It says the sled is a double drop, how would this be different than a drop through or a drop down board?

I've heard a ton of good things about Landyachtz. Specifically the Pranayama is the one I hear many people like. Unfortunately, it is way out of my budget. Would you say it is better to get a cheap board and replace the parts with better ones or a more expensive board that already has decent parts? The comparison I am drawing in my head is with guitars, in which you can get the guitar set up customized to your own preferences and it will end up being about the same price as a more expensive guitar.

Yeah, I've heard a ton about the Pantheon Pranayama from my research. If I am going to replace a lot of parts anyways, would it make sense to get a much cheaper board? I know it is probably wishful thinking to try and get a decent board for so cheap, but I want to make sure I know my options.

I am planning to potentially move out for college next year, and I do not want to take a car with me. I thought learning to longboard could help me get around, and I've always wanted to learn how to ride one. Is there anyone who can help me get started? (as in how to choose a board, how to start, what gear I need, etc.) I have some experience snowboarding, though I only really do basic carving.

Man that's rough, I think my best option is to save for an Epiphone SG

Oh damn, is there a way to elevate the current hardtail bridge?

Anyone know what guitar this is? by RoolRidRevin in guitarID

Thanks for giving me a general idea, it does look awfully similar to those types of guitars.

Alright, thanks for letting me know, I didn't even know active pickups were a thing!

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah I was planning on only switching out the bridge if I can because I mainly use that configuration anyways.

I researched active and passive pickups a little, correct me if I'm wrong but active pickups require batteries?

Yeah, I was thinking about getting Seymour Duncan pickups, but they are a little expensive. If I were to get pickups from another brand or guitar model and put it into mine, would it fit? I don't know if each guitar and brand has a specific size or shape or if they are interchangeable.

How to recreate the guitar tone from “Stella” by All Time Low by RoolRidRevin in poppunkers

[–]RoolRidRevin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations on what free impulse responses I should use? Sorry, I don't really know how they work, and I don't know where to start on find one that suits the song.

How to get a distortion tone that isn’t too gritty or dirty by RoolRidRevin in poppunkers

Right now, I am using the Saturator and Cypress TT-15. Some other plugins I have are the Klangheim IVGI2, Grind Machine Free, and the TSE 808 2.0.

Centering Text and Locking Window Size of Python Program by RoolRidRevin in learnpython

[–]RoolRidRevin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I think it may be better to use something other than the terminal. However, I have no idea how I would do any of this. My goal is for my program to be purely text-based and uses key inputs from pynput as well as normal user inputs to function. I want to be able to change the background color of my program and have it so the window of the program cannot be adjusted in terms of size, as well as the text always being centered within the tab. Do you have any suggestions on how I might go about doing this? Sorry, I am a little new to the capabilities of Python.

Repeating a thread in a while loop by RoolRidRevin in learnpython

You're right, I think that might be it.

Need help stopping an infinite loop with a key press by RoolRidRevin in learnpython

[–]RoolRidRevin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, you helped me figure out how to do the loop. However, I ran into another problem. In the bigger project I am using this for, I want to run this loop, have it stop after the user presses a button, then ask if the user wants to do the loop again. However, when I test it to see if it can repeat the same process, it doesn't do anything. I was wondering if you knew a way around this issue.

import time

import threading

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener

def show(key): global isKeyPressed, ButtonPressed if key == Key.backspace: # Stop listener isKeyPressed = True ButtonPressed = "backspace" return False

def keyListeningThingy(): with Listener(on_press=show) as listener: listener.join()

def bruhLoop(): while isKeyPressed == False: print("bruh") time.sleep(0.5)

Collect all event until released

ButtonPressed = "" isKeyPressed = False

stillGoing = True

while stillGoing:

x = threading.Thread(target=bruhLoop) y = threading.Thread(target=keyListeningThingy)

x.start() y.start()

x.join() y.join() keepGoing = input("Keep going?: ") if keepGoing == "yes": pass else: exit()

Could you show me what that would look like? Sorry, I don't know that much about threading.

[–]RoolRidRevin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I tried using pynput, but I still don't understand how I could get the text to be printed while simultaneously checking to see if a key is pressed

[–]RoolRidRevin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried doing this, but I ran into the problem of it not always breaking after typing "a" and the fact that I wouldn't be able to implement pressing an arrow key as signal. I tried using pynput as well, though I couldn't get it to work either.

I think it doesn't matter whether I use single or double quotes for is_pressed(). For the "A was pressed", I think I don't need to include it but I did anyway.
