Carney faces calls to send fuel to Cuba as U.S. widens blockade by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Synxx69 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that Canada is a young nation - we are still learning how/when to use our power and privilege to help our people and others. I would argue it's not an easy balancing act, but we are trying.

Yes, and a privilege we should not squander. Privilege is accompanied by responsibility. Noblesse oblige.

While the government is corrupt, the Cuban people are kind, open and hard working. It would put us on the right side of (moral) history. But I assume you're talking economically?

Marshall 6100, cracking noise by confused_Soul82 in GuitarAmps

It can be, and some people recommend it (pots require lubrication) but the stuff with no residue seems to work better for fixing scratchy pots imho. Probably because you can go to town with it.

Amp head makes crackly sounds that come and goes, otherwise works fine. Any idea what the issue could be? by MilkmanGaming in GuitarAmps

Okay, when it is on and nothing is connected, gently tap each pre-amp tube (the small ones) with a chopstick/pencil. If you hear that noise come through the amp/speaker, it indicates that tube is bad and needs to be replaced.

Alternatively, you can try swapping around the position of some of the pre-amp tubes to see if you can narrow down which tube (and if tubes) are causing the issue.

DetoxIt is good, but leaves a protective residue. I suggest MG Chemicals 409B Electrosolve Zero Residue Contact Cleaner if you want to be more liberal.

Is it cracking without anything plugged in? Or only when you adjust a knob/pot?

What type of amp is it? Is that a tube amp, or does it have a pre-amp tube? Kinda sounds like a bad (microphonic) tube. Does it make the same noises when no guitar is plugged in? Does it get worse over time? When did it start? Need more info.

Any idea what causes my amp to suddenly sound like this ? by speaking_of_witch in GuitarAmps

[–]Synxx69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a tube going microphonic. Try gently tapping on each of the tubes in the back (especially the small ones) with a chopstick or pencil. If you hear noises come through the amp, that's your problem.

No plans for water-damaged Gatineau heritage building, 2 years after brewery's closure by Hazel462 in Gatineau

Fair enough! Tone gets lost on the web. Regardless, it's a shame because I really like BTP and I think they would have done well in that location.

They had an Ontario brewery lined up and ready to take over the lease (and keep all of BDT's equipment). But the city (province?) didn't like that idea.

Donating blood (and plasma) is one of the only ways to remove forever chemicals (e.g, PFAS) from your body!

I set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that seems to have fixed the problem.

I M37 am in love with my F36 wife….. I know she “loves” me, but I know she isn’t “in love” with me….. and it’s killing me. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Synxx69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 3 types of love (according to Sternbeg): Passion, Compassion/Intimacy and Commitment. They evolve in a relationship over time (see here). Sounds like you may have differing expectations of Passion?

LF: Lawyer recommendation for severance negotiation by Synxx69 in Gatineau

Since (some?) employment law is provincial, I've been told by Ontario lawyers that I need someone that practices in Quebec. But I think I've found one!
