I think I've done a poor job at communicating my points, as I still think we're mostly in agreement on this. That said, I'm not going to attempt to clarify myself as I realize it would continue to go pretty heavily off-topic. @Isaac James beautifully articulated the point that a lot of people...

If I'm understanding correctly, this is exactly what I mean. There is a similar way people take this that I disagree with, when they say that we need to "go back to pen and paper" which research indicates is a mistake. For example - I had networking courses in college where we had a written...

I work in education, and detecting / banning AI content is sadly not something that can be done with any amount of confidence at this time. The solution for students would be to test hands-on skills instead of arbitrary tests that don't actually prove knowledge. Theoretically that would make...

As a former network technician, this is exactly how I see it as well. The number of times I worked on issues where people "tried everything" and "tested that already" only for it to work when we tried it again... With experience, we don't blame the users - often there are little nuances they...

It's not 100%, but this probably confirms they went out of business, as the last listings were from late 2019: Reverb

Good question - I rest my thumb on the bottom of the fretboard anyways when I get that high, so with the angle of my hand and the strap it doesn't really affect me too much. Granted, I can't reach the last 4 frets or so. It has not yet been an issue for me with the range I tend to play in...

My Warwick weighs 10.7 lbs [4.8-4.9 kg] and is not balanced perfectly. Luckily a previous owner modified it to have strap locks for left handed use as well, so I just lock the strap into the lower horn which fixes the balance. Edit: I forgot the point - when balanced, I really don't notice the...

I got these in my late teens / early 20s, and the ocular migraine would usually be followed by a headache 30 minutes or so later. Almost forgot about them until now, but I saw the pattern like "cracked lightning" in my vision while it was happening. I might have this too, but in my case the...
