Thunderbird Club

My starting point is generally 250k for single coils and 500k for humbuckers.
(But my experience is with those baby guitars that with skinny strings.)

I've be using 500k for single's and diggin' it. :bassist:
 
Chocolate bacon.

My recent discovery - as a Reeses Peanut-Butter Cup fan from way back, this is not that but is a really nice blend of both pb and chocolate. I expect Reeses to produce their own version eventually - which will be dangerous. This version is more subtle and won't encourage eating it with a spoon from the jar!

as the others said, 32F.

Zero Celsius is the temperature point that water freezes. Which is a fairly logical set point when you think about it.

edit: forgot to add that water boils (sea level) at 100.

Putting it into terms that Thunderbird players would understand:

The ice for your scotch on the rocks or your gin and tonic, is 0C.
To make tea properly, the water must reach 100C.

On the summit of Mount Everest the boiling point of water is 71°C.

Which is why tea on an airplane will never taste right.

The boiling point of the water could be raised back to 100C by adding salt.*

* You would have to add a lot of salt to raise the boiling point sufficiently**

** The salt will probably ruin your tea***

*** It is to early in the morning to look up boiling point increase constants and calculate the molality of solutions to determine how much salt would have to be added.

Kraft product from the 70s. Chocolate and banana were the only good flavours. I can't recall when/why it was discontinued.
