As someone who has taught a lot of beginner students, Ive seen more kids quit due to having a crappy instrument than due to any lack of desire or ability.

You probably got a good beginner, and a crappy guitar that makes it a chore.

A good setup MIGHT be able to save the guitar.

My guess is that if you are comfortable learning bass and marimba, you can handle guitar. You just need one thats playable!

Other methods of theft, however, are acceptable.

To add to this, back that local hardrive up on a REMOVABLE drive, and keep it physically detached. We are all one lightning strike away from near total loss.

Having worked in restaurants I am amazed that more people dont use scrapers to clean counters etc. It does such a better and quicker job than scrubbing.

I bought mine as a paibt scraper at a dollar store. Works just fine.

Don’t worry, we’re offsetting it with chicken sizes.

“Top Gun: Power Bottom”

Theyre gunna be rented out as props in a forthcoming “Top Gun” prequel.

Tricycle Santa!

Welp I’d probably go back to watching the Olympics

I would be much more impressed if he an account where he pretended to NOT be a child…

Im with you on this. I don’t dislike anime/manga as a medium. However, there is a tendancy for the format to exaggerate things I find annoying. That and the fan culture, much like many other highly dedicated fanbases, can be a major turn-off as well.

Russia and Germany.

A draft is highly unlikely for the same reason other US sectors aren’t desparate: they simply don’t need a lot of grunts.

Modern mechanized warfare doesn’t need nearly the supply of foot soldiers that conflicts passed did. We need engineers, technicians, skilled tradesmen, all of which can be recruited with a nice salary.

Russias invasion of Ukraine is using technology and tactics that were obsolete in the 70s, with predictable results. Were the US to formally enter the conflict, we probably wouldn’t see soldiers touch soil until it was already time to clean up the ashes.

Yes. I have a separate paypal account i use for for some micro jobs I do (think r/beermoney) and that account is my “fun money”. I buy things on steam sales, amazon, ebay with that balance and dont think twice. Its usually around $20-30 per week. If I have an exceptionally good week microtasking (which normally means I had a slow week in my regular jobs) I’ll move some money to my normal account rather than blow it on toys.

The sidekicks garlic alfredo is still sold at walmart, I have some in my cupboard currently.

In some markets these are sold as “Bolognese”. You might be able to get them shipped.

LinkedIn has become business-casual facebook.

I think the most likely scenario is that russian soldier executed the POWs well before the crash, and are just saying they died in the crash to cover up their war crimes.

Copius amounts of alcohol.

Sounds to me like Russians executed 65 POWs. Then in an unrelated event, a plane crashed. So Russia says the 65 war crimes were actually killed in the plane crash. Oh, and they also say this is all somehow Ukraines fault.
