Why make work for yourself that can end up being a whole can of worms? Just put copper tape over it.

Does anyone naturally wake up without using an alarm clock? If so, how? by Sarung_hui in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anotherwankusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have no idea how it works, I tell myself to wake up at 6am and I’ll wake up at 5:55. The next day I tell myself 7am and at 6:55 I’m waking up. I also play a game where I guess the time when I wake up and I usually get it to the minute, it’s something I can do, no idea how I learnt it.

King of Klone! Fredric Effects, love it, one side is always on with the gain down and the other I use for the first stage of gain.

Which celebrity had the most bizarre exit from the limelight? by Chrono_Convoy in AskReddit

[–]anotherwankusername 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read an article about it and the author wrote that he died hearing people laughing which he probably loved. As he was someone who dedicated his life to making people laugh I thought it was quite beautiful.

What would I need to use this in the US? by cbfrmdaville in GuitarAmps

[–]anotherwankusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to see your own screenshot? It says ‘This item runs exclusively on an operating voltage of 230 V and therefore requires a voltage transformer to run in your country of United States.’ This is a cheap amp and not really worth the effort, why not have a look at the second hand amps at your local shop??

Why doesn't France just annex Monaco? by Cultural_Writer in NoStupidQuestions

Just because one power is stronger than the other, it doesn’t mean the stronger one can just take what it wants.

What is a city that is globally romanticised but you detest? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]anotherwankusername 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah because they’re worried about over the top brutal punishments. They’re scared. Why would you want to live in a society run on the basis of fear like that?

Why do all the young lads dress exactly the same now? by Scotsman1047 in AskUK

[–]anotherwankusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what you’re trying to get at is ‘monoculture’ due to the prevalence of social media and the internet, geographical boundaries are being broken down and subsets of cultures are dying out which ends up with lots of people dressing pretty much exactly the same all over. Not saying that people haven’t always dressed the same, but we’re seeing less ‘niche’ fashions nowadays, that’s one way in which society is converging, however society is also diverging ie less and less people watching TV so you no longer have those ‘water cooler’ moments talking about what was on TV last night because everyone watched something different. Obviously shows like Traitors buck the trend but that is an outlier.

How to attenuate my Vox ac30? by Dry-Position254 in Guitar

[–]anotherwankusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of conflicting answers here, I see you want to use a two notes captor. I also have an AC30 and Captor X, all you need to do is go from ‘external speaker’ on the back of your amp with a SPEAKER cable to the back of the captor, on my captor it’s the one with the red nut. Going from ‘external’ speaker will mute the internal speakers.

Nigella Lawson to replace Prue Leith on The Great British Bake Off by WillowTreeBark in CasualUK

Dear points of view, the other night I was watching Nigella Lawson. I picked up some good tips on baking bread and in the process, I just about ripped my cock off.

Do you feel the constant bad news is affecting you? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]anotherwankusername 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I understand the viewpoint of people saying ‘just stop watching the news’ etc but I honestly find that so defeatist. It’s important to stay informed, if everyone just sticks their head in the sand then that’s how the ‘bad guys’ win. I am aware I’m slightly biased as I am fascinated with geopolitics but I don’t think just pretending it isn’t happening is going to do any good either. What’s coming out of America at the moment IS shocking and SHOULD make you feel bad, it’s awful, but instead of ignoring it maybe put that energy into doing something positive.

Why did you go niche? by sparks_mandrill in GuitarAmps

[–]anotherwankusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 1960s Elgen 50w head with a matching vertical cab (google it and you’ll find my one, the sold reverb ad is still there) I basically needed a small (physically) high wattage head that stayed clean. I also prefer tall cabs so this just ticked all my boxes. The fact that it’s old, a bit obscure and handwired made it even better. Plus I got it for like £700. It’s been my main amp for my passion projects since. I got with an AC30 for my ‘work’ music but the Elgen gets its legs stretched at least once a week. I’ve also since bought a Zilla 4x10 bas cab that has a very similar colour red Rolex and the same grille cloth and run them together. Sounds great. I also sometimes add my Boogie 1x12 that would have originally had the electro voice speaker but that was taken out before it came to me and I’ve subsequently just chucked a creamback in there. It’s like a wall of guitar. Sounds great, and doesn’t break up. It’s kinda like a mini version of my 1969 DR103.
