Re: How to best approach amp repair for a living...
I'll get right on my soapbox for this nonsense. Huh? I don't know what schools you are familiar with, but ours is teaching the hell out of some damn useful and challenging stuff. My junior in high school is taking Calculus, AP Chemistry, AP History, Physics and AP English. He has not balanced a checkbook, but I am quite sure he'd figure it out in 10 minutes or less. If anyone over the age of 16 can't figure out how to do laundry on their own, then we should blame it on the socialist propaganda being pushed by the schools? Nah, I'd blame it on the stupidity of the individual. WTF! I am appalled by that level of thought(or lack of) and paranoia. I already am aware that it's an insidious plot by the high cabal, but we've been through this before, haven't we?None of which they teach in schools these days, just socialist propaganda.
I wish so many people would quit being god damned victims...it would be nice if everyone stepped up and took responsibility for their own circumstances.
And now back to making a living doing amp repair...
Edited to fix spelling.

This place is awesome because it's 99.999% apolitical.

It could be even better.

*rant on* Our charter school is PDG (pretty damn good, at least compared to the bulk of California public schools). But they still subscribe to the state line on drugs, OK? Which is, all drugs are vile, evil, and horrifying, except alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine, which are OK if you're a grown up. So when I admitted to my kids that I may have occasionally inhaled cannabis, they thought my teeth were going to fall out, I'd become insane, and go immediately to jail, casting them out on the street. *rant off*

Yes, let's blame the school for that too. We chose to deal with that at home.

These issues all belong in the home. School is for the stuff of R's, as stated so well earlier.
That is a certain.

Opinions (especially political opinions) are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink. They cause us to categorize and demonize people, whether they be liberals, conservatives, socialists, libertarians, bronies, or even those cute and lovable illuminati.rdjones wrote:Anyone for alt.guitar.amps ?Reeltarded wrote:This place is awesome because it's 99.999% apolitical.

On the plus side, the closest TAG has gotten to a religious war is probably over the sound of different capacitors.
But if TAG members are concerned about the "public school socialist propaganda program," I'm certainly willing to bring it up at my next illuminati/new world order meeting.
Wait, you didn't think the "lefty" in my name was because I was left handed, did you?

Yeah, kind of funny how usenet was a bit of a psycho magnet. I think probably from the sense of anonymity, and the wild west demeanor.Reeltarded wrote:Any decent nagravation (nav) aide would tell you to get the Hell off of usenet!

Seems there's a bit more civility in smaller online communities like TAG.
It's an old southern saying, that has to do more with not sleeping with co-workers, but I think it applies to those of us who realize the true value of TAG, and that saying is that "you don't shit where you eat."

I stopped eating for about 4 years so I could shit all over usenet.
