I’ve never played a baritone guitar.  Seems like they are pretty large.  My biggest is a Martin HD28.  Dimension wise and scale I wonder how they would compare?  What kind of music do you play on it?  I’m assuming with a capo you could play anything.

I'm not a guitarist.  But, iirc, the acoustic guitar solos on Glenn Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston", were played on tenor guitar, bringing a special magic to those songs; a tenor guitar has a unique and beautiful place in the audio spectrum.  

Did not know that. I’m a huge Glenn Campbell fan.  As a guitarist he had some serious chops.

Thinking about stocking up on meat before it gets even more expensive.

I'm thinking about selling some of our meat reserves at a lucrative meat market and cashing in on the "Lets go Brandon" appreciation of meat assets.

I should take one for the team and buy a freezer and stock up right now.  That's the best way I know of to get meat prices to come down!

Then Amazon can track what you have and let your health insurance company know so they can raise your rates.  Plus when someone in Atlanta cannot afford the meat, they can send someone to take it from you and send to the other person.

Probiotic fiber is BS as a probiotic unless you eat your pasta raw.

Maybe it's "Pre" biotic, or "Post" biotic, or even "Syn" biotic. The multitudes of BS are increasing.

Bullsh!t actually is a probiotic.  Truth.

Pasta with squid ink and exogenous ketones is the best.

Also gonna stock up on electricity since that’s also going to be a problem.  I found a great deal on expired, original ray o vac D cells at the dollar tree.

Probiotics are how gut bacteria gets in there.  Not like they evolve from a primordial soup in your gut. 

On another extreme, google fecal transplant.

Haven't thought of Steak-umms in a long while.  Used to eat them as a kid.

Now I want to start a "Steak-umms...How I do it" thread!

No way!  I would be afraid my privacy would be breached as soon as I hid a body in it!  There are some things I won't compromise on.

buy opaque bags, problem solved.

Probiotics as a commercial product are one species, whereas your gut bacteria are hundreds. The mfrs have zeroed in on just a few common species to sell as additives, and there is no evidence that any of them are particularly helpful to a problem you might be having. Should you be coming off a dose of serious antibiotics and need a new gut biome, then yes, fecal transplant is your thing.

Yeahhhh generally speaking.  Most all probiotics are mixes, but not nearly as diverse as poop by orders of magnitude.

I'll drop this food related bomb here, as good a place as any

and you are correct, there's little evidence to suggest any over-the-counter probiotic is helpful.  So it's like almost all of the other homeopathic crap they sell
