Because the alternative is trying to stay in a dying physical medium (CDs), a nice physical medium (LPs), or accepting piracy.
Streaming was a compromise to allow record labels to sell access to music at a bulk cost so that they can continue to exist.
That's three of our best states
I tell you what, we'll trade you Alberta and Saskatchewan, the BEEF, OIL, AND GAS POWERHOUSES OF CANADA for your libcucked latte sipping west coast states California, Oregon, and Washington.
"We only want convoluted tax breaks that only benefit the wealthiest tier of Canadians, not broad strokes that attempt to help the poorest!"
Literally had a coworker ask in a Narcan training session, with 100% sincerity "Why dont we just let them die? They made their choice, why should we save them?"
Too many people have the inability to imagine themselves in anyone else's shoes but their own.
I wonder if anyone who is in favour of shutting down these sites have ever been to the point of desparation of using intravenous drugs to escape their life for a few fleeting moments.
Do they realize that its not "oh, a safe injection site? Well, I guess now is a good time to start doing smack".
Nearly a fucking year ago. Insane how the death machine just keeps chugging along unabated.
News outlets: "Gen X/Millenials are about to receive the greatest generational wealth transfer in the history of mankind!"
Scammers and Reverse Mortgage brokers: "Lol"
Still waiting on that Redditor to reveal the gay senator he was having an affair with.
Exaclty. Blackmail only works if the target has a sense of shame, and clearly MAGAts abandones theirs long ago.
And "business" lunches, rounds of golf, general hobnobbing, etc.
Guys like that will be on holiday and check their email once per day, respond to two of them, then claim to "never take vacation".
Their whole reality is warped.
This thing punches waaaaay above its weight class in terms of price to playability. It is actually stupid how much better it is than my LP. Neck heel is beautiful, completely open access to the upper frets. A nice, chunky, matte neck, too.
It also has a coil-tap-but-not-coil-tap on the tone knob push pull that gives a little more bite and chime single coil character but with minimal output loss.
Another thing I really appreciate is that Yamaha took the time to wire the pots correctly so when I turn them "forward" (counterclockwise), the volume goes up. Some other, bigger companies do not always take the time to do this.
All in all, a solid guitar for a great price. Highly recommend giving it a look if you are in the market for a versatile HH guitar.
Finally found a Danelectro Chicken Salad for a resonable price (ie pre-JHS hype prices). Definitely a good Vibe circuit, but the casing is fragile. Do not fall for the hype and buy one over $100. At that price, you could get a BBE Soulvibe, which is just as good IMO, and has a sturdier case.
The Yamaha CH100 Stereo chorus was a neat find. Very much a thick, lush, 80s style stereo chorus. The manual and width knobs are pretty interactive making for some very cool sounds. Absolutelty S P A C I O U S in S T E R E O.
I bought this bike six years ago as my first bike, and it only had ~22,000kms on it, not bad for a 35 year old (at the time) bike.
Its been my bike that I have learned on, not just rising, but hard lessons in general. Some of these include:
Despite all my lack of awareness in maintenance and general care, this this is still going strong. So far all I've had to replace is the clutch cable (mentioned above), a headlamp, and a fuse. It is a testament to how well these old UJM bikes were built that its still running despite my less than regular maintenance schedule.
Lol good one
