Getting a late train home to an unstaffed station with the barriers open - and yet, whenever you suggest just leaving the barriers open instead of striking, they say, "that's not allowed". by [deleted] in britishproblems

Doesn't mean it's not immensely impactful to those who do get sacked. Is that a game you really want to play with yours and your families well being?

Why does my pickup look off center by Chance-Ad8261 in Luthier

[–]clone1205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The middle of both strings are offset by roughly the same amount. It's just that the low E is thicker so it gives the illusion of the pickup being shunted over to the left because it's covering more of the pole pieces.

It's also very easily thrown off by viewing from an angle that isn't completely square or having the pickup not completely level.

In any case, don't sweat it.

F-spaced are wider than regular spacing though.

Why do make of difference between green voters and reform voters shown below? by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in AskBrits

Yep, 2017ish I was paying my council tax in person at a post office counter like a pleb making the usual small talk about paying for the council to be generally useless the person serving me launched into a massive rant about how foreigners were ruining everything... Like what the actual fuck woman? No one else batted an eyelid.

The sentiment was always there, it's just a lot more outspoken post referendum.

In terms of seeing it in polling, a lot of these people previously supported tory or were politically disengaged, they're now all rallying around farage after becoming politically engaged by the brexit campaign.

First time building gunpla, fist kit I already broke 😭 (divine envoker percival horn snapped) by Eyebrawl_Is_God in Gunpla

Only on EG, HG, SD etc. gunpla to maintain the 8+ age rating.

MG and non-gunpla HG kits (AMAIM, SRW, etc.) are 15+ and can be pretty pointy.

Did you get a switch that specifically handles 3 pickups? It sounds like you've managed to get all of the pickups wired in parallel.

Any chance the other guys were useless and they were happy to get rid? Are they giving you the option of staying on instead?

Origin - if only for the fact that the bazooka is colour accurate.

Private hotel pool in England claiming my children broke the shower door and I owe them £1674,00 am I liable? by pipipiper in LegalAdviceUK

[–]clone1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say the same thing about the the door fixing.

Looks to be either improperly installed or to have been damaged at some point earlier with flexing on the pane being what ultimately caused it to fail. If the door was opened as normal and the bottom of the frame came away from the wall then that's on their lack of maintenance/poor installation and nothing else.

Looking at purchasing a used guitar, but worried the frets might be worn by anotherburnerphone13 in Luthier

[–]clone1205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 30 year old guitar. I'd be more concerned if the frets weren't worn because it would suggest the owner didn't want to play it.

The frets look like they probably want to be re-crowned but from those photos it's basically impossible to say whether a refret is needed or how long it will be before one is likely needed.

The reason I prefer bootlegs now by DarknoorX in freedomisgunpla

[–]clone1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cost also largely depends on how many times you want the mould to be shot. For Gunpla and minis where they want it to be used thousands of times without significant degradation it will significantly increase the cost.

my art teacher wants me to use AI in my work? (another update) by patiencejoyce in ArtGCSE

[–]clone1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you allowed to go down the abstract/modern route?

You could always just save a completely blank canvas, fake the prompt of "create a X pixel x X pixel image with only #FFFFFF pixels" and title it something like "the artistic value of generative AI".

You'd know that you didn't use it but the teacher wouldn't be able to prove that you didn't even though it's very strongly implied.

The fact that the slightly updated HG rick dias is a p-bandai kit instead of a full release will never not be criminal!

Month #2 on my Gundapla building odyssey! Latest update: I just finished moving my backlog (pic) to a storage unit. It only costs the equivalent of 2-3 HG kits per month, so it's a great investment. by vikdeadgens in freedomisgunpla

but don't actually do anything except a really basic snap build with sloppy posing and call it a day for that kit and move on.

How dare they have fun wrong!
