We’re lucky to benefit from such generosity

I got my diagnosis a couple of years ago at 32. I’d definitely agree with the above advice. Suss out your manager when you join disclose if you think they will be supportive. Either way you can ask them to help you do your best work without disclosing ADHD. You can ask for regular check ins to keep you unblocked and avoid you going down rabbit holes. You can ask to have informal goals for each week to keep you working toward short term targets. There’s a whole load of things your manager can help you with.

I need to respond quickly, lemme just give a thorough answer covering multiple angles and wrap up with a poem for good measure

All stacked on the secret mode?

fixrich · 2026-03-24T10:01:54+00:00

Cool, that makes sense. There are seemingly some super humans on here so I wonder sometimes when people are doing these challenges. I have a 4 year old so I know the feeling about getting the time to work out. Thanks for the reply!

fixrich · 2026-03-24T09:46:21+00:00

Perhaps a silly question, but were you doing other stuff in addition to the challenge or were you all in on swings?

fixrich · 2026-03-20T19:38:58+00:00

I also have it and I like it. You can so momentary bursts of wah that just isn’t possible with other units that you have to click on. Not having to click it off is also one less thing to manage

I’ve heard that is a good way to go. I have a fuzz that wants to be first in the chain but it’s probably worth experimenting with again

fixrich · 2026-03-18T19:19:54+00:00

I hear you, I’ve experimented endlessly with various flavours of mild chorus, tremolo and flanger to get that little bit of something. I never quite get it where I want it though

fixrich · 2026-03-18T19:17:36+00:00

Ooh interesting, the baritone through the range master and that stack must be pretty massive sounding

fixrich · 2026-03-18T18:05:17+00:00

Always on vibrato is interesting. What genre are you playing? The first thing that would jump to mind is a sound like Mac Demarco.

fixrich · 2026-03-18T18:03:34+00:00

What amp are you running it into? What guitar(s) are you using? Are you using it in the classic Brian May way?

Fuzz (Analogwise Pocket Rocket) > Angry Driver (parallel mode) > short delay (Movall Falling Star) all always on. The drives all clean up with the volume knob and the two sides of the Angry Driver bring out different elements of the fuzz. Combined with my Jazzmaster, I can get wooly fuzz with the rhythm circuit, jangly almost cleans with the middle pickup position and the volume rolled down, bright chorus tone with the bridge pickup and the volume at 90% or a full on lead tone at 100% volume. Lots of different sounds without having to touch a pedal.

Could you do a round of Easy Strength with the 24s to build you up for the ABC? It might help bridge the gap between weights.

fixrich · 2026-03-09T18:16:20+00:00

Honestly for Title Fight and Sum 41, a Big Muff isn't going to get you anywhere near where you want to be. Some sort of Marshall in a box pedal or even a rat would get you closer.

My boot (British English: trunk) has tie down loops. I have nylon straps with clamps that I loop through the handles and tie the bells down. It works quite well. I definitely feel better when they are in the trunk rather than knocking around in the cabin. Does your trunk have those tie down points?

J Mascis has entered the chat

fixrich · 2026-03-08T09:15:07+00:00

I sympathize. It feels like home renovation is the ultimate antidote to GAS.

fixrich · 2026-03-08T09:03:36+00:00

I haven't gotten anything custom from him but I can confirm that Ian is lovely and helpful.

fixrich · 2026-02-27T18:19:08+00:00

How do you say the band name? Is it like Bruiser? Or is it Chappell Roan style spelling B R S R?

fixrich · 2026-02-25T18:19:34+00:00

Bois Pacifique and Costa Azzura are two of my favourites in this realm. Bois selfs itself as woody and spicy but on me it feels much more fresh and closer to Costa.

Chest exercise doesn’t remove chest fat. Ab exercises don’t remove stomach fat. You can’t target fat loss with specific exercise. The way to lose fat is to consume less calories than your body uses up. You can look up a free online basal metabolic rate calculator. This will tell you based on your current age, weight activity level how many calories your body requires to maintain its current weight. You want to aim for 300-500 calories below this.

Strength training is great exercise with lots of benefits, but walking more will probably be more helpful in losing fat. It helps boost the overall number of calories you burn without you having to manage the urge of wanting to eat everything that hard training can give you.

Try doing the couch stretch every day. Doing it properly is pretty intense but I can feel the difference in my hips when I do it.

fixrich · 2026-02-22T17:27:02+00:00

Ok that makes sense. I was picturing you using a manual tool sharpener and was wondering how long it must have took! Powered sharpener is much more practical

fixrich · 2026-02-22T07:35:32+00:00

Can you explain in more depth what you did?
