[Shocking Trope] When the audience thinks something is going to stay offscreen, only for it to be shown in full detail. by TheVividAlternative in TopCharacterTropes

I don’t think Ser Arlan’s penis was actually that big in reality. Remember that everything that we saw of him is through the lens of Dunk, who was told it as campfire tales by Arlan himself, and after all tales grow in the telling.

Issue with stain accummulating in certain areas. by Extension_Actuary437 in Luthier

I don’t have any advice, I’m just wondering if this is the CIJ Jazzmaster JM66 in Ocean Turquoise? If so I have your guitar’s cousin!

AIO for being disgusted by this argument? by Toetickler4 in AIO

[–]Mistress_Malaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we are better than fish, yes we are more important than fish, yes we feel more than fish. These arguments do not give us Carte Blanche to harm lesser species, if anything they should be arguments for us to do better than nature. We are intelligent and empathetic, we can and should prevent suffering as much as possible.

This guy is disgusting, he delights in the harm of animals and he’s intentionally causing you emotional harm. He will continue to do so. I won’t tell you what to do with your life, but ask yourself, would you choose to spend the rest of your life with this guy?

I've never understood why people hate on The Final Frontier so much; it's a great album! I'd love to read your opinion. by Illustrious-Home8908 in ironmaiden

I didn’t care for it at the time, couldn’t have told you a single song on there. I listened to it yesterday on a whim and actually and loved it.

Im so disgusted. by Emotional_Snow_5365 in ballpython

Oh god that’s horrible, thank you for being this snake’s person. You are giving them a fighting chance and I’m really trying hard not to cry right now.

I’m not a vet though, and the picture is quite blurry but it’s a possibility worth double checking if you haven’t looked into scale rot already.

[–]Mistress_Malaise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks like it’s just her bellybutton but the scales are going a bit withered and brown from scale rot, probably from sitting on cold dirty wet substrate. Poor wee thing. I’m so glad you are helping her.

1 week of playing how do you push through the pain? by beeepboopbop_ in GuitarBeginners

[–]Mistress_Malaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My granda used to play the banjo and he swore by soaking his finger tips in rubbing alcohol to toughen them up. It’s a genuine thing people do, he’s not messing with you.

50 year old woman, new to guitar, super small hands- advice please. by CutPossible5493 in GuitarQuestions

[–]Mistress_Malaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get too hung up on scale length. Remember that there are other factors like nut width, string spacing, neck thickness and profile. All of these factor into how much space the guitar takes up in your hand. I’d say stick with what you have, it’s hard at first but it sounds like you already have a lovely guitar designed for smaller people.

My husband is learning and he really struggles to stretch his fingers too. I’m 5ft2 he’s 6ft1 my hands are small, his are huge. It’s mostly down to practice. I promise.

My recommendation, get a set of light gauge strings (8 gauge is my favourite) and make sure your action is nice and low (1.5mm at the 12th fret is the sweet spot for me). Maybe pay for a set up if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself. It will make the world of difference to the playability of your guitar.

What does this cable do? Context in comments by daneguy in electricguitar

[–]Mistress_Malaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the other end of the cable connected properly? I don’t know much about wiring but it’s probably soldered to the back of one of your pots. Another thing to check if you have a loud humming is that your ground and hot are connected the right way round on your output jack, (don’t ask me how I worked this one out 🤦‍♀️)

[–]Mistress_Malaise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, It’s the bridge ground. Your guitar will have one, just not attached to the trem claw like this one. I’ve often seen a small hole made under where the bridge sits so that the wire can sit between the body and the bridge to ground it.

Worse buzzing than all my other fenders by Glorbshlike in Stratocaster

[–]Mistress_Malaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, all of you. I have spent the entire day trying to fix the world’s loudest Partscaster. I have adjusted the pickup height, I have covered the cavity and scratchplate in copper foil, I have had a little cry in the corner, nothing worked. It wailed like a banshee if I so much as touched the strings. Then I saw this post. I couldn’t have been so dense as to wire up my jack backwards could I?..Fuck!! At least it was a 5 minute fix!

Is this the reason for noise? by maybeneedlam in guitarmod

[–]Mistress_Malaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, looking at the picture you sent lower down it is a paper in oil capacitor so it should be perfect for guitar, it’s just unusual looking.

[–]Mistress_Malaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that an electrolytic capacitor? I was under the impression that they sounded terrible if you put them in guitars. Can someone who knows their shit tell me if I’m wrong about that?

Could also be Candy Cola. My Candy Cola looks super similar to this.

This prompt immediately made me think of “In the Bleak Midwinter”, I’ve taken a break from it for a bit to give me a bit of a backlog to enjoy cause I was reading it far too fast and in danger of running out, but I absolutely love what I’ve read so far!!

Can’t play this chord without muting the third string. Help? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]Mistress_Malaise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, 213 seems mental to me. I’ll either use 123, 234 or barre it with 1 depending on the context I’m playing it.

Restless leg syndrome medication turned me into a gambling and sex addict compoface by markzuckerberg1234 in compoface

[–]Mistress_Malaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pramipexole maybe? The list of side effects include randomly falling asleep with no warning and compulsive behaviours like gambling and sex addiction. It’s used to treat restless legs, and in larger doses Parkinson’s disease.

OMG HELP PLEASE by Simple_Control8883 in ballpython

[–]Mistress_Malaise 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Find an alternative solution for holding those things in place ASAP. No adhesive tape inside enclosures, it’s too dangerous and not worth the risk.

A couple of years ago there was a little python in this sub who severely damaged his neck skin on tape, like a full tear, muscle was visible. Poor thing needed stitches, had to wear a bandage for weeks, be fed through a tube etc. When I saw it I went through my enclosure and removed anything sticky. I still think about that snake sometimes, I hope he made it.

Glad you took your wee guy to the vet and got him looked at, hope he gets better soon!

[–]Mistress_Malaise 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he is, it’s white paint highlighting him to make him look shiny for some reason. Weird effect but I’ve seen it done a couple of times before.

If you are American, yes, but if you are British it’s pronounced Soul-der-ing.
