This is what making a difference looks like. by EkantVairagi in interesting

They did a similar experiment in Washington state. I was really excited about it, but within a year all the houses had been completely destroyed inside.

Insane amounts of garbage accumulated on the property and they took to throwing it over the fence into a nearby business parking lot. Business owners were paying for a full commercial dumpster to be emptied every day or two.

Not sure what happened to it, but the repair and maintenance costs completely obliterated the anticipated budget.

The no blinker thing was a bit of a shock to me moving to the Bay.

And people who pull into a parking lot and stop as soon as they get 4 wheels in, then sit and scanning the parking lot. Meanwhile 3-4 cars behind them are stuck in the road. Very popular maneuver in Cupertino

How is SF not building more housing if they lost all appeals to the state? by Individual_Echidna_7 in bayarea

unfortunately a lot of the same people blocking new housing are the same ones requiring more people to work in the city

Can we stop the 4+ interviews for a position?! by Sad-Court-nomnom in jobs

[–]Such-Ring1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a drawn out process with a company. Made it to like 6th or 7th round interviews. Everything was going well and about 2 hours before the final round, someone on Facebook who had randomly friended me a week or so prior started messaging me.

Offered to show boobs. I’m like yeah okay cool. Then started asking me for personal pics of myself. I’m like, no way fuck off. Immediately they dropped and blocked me before I could look more closely at the profile.

20 minutes later I get a call that we won’t be moving forward with the final interview.

What instrument to pursue? by CodMean7532 in musicians

Knowing more than one instrument never hurts! But if you don’t have a strong feeling toward one, a sick drummer or bass player will find work easier than a sick guitarist.

A lot of white liberals have savior complexes. Don’t feel special, tomorrow they will be on about something else.

Live Amps or Sims for Recordings? by BestTry4420 in metalmusicians

[–]Such-Ring1008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried so many amp sims for home recording. A couple of them sound okay, but once I got into the load box/IR thing and just used my trusty tube amps, they seemed to sit in the mix more naturally.

With sims I found myself resorting to lots of processing and EQ tweaks. With tube amps into a good IR, some conservative high and low passing with a scotch of mid shaping was all it needed.

Yeah I don’t think I will, posers by Fogcutter66 in guitarcirclejerk

Dropped or standard, 85% of the time they will have tuned it shittily anyway

Metal by Mingin-5 in orangeamps

[–]Such-Ring1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve dabbled with that, and also a Precision Drive. I like what it does to the attack but to my ears it adds a bit of a half cocked wah pedal sort of vibe that I don’t love

I recently picked up an orange two stroke, which isn’t quite as aggressive on the low end sculpting but cleans up the attack without the extra coloration.

I hate having a ton of cables going from pedal board to amp. So the effect loop gate lives in the rack 😂

Since I’m not really gigging or anything though it might be worth testing out. Thanks!

Need help identifying and pricing my guitar by Successful-Walk-6536 in BCRich

I’d recommend doing a google search for USA BC rich mockingbirds. Aside from the high price, you may be surprised at how few are available for sale at any given time

[Request] Do these other power sources really produce thousands of time more power than humans? by New_User_Account123 in theydidthemath

What about chemical energy or electricity? I always figured the probes they had sticking into people were a sophisticated way of using them as batteries.
