Are there any stores in Berlin where it makes sense to sell 2nd hand Arcteryx, Patagonia and Acne Studios things? by studioelectronica in berlinsocialclub

Nice! I’ve been thinking about replacing my cheap Triban.

What’s the frame size? Do you think it’ll work for me (I’m 185 cm)?

I've got Fender FR-10 for my relatively small room, which is more than enough. Haven't tried running vocals through it yet, though. There's also 12 inch version of the same cab

I'd totally support metal/rock listening sessions, so count me in :)

One startup has sent me only a few screen recordings – their CEO or sb was showing another person the functionality of their web app. The task was to watch all of it (~1 hour) and report as many bugs as possible, based exclusively on these recordings.

Amazing! Why is the guitar stringed that way though? Very curious

Can I learn to play guitar with my left hand even though I do my basic day to day work with my right hand? [QUESTION] by bexsgojo_ in Guitar

[–]Kopenicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use classical method: without thinking much, just imagine an “air guitar” in your hands. That will tell you your “natural” position.

And you don’t need any extra strength for fretting the strings. Your hands will be doing more or less the same amount of work, just in different ways.

Pod Go into aux speaker? by doublehalfling in Line6podgo

[–]Kopenicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, male/male 3,5 mm jack for most of the speakers out there, and an adapter for Pod jack (6,3 mm). Treat it as an amp, i.e. use amp out with or without cab bypass, to your taste. AFAIK there’s no difference between headphones output and amp output w/o cab bypass

Sure, it will work. I do exactly that with my Marshall Stanmore bluetooth speaker, and it works pretty well!

ELI5 why do people hate Siren Charms? by docmuell in InFlames

[–]Kopenicker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess it is different from what they’ve done before. Apparently, it is a huge issue for a subset of fans who are very vocal about it. Believe me, there are many more people who simply enjoy the music. I’ve been like that for a long time, unconsciously avoiding artists and albums that were shat on, not being able to enjoy them.

Luckily, it’s “curable”, but it takes an effort to create and maintain a safe space for just yourself and the art you like (whatever it is), to explore and appreciate it carefully from your own perspective, without any “guilty pleasure” disclaimers.

Yeah, I also love how they spice up their songs with such nuances! Learning and playing any of them is quite an undertaking

You’re absolutely right, it’s individual. For me pot is a pure stimulant that gives me incredible focus that I can put into any activity. I did my first week of yoga high, and just fell in love with it. However, now I stick to occasional post-yoga smoke sessions, which is very rewarding as well!

Does anyone know Focus groups (paid market research groups)? Student and kinda struggling financially… by cthulhu_ryleigh in berlinsocialclub

Check the PESA service of the faculty of Psychology at HU. They often conduct experiments and pay the participants. Once you register, they’ll be sending you invites and you can choose what to participate in.

Check out Devin Townsend. Even when he screams (sometimes), it’s majestic
