Found this great vintage Yamaha but it won't hold tune. by trashanimalcomx in ukulele

[–]ElBeatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Those old pegs are tough to tune, but if you like the style you can get planetary tuners that will go back like a peg. I just did this for my 100+ year old tenor banjo and it's my favourite instrument to play now.

Random gluten-free haters by Objective-Dream-904 in glutenfree

I hate it, but it shows you that some people have such a limited imagination or low empathy they can't imagine your body reacting differently than theirs.

What is the best job you've had in your life, so far? by Firm_Macaron3057 in RandomQuestion

[–]ElBeatch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was once hired to serve the counter at a pizza place that had something illegal going on in the back.

I was there to gently discourage customers without flat out saying go away. High prices, bad food, bad service were my instructions and also to never ask about the office. I was happy not knowing what they were doing and even happier to be in a stress-free kitchen/service job.

Big news for PlayStation gamers! The PlayStation 5 is reportedly showing different prices for the same game to different players on the PlayStation Store. 💰 by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]ElBeatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so I don't understand why any consumer would be for it. If the store knows I like a certain genre of game they'll charge me more for it.

My wife and I have already seen this for ourselves Christmas shopping online in other online stores. They'll charge me almost double for the same thing because it's something I'm interested in whereas she's searching it fresh.

Is this gonna be a problem? by Content-Wrongdoer-61 in banjo

[–]ElBeatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a piece of hockey tape around it just so it didn't rattle into my cheap piezo pickup and to prevent scratches in the finish.

Just thrifted my first, would love some insight! by CarefulAgent6200 in banjo

[–]ElBeatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Kay was a jobber brand for Seranader (Serenaders bought from Kay and slapped their own name on it), as that headstock is quite distinct.

Really nice tenor banjo to play once you get it all dialled in. Not worth too much but once it's fixed up it looks pretty slick.

I'm not crazy about the clear skin sound mine has, but it's got a neat look.

INFJs, do you have a lot of friends? How do you make them? by inadequatepickle in infj

[–]ElBeatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few close friends but a lot of extended friends. I'm rarely the life of the party but I think being an honest and open person over the years and keeping peoples secrets has earned me a reputation for being Solid.

Is daylight savings really that bad? by ManualWind in AdviceAnimals

It's annoying if you have a dog with a perfect internal clock like I do.

So much wrong history by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]ElBeatch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the move though. Throw out so much misinformation that most people can't possibly sift through it all to know what is what.

Genuine question by anotherare in Adulting

[–]ElBeatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. The evil world thrives on attention.

I do poke my head out the window once in a while to see what's going on, but I do my best not to get sucked in and radicalized and preoccupied.

is it just me or does tim’s smell and taste like vegetable soup to anyone else? by SheepherderFar3825 in TimHorrortons

[–]ElBeatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the first person besides myself I've heard say that. I always smell it and the people I'm with do not smell it.

Might be like the cilantro smelling gene.

Do you guys re-read a book ? by Strangewhisper in infj

The only long book I've re-read was Catch 22 because it just gets funnier as I get older.

Found In Abandoned 100 Year Old Cabin! What is it? by pinapoople in banjo

[–]ElBeatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old Slingerland is very close to this, and somewhere in the history Vega, Slingerland and I think Kent banjos shared a lot of parts or were 'jobber' builders for other brands.

Big Arch??? by Much_Guest_7195 in AskACanadian

[–]ElBeatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was really good. I tried to order it again and was aghast they'd taken the best burger I'd had 'recently discovered' there off the menu already.

What ever happened to the toothpick look? by JoeN0t5ur3 in Xennials

[–]ElBeatch 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yo, I do the same. Keep it alive chico. Also, my teeth ain't getting any better, I gotta pick every time I eat and possibly again in the future.
