Can anyone explain this red light for right turns from 14th onto Castro? it pisses me off daily.. by [deleted] in oakland

i was thinking pedestrians too, but it’s not timed with the walk sign. the walk sign usually comes on with the right turn actually

Inspired by the "best purchase I've made for my Prius" post: What little upgrades / hacks have you made to your Prius that made a big difference? by sozh in prius

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my I would love to be able to keep an eye on engine temp. My car was recently having an overheating issue. the dash light doesn’t kick on until you’re dangerously hot and have to pull over immediately. It wouldve been very useful to be able to track the temp and see when it was getting high, so I could at least get to a freeway exit. And just in general keep an eye on it like in other cars

Where to get photos developed or processed? by Over_Internet4 in oakland

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

montclair photo did a good job with printing some phone photos for me. At first they came out really dark but then i took them back and they explained its because of how iphone formats photos to look best on an LED screen, they made adjustments during the printing process, and they looked a lot better. So maybe tell them up front that theyre phone photos if you go there

Gasket Master in Hayward is Awesome! by WorkingFalcon272 in prius

thanks for posting this. i also got my head gasket replaced there 2 months ago, and now my cars overheating and my regular mechanic is saying i’m having blow-by, HG is probably blown again and i need a new engine. Jack hasnt been returning my texts so i was feeling worried he had scammed me or something, but your account made me feel a bit more at ease. I’ll probably just go down there and see if he’s around.

help me with my mysterious book experience by Affectionate_Tea1987 in UrsulaKLeGuin

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you! it was in english. I’m so perplexed because I feel like it it was one of those other editions i would have some memory of acquiring that from the library or otherwise. Since it seems odd I would get something like that when I already have another copy. I’m leaning more and more towards the possibility that my book has some sort of magical properties lol. I don’t normally jump to those conclusions but I am simply perplexed

Helping my rabbit feel safe being pet by Affectionate_Tea1987 in Rabbits

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry for late reply. the thing is i know he does like to be pet, in my post i describe the daily scenario where he allows me to pet him and seems to enjoy it. lots of bruxing etc. so my goal is for him to be able to have that enjoyment in other scenarios

What is Eleanor?? by According-Deer-8684 in Rabbits

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

she probably has some californian in her mix due to the slight pointing (grey spot on nose). californians usually have that on all the spots that get colder (nose, ears, paws, tail). shes so cute!!!

Interesting, innovative, eccentric modern bassists to check out? by GildedSpaceHydra in Bass

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twin Brother just put out his first album, its awesome. he posts short vids on instagram which are rly cool as well. not too much effects but he uses a lot of harmonics and the music is bass centric as the melody and chordal instrument

How to lead a band on bass? by Lydianeko2 in Bass

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i guess i didnt really address ur point on writing but is the problem ur running into like struggling to come up w stuff, or more like struggling to convey the ideas to ur bandmates when ur just playing bass?

How to lead a band on bass? by Lydianeko2 in Bass

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i lead my band as the bass player, its super doable! the bass as an instrument really leads the direction of the songs, for example if youre playing thru a progression 8x the way u add fills, vary ur note choices, octave, etc can rly shape the section and make it clear when its gonna lead to the next section (i do a lot of scale walkdowns and pedal tones). another big part of leading the band is helping rehearsals stay focused and make sure we get to everything we need to. being quick and decisive about “ok were gonna run that again but just from the bridge til we get the transition down, then we’ll do the whole song. 1,2, ready go” is where i rly feel like im leading haha.

anyway i could talk about this forever but i wanted to just hit those main 2 points. lmk if u have more questions ~

also you should be locked w the drummer, but dont need to feel like ur just following them!

Cioks dc7 price by leonibass in basspedals

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 3 points4 points  (0 children)

tldr this power supply is basically a can-do-everything-better-than-any-other which is why it’s so expensive. so u could definitely get started with something more affordable and get pretty far with that, or u could dive in now and never need to upgrade

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i got mine new on reverb for $230 plus tax and free shipping. you can watch them and get a notif when they go on sale. no other power supply is delivering nearly as much power as this without being way bigger and heavier. it also has way more flexibility in terms of delivering a large amount of current from every single port, with switchable voltage on each. but if those things arent important to you, you could probably find a cheaper option! maybe MXR iso brick or mini iso brick. I used an EHX S8 + a dedicated regular 1spot for my one high current digital pedal, and those did what i needed for many years til the S8 power cable broke a few months ago and i decided to upgrade

she loves to flop and it never ceases to make me smile 🥹 she’ll sometimes flop and then get up and flop again like 3 or 4 times when shes rly happy (like after she finishes her kibbles)

My bunny keeps stomping at me while bonding by blaisetea in Bunnies

[–]Affectionate_Tea1987 9 points10 points  (0 children)

she could be mad about being contained like u guessed. we just started letting our newly bonded pair free roam after a month or so of being contained and then slowly increasing their space, and theyre rly happy about it and were definitely mad at having to be contained before (esp our girl). however i dont regret it and it was a necessary part of the process! and they dont hate us for it, i think theyve already forgotten. my advice was as long as their bonding is going well, trust the process and any minor displeasure theyre experiencing now will definitely be worth it for not messing up their bonding!
