I'll let Mr. Jury or any of the rest of the aluminati pile on about this but I did a lot of heat shielding in the sauna w/ larger industrial baking sheets from a restaurant supply. Weirdly much, much cheaper than a blank for a smaller size at a big box hardware

16 years w the same company too. I imagine my skill set is so atrophied as ive been focused on being a people lead i dont know if its even worth the bother trying to stay in tech.

Welp. As of 1:30 pm ET I have joined the club.

Anyone looking for a IT Help Desk manager, slide into PMs I guess.

Talk me out of SELLING a guitar: Odessa Deadbeat. It was a fairly custom deal, wasn't too expensive all things considered, but since I got my '73/74 Tele Deluxe, I just haven't been playing most of my other guitars.

2x what FMGARTH said. I've owned a number of esoteric Japanese solid-state amps in the past and none of them were anything particularly useful. Just weird or cool looking.

I have no real strong feelings one way or another to be clear, just sharing the news. Ben made a lot of points about how it's not quite as cut-and-dried as it sounds.
