I detect the hand of the master luthier, and one of his fat finger specials.

Are the pots on a shielded surface? If so, the bodies are already grounded through the shielding, assuming that there is either one pot body connected to ground or the jack socket ground connects to the shielding. If you then connect the pots together, you could create ground loops, explained in more detail here: https://www.fralinpickups.com/2018/11/12/understanding-guitar-grounding/

Get a long velcro cable tie and use it to hold the bug on your strap?

Two 1x8s and a 2x8 for playing Wembley stadium?

Because there is a reactionary lobby in the UK, and old f*ckers refuse to move to the metric system because they're morons who hate change, instead insisting that young people brought up in the metric system use the stupid ludicrous primitive imperial system instead. We've got as far as degrees Celcius and selling food and petrol in grams and litres, but we have such oddities as the jack length in indoor bowls being given in metres but bowl distances from the jack being given in feet and inches, and petrol being sold in litres to enable us to drive along roads measured in miles at speeds measured in miles per hour. And if R*f*rm should by some dreadful mischance win the next election, expect this all to go backwards, the metric system to be unravelled, and currency to go back to LSD (which is what we may have to take to try and escape the dreadful reality). As you can tell, I don't have any strong feelings on the subject.

I prefer the "traditional" woven look.

Same here. Especially if you're recording in the control room (or at home) with a lot of electronic gear around you.

Isn't it a velcro wrap around a two-part handle? Less convenient than a one piece handle which my older version of the case has, although it does mean that the handle cradles the case rather than the case hanging from the handle. Not an issue with the light headless basses and headed guitars I carry in it, but possibly an issue with a Les Paul.

If you were prepared to overlook pedantry, you could have celebrated twice. Like I did.

Someone on a newsgroup I'm on has been using Claude Code to diagnose issues in code, as well as generating code.

You mean the way that we have a look for a program that does something very similar to what we want to do, copy it, and hack it about a bit until it does what we want?

Does he mean "use a time amp! = Essential!" or "use a time amp != Essential!" as the two have opposite meanings[1] and you need to be sure the space is in the right place, which, given his failure to write "your" instead of "you're", seems only about 50% likely. And are time amps going to succeed tonewoods as the next big debating point? Can you get timewoods? [1] They do to a programmer anyway

It does mean that you're not stuck with a single baked-in amp and cab sound, you can use different ones by using NAM/IR or other modelling.

Nonsense, it's the tonewood neck, stainless frets, and the tonemetal skeleton of the guitar body. And the toneair between the tonemagnet tailpiece and the tonemagnet "bridge".
