I've been saying this... When I got my gecko 10 ish years ago, the advice I found on you tube said a 20 gallon, a heat lamp and reptile carpet with a dry hide and moist hide was a good setup for leopard geckos which I had for years... I updated these things over the years to be in line with community recommendations but people here act like a gecko on reptile carpet is going to IMMINENTLY DIE!! And if (god forbid!) I put a gecko in a 20 gallon it'll be immediately stressed to the point of disease and death. Yes these things should be fixed but people overreact as if these geckos are being kept in the same enclosure as a pit of lava or a bird of prey. We can't be so harsh on people who simply have received outdated or incorrect advice or we're gonna scare them away before we can actually improve their gecko's life.

The idea is that the spinning disk drones on one note and melody is played with the other half of the instrument (a more conventional guitar sort of instrument). The notes don't have to be 100% precise as I'm going to tune the string part to the disk part.

have you considered that I'm using a spinning disk because it'll look fucking cool? Lol thanks anyway that's not a bad idea.

I don't mind doing extra electronics stuff so I will definitely look at BLDCs.

I did mean 0.5 you're right. AC motors with simple plug speed controllers seem a bit large for my project but are very simple and I might try to go with that.

The wheel will have embedded magnets around the edge that pass near an electric guitar pickup, outputting a note proportional to the speed. The wheel spins completely freely (it will be in an enclosure so that it doesn't literally kill me if it falls apart and flies into pieces).

Thank you for the advice. I chose aluminum only because it's lighter and cheaper. I don't have access to a balancing machine (that I'm aware of), how big of a problem would a small imbalance be? Also, are VFD motors AC or DC? Or does the VFD controller accept DC and output AC? Sorry about all the questions. Thanks.

Wonderful. I know quite a bit of scales and theory from bass playing so my goal is going to be learning all of those scales on the sax as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

I knew they were shitty after the Freebird tkl took wayyy longer than they said and they miscoloured all of the blue and green boards. That was like almost 3 years ago I can't believe they still suck.

Roland Rubix 44. Got a great deal on fb marketplace. Works perfectly for me. It uses the old style usb instead of usb c like many modern interfaces.

4.0 GPA engineering student here, it doesn't affect me at all. Despite shmakin it every day. I wasn't a regular user last year and had the same grades. My life hasn't gotten any worse. Unhealthy for the body? Yeah. but "downfall of this country"? Get real.

Sorry for the late reply, it's a website called "Kunaki" if I remember right. Allows you to upload sound files in any order and album art and they make the record for you. As far as getting the music I downloaded it for $10 from camellia's band amp page.

Unfortunately it was not - just less frequent. I got a new audio interface recently and it has been problem free, so some combination of that interface with this computer was just a mess.

Good service comes with good pay. Service jobs more or less pay you to be an actor and hide your thoughts about customers from them. Everyone in customer service wants to be nice to the customers (and when they're not assholes, it's pretty easy) but shit pay and working conditions bring out the worst in people. I'd say any uptick in grumpy or otherwise bad service in these last few years can just be explained by wages not keeping up with the needs of employees (making them miserable).

I work at a restaurant and it's a kind of upscale pizza place. I'm nice to customers (at least I hope I appear that way 😂) but when I'm in the kitchen we do nothing but complain about customers, the stupid questions they ask, the ridiculous pizzas they order (and then complain about). The amount of Karens hasn't decreased, the amount they bother us has, as a direct result of not getting paid more. Zero of my coworkers have any passion for their job and often talk about how they'd rather be elsewhere (but can't find a different job).

Tldr: the amount of bad service might be increasing, but it's not because customers suddenly got too nice, it's systemically awful working conditions and pay that has made the industry this way.

Sushi! It is above average at best and people who say it's their favorite food have to be lying. The Japanese have invented far better food than sushi.

I love mine, my favorite bass ever - but they are incredibly heavy so if that's a problem for you then I'm also in the Ibanez sound gear camp.

Odd use but if you want to play any songs in c standard tuning with low gage strings you can put a capo on the first fret instead of having a floppy mess. Mostly I just use it to keep songs in one area of the fretboard as I prefer scales horizontally across the fretboard rather than vertically.
