    Finally bought a new guitar amplifier

    Here's a cool feature of this amp that I didn't notice right away - you can set the output power. So if you want to, you can run the input gain etc. and redline the amp to get more distortion or harmonics, etc. and only put so much power at the speaker - it has 25, 50, 100W options.

    Finally bought a new guitar amplifier

    I had a Marshall 50 practice amp (I don't gig with electric guitar, I'm a bassman), and I've had it since the late 1990s. It wasn't loud enough to jam with a drum kit and while it made decent sound, it was typical Marshall; it wants to growl and bark but not much else. More recently though...

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    I watched it. It's well-acted for the most part, and I am a total ... which may be a spoiler, if you haven't seen the previews. About half of it was cliche and really pushes the trope buttons but again, I like all the Subspecies movies for various reasons, and that's saying something, but...

    Try Fury if you haven't. I'm told it's pretty triggering. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2713180/

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Watched the Wrecking Crew. Enjoyable typical bad cop romp with a boatload of spent shell casings. Somehow it was elevated above the usual tough guy dreck, but it still amazes me, having shot weapons like the MP4, that nobody but them seems able to hit anyone. Oh sure, they torque to the...

    I didn't mind it. It really didn't break any new ground and the ending was dis-satisfying for me, but overall it entertained.

    Looking for Wingmen

    I don't know how you'd call a Goldwing an old man's bike. They rip. I had enough fun on one at a demo ride that I had a little talking-to. LOL

    Stocks

    My broker came as a recommendation from a good friend who owns a construction company (he's a wee bit wealthier than me, lol). I believe in him, but it would seem that Scotia's team is doing an excellent job with my money, with 17% returns for two years running on a LOT smaller investment...

    Stocks

    It pains me to say it but so far my Scotiabank RRSP accounts have outperformed my Edward Jones accounts. Which, for me, is a WTF?

    Banks

    My top-level bank account required me to keep $30K or higher in my bank account to avoid any fees or other costs. I just got the notice that they've changed the minimum to $100K. That includes any TFSA, GIC or RRSP account you might have, but I don't do that with the bank, I have a private...

    Carney drops tariffs to 6.9% on Chinese EVs

    Don't be talking up China. They *have* threatened us over Arctic sovereignty. What they've done with bullying Thailand and Japan, jailing political critics, surveilling and using social credit to demoralise their society, spying and stealing IP; utilising slavery... I won't hear of any...

    Carney drops tariffs to 6.9% on Chinese EVs

    All other things aside.... Trump was democratically elected.

    Supplements - anyone taking

    That's not how it works. At all. More likely he was taking something you didn't know about, or if his blood really was diluted then it was the opposite of taking mass drinks that caused it. Blood thickens with food intake and even vasodilators like l-citrulline just open the blood vessels...
