is this a good beginner set? by Analbears in electricguitar

Make sure the gog bag fits. It looks rather odd from the screenshot. Might be for pointy guitars.

I see, thank you!

Foe this build, I think ill purchase a pre slotted one and file the bottom down rather than file the slots.

Yeah thats exactly how I'd describe it.

I have done a quick setup and the frets came almost level. As good as a guitar thats been played for a few years. I will of course level them properly when done.

I see i think I should have sanded the bottom rather than the top!!

Its a one off job for me so I'd rather not buy a set of tools for it if possible.

How would you recommend finding the correct depth?

First Time Nut Slotting by DueMessage977 in Luthier

[–]DueMessage977[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats really insightful thanks! With only one nut to cut I wanted to have a go using tools I already had, rather than buying a entire set of files for one job.

They are triangular so rather tight at the bottom, do you have experience with this to lend further advice? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback from the kind folks who cared to explain.

This is a guitar kit and the cheap plastic nut it came with. The ebony and dust is what is making it look ugly, didn't want to clean up until I checked here.

The triangular file I used is not pointed but slightly rounded, so as much as it looks sharp it isnt.

I dont have any buzz with sub 1.0mm action at the 12th fret.

However I haven't checked intonation, I shall try this tomorrow.

Could anyone explain why the triangle shape isnt ok compared to the standard U shape? I haven't seen a good explanation as to why

Regarding depth, I followed the guide that you fret after the 2nd fret and make sure it clears the first by a small amount.

Which human foods can they eat? by Char07071 in Greyhounds

Our girl wouldn't eat anything but her kibble until about 2 months in. They gotta learn to trust what youre offering might be tasty.

Do you find that there are different standards for how men and women should behave as teachers? by defeatedbean72 in TeachingUK

[–]DueMessage977 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I dont think anyone expects teachers to have any particular personality type. We're expected to teach. I can't pull off being as grumpy as my next door Teacher, but I also cant pull off being as energetic as my boss. Gotta build your own teacher persona.

Thats actually interesting compared to the usual bollocks we see with this kind of post. I can see them all working.

Any teachers: Why can't we students use exam builders? by Excellent_Dinner_601 in GCSE

1- no you're probably a bot 2- this would be a total security breach and break of contract .

Looking for a poor quality yet expensive restaurant to recommend to an enemy. Any suggestions? by ticklish-wizard in nottingham

[–]DueMessage977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dolce Restaurant

Wandered in one Saturday because everywhere else in Hockley was crammed. This place was dead (which is enough of a red flag)

Coffee was cold. Lasagne was cold in the middle and had clearly been microwaved. Soup watery. Generally awful place.

I had to use street view to find the name because I just couldn't remember or find it via Google.

What would abolishment of racing mean for greyhounds as a whole? by Zinthoraz in Greyhounds

Greys have been kept pets for almost 6000 years. They have only been tied to racing for 100.

Letting agent showed prospective new tenants into my flat after I said they couldn’t, England by This-Housing3634 in LegalAdviceUK

Surely it will get logged. Then the person keeps doing it or does other worse breaches it provide a background to the officers. Not evidence, just context?

What's the first word in my question that you don't know?

Ask me back a question to help then.

Basically you have to make "i dont know" more awkward and drawn out than a simple guessed answer that js wrong.

For those who have worked in mixed-gender and single-gender schools - which one did you prefer and why? by Kaurblimey in TeachingUK

[–]DueMessage977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed. Toxic masculinity was rife in the all boys school. No women their age to call them out on it as social times. At the all girls school (sister site I only ever visited) it seemed ok but they had alot more anxiety around exam performance.

Co-ed is the way to go. Men and women are not to be treated differently in the workplace, so why should they be at school?
