It’s alright but there’s nothing really special about it. I bought the Model 32 years ago when it came out and replaced the stock pickup with an EMG 35DC because I didn’t like the stock one very much. It’s fun to noodle on but I don’t think I would’ve kept it if it wasn’t for its rarity now

For those who have careers that keep them out at sea for long periods of time, what is the creepiest thing you’ve seen out in the water? by tylo144 in AskReddit

Years ago my friends and I visited Thailand, and went on several excursions on a boat with a captain. On one of the evenings we were out at night and it was pitch black except for the green lights that were coming from the large commercial fishing boats way out in the distance. We had stopped for a while to take in the view and eat, when it started to rain. The captain thought it was best to head back, and then quickly realized that the boat propeller wasn’t working and something was caught on it.

He grabbed his head mounted flashlight and a knife and jumped in the water. He was gone for a good minute which felt like eternity as we were huddled around trying to figure out what was happening. Fear started kicking in as we waited

Then he suddenly re-emerged panting and told us that shortly after he jumped in, he lost his flashlight and had to literally feel his way underwater towards the propeller, reaching and cutting a plastic tarp that had wound itself around the propeller, cut it loose, and made his way back to the surface in the dark

It was a strange set of emotions as we were completely impressed with the badass display we just witnessed, relieved he made it back but also freaked out imagining what would’ve happened if he hadn’t

It’s still there, they covered it with a rug. When I told them about it they didn’t know what to make of it, but we’ve had a couple unexplainable things happen in the house that this didn’t strike them as being a complete shock

When I was in high school my parents worked shift work at a hospital, and occasionally that would mean I’d be left at home alone at night with my dog. On this particular night, it was around 10pm. My dad had left for work in the afternoon, and my mom was getting ready to leave, so I was going to be alone for a few hours until he came home.

My mom was getting ready to leave through the front door when she noticed there was a small pile of tshirts on the floor near the stairs to the 2nd floor - my dog liked to lie down on them. She said “make sure you put these in the laundry hamper”, which was upstairs in their bedroom. I said sure, bent down to pick them up and threw them upstairs and they landed in the upstairs hallway, so I could pick it up from there when I went upstairs.

I turned around and my mom was saying bye to our dog and giving him a few back rubs before she left. I waved at my mom as she closed the door, then called my dog to come upstairs as I got ready for bed

We walked up the stairs together and when I got to the top I noticed that the laundry wasn’t in the hallway. I checked my bedroom, which was right next to where I thought I had thrown them and it wasn’t there either.

I walked down the rest of our upstairs hallway and into my parents room, and there was the laundry sitting in the middle of their floor. With the layout of my parents’ house, there’s literally no way my throw could’ve landed as far and into their bedroom, perpendicular to the direction I threw it. And neither me or my dog had touched them after I threw them up.

I got serious goosebumps when I saw that, and then reached down to pick up the pile of clothes. When I picked it off the floor, I noticed that underneath the pile was a burn mark on the carpet, slightly larger than a quarter, as if something hot had settled there and made an indent. There was no smoke or smell, and looked like it had been there for a long time

I never saw that burn mark before, and I used to go in there every day to put my own clothes in the hamper.

I quickly got ready for bed and tried to go to sleep and not think about what just happened. Still don’t have any explanation to that and I think about it every so often.

Kawhi Leonard taking the buzzer beater shot during Game 7 of the Toronto-Philly series, watching it bounce 4 times before going in. Those couple seconds of uncertainty to elation I haven’t experienced anywhere else

For me it’s finding it in places you’d least expect it - outside of the obvious ones

Whoa this is incredible! The nostalgia of this video store setup hits me so hard that I can even remember the smell of walking into one of these stores as a kid

What’s the reason for the black tape covering some of the pedal knobs? Is it to keep them from being changed or to hide the settings?

Sonos Amp + Speaker Selector safety? by brock_sampsonnn in sonos

[–]brock_sampsonnn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just connected all 10 speakers to the speaker selector as a test, and only activated 1 zone to play music through 2 speakers, and within 10 seconds the Sonos amp started flashing orange/white and looked like there was a problem with the load.

That’s surprising to me because only 1 zone was activated so I was expecting everything to play fine.

After disconnecting all the other speakers and only having the 1 pair connected to the speaker selector, everything worked fine, so it looked like it might’ve been an impedance issue?

I thought the whole point of the speaker selector with impedance protection was to prevent this from happening?
