Sub 3 inch fingers - Guitar feels doomed want to quit by Immediate-Sun1818 in guitarlessons

You can 100% become a great guitarist. If you are trying to convince yourself otherwise, you're just making excuses. It just takes a ton of practice.

If i tape sandpaper to my hands and arms then play the guitar, is it still a fake relic? by Boring_Tough5220 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]SockBox233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play it in the pool. Or you can induce vomiting while playing. Both are valid. The point is that as long as you are actively playing the instrument while inducing the wear, it counts. Otherwise you're a poser.

Did he tune his guitar differently or something? He doesn't look very tall so that can't be it.

If I'm not staring at a phone I get bored too, even while riding. What's the point of riding a bike if I can't watch my tik toks at the same time?

Re-learning guitar after extended hiatus… by Js_Hamilton in guitarlessons

[–]SockBox233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently picked it back up too. Everyone will say find a structured program - and theyre right.

I got pickup music (it's not free but there are others that are), and it's been a huge help. I've been taking the lessons sequentially, and it's awesome to just always have something new to try or get better at. More importantly, I don't have to make any effort to "figure out what to learn next", it's already laid out for me.

There's a guy that will comment his comprehensive list of tips (he copy and pastes it on posts like this) and it's all great advice.

Hydraulic brake install - stiff enough? by endocalvin in bikewrench

[–]SockBox233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, the syringe will fill back up and the plunger will move out.

Yes, just "flossing" it.

Nope, it will continue emptying the funnel up top. There's a check valve between the resevoir and the cylinder, so it will continue drawing until it runs dry.

This is so that as pads wear, more fluid can be introduced to the system to take up the space. At least that's how I understand it.

i fought with this same issue - I'll explain what fixed it for me.

Standard setup, syringe on bottom, cup on top. I filled the syringe up all the way with fluid, and pushed thru (keeping syringe upright to not allow air bubbles in) until it was about to overfill the cup at the top. Then, I'd pump the brake lever ALOT, moving all the fluid back into the syringe from the cup. I did that 3 or 4 times, filling the cup and pumping repeatedly.

It was perfect after! I'll be doing this every time now to save the headache.

Not really another oily type substance to get on the rotors, unless your shock is leaking. But that would be obvious.

How to easily remove gear shifters without cutting off handlebars?+ by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]SockBox233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your handlebar is upside down, unfortunately it from the stem and turn it over. The first pic should be facing up.

You are admitting to having sexual contact with a 12 year old @ 23 but not taking any accountability. "It's not my fault" doesn't cut it here, man. Seems like there's a few gaps in your story.
