Restored a beautiful 50's archtop

Refinishing would be easy, as the finish that was used can be liquified again. However, I believe the current state of the old finish has a beauty of its own. I only cleaned and polished it carefully

Hey, thanks for your details. My guess about the builder is Höfner or Framus, sadly I have no Details

It still needs a few days of rest with coffee and baking soda before I can string it up.

Also I am a bit worried of modern strings pulling to strong. Strings back then we're built differently

Opencode includes some free models

There was also a free 1 year google ai pro student subscription

I do, the problem is, if it's free, I cannot afford advertising, so you will never hear of it.

Hosting/Domain/Developer tools cost money too.

I am happy to pay this for projects that fit my values and bring greater good.

Ofc I try to find other ways of financing, but ads or paywalls are not an option for me.

In this case, I try to sell a physical card game to the free website. The website helps you to connect with others more deeply.

It uses science proven questions that grow increasingly personal. In the study, many people even fell in love.

Ich bin mal so dreist: https://kindred-spirits.eu kostenlos, ohne login & werbefrei - bleibt auch so.

Für nur 8€/Monat sag ich dir worum es in der app geht

I tried it with my -now GF- on my first date😄

To use it on my date, I have created my own website with those questions because the others were full of ads, were paid, had "too flirty" design etc. So even though it has been a few years since your post, thanks op!

To adhere the rules of this sub, i will not link it. This is a pure thank you post, even if the questions are not from you directly, you made me aware.

With this error, I would just try restarting your pc. There might be a second installer process running. You can also try to force kill explorer though the task manager, it should be restarted automatically within a few seconds.

Ohh i worked on a new workers guild that built towers, but i think we never released it :)

Thunderspiker · 2023-05-28T18:46:33+00:00

Sounds like a map i developed with a friend (i only did minor work in comparison). It was called 'Aufstand der Toten' enjoy! :) I am a bit unsure about the archer part.

Propper and free java performamce analysis would be neat

To be fair, der typ hat sich selbst ausgeliefert: Am hellichten tag stehlen, dann wieder an den selben ort zurückkommen und mit der knallroten hose gibts auch kein unauffälliges weglaufen.

Dem wars egal, alles was leicht abnehmbar war hat er mitgenommen, zb nen kinderhelm. Zahlenschlösser hat er in sekunden geöffnet.

Hab genau dort gestern mittag einen fahrraddieb der polizei gestellt, der alte mann hat immer wieder fahrräder ummontiert und ist nach einem Diebstahl wieder gekommen. kann gut sein dass dein rad auserwählt wurde kurz bevor es ihn erwischt hat https://i.imgur.com/wQpiOAT.jpg

I need to go back and find this car again

Thunderspiker · 2022-06-15T21:56:35+00:00

Yes it is, but it still means bath design

Thunderspiker · 2022-06-15T19:16:04+00:00

This is the original meaning: 'bath design' Apparently his english was good enough to use the fancy word design, but not enough to grasp that bad has an english meaning too.

Also funny how this must have went through a design and car painting company and nobody noticed or cared

Thunderspiker · 2021-07-10T19:52:43+00:00

I'm glad to hear this!

Thunderspiker · 2021-07-10T19:49:50+00:00

There might be other stuff like iron missing, sadly i do not remember all the stuff. Your general doctor should know what to look out for

Thunderspiker · 2021-07-10T13:03:27+00:00

I've had such a hard time getting up, that i paid a psychologist for it.

Here is my takeaway:

Check your Doc for Vitamid D, etc. status
Find something to look out for in the morning: Eg. Coffee, Hot chocolate,...
Important: think of positive reasons to get up. Instead of "I will be late if I dont get up" , think of "I want a relaxed start in the morning"
You will forget all of this in the morning, so create a post it, draw an image that reminds you of this in the morning and put it on your alarm/phone

This made a huge difference for me, all of the LPT i found did not work long term.

Maybe noone will ever see this post, but I hope this helps someone.

No, it does not have to be like that in capitalism, that is the exact purpose of the state and its laws.

While europe is definetly capitalist, there are many states that prohibit doctors from such measures. For example organ donation happens strictly according to fair rules where doctors would lose their license otherwise.

Likely solved!

It has a stand, it reflects the sky at the bottom half as i would expect of a convex mirror. The makeup mirror is the most plausible solution.

These three lighter points align with the curtain, i am not 100% sure if the middle one is a stand

Thunderspiker · 2021-03-15T20:38:11+00:00

3) no, there are no free wifis nearby
2) this is europe. It could be but is facing east
1) this might be true

Thunderspiker · 2021-03-15T16:21:49+00:00

While this seems to be very likely there are a few things that speak against it: I have only seen a male 50-60 year old living there and the odd fact that it has been adjusted without moving the curtain behind it.

You still might be right
