I read it, and I don't agree that he explained why Helix sucked. Unless I'm reading it wrong, he seems to think a voice-controlled rig would be better for live performance? I understand that the tone of these user's comments

I'm not a student of military history but these all seem disparate examples that don't support the point that you're trying to make. Are you trying to say something about the nature of the US Military's (in)ability to h

'JHS Pedals', 'shnobel', 'JLeonardJ', and 'Mike Hermans' all have great content about guitar pedals, effects, etc. [Note: Even if you're not a guitarist, JHS's "The First Guitar Effects

If someone orients their speakers in an aesthetically-pleasing-but-sub-optimal-for-hearing manner, then it's difficult to argue that they have an "ardent interest" in high-fidelity sound replication.

I think the rapid mental and physical decline in your twilight years dissuades most people from wanting to live much longer than that, not some inane moral compulsion to live within our "rightful" lifespan.

Head shop I used to go to in the mid-90s kept their "water pipes" in a locked back room. You couldn't even buy one unless they'd deemed you "hip to it, man" or whatever.

You don't. Your hands never come into contact with your anus or fecal matter. I've had friends react negatively to my bidet. I ask them, "If you needed to clean dog poop off pavement, would you rather grab paper towels or a p
