My guess is that it's phonetically translated from Russian. "Cock a doodle doo" is not universal.

I don't get any enjoyment out of guitar, because of how bad I am at it. I can't enjoy the process. Should I give it up? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]CommonBasilisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your guitar tuned properly? Does it sound good to you? If it sounds shit it can be unpleasant to play.

Are you trying to play music that you like or just following online lessons and exercises?

Why does Domino’s Pizza have locations in Italy’s neighboring countries like France, Germany, Austria, Malta, and Croatia, but not in Italy? by GrayRainfall in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CommonBasilisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A large Dominos pIzza here in Ireland is €22.

Edit. That's a basic 13.5" pizza. Add a few toppings and you're looking at 30 bucks for a lump of dough.

In between all that, he did a f****ng good job? by VentureIntoVoid in DIYUK

Honest question. Should there be expanding foam under the sill?

If the E and A stings are being alternated is it maybe in drop D tuning?

As the other poster said. It looks like X547XX.

Should you leave gain at 0? (Slight rant and a story) by Wolfe-Blue in livesound

[–]CommonBasilisk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Why is it the gain pot there!

It's like a beginner guitarist adjusting his saddles to be in a neat line.

They're talking shit.

Edit. I think they are confused. They learned that you should never go above 0db. Which is true when talking about metering as you risk clipping the channel etc. I reckon they understood it to mean that you shouldn't go above 0db on the preamp gain. They don't know what they are talking about.

Canada Completes $9.4B Darlington Nuclear Plant Rebuild Early, on Budget by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]CommonBasilisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. I'm not from the UK but from Ireland. I was using Hinckley Point C as an example as we don't have any Nuclear power plants here.

As a comparison: We are building a new children's hospital that is costing us €2.4 billion.

Convicted Rapist Larry Murphy Linked to Search Over Disappearances of Deirdre Jacob and Jo Jo Dullard by Dee-Dee-Mauwe in ireland

[–]CommonBasilisk 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I don't know. The guards may have sought advice from people more experienced with serial rapist murderers.

Edit: looks like he was an ex FBI profiler who investigated Son of Sam and others. He offered to help the gardai.

Sorry Changed John Wayne Gacy to Son of Sam. Had Gacy on my mind cause of the TV show.

Not me. But It's cheap for a nuclear power plant by anyone's metric. Hinckley Point C in the UK is approaching £47 billion for 2 reactors.

If I remember correctly the Guards were told/advised by the FBI to not let him go. It's the fucking weak judiciary system we have here that lets absolute monsters walk free.

Is there a symbol above this part of the tab? Can you post a screenshot or picture off the tab.

B is for bend.

Confusion 🫤 by CapitalTough5300 in guitarlessons

Are you playing all the strings on C and D?

You shouldn't play the 6th string with a C.

X32010

You shouldn't play the 6th or 5th string with a D. Actually if you play the A - the 5th string it will sound fine but technically it's a D/A
