    Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

    Not impossible, but I use bursts of about 30s max, it doesn’t even get overly hot. Otherwise, something even scarier can happen - it may case harden 😮. Jokes aside, I’ve only done it for very specific occasions, perhaps a few times in my whole life. I’d invest in a kiln or just buy dry lumber to start with.



  • It’s hard separating a country/regime from people. One could argue regime is elected by the people. Things are not that simple, but it is the simplest way of reasoning, and thus a way most people will use when faced with such a decision. Yes - I agree, blame the system, not the people, but someone needs to be held accountable for the system as well. But further - if ever Americans need saving, they will likely need saving only from themselves, I think it’s unlikely they will ever be jeopardized by anyone other than other Americans.



  • I mean - any excuse for a party, I guess. But unlike Christmas, this is not nearly as culturally as important. No reason to break the tradition, but also - it’s not super important, it’s not even a holiday. I for one would be happy to switch to the new calendar for Christmas, like Greeks and Romanians. Currently, only Serbia and Russia of the Orthodox churches celebrate by old calendar.







  • Ooof, did not know about this. I held Louis to high regard for his work and this somewhat mars his reputation. I will from now on be cautious about Louis Rosmann, though I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, provided he is more careful in the future. He’s always been a bit of an abrasive character, which is not always bad, but he needs to be held accountable, like everybody else.
