NASA's mega expensive moon rocket will make its public debut Thursday

Closing in on 51 here. I had that football game as a kid! I like having experienced the early days of video games. But I am also in awe of how far they've come. We have great tech being ruined by corporate greed (Day 1 DLC, absurd micro transactions, etc). I remember when you bought a game and...

Cabs

To be honest, UR cabs are what you want 99% of the time.

Digitech Drop Pedal

The Virtual Capo makes the Drop redundant. I use my Drop with tube amps.

FRFR Upgrade

I started out with a pair of the old Atomic tube FRFR cabs. They were not bad, but they both failed within a few weeks of each other. One literally caught fire. I now have a pair of Friedman ASM-12s. They blow away the old Atomics. Honestly, two of them is more than I need, but I wanted to...

COVID. Thought for sure that I was in the clear.

The FDA would differ. As would accepted medical science. You say you're a "qualified medical professional." Well, your assertions do not adhere to accepted medical science. You are advocating quackery. You should absolutely frack off. I am using Battlestar Galactica lingo, but please fill in...

Mine too. Because someone is a genius in one area does not mean they are qualified in other areas. Part of the problem with medical misinformation is that people like the OP (sorry, not meaning to pick on you) go to places like Facebook and here rather than qualified sources. People on the...

Exactly. Cliff is a genius at what he does, but he is not a medical professional and not qualified to give medical advice. Again, this thread and those like it should be deleted. OP should go to a qualified doctor, not to this forum.

COVID. Thought for sure that I was in the clear.

Ivermectin for COVID is bad advice. It's popular in conspiracy theory circles but can be very dangerous for humans. This is a forum for the AxeFX. Please do not come here for medical advice. Go to qualified medical professionals. Avoid Facebook and Youtube. You're already getting pointed to...

Health Update

Man, take months off from the forum and I come back to find this story! First off, I hope you continue to get better. Take good care of yourself, brother. You are not old and this was a bitch of a diagnosis, but you appear to be on an upswing and that's great. My respect for Zakk shot up...

WOW! Is it just me or have prices sky rocketed on gear?

I sold a Friedman 412 cabinet last year for $750. It as a grand new when I bought it a few years ago so I was going by used prices based on that. I should have looked on Sweetwater because they are $1400 now! Oh well, I'd already agreed on the deal and the guy was very nice and cool. I'm glad he...

Ask your doc about your testosterone levels!

I'll be honest I went to one of those T-clinics when I was in my early 40s. It was 100% insurance covered and I figured "what the hey?" if it's costing me nothing. I felt a little bit of pep for the first couple of weeks, then that tapered off. The place just didn't feel professional. The staff...

Mind you, the prostate cancer could be totally unrelated to the t-therapy. Correlation != causation

Fractalverse, Please Settle This Important Debate: Motley Crue vs Pearl Jam

Old men yelling at clouds. Two irrelevant bands arguing which one is more irrelevant. It's really sad, actually. Vedder needs to be thankful for his success despite confusing mumbling with a mouthful of marbles for actual singing. Vince needs to quit drinking, get with a dietician and a...
