    For me, it's so I can read information from my screen while I am on the phone. I can pull up my calendar and schedule appointments or look up an email and share the information with my conversation. I also just hold my phone to my face when I don't need to look at the screen.

    Surprising surprise sketching sleeping skepticism. That took a few tries but was quite fun.

    Pick a guitar that gets you excited to play. If you have access to a music store go in and hold the guitars. You will figure out quickly what shapes fit your hands/body better. Pay attention to the neck shape/size/thickness. Everyone prioritizes different things in a guitar. So I don't think anyone can actually answer this question for you. You also haven't told us what kind of music you play. That might dictate what type of pickups, bridge, & body shape we recommend.

    The only real thing I recommend on any guitar you choose is to have it setup by a guitar tech or learn how to set it up yourself. It isn't hard, but takes a bit of time and care to get the string height, intonation, neck relief, and pickup height just right. This will improve any guitar in any price range. Also remember to always lube your nut.

    youshouldknow You Should Know YSK: The term "Genuine Leather", it is not to reassure you that their product is made of leather, rather its the name of the lowest grade of leather a company can use.

    It is something people think they want because it is more expensive and in higher trim levels in cars. But when your car is parked in the hot sun the leather feels like it burns and in the winter is freezing to the touch. Leather also doesn't breath so you end up sweating more and if your are not wearing long pants your leg will stick to the seat. Cloth is so much better functionally. Cloth also lasts longer than the fake leather they put in cars. Cloth won't peel like the fake leather.

    I had a moto z3 for 4 years and loved it. It was half the price of other similar spec phones. It ended up started to feel slow as apps and websites consistently maxed out the ram. I switched to a edge+ (2022) and it really has some horsepower, but I have a handful of big issues and might not go back to Motorola for my next phone. The Motorola brand usb-c to 3.5mm jack dongle that works with my z3 doesn't work with the edge+. How does that make any sense. They literally sell this accessory on their website. I also can't connect to devices with ad hoc wifi or Bluetooth connections. I couldn't setup wyze smart bulbs or nest smoke detectors. I had to pull out the old z3 to do it. For the life of me I can't figure out the problem. Those two issues are pretty deal breaking. The other issue is the box says Dolby Atmos but I can't seem to find any info or use case.

    Happy to be here

    I'm excited to try something new. The reaper community is one of the strongest reasons I have to use the tool. The community support has helped me learn and use the DAW to create my art and express myself. Thank you.
