Wannan bet?
The decision of the Corrupt Roberts Court will depend on Alito finding a 16th Century British Privy Council doctrine.

Addendum-
Tried A/B test with same guitar & same settings with cab as closed back and open (rear surface area, about 46%). This speaker sounds much better in a closed box. Highs not as stringent. Bass and mids more focused.

Think it was photoshopped or something.
One of several memes for guitar players who value their instruments over wife, family or possessions.
Never, ever leave the guitars behind.

Played around a little more.
Blues Jrs are known to be loud for their size.
Into the modified P cab, at 25% Vol & Master Vol it is Loud for my old ears in a room. Can easily fill small club/coffee shop.
Think I'm going for the highs defuser and give a try.

Just doing what they are paid to do.

All subjective. What sounds good to *you*. Add in the variables. Each amp interacts with speakers differently and different guitars interact with amps differently. Been buying "vintage" stuff (ie: old crap) for yrs and trying to make it sound good to me, cheap.

As mentioned, moving the speaker helped with the "boxiness" of the original installation. Jensens are known for emphasizing highs and there is some harshness. I'll work with it some and if find too much may go other speaker or try Weber Speakers Beam Blocker, which disperses highs. A cheap tool.

Common issue with model, though Jr IV has better sound due to revised tone stack. But everyone online has their own best recommendation as to which speaker to use. Before I went that route, wanted to see if could make stock speaker usable. Looks like it & by making the Jr amp only, adds flexibility.

Left speaker out of Jr making it a "head" for use with 1x12 or 2x12 on hand. 8 ohm each.
So how did it do?
A 50-75% improvement. Still has some of Jensen harshness but better bass response. Better mid tones. Very, very usable and don't engender the disappointment of stock set up.
End.

But instead of playing whack a mole trying to find one I like (and $$$ involved) what if its the cab size/depth?
So pulled the speaker out of Jr and Peavey. Put the Jensen in P cab. Deeper, thicker wood, closed back. Plus 8 ohm in it means don't have to use an impedance matcher to run cab.

Ok.
My mistake.
But what does it say about Fox practice that a fake fits right in with their regular shenanigans and few turn a hair?

Right. Its the "Others" being hurt, not me.
Until its not. Farmers going under. Factories laying off hundreds. Kitchen Table bills coming due.
*Then might see a shift*. But maybe not if Corporate Media can shift the blame elsewhere.

I know its fake as to what's her name is saying.
Not fake to viewers.
Fox doesn't make mistakes like this. An editor or producer told the tech to type that in. So that is going to be the next "Party Line". Wall St is in the hands of Commies willing to lose Billions of $ to make the Convict look bad

Can recommend these.
The archeology is dated but interpretation of symbolic language of culture and myth is very good. Especially Primitive and Occidental Mythology for our Western culture.

I live in one of these small towns & know them quite well.
Some of what you say is true but some exaggerated. Isolation and racial or religious homogeneity is becoming less and less in those towns. In my area, certainly true from 1900 on.
Seeing how people are treated one on one vs Others out there

But the same people who seem to be motivated by "hate" can be the most kind and generous people in One on One interaction.
I think its a purposeful effort to create "Others" in their minds. Less than human and a danger. Animals.
Nixon & 60s Culture War. Buchannon, Moral Majority, etc...

Some of these people are quite sophisticated in handling millions of $ in assets. Yet, will put all that aside and uncritically accept the most ridiculous assertions.
Why? Can only assume they touch something deep inside. To say "white supremacy" or hatred is lazy & facile. How that got there ???

Have fun with modern "practitioners" of Magik or Wicca from acting on mistakes made in the Renaissance & Edwardian England, where everything Old was taken to be valuable.
Translating Hermes Trismegistus was important than Plato & Aristotle in N Italy. Golden Dawn & political earth magic...

As an aside-
Who remembers the term "Grok" something is from a Heinlein science fiction novel.

Have some interest in Dee from book, the Queen's Conjurer & scholarly work of Francis Yates who documented the rise of science and magic in the Renaissance going hand in hand.
Ex: Dee with his spiritualism/astrology and he published first English Translation of Euclid with diagrams.

This shows the success of decades of propaganda fed into their consciousness. Ideas that a kid who wants to change genders 1000 mi away is more important than the economic security of the farmer's family. That a man who spent yrs lying will suddenly be truthful & has their interests at heart, etc...

Watching the coal trains go by + been by coal terminals at Norfolk area, know they are quite extensive.
But lots and lots of freight moves North on East Coast interstates, wondering if coming freight decreases on West coast will be seen East.

If you are looking for admission of being wrong or shame at being fooled from MSM, look elsewhere. The reporters & editors were *paid* to be willingly deceived. It was their job to legitimize Trump and his proposed policies. Particularly NYT, which has failed the Nation multiple times this century.

The best use case for Gen AI is MS Office. To summarize the transcript of a 3 hour meeting about which shade of puke green pantone color the new logo t-shirts for the company barbecue should be. Or clean up my fucking English by replacing the word fuck for a SFW noun, adjective, or adverb.
