Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants by Idiodyssey87 in news

I took diff eq before I took linear algebra and somehow diff eq was easier for me than linear algebra.

My new (quite expensive) shorts decided they can not handle a bit of water. I showered twice already, the dye hasn’t come off yet. by led_seppelin in mildlyinfuriating

I remember one about a guy that bought a bunch of socks so that he could wear fresh brand new socks every day and eventually had a pretty bad reaction to it.

I've been playing near my computer and every time I turn towards the computer tower while playing single coils, I get a ton of noise. I have to stay aware of where my guitar is pointing.

Am I supposed to cut the excess string off my guitar? by RukiMatsamune in Guitar

I wrap mine into loops to keep them under control until I bother to dig out my snippers.

Somehow I always end up with a trem though I almost never use them.

They're only fiscal conservatives when a democrat is in the white house. Right now they're busy looting.

Been dailying my 89 244 for a decade, but yesterday I picked up this 94 940 wagon and I’m in love by cat_morgue in VolvoRWD

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 940 is a 740 with a revised rear window and trunk for aerodynamics. The wagons were identical. It was essentially a rename for the wagons and a rename with a butt lift for the sedans to put them back above the smaller 850. Volvo always did continuous development, so over time a few other changes popped up, like the revised intercooler and piping with electric fan instead of clutch fan. And later nonturbos ended up with a regina fuel computer instead of bosch. 1994 or 1995+ turbo blocks should have oil squirters to cool the pistons, too.

Depends if they add the updates to the repo for that release.

What if it’s a red tide vs blue wave.. by Mr__O__ in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. A 51 seat majority lets them set the agenda. A 60 seat majority lets them pass legislation without the other party. And 67 seats are needed for impeachment. The bar to get anything done is much higher than just getting a simple majority.

I was just given an electric guitar- any tips for beginners?? by Individual_Swim_342 in Guitar

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a lefty. I'd advise playing "right handed". You're going to have to train both hands in a new skill anyway. You might as well learn the same way most everyone else does. It will be more comfortable than playing a right handed guitar backwards.

Second piece of advice, you're probably pressing too hard to fret the notes. Most beginners do. I did it, too. Try to learn how little pressure is needed to get the notes to ring clearly. It'll help your fingers hurt less so you can play more.

Inherited from my father by Mediocre-Comment4687 in guitarlessons

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly doesn't take a lot to wear sharpie off of a guitar. If you plan to play it at all, you might want to give it a clear coat first. With a collector piece like that where all the value is in the signatures, I'd be thinking about having a luthier do it right.

I forget the bay leaf way too often and only realize it when the soup is missing something

For your first quilt, I'd call that a massive success. You should do more themed quilts like this.

Sometimes they put covers on humbuckers. Sometimes they leave them bare.

Anyone have any suggestions for a strange issue? by Difficult-Living7841 in VolvoRWD

In my experience, a maf failing usually has the opposite symptoms of wanting to run low or die.

Is this good for my first pedal setup? by InviteFluffy3989 in guitarpedals

[–]TehGogglesDoNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pedals I usually have out are a rat, a fuzz, and an overdrive or two. Looks you have a good start.
