  1. Testing on iPhone: 1. Copy Link got me this garbage: https://imgur.com/a/1ccW4ZC#sRYtOEk Not it! 2. Copy Direct Link got me this: https://imgur.com/gallery/1ccW4ZC#sRYtOEk Still not it. I need something ending a file format suffix. 3. Copy Post Link is: https://imgur.com/a/1ccW4ZC Obviously I’ll have to research this more… ETA: research has let me to the supposition I can simply append ".JPG" to any of the links, above. I am extremely doubtful, but the correct way to attempt would be to highlight each link, then click the Hyperlink button, above, to get the window. The ".JPG" would then be added to the hyperlink reference (the text reference doesn't matter to the HTML). 1. Copy Link got me this garbage: https://imgur.com/a/1ccW4ZC#sRYtOEk.jpg 2.

  2. I suppose that would be a natural (rather than a common) logarithm? #nerdjokes!
  3. Or, "I am unable to best you (situationally specific), so I'll tie you up in the courts until you relent"
  4. That was one of Tim Pierce's main points. The principle is found in all of modern human endeavor: if you can't compete (ideas, product quality, innovation, aesthetics, insert anything else), litigate.
  5. I think the primary problem is over seventy years of failure to defend. It would be difficult to argue sudden harm when you've been letting it go for the better part of a century.
  6. Good for you! I am amazed at how comfortable we've become with foregoing life in the interest of documenting it. How much are we missing solely in the interest of saving some visual record no one will likely ever care about or revisit? This entire concept first occurred to me when in 2014 I took my daughter to see Rush (Clockwork Angels tour). Most of the place was watching the entire concert through their phones. Have you watched any of the fan footage of any concert on YouTube? Is that really worth foregoing the experience? Any experience? So good for you! Congratulations - you experienced life!
  7. THAT! Needs absolutely nothing! Perfect! Seriously, a Sustain Block Blitz. Awesome! Dibs!
  8. Forget all this picture business; where can I see Squeeze, Adam Ant and Haircut 100? That would be killer! Was that last September or this coming September?
  9. Here's what I have concluded: the WordPress environment does permit direct pasting of photos, but the file size is very limited. I was able to post (paste) a small screenshot directly and that worked fine. Trying to paste a large photo (don't know the definition of "large"*) directly does not work. What does work is pasting from a photo hosting service like Imgur. I have had zero fails with multiple postings. If in Imgur, choose the Direct Link, paste it directly into the posting window and the board software resolves the link and displays the photo. * "Large:" I was able to find this information on the WordPress limits: Hope this helps. In conclusion, I think file hosting is the best means of getting there. I was reluctant to trust another hosting service after PhotoBucket absolutely destroyed the Internet ten or fifteen years ago, but so far Imgur has been fine.
  10. Hold the emotion and let the market work. It will... IF allowed to. And rate swaps - vilified by an ignorant media with absolutely no understanding of how credit markets work, attempting to establish a "them" bad guy - were and are an excellent tool for managing rate risk.
  11. I think Pete Thorn was my first introduction to Suhr. I played a couple of them at Walter Carter's years ago in Nashville and was amazed at the fret work. I have the Suhr ML Standard pickups in my Sherwood green partscaster - very Stratty with just a smidge of added umph. They've become my favorites for all around Strat use after trying a meelion different flavors (long story where I bought a Fender that wound up being just a bad sounding pile of firewood).
  12. Wondering if this would be a good replacement for this trem. It's not terrible, but it has some sort of sympathetic vibration going on with several notes. It's not audible through an amp, but I think that has to be detrimental to overall performance. It's a Mexican two-post that floats. Very tempted to plug the holes and install a spare Callaham vintage bridge I have in the parts bin. Does Vega make a two-post replacement, as well? ETA: did a bit of Googling. Yes, they do make a two-point replacement. But this led to a different question. This appears to be comprised of a plate mounted to the guitar body and pivot point(s) that move against that plate. Wait! Where have I seen that before. Oh, yes... Seriously? This is a reimagining of the Sustain Block Trem?
  13. It's the suffix (or lack thereof) on all the posted links that is the problem. Your link is https://imgur.com/a/iZVKKIQ - that is a link to a page. What you (and everyone having the same problem) need is a link that ends with a suffix, typically .jpg, .jpeg or .png. I clicked your link which led to the photo being displayed in a browser window. I then right clicked the picture and chose "copy image link." The resulting link was "https://i.imgur.com/P9zQAJ1.jpg" Pasting that into the comment window leads the board software to retrieve and display the image rather than the link. Hope this helps.
  14. All I did was click the link to display the photo in a browser window, right click the image and choose Copy Image Address and paste the address into this window. Looking at the pasted URL (using the Source button, top left of this window) shows the pasted URL is: "https://i.imgur.com/KMeOqdw.jpeg" compared to your URL, above, "https://imgur.com/a/RXIhLaT#KMeOqdw" Not sure how that URL relates, but clicking it does get me to the picture. It just seems to be read by the board as a hyperlink rather than the photo (notice my URL ends in .jpeg). Try displaying the photo in a browser window, right clicking the picture and choosing Copy Image Address, then paste that URL in the board window. That should work.
  15. As bad as I sound on a conventionally-fretted guitar, I can only imagine the levels of suck I could accomplish with that! I do love the micro-tonal stuff though. Anyone a fan of Pat Matheny's "Secret Story?"
  16. Would be very interested in this depending on model / spec. (they make several) - as you have time. I understand you're prepping for a show that's only a month away. 😉
  17. I just posted this 32.3 Mb schematic in another thread: but I didn't post the actual image, I posted a direct link to the image: "https://i.imgur.com/m67SYFn.jpg"
