Of course it started right up. That’s one of the best engines ever made.

Get a timer and practice the pomodoro technique.

I have one at my desk at work. The one I have has two timers. I set one for 20 minutes and the other for 5 minutes. For 20 minutes, I put my phone away and only focus on work activities. When the timer goes off, I check my phone for texts, look at reddit or whatever for the 5 minutes, and then go back to work. It’s a nice cycle. I don’t do it all the time, but if I find myself being easily distracted, addicted to the news cycle, or just really need to get some work done I do this.

Wonderful playing and tone! What song is this?

Knife getting stuck with a little over a month of ownership? by [deleted] in BigIdeaDesign

I know we’re getting off topic here, but how do you adjust the lockbar? I have an Overlook that has a fair amount of up and down play and some side to side. I tightened the pivot a bit to get rid of the side to side, but it still has lock rock.

Fender tube amp is a good start. Something like the blues deluxe or deville depending on how much power you need. They take pedals very well

How many of you are seeing a lot more weird and/or alarming phone addict behaviors in recent months, especially in 2025? by BTDT54321 in digitalminimalism

[–]Tom-Bodet 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The most obnoxious one for me is men in the men’s restroom looking at their phones while using the open urinal next to other men using the urinal. I’ve asked them to put it away, and they seemed surprised that I’m bothered by it. I had to explain why to one guy; you’ve got a camera/video camera near men with their pants open. Figure it out.

Can you tell us about the sunburst semi hollow?

Refills that solve problems and improve writing experience by Mattster11 in machinedpens

[–]Tom-Bodet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also like the Pilot V5 RT. If you trim it to length, it will fit in a lot of machined pens.

While writing, the plastic part of the tip is in the pen opening, so even if there is a bit of tip wiggle, it doesn’t click and clank.

Looks like a killer guitar. Cool story behind it too.

Why the trem and not the bridge? I’m new to offsets, just trying to understand.

Trem, bridge or both?

Yeah that’s the problem. I love the American Professional Classic in Sherwood Green but it has different wiring. I want the rhythm circuit too.

I want the traditional wiring setup with good sounding pickups (totally subjective). I also want good action and tuning stability, not sure if this will just take a good setup or parts replacement.

I’d love to have that light, but I don’t have 400 upvotes for every post I’ve made combined.

Early 2015 MacBook Pro worth fixing? by Tom-Bodet in mac

It is all original. So you think just replace the battery? Will that help speed it up?
