    Yeah, checked out some rev vids, and it sounded ok to me.
    I found out that having the amp gain just about 1 o'clock
    and not turning on the amp distortion, the Inferno pedal
    fills the role really well.
    Turns out a lot of bands don't crank the gain up much past
    half, and not cutting out the mid helps too. :)

    I'm sure mine was just a fluke. I gave it to a friend for him to use for less extreme tones and as far as I know he's been very happy with it. It sounded really good for the price.

    God's food! Peanut butter Cookies, Peanut Butter Pie, Peanut Butter soup (look it up!) , Peanut butter on Pancakes (Don't go yuck! try it!), Peanut butter & Pickle sandwiches (again, try it - Kosher dills are the best).

    The wife bought a new mattress because the old one was killing her back. She bought one of those vacuum packed, rolled up, and stuffed in a box hybrid memory foam things. Now the new mattress is killing my back.

    It looks like a Pixar dog. If it spoke it would have the voice of John Goodman.

    I have one of those electric kettles, those things are great. Want to make some pasta in a hurry? Don’t laugh too hard, it works.

    I once saw a clip where a lady used a drip coffee maker to cook fish.

    The thought of an M&M filled with melted chocolate is very appealing, but no.

    After buying these I realised I needed a new vac, so I bought one of these. I now have about £5.76 left in my bank account.

    The next time I buy a pack of peanut M&M I shall be placing a handful in a bowl of hot water for 30 seconds or so.

    I expect the dye to melt off and not much else. Think that hot water would dissolve the candy shell before the chocolate melted. Maybe vacuum seal them into a bag and sous-vide?

    I recently picked up an antique apothecary scale and a small end table that looks antique but really isn't. The scale came with a bunch of individual weights for balancing and "weighing" whatever you have on the other side. Circa 1870 according to the shop owner, who could be totally full of shit and I would never know it.

    I just today got in the album Forever Ofra Haza, a remix album of Ofra's work that is pretty hard to come by for under $100.

    I got it for under $100. :)
