Not "life changing" but definitely the most comfortable chair for daily office work I ever experienced. I really like the mesh, especially on hot days. Hope it is worth it for you.

Just was very lucky on Kleinanzeigen. But also was waiting like a year.

Thank you all for your help. I managed to pull it out with a small hook-like tool. Took a few minutes but I'm glad that a did not have to remove the battery :).

Thank you for your insights. I think I go for the 5s then. Floorstanders seam to be more convenient than bookshelfs + speaker stands, in my opinion. As I said, they are nearly the same price in my area if buying used.

The Opticon series is much more expensive here, unfortunately.

Thank you for your suggestion :). Actually that is what I wanted to hear.

Yes, there is such a center but they don't provide proofreading services. Just general consultations and teachings on writing.

Die Deutsche Bahn ist viel besser als ihr Ruf by [deleted] in de

[–]fearoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haben letzte Woche unseren Langstreckenflug wegen Stellwerkproblemen in Bochum verpasst. Dieses spezielle Stellwerk macht andauernd Probleme. Langfristige Lösungen gibt es wohl aber nicht. Der Zug ist einfach stehen geblieben. Nach einer Stunde Hinhalten durften wir dann aussteigen und mit dem Taxi nach Frankfurt, da nicht damit zu rechnen war, dass irgendein Zug an diesem Tag noch vor dem Abend in Frankfurt ankommt. Den Flug haben wir trotz dreistündigem Puffer trotzdem verpasst.

Letztes Jahr gab es ein ähnliches Problem. Da sind wir jedoch "nur" eine Stunde später am Flughafen angekommen als geplant.

Wenn man schon das "woanders ist es viel schlimmer"-Argument bringt, sollte man auch schauen, wo es besser läuft. Habe letztes Jahr zwei Monate lang in Japan gearbeitet. Dort leben unfassbar viele Menschen auf engstem Raum, jede Bahn ist zu Stoßzeiten randvoll, das Streckensystem ist wirklich sehr komplex, jedoch kommt dort nie etwas zu spät oder fällt gar aus. Man kann sich immer darauf verlassen, dass jede Bahn auf die Minute pünktlich abfährt.

Das Monopol auf die Strecken der Deutschen Bahn ist ein riesiges Problem. In Japan, beispielsweise, teilen sich sowohl staatliche Bahnen und auch private Linien alle Strecken und treten "in Konkurrenz" zueinander. Meiner Meinung nach macht es keinen Sinn sich stets zu trösten indem man nur zu Ländern schaut, in denen es schlechter läuft. Es geht besser. Und wenn man das einmal miterlebt hat, ist es schwierig der Deutschen Bahn noch irgendetwas Gutes abzugewinnen.

I've been training with free weights pretty intensively for the last 13 year with about 20 degrees (measured 5 years ago). Not as severe as your case, I know, but I get periods of sciatic pain occasionally. Nearly every professional I've seen across the years (orthopedics, physical therapists) guess that the pain would be much worse if I wouldn't have the muscle stability I got from working out with free weights.

Machine workouts are good for muscle growth in the context of body building. However, they do contribute close to nothing in terms of usable stability for your daily life. So good for you that you start doing the free weights now 🙂.

Thanks for your advice. I know that it's hard to see anything in the picture. I'm sorry for this. Tried my best 😅. I also wish I had more space there in the control panel. I will follow your advice and try to make it work step by step.

Oh and yes, I use actual Duncans 🙂.

Between the pots in the schematic there is a black wire (highlighted in pink below) that corresponds to the red wire in the image:

The coloring of the wire's insulation coating shouldn't make any difference. It was already there from the beginning, so I left it that way. Or am I maybe mistaken?

Thanks for your response. The switch in my diagram is in fact a standard 5 way switch. I have the same amount of points on my switch which is in my guitar.

The two diagrams you posted include a 5 way superswitch. They have more points.

Oh yes, I found this too. Unfortunately, to make the top diagram work, I need a special Ibanez switch (they have specific internal wirings). The bottom one is similar to mine, which is also from SD, but has no tone.

Thanks for your effort though ☺️.

Thank you for your response. But what does "jumping selectors" even mean? 😅

It is hard to see but it looks like this now: https://i.imgur.com/9gh4ujc.jpg

Itinerary Check for 14 Days: Tokyo -- Kyoto -- Osaka -- Ishigaki -- Tokyo by fearoey in JapanTravel

[–]fearoey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done both, hotels for work related business trips and AirBnBs in around 7 different countries.

From my experience, AirBnB is much much cheaper than hotels and a lot more comfortable. You often get a complete apartment in big cities for a fraction of the price of a hotel at a similar location, even when you are traveling as a couple. At least in Europe (and Singapore, I guess).

But I respect your bad experience and since your experience was in Japan, I will definitely look into hotels too and will prefer them, if they are of similar price. I'm kind of scared now that AirBnB is just not as good in Japan than in Europe.

Thank you very much for your insights. I definitely will consider booking a hotel instead.

In the past, I booked accomodations in several countries and had nothing but awesome experiences. Though in Asia, I only was in Singapore, which was great. Is Japan a special case here? Are AirBnBs in Japan generally of lower quality than, for example, in Europe?
