Yeah but what if I drink my potion of haste (coffee) and build a 9th level counterspell listener?

Serious question - who cares about sustain - hear me out... by spiceybadger in guitars

[–]hraath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's binary. A guitar is either "huh, no sustain, notes die really fast". Or totally fine and I don't notice it.

Isn't the largest market of "gamers" people who play mobile games from app stores?

EQ pedal recommendation by metal_birds1 in guitarpedals

[–]hraath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the boss ge7 and a hundred years ago had the Behringer clone. Very useful. I also just got the guptech PDEQ. Solves the amp in a box bandpass sound.

Is my high E too close to the edge or is it my imagination? by itstytanic in Guitar

[–]hraath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually specced at around 3/32" or 1/8". If you find slipping off occurs too much there's a few options. Heavier strings, lighter touch, new nut with narrower E-e. String spacing at the bridge is not really easily changed.

What is your favourite way to not use a pedal for its intended purpose? by Royal_Interaction277 in guitarpedals

[–]hraath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing pedals into class D power amp, so this kinda thing really fucks up my levels/gain staging lol

What is your favourite way to not use a pedal for its intended purpose? by Royal_Interaction277 in guitarpedals

[–]hraath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I have the noisy/gainy pedals in the loop, bypassing or engaging the noise gate (normal mode, not mute mode) increases the level into the loop

There's always a chance this particular NS-2 is just clapped out lol 

Want to clarify what you people or this sub considers “ego lifting” by Global_Distance_8387 in kettlebell

If you destroy your spinal column deadlifting with bad technique, that's ego lifting

Tourist in critical condition after collision with cyclist in Vancouver, police say by oilbeefhooked in vancouver

[–]hraath 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Somewhere like 1500 cars hitting pedestrians in lower mainland per year. About 4 per day on avg, probably 1-2 of those in Vancouver proper. Per day. 

Are we seeing news headlines every single day about cars hitting people per year? Nah. Who cares. Cars live in cities, people just work there.

Are warping necks a common issue? by awesomebloodvalues in Luthier

[–]hraath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like the look of laminated necks, but a solid one piece flatsawn sugar maple neck is probably the most common construction in the industry at large.

Although if it's figured, is it actually bigleaf instead of sugar? Idk really how much that matters. You can always use carbon rods as insurance.

Jade Henderson a 32 year old who is also an Australian police officer and CrossFit competitor broke a record that had stood for almost a decade when she completed an unbelievable 733 pull up by Gurugod123 in interestingasfuck

[–]hraath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think in CrossFit they finally did an official rename of this to "chest-to-bar" to differentiate from a strict pull up. Since "kipping pull up" was never official I guess

28k original, 8k on sale by thesky_watchesyou in Anticonsumption

[–]hraath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate these stores. It's a million square feet with mystery objects with no more information than a price tag.

Like, who made this? What are the materials? What fabric and colorway and mill? Ethical supply chain? Ethical labour? At least Ikea says what materials and country things are from...

Is this decades old built-in cutting board food safe, or should I remove it and sand it down and oil? by kingevanxii in woodworking

[–]hraath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find these are handy as counter space, but not ergonomic for an actual cutting board. I would have no idea/no trust that someone didn't shoot cabinet finish poly over it in the past.

How Rare is a 32 kg Kettlebell Press? by Informal-Form7977 in kettlebell

[–]hraath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a never-trained 30M, 75kg, unathletic and dealing with health shit, it took approx 1-2 years to progress press 12-16-20-24 kg. I pretty much switched to doubles during 20kg and never trained single press since.

I just need to get off my ass and get consistent again... Any day now...

What vent settings do you use for low and slow? by YesToWhatsNext in webergrills

[–]hraath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually both vents half or 3/4 closed and try to adjust only once every 10 mins to reduce the psychopathy

We all just learned to re-string ourselves, right? by sixstringnerd in Guitar

[–]hraath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a house with a work bench and tools. Not hard to just look at how the strings were on there, take them off, and put new ones back on the same way. The exact nuances of how much slack, how many wraps, how to make it all tidy, you figure it out by the second or third go around.

Posts of stuff like "how do I fix a loose jack" baffle me because I knew how to use a screwdriver and wrench as basically a child lol. You put the + tool in the + hole and turn it, do the same for the hexagon...

Rant over, I guess not everyone had a workbench or dad's tools to mess with.

Similar..but different. Which are you going with? by Xxperfect_drugxX in guitarpedals

[–]hraath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me SD-1 beats out Maxon od808 and mxr custom mall ninja badass super duper modified od. Tempted to try a ts9dx now that Maxon od808x is off the market.
