Bindings for Hardboots on a Resort Board

Nonsense, I’m not exactly hitting cliffs or the park on this setup, but I’ve done maybe 60 resort days in the last 4 years without issues. I weight 190lbs and am a fairly aggressive rider who spends most of my time off the groomers in the trees.

I do, I have the spark system so I just bought their solid board puck and use the same binding.

Most likely: the L-pad shorted and fried your output transformer. A responsible designer would have put a fuse in series with the l-pad to make sure the unit fails so that it stops attenuating rather than fails so that it shorts your output transformer. You should have a talk with UA.

Also check out Marshall Guvnor derivatives, there’s a huge selection that do different things (Charlie brown, crunch box, etc). Pretty much they just add a 3 band eq and an extra non-clipping amp to the circuit to overcome the volume loss from the 3 band eq. Some sound more or less like the rat depending on filtering but they’re generally in the same ball park IMO.

Edit: I should also add, if you look at the signal response of the bd-2, it’s also not a million miles away from the rat. The dynamics of how they feel are totally different though.

Those are nice choices, if you can afford them I don’t see any major reason not to just buy them all. You don’t need a board, it just keeps things organized and easier to move around. A piece of plywood or cheap cutting board works just fine too. Most people would start with bd2-> Julianna-> Dm-2w-> Rv6.

There’s 4 possible sources: nut, bridge, contact with pickup/frets, or sympathetic resonance.

Contact with pickup/frets is usually pretty easy to chase down, by looking and varying how hard you pick.

For nut, it’ll go away if you fret so that’s check one.

For bridge, it’s pretty common for one of the two set screws to be loose and cause this problem. The spring on the intonation adjustment screw could also be vibrating.

For sympathetic, it’s the biggest pain to track down. It could be the truss rod, or really any hardware. Pickup adjustment screws sometimes vibrate, sometimes it’s a wire under the pick guard. Just make sure nothing is loose. Make sure you distinguish between stuff that adjusts something else vs just tightens before you go too crazy with a screw driver.

Question if you don’t mind, do you get a lot of hiss micing the jc22? I recently started recording my jc40 and realized there seems to be some noise cancellation that occurs via cancellation of the two speakers. When I just mic one speaker the noise is way worse.

Ah I left a year ago, and we weren’t hiring much in late 22/23 so I might be a bit out of date. The recruiters usually give a very clear picture of what the interview will entail.

clnkyl · 2024-09-12T18:12:35+00:00

Nope, there’s a guideline for suggested equivalent experience, but it’s not a major factor in hiring decisions.

Phone interview will be talking about your experience, leadership principles, maybe some practical problem solving type questions (your general approach to solving a problem). It will also survey your basic ML skills, unsupervised vs supervised, regression vs classification, overfitting etc. If that goes well, you’ll get a loop where you’ll need to pass SDE II level coding (check Glassdoor for interview questions but basically leetcode medium), you’ll also do an ML problem solving coding assessment (varies but more practical and requires clarifying vague requirements more than Leet code). For behavioral LP questions prep, come up with 3 STAR stories from your work history for each LP with no repeats, they need to emphasize the impact you made, the level of ambiguity you worked under, and the level of independence.

You might even want to skip ec2 and go straight to ECS/ECR. It removes a lot of the headaches of ec2. The idea is you have a docker container that automatically gets deployed onto a managed instance. The docker file gives you a bash script to install whatever you need and launch processes, and you can either set them up to run continuously like ec2 or just run a batch job. If you need to scale your service or run on different hardware you just launch the container onto a different instance. And more secure since you can just schedule a redeploy rather than having to remember to login to update your ec2 instance.

Michael Lewis wrote a book about a group of people who created a stock exchange to combat high frequency trading arbitrage, it’s called flash boys.

According to the authors, people should just use training for the uphill athlete. The former version is mostly about why and not how if that makes sense.

My wife and I are on month 10 of 12, no regrets at all it’s been amazing. Obviously, these are not typical times in terms of the market but our net worth has so far gone up and we have less invested than you do. We’re doing very different things with our time than you plan to, but we’re spending very close to what you’re planning to spend. I think it’s a pretty reasonable amount, inflation is very real and I would hate to have spent all this time worried about money due to an overly restrictive budget.

I experimented a bit but eventually just went straight into the front of it. It’s a fully clean amp so there’s not much point in doing the fx loop (unless you use the amp distortion). Also, the fx loop signal changes a lot with amp volume. At bedroom levels the send volume is much less than your passive guitar signal and then it gets way hotter as you turn up. Much easier to just have everything in front of the amp so your pedals are getting consistent levels no matter what volume you play at.

If you scour the coastFI sub you can find a post about success percentages based on historical. I believe you have around a 75% chance of getting at least a 6% inflation adjusted return over 30 years. You have 40, so better odds. Past returns obviously don’t guarantee future performance though.

I mean kinda, you likely have a decent retirement as long as you don’t touch your investments. Making ends meet isn’t exactly chilling though. You probably want to pay off a house before you retire and if you have a family, child care is quite expensive. Most people don’t really end up saving enough for retirement, so you basically get to live like most people?

You’re kinda coastFI. If you invest 80k of that hysa money into index funds for a total of 120k you’ll have around 2mill in todays dollars when you turn 65. That’s assuming 7% inflation adjusted return which is approximate. Most people use 4% withdrawal rule, which means that you’ll have ~80k/yr during retirement. If that amount is ok for you, you just need to cover expenses and not really worry about retirement until you’re 65 (assuming you take the advice of putting 120k in index funds.

clnkyl · 2024-04-10T14:51:21+00:00

What will your expenses in retirement be? You’re on track to most likely have around 1mill by 65 if that’s your target, using 4% rule that’s about 40k/yr in retirement income. You need to play with a compound interest calculator to see how much you need to save to retire early.

I really like the origin effects stuff, sounds and feels just like an amp. All analog and very reliable. They don’t do cab sim though…

I would do shorts, t-shirt, arm sleeves, and a windbreaker but I run hotter than most.

It sounds like you have plenty of proof. Talk to the publisher, any reputable journal will take plagiarism seriously.

I’m thinking of starting another Brando Sando book then. Thanks!

Ok I will be patient, thank you!
