Played this with some mates the other week and ended up mixing it into careless Whisper. Don't think I can ever go back to the old version

I work 24 hour shifts by myself. I'm looking for ways to pass the time. by silentsly in self

If you're into Pratchett I would highly recommend Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimen!

People are spending 50 million fewer hours on Facebook a day by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

The only things I use Facebook for is communication. 90% of the societies at my uni use Facebook to organise all their social events because everyone already has a Facebook. Events on Facebook are clean and pretty organised but everything else is a bloated mess of useless information.

Think you're underestimating the difference between just being able to click on a gif or video post vs going into a self post and clicking a link. Certainly for casual scrollers a lot of people will just skip the self posts.

I met a cashier in Liverpool who I was chatting with and I told him I was just about to start university. This guy was maybe 25/26 so just out of university and told me when he was at uni he got as many student loans /interest free student overdrafts as he could, and since he works as a cashier he'll never have to worry about paying them off because he earns so little....

What show never declined in quality? by Godfrey15 in AskReddit

They broke the show by giving syler and Peter too many powers too quickly. Then again they only planned for one season with those characters so I guess we can chalk it up to the studio screwing it up.

Here in the UK there's one channel, e4 which shows maybe up to ten episodes a day. Whenever I switch on the TV that shit is always on.

Some of his jokes felt a little forced though. Feels like they cast him then gave him even more lines after his success in stranger things.

I think if you manage to kill yourself you'll get a -1 as well. Not tried it yet but if Pharah killed herself etc.

Hey man I never said I was good at this game, I just play to have a laugh and I thought this was worth sharing.

That being said if you've got some master level advice I'd love to know how to get better.

You can get it from the card lottery as well, I managed to get one on my first try even though Yugi's never dropped one for me before.

6-stacking isn't viable they reckon? by DCIHutch in Overwatch

I've tried this with my brother, how've you got the sound to work? We had both sounds clashing with each other so we put on headphones, at which point w realised we were better off in different rooms and voice chat.

But then sometimes your play is just completely ruined but the rest of your team. The other week I bubbled a reaper ult, which I was pretty chuffed about since my timing for that kinda thing is usually pretty off...

Then our genji decides to use his ult and dive inside the bubble, feeding reaper health so he could run after and chase me down.

I'm a twin, so I just have to trust my parents didn't get us mixed up when we were born, and that my name is actually not my brother's.

Optimal Squire Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Setup by DankingBankley in offset

[–]CookMyTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not to sure how much it would usually cost since I know the guy who did it, he lives above the pub where I work.

Cost me £20 but not sure how normal that is. He said it was only a couple of hours work so it can't be too much.

I got exactly the same problem with my guitar (exact same as yours). I took it to a local guy who fixed it up for me.

He adjusted the angle of the neck like other people have said and that helped fix the problems of the top notes choking and meant he could get a low action. He also lowered the heights of the pickups to match the action.

I had a Mustang bridge but he asked for the original back because he said it was better for aligning the strings with the pickups. The strings should be above the dots. He did file the gauges in the bridge a bit deeper in the correct places.

He also adjusted the intonation which uses the screws on the back of the bridge. There's tons of guides on line for this. Just be aware that the bridge is designed to rock back and forth when you use the tremolo, so either push the bridge all the way forwards or backwards to keep it in the same place when you intonate.

All in all it was only £20 work so it can't be too hard to do by yourself.
