Pounds are a measure of weight (force) not mass like grams. Stone is the imperial measure of mass and slug is the standard unit (US unit). In metric Newtons would be equivalent to pounds.

The only options are be genocided or be genocided quicker if there's no fear of retaliation. They're choosing to go out on their own terms.

The last time it failed it was supposed to come back with allowing modules instead of parts. Apple would be fine with selling "modules" as they consider their devices to be top case, bottom case, motherboard, battery, and screen (has stuff attached.) If they can have a needs calibration some where to shame 3rd party repairs and not allow board level repair it is just what they wanted.

I would stay away from Mexican strats. Unless you get a deal they not good bang for the buck. A little more gets you an US one, and a bit less gets you a better Asian import. Maybe a Jackson or Charvel, or a Kramer, or a squir classic vibes and and amp upgrade. Ibanez and ESP are also great options.
