Hi there! I’m just a guy looking for a place to be and stuff.
Please no, I’m trying to fill every cubic inch of this world with Pestilent Mercury.
“What role did you get? How did you get it?”
“Please count to 10.”
“… um, I’ve run out of fingers.”
“Welcome Chosen Undead… hang on, I think there’s some beers under the bed. Can I get you one?”

I can’t remember which model it was, but wasn’t there a MacBook Pro that had 4 USB-C ports, only two of which supported Thunderbolt? Want to connect your monitor to the right side of the machine? Well… tough shit, I guess.
I wish there was a list. I’m on a mission to collect strats with short scale lengths. My advice, create a doc and write down every model you hear about, and some day there will be a list.
tl;dr for the rest of this: I can’t think of anything that does everything you want :(
The issue I’ve run into is there’s not a lot of factory-build 24.75 scale strats (there’s a few partscasters that come up on Reverb and eBay from time to time). Another problem: shorter scale strats often have 3/4 sized bodies. Hardtail, 24.75 scale, non-wrap around bridges are like hens’ teeth.
Off the top of my head… the Squier Vintage Modified Thinline Telecaster gets you part of the way there – it’s a single/single pickup, 7.25" radius fretboard guitar, so that doesn’t quite fit.
Ibanez’s AZ Essentials are 25" scale, 10" radius, but have tremolos.
From Fender look for their Boxer series; their Aerodyne series (but double check, there’s some 25.5"s in there), and quite a few other Fender Japan models, come to think of it. But most have round fretboards and tremolos.
On the other end, the ~2009 Schecter C-1 Custom has a 24.75 scale, has an 11" to 16" compound radius, and HH pickups… but, it’s got a tune-o-matic style bridge (though it’s a string-through body).
There’s the PRS SE EG HSS. It’s a 25" scale length, 10" radius… but it’s got a strat-style tremolo.
You might have to compromise, wait a long time, or build/mod one yourself I’m afraid. Good luck, whatever you choose though!
RS-23ewwwww

Depends on the form of meditation. For general, workplace-endorsed “mindfulness” meditation, you allow yourself to think whatever you think, but instead of reacting to it, you merely observe and acknowledge that you’re having that thought. You don’t let yourself get carried along with it though. You let it pass and let another thought come along, observing your own mind. Other types of meditation are about striving to think nothing, and it’s expected that you’ll fail, and take years to accomplish that after a great deal of practice.
Nailed it.
“Dammit kid, take the deal – we really need that cream cheese back here.”
“All right fellow rebels… now that we’ve all infiltrated the Empire by joining as Storm Troopers, it’s time to enact our plan.”
“Aim to miss, sir?”
“You’re goddamn right.”
In the grimdark future there can be no grass roots, only astroturf.
Feel free to correct me if I’ve misunderstood your point, but are you saying that “Greece” in a historical context is not a unitary entity? But how can that be so when the very thing that creates this “unbroken line of Greekdom” you refer to is the the entire concept of a “History of Greece” that reaches back thousands of years in the first place?
If there is no unitary Greek identity that reaches back from the present to the Greeks of the past, then a history of Greece that includes the Roman conquest, the Ottomans, Byzantium, would be absurd (and shame on the Wikizens for including it in one conceptual lump as well, I guess).
You could say the same of Britain after 1066, or France after Henry VI. Or of Egypt after the merging of the kingdoms, or after the Ptolomys, etc; and yet most Egyptians would push back at the suggestion that there is no direct line from the age of pharaohs to the present day.
Being a nation with the same name, occupying at least a portion of its original geography, populated by many of the decedents of the same people – well, that grants a country some pretty big ontological leeway. Who gets to decide whether the Greeks of today share the history and are of a piece with their ancient predecessors? Well the Greeks do, presumably. I mean, that’s just the way I see it, I might be off on a wild tangent for all I know.
I guess this means I’ll need yet another, different colored wastebin just for coffee now. I mean I’ll do it if it helps, but I can only fit so many receptacles in my kitchen. Meh, I’ll just put the rest in the twins’ room.
Internet-ready
Nice! I’m going to have a look at my old HS yearbook and see who’s opposite page…
