I'm just hit the god damn stop/cancel button if you want to stop it before the timer reaches zero.

Is there a weather service that doesn't?

If you're going to speak in broad strokes about the majority, it's important to get right that the majority of votes went against Trump. He only has the support of the largest single minority bloc of voters.

He needs to make sure they know AI regulations prevented proper forecasting and maybe the victims should have had more guns.

It happens accidentally from time to time. No big deal. But if one of you is sick and the other isn't then that's a pretty good transmission vector. So it's worth paying more attention in those situations.

Whose get two thumbs and can lock their tuners? (lemmy.world)
 

This guy! Baroness and the Juniors gave me a set of GraphTech Ratio tuners for the Epi 335 for Father's Day. Finally had a moment to install them. I didn't see the numbering on them until I was almost done installing them. So I had to look up the manual to see where they're supposed to go. They were all in the wrong spot.

This Strat Can Sound Like ANY Guitar (youtu.be)
 

I hadn't seen anything about this anywhere. Looks like it's the Bogner Electronics ST-Pro. A pre-wired pick-guard with a set of programmable pickups, selector, and volume/tone/mode knobs. My opinion was the Strat and Les Paul modes sounded closer to their respective originals than did the Tele or hollowbody modes.

The SaberCats propelled themselves into the Major League Rugby championship finals against the New England Free Jacks next Saturday in Rhode Island at Centreville Bank Stadium.

While the job isn’t finished, the Shield is attainable for the SaberCats after defeating Utah. One more win is what the SaberCats need to be champions for the first time in franchise history.

They’ve already become the most successful team in SaberCats history by winning their first two playoff matches over the past week.

Houston SaberCats have kept the streak alive with playoff wins against RFCLA and Utah Warriors to claim the Western Conference title.

Baroness got me the Two Kings kit from Stew Mac. Just finished inventory of the resistors, diodes, capacitors, etc. I'm not really sure how to measure diodes or capacitors with a multimeter. I don't even have a farad option on it.

Scott Lawrence has selected 32 players in his Senior Men’s Eagles squad for the July test window. The USA will face off against Belgium in Charlotte on July 5, Spain at the same venue on July 12, and England in the nation’s capital on July 19. Qualification for the 2027 World Cup follows with the Eagles opening their Pacific Nations Cup campaign against Canada in Calgary on August 22.

The MLR is heavily represented here with only 4 of the 32 players not being in the league. Only RFCLA are missing in the national squad.

Houston SaberCats going to the playoffs (houstonsabercats.com)
 

Once it was over, a fun and brief celebration could begin for the Houston SaberCats. They put an exclamation point on another winning regular season, heading into the playoffs with a 10-6 record and earned the second seed in the Western Conference division.

They earned the right to host a home playoff game next Sunday night against Rugby Football Club Los Angeles as they finished with three more points overall.

This is our 4th consecutive year to make an appearance in the playoffs, all of them at home, still looking for that first playoff win though.
