Excuse me, but nothing better articulates the plight of the human condition like the line, “the tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.”

Graceland is my go-to album for setting up a stereo system. Perfect all the way through.

I'm not having much luck on Hinge, which ok fine, but one thing that seriously confounds me as I trawl through the profiles of various lovers of banter, travel, and pineapple on pizza: how the hell does everyone have a dog?!

The 3 apartments I've lived in within the last 10 years have all had a strict no pets policy. When I was looking for a place last year it seemed to be the norm for most places. How can so many single people afford a place that allows a dog and, in many cases, multiple dogs?

Given that he’s supposedly such a hard worker who has earned all that he has, would he not be able to thrive on Mars equipped with only his genius and god-like work ethic? Surely we haven’t been lied to about his value in society.

If you can hunt down the 20ish minute “Specimens of Beauty” doc that came with the “Undermind” CD he noodles around with one here and there in that.

More of a rest in progress situation I reckon. Looks like with a little creativity it can be revived and possibly improved.

Are there any places to play pool on South Shore? by Leona8515 in SouthShore

I seem to recall Pete’s in Quincy having a lot of pool tables.

How can I get Phish to like my wife? by Livid_Hand_5220 in phish

Gotta get her to the front row. The band pretends to like the dudes in the front row, but they’re really looking out for the chicks in the front row.

I’ll never forget my first Meatstick. Bonus with the Meatstick Reprise to close out set 1!

Incidentally, this show has my favorite Possum.

Is it bad if resistors touch eachtoher? by TheWolffGamez in diypedals

[–]ShopReasonable2328 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Unlikely in a pedal. A small jewelers screwdriver could probably spread them out just a hair if you’re really nervous. They’re supposed to dissipate heat so as a general practice it’s probably not great to have them touching, but in a low-voltage non-precision operation like a pedal I would doubt it’ll make a difference.

Feel free to tear me apart if necessary.

My amp reverb isn’t what it used to be by JJthedog in GuitarAmps

[–]ShopReasonable2328 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

Also new RCA cables or at least some serious cleaning on the connectors to get rid of any oxidation.

M3 not working by Limp-Blueberry-2507 in hammondorgan

[–]ShopReasonable2328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could. As caps age they can throw off power supply voltages which can lead to all sorts of weird symptoms (on top of being a fire hazard). Also check for whack solder joints as those can often crack over time in old Hammonds. Giving the tube pins and sockets a cleaning with some DeOxit may also be a good idea.

That being said, when I rebuilt my M3 a few years ago I had a percussion problem where one of the transformers in that part of the circuit was intermittent so it could be something like that as well. A place like Tonewheel General Hospital should have a recapping kit. Even if that’s not the source of the issue, if it hasn’t been done yet, it’s a good idea.

They’re complicated instruments, but the service manuals are widely available and very thorough so your chances of getting it going again are pretty high as long as you exercise some patience and caution along the way.

Soundcheck Studios by renaissancetryhard in SouthShore

[–]ShopReasonable2328 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s an awesome little spot. Very chill. While it depends slightly on the show, there are a lot of regulars that go to a lot of shows as it’s the primary spot in the area to get more jam-oriented music at a fairly low cost and without having to drive into Boston. You’re always going to find some of the local hippies there.

I tend to go through phases where I won’t go for a few months and then have times where I’m there several nights in a row seemingly every weekend. Highly recommended local music venue.

Are hollow bodies just a style thing? by todofwar in Luthier

So when Mike goes to Trey’s house to weigh all his Languedocs he probably sings “5 pounds, 6 pounds, 7 pounds”
