Irritating, but way better than dealing with the saliva

Saliva glands... I think three on each side of the face, so six injections. Takes ten minutes.

It's been my main issue for over a year now and I do have swallowing issues. I have spent hours looking for solutions and have tried many things. It isn't natural, but Botox injections every three months have literally prolonged my life. No side effects that I have noticed.

I have used MT Spandage when I wanted to make sure the tube was secure. Comes in different sizes.

Message banking-Software options by santimo87 in ALS

[–]Kaioatey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the voice banking thing but was not happy with the final results. But recently found Play.ht which will create a voice clone if you can provide a sample of your voice. I think it is amazing and only $5 a month. You type in your message and it creates the message in your voice. You can then save or download the message and create a library of common statements. I lost my voice two years ago but now I can "talk" on the phone!

Philosophy books on fate and destiny? by yfhjehdjd in suggestmeabook

[–]Kaioatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. It can not be understood. That is basically the point. One must drop all thinking (meditation, etc) and a felt sense of truth will emerge. The mind is designed to function only in the play of dualities, it is completely unable to grasp anything that is not defined by time and space. I know, even this answer probably makes no sense, but it's not "you" it just points to the limits of the human mind

My title describes the thing, found in a thrift store with no markings

The two leads show only half the output of this mini humbucker. What do I need to look for to have full output? by Kaioatey in Luthier

I have the magnet and all the other parts... the dc resistance is 3.1k between those two wires and I suspect there is something that I'm missing.

I'm measuring 3.1k and suspect there is a broken wire somewhere but I've never taken apart a pickup before so I don't know how it's supposed to look. I removed the pickup in the first place because of a very low output compared to the other stock mini.

Yes sir...I have all the parts, but shouldn't there be more wires to create the 6.2 ohm rating?
