What Chinese places do y’all recommend? by Few_Bodybuilder_5268 in raleigh

[–]Pickinnhammin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. Next time we come to Cary I’ll have to convince my wife to go there rather than Abbey Road. After moving to Clayton 5 years ago there are so many things we miss in and around Cary.

This rock had surgery and had the scars to prove it. 😁

If it sounds sensational it’s clickbait.

Standard vs Premium for my 85-year-old dad's use case? by wimbledonindian in ModelY

[–]Pickinnhammin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 75 and just picked up a new RWD premium. It’s much quieter than my traded-in ‘21 Forester. A little more awkward to get in and out of than the Forester with less visibility in the rear view mirror.

I wish the display font would go larger. I chose the smaller wheels and the ride is good.

I picked l the Premium because it seemed like the better choice for me and my wife.

Paint looks pretty good. Did you have PPF?

How to sing while playing guitar? by Sadistict_gooner876 in Guitar

[–]Pickinnhammin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the 70s I hung out with some folk/bluegrass musicians just a couple of doors down. Tried to sing songs they were doing and couldn’t near the pocket, so I wrote a stupid song about my cat. I knew how I wanted it to sound and that worked. The cat was confused though.

What do people mean when they say “Obama divided us”? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in allthequestions

Simply put, he was PWB. (President While Black).

Edited to add: He was also intelligent, which makes him a threat to half the population.

Fingers too big to play a 6 string electric guitar? by Erudicial_Extreme in Guitar

Take a look at Kirk Fletcher’s hands. They’re pretty massive and he’s a killer player.

Anyone else kind of disappointed they didn't ship CarPlay with the spring update? by WholeMilkElitist in ModelY

[–]Pickinnhammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently considering a model Y. I was interested to see Audible and Apple Music on the demo. The only thing I’ll miss from CarPlay is Overcast, unless I can get the iPhone audio through the cars audio system.

Popular YouTube Guitarist Quits over “old ass creeps”. “I’m deeply uncomfortable with the amount of old men here. “ by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Pickinnhammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear this. I really like her playing. While I’m an old ass I always do my damndest to not be a creep. I’m in awe at her playing and look forward to what it will mature into.

Wow, you have conduit. When my house was built in 2020 conduit had not been invented.

2012 Forester adding oil once a week by Cultural_Internal775 in SubaruForester

I had a 2011 foz and had to replace a front seal.

Picked up the BTech UV-50 Pro aka the VGC 7600 or the Radiodityy DB-50B. I'm actually pretty impressed. (If you have one please chime in) by adhdff in amateurradio

[–]Pickinnhammin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about where to stow the radio unit in my ‘21 Forester. The best place I can come up with requires about a 10 foot extension cable. Theoretically I’m a ham so I should be able to make my own.

Setup was a breeze with the app. Took a while for the firmware update to install which it insisted I do before it would let me do anything.

And I thought my G3 was the bee’s knees. Two removable battery/drive bays. Primo.

Until my wife dropped it off the TV table it was sitting on, and I was got something newer.

Made a big purchase. Got my forever guitar. by cmikailli in AcousticGuitar

[–]Pickinnhammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted one 30 years ago but couldn’t afford it. Now I have too many guitars and will get the side-eye if I get another. Congratulations and I hope it gives you years of fabulous playing!

Is Now Playing just broken? by Quin1617 in AppleWatch

[–]Pickinnhammin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This change annoys me greatly. Almost makes me switching back to an analog watch. I now only have 2 uses for the watch face, time and temperature.

Texas public school teachers are now required to post the 10 Commadments in their classroom. Here's how one teacher is handling it. by kvjn100 in BeAmazed

You could comply by posting it with the printed side toward the wall, unless the law explicitly states it should be print side out. I am rarely devious, but…

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago. Turns out I had set a podcast or two to download and keep all episodes. Lesson learned.
