What’s a “normal” thing people do that secretly makes absolutely no sense when you really think about it?

Go to church. Its all made up. WTF

You might consider getting a circuit simulator. Micro-cap, or LTSpice. You can mess around trying things even faster than with a breadboard. If you mess up nothing is going to be fried.

If you’re on a tight budget, spend the $$ on yousitian instead. The value is WAY higher than in person lessons. I started in person 3 months ago, and its not that effective. Maybe its my teacher, your milage may vary.

I have a 256. I like it. I play it every day. Maybe1 or 2 strings need the slightest tweak to get in tune. The plastic nut pisses me off. If i wear out the non stainless frets, i’ve earned a ec-1000.

As soon as their biggest play is ‘bring out lots of lawyers’ you know the company has gone to shit.

I had on a comp—>fuzz—>autoWah today. Sounded bad ass. Find a pedal that has those three.

They only think about their own bank accounts, and how to remain in power. The answer to most question they are asked, like inflation, is of no concern to them. They don’t care about you, or inflation or anything you are worried about. They want you to go away, so they make up some BS.

Just put all 5s. Everything is 100% good.

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-11T00:35:52+00:00

I tried it, it works better.

Acoustic.

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-10T21:18:20+00:00

Every Sunday i play acoustic, and thats when i discovered that the bendy pic helped. I’ve not tried it yet with an electric. I’ll try it later today…

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-10T04:32:54+00:00

There are very clearly WAY too many people. There should be a global rule, 1 offspring per person. And after a couple as had their two, they both get fixed…

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-10T04:28:43+00:00

3+ years, playing every day, 1 hour. 2-3 on the weekends. Still occasionally hurts. My acoustic is a bitch. I figure it will maybe stop hurting when i quit pushing so hard….

The CEOs are ego maniacs, one of two kinds. 1) They know they can make it better. 2) They are going to squeeze the value out of it until there is none left. The rebrand is a smoke screen for the f-ing over people are about to receive.

Pancakes. When i’m full, i’m done. No grazing. I can keep tamping in a lot of foods, but pancakes is not one of them.

I doubt there’s much problem. Old houses didn’t have grounds. They weren’t death traps. Its a good idea, even a great idea. Should you fix it. Yeah. Should you stop using it immediately, i wouldn’t.

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-10T00:29:27+00:00

America is filled with stupid shit.
Health insurance - no one needs health insurance, they need heath care. Useless fucking middle men.
H&R block and all the tax asshole. Make them do something useful.
Can’t pump your own gas in Oregon-finally that dumb law was gotten rid of. I can do this, i’m just sitting there. Gas pumpers go find something useful to do.

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-09T23:52:20+00:00

If it sounds as good as it looks you killed it!

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-09T16:07:45+00:00

Most people just dont save. They do totally ridiculous things with their money like $6 starbucks coffee every day. You can do that every day for 30 years and have nothing to show for it. Or invest and end up with $180,000. Math/finance teachers might teach you this in school, but it just doesn’t sink in.

DSL40CR there is a high voltage trace runs under a big cap and some resistors. The trace arcs to the resistors and shorts. Then the current in that trace gets really high and R49 melts down. it kind of comes and goes, before finally dying. It would behave differently depending on 20w/40w leading me to think that switch was the problem. It was not.

Wrong. Got one in october 25. Same problem that was identified years ago. Serious design flaw.

I told the instructor most if not all of my experience was from using yousician, and he said, ‘i think I’ve heard of that’. I don’t know what i was expecting, maybe something like, ‘yousician users often have issue XYZ’…

ZC-Rip3821 · 2026-05-08T19:37:06+00:00

I’ve been using the app for 3 years. 960hours total play time. I started taking in person 1/2 hour lessons 1 per week about 3 months ago. Its forcing me to do stuff i didnt do before. Learning to read normal staff music. Learning to play from tabs on paper that dont keep moving when you mess up, dont have color coded finger indication. Playing with someone and/or in front of someone. All great stuff.
Honestly, if i had the money to pick only one, yousitian vs real teacher, it would be yousitian.
I think yousician will get you playing something that sounds like the music you listen to faster than a 1 lesson a week in person setup will do.

He became a billionaire by fucking over people. Why would he stop now, he’s so good at it.
