of their cases unless they are being played. And I maintain humidipaks in the cases with them. Have to change every few months. The electrics I sometime have out for a few weeks at a time and so far no fret sprout or other issues. Even after that I had one guitar with a split on the top that needed repair and recently an R Taylor had a bridge lifting (might have not been humidity related). Now I will say whenever I would return to Thailand after 3 months the Santa Cruz would be slightly duller sounding for a week until I guess it dried a but from the AC. Last after I sold both of those I felt bereft of guitars and bought a Yamaha ACR5. It was in my hotel room (condo sold) without AC when I was out. Then lived 10 months in friends house with AC all the time until I returned. No problems there. I'm not saying ignore the warnings. You do have to take humidity into cponsideration and I always feared finding problems on return. Not with the electrics just the acoustics. I might have been lucky.
  5. What part is nonsense? I mean I simply wrote what I experienced. Did I imagine it? Do you think I am unaware of what humidity or lack of does to expensive instruments?
  6. I kept a very high end acoustic guitar (SCGC VJ) in my condo for 10 years. And I spent 3 months on and off being there so half the time the AC wasn't on. That guitar (and the Fender Stratacaster) was fine when I sold it. I have more issues with humidity here in Arizona where I have to insert humidipaks into the cases to prevent them drying out and cracking.
  7. Could get a transformer if you are only using the amp in your home. I know I'd hate to give up my Mesa Boogie Mark IV.
  8. No statement should ever contain those 4 words in order. Not with this regime in charge.
  9. I don't care where the news came from let's hope it is true. But IMO Israel should not accept any permanent ceasefire (aka peace) until Iran agrees to open inspections to prevent future development of nukes. That or the regime stepping down and allowing the people to hold open elections of a new government. Otherwise leaving this regime in power even as badly damaged as they are will result in their slowly returning to a terrorist nation threatening the west at every turn. Stopping now seems like seeing the finish line and agreeing to a tie with the guy 50 yards behind you.
  10. If you saw me you would know it really IS the trustworthy look I have. 🤣
  11. Sorry you got a bad entry. I can only speak for myself. Way back when (Like in the early 2000s) entry was bad. Long queues, 40 minutes or more for US citizens. Then long queues at customs. Every time. Last few years I have gone thru in less than 10 minutes total. Using the facial recognition machines. I don't check luggage though so that helps. Maybe I just have that trustworthy look about me. 🤣
  12. Tagging out of interest. If I ever move to Thailand I have about 15 somewhat expensive guitars I would bring. Anything else I could replace.
  13. There is nothing of value to agree with. Guessing you are actually just a troll and this is satire. I really hope so for your sake.
  14. Winner of dumbest internet post of the day. Lot of contenders but this was run away retarded and you win. Congratulations. 😃
  15. While it is clear that there are some negatives associated with the vaccines created for Covid are the positives ignored in the debate? I recall here in the USA hospitals were filled to the brim with people many of whom died gasping for air. I recall no surgery unless it was medically urgent preventing normal repair of hearts, joints etc. WIthin about 6 months of the vaccines I remember hospitals starting clearing and life was returning to normal. Yes, government way over-reacted in some ways shutting down grade schools, chirches and killing many businesses unnecessarily. And pumped so much money into an economy that didn't need to be killed in order to fight the virus. So they did a lot of things wrong. And sure we were sold a bill of goods relating to how effective the vaccine would be and how safe it would be. But overall did it end a worldwide pandemic? I dunno. I do know I take my medical advice from my doctors. And to be fair in the last few years not all of them suggested that I take any more "boosters" of the mRNA vaccine. And I have not since I was forced to in order to travel. But I am not a denier that something changed when the vaccines were released. We can all choose to look at the data in various ways and it may turn out that there was some nefarious profit motive in this but like the moon landings I take the conspiracy talk with a grain of salt. If this was a control or profit game the number of people involved in it that have kept their mouths shut is impressive.
  16. You have to ask yourself why Europe enjoyed peace during that span.
  17. What is horrible about this bomb? I read it. Did you? I am expecting the same retarded replies you gave Yellowtail.
  18. Of course they think this. Never mind it is war and they are fighting a dishonorable foe that hides behind their own population and lies through their teeth about atrocities. None of that is ever discovered by European governments. Pathetic.
  19. Yup. LAX is fast for IS citizens these days.
  20. This is all a pipe dream. Iran was going to continue development of a nuclear weapon regardless of who was in office or what "thoughtful world leaders" delusions about them were. Pretty sure no matter what Trump did or did not do this war between Israel and Iran has been coming as Israel can not allow Iran a nuclear weapon. Really is a weird take on history to think Trump is the cause of this war.
  21. For once I agree with JT. I see it very possible that the people of Iran are tiring of being international outcasts and their lifestyle stifled economically and by the rabid religious edicts of the regime. While the regime might be willing to sacrifice Iranians the people there might not stand for it. How long before the Iran army resists orders that result in the death of their own relatives?
  22. Weird how he took what I wrote and came to that conclusion. But then the internet is full of people who view the world in odd ways.
  23. I wonder if Vegas is taking bets. My money says this time the people of Iran throw off the islamic regime and start acting like a responsible nation. Elimination of the mullahs, a willingness to completely disarm and the world would be happy to buy their oil to help them rebuild a prosperous society.
  24. I hate how Trump speaks. He speaks to base emotion and intellect. He is bombastic and self aggrandizing. Yet, the content of his speech and positions he endorses are the right ones. Would it make me prouder that I voted for him if he was as well spoken as Reagan or Obama? Yes it would. But today, given a choice between he and any Democrat that hasrun for the job in the last 30 years I still vote Trump. I care way more about the actions of a president than if they drool when they eat or need depends. Mind you Fetterman is getting my attention. He might be an emerging Democrat with brains enough to see how lost that party is.
  25. I don't think the USA or Europe opposes an independent state or ever has. https://lawandsocietymagazine.com/how-palestine-rejected-offer-to-have-its-own-state-5-times-in-the-past/
