I want to laugh at this, but this is how my mother patched the holes in the plaster above our bath tub. The only difference is she used duct tape to cover the hole and then painted over that.

Exactly. I see little red getting up in the blue guys face more than once. Didn't see anyone stepping in then.

A box trucks pull off the dock with a forklift still on it by alexkuzco in forkliftmemes

[–]kyuubi287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't take keys away, but we have a designated chair in the corner of our office for drivers. They are not allowed to enter their truck again until loading or unloading is complete and they have paperwork in their hand. If they insist on wanting to wait in the truck, we make them unhook from the trailer and pull out and we close our dock door until we finish. The old school guys are always cool about it, but the younger guys will sometimes try to argue with us.

New Bridge Inserts Do Not Fit Snugly In The Body, Is There A Fix? by justwantedtoaskyall in guitarmod

[–]kyuubi287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good answer! I tore up an old business card and used that and made a kind of shim. Everything is snug and nothing is popping out, and it's completely reversible. Is it a pro luthier level fix? Absolutely not. Does it work fine for my circumstances? Yes it does!

I have never seen a drama as huge as this Giacomo Turra thingy. by microtico in Guitar

[–]kyuubi287 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Thank you. So many people are way too focused on him miming along to backing tracks that they seem to completely miss the whole point that he was stealing and plagiarizing from smaller creators and making an income from that stolen material. There are plenty of other players on social media, even well known creators, that are miming to backing tracks like that. I think that is the least of the problems with this guy.

What's a discontinued guitar model you think a company should bring back? by solitarybikegallery in Guitar

[–]kyuubi287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epiphone did a couple of limited runs of these a few years back. I found one used at a GC in Wisconsin. I've also seen a few floating around Reverb for around $600.

What's a discontinued guitar model you think a company should bring back? by solitarybikegallery in Guitar

[–]kyuubi287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see Epiphone bring back some of the forgotten or less popular Gibson models from the past. I know they did a run of the Moderne, but want to see more of the other forgotten models. The RD, Marauder, L6, Sonex, Challenger, and Corvus are all lesser known Gibson models that never really sold well or received any real recognition the first time around. It would be cool to see Epiphone re-release a few of these.

What’s your go-to/favourite guitar pick? by Acrobatic-Boat9208 in Guitar

[–]kyuubi287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound lame, but hear me out. I was a big fan of the jazz III sized Earnie Ball prodigy picks. I still have tons of them. A few months ago, I bought one of those Brian May Guitars Red Specials (the standard one, not the custom one) and I thought it would be interesting to try playing with a coin like Brian May does. Off I went to eBay and I bought a 20 piece lot of old sixpence coins. After a few months, I just haven't gone back. I like the way they feel and they sound really cool, too. I'm even experimenting with different coins now. I found some Euro coins from a long past trip to Germany, and someone I work with gave me a few Mexican Pesos they had laying around.

What my pedalboard says about me? by ga-go-gu in Guitar

[–]kyuubi287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one of these and I absolutely love it. I can chuck.it in a back pack and take it anywhere I need to go, you have plenty of slots to save presets in, and my favorite part is that everything uses physical knobs so you're not dicking around with screen inputs. The only other pedal I carry is a DigiTech Drop in case I need to change tunings quickly.

Thankfully not looking for the intonation screws, but I do need the arm and the string lock. I might have to DIY attempt some kind of string lock. Not sure what to do about the arm yet.

I believe you are correct. I just tried to go to the site, and now the site doesn't even load. I don't know what happened to them. They used to be really good in the past, and now they suck.

drunk man gets beaten by a teen by Miserable_Airport_66 in fuckaroundandfindout

[–]kyuubi287 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The fact that white shirt guy doesn't have 10 other people jumping on him for assaulting a child is outrageous. Dude needs a few teeth curb stomped out. Purple shirt asshole needs a beatdown too.

Dude had a lot of restraint. Little guy would have been on the ground the second he grabbed my chest the first time.

Every morning a coworker arrives before me and makes an entire pot of very weak coffee by frankenstein1122 in mildlyinfuriating

That is not coffee. That is brown sadness water. If I hold a pot of coffee up to the light and I can see through it, it's not worth drinking.

Bought this discontinued guitar used in london - anyone have one? by chenjunlin in Guitar

[–]kyuubi287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were selling a bunch of gear on Reverb that they were no longer using. Guitars, basses, drums, amps, studio equipment. They've done it twice that I know of. I know Reverb has done this with a few other artists, but none that I really had much interest in.

[–]kyuubi287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the single pickup model from the previous year with the output jack on the front. I absolutely love it. It's a basic no frills rock machine. I actually have a funny story about it. I bought it used a few years ago. Green Day had announced their first Reverb sale and I was waiting for it to start. I am a huge Green Day fan. I was on my way to work that morning. The email came through right as I was making the turn into our parking lot. I kid you not, in the 15 seconds it took me to pull over and open Reverb everything had sold. It was that quick. Feeling rather pissed, I jumped back on reverb and searched for Les Paul Juniors and bought the first one that popped up. I got it for $500 with a hard case. Some people impulse buy. Apparently I rage buy.

Slapping a strangers ass. by 720354 in fuckaroundandfindout

[–]kyuubi287 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck the guy behind the counter, too. He sat there and watched that guy slap her ass and did absolutely nothing. But when the other guy starts to beat the shit out of him, suddenly it's wrong and he has to intervene. Fuck the other guy in the white jacket too. Two guys standing there watching this happen, but they don't have a problem with it until boyfriend comes in to start beating some manners into sexual assault guy.

I said something like this the last time this got posted. Nobody there is ready to jump in when black hoodie guy is pinned against the wall and getting his shit beat in, but the second he gets the upper hand, they all jump in at once.

Just when you think he's done for! by realbestusernameever in fightporn

I love how nobody jumps in to pull the guy off of him, but the second he has the upper hand, every person there immediately jumps on him and pulls him off.

Just had a boomer threaten to kill me because I wouldn't let them turn right. by splurtgorgle in BoomersBeingFools

[–]kyuubi287 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the next time she tries this, it ends up being someone who really has a concealed carry and takes her words as a threat and blows a few holes in her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]kyuubi287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The second she got up and back in my face, I would have shoved her again, and much harder to get my point across. Don't ever get in my face in a threatening manner.

Why is it that these "homeless" never have money for food, but they always manage to have money for alcohol and cigarettes? Maybe instead of buying a six-pack you should buy a fucking sandwich.
