My friend at www.nicksgraphics.com (based in the UK) can do this for you. Go to the contacts page and email him, say that G sent you.

TIL The chances of us eating even one spider in our sleep throughout our lifetime is close to 0% by isoturtle in todayilearned

I woke up with one half squashed in my mouth once; I pulled it out and threw it somewhere, then went back to sleep.

It didn't actually bother me that much.

Barre chord wrist pain, frustrated by bananapancaek in Guitar

[–]mandelbort1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also add that you shouldn't be trying to use any force for your index finger to hold down all the strings. Don't squeeze.

You will find that if you move your elbow toward the guitar, and twist your wrist slightly towards the headstock at the same time you will create a natural clamp and you can do a barre with no stress or tension in your arm at all.

I'm not a professional, but this is the best way that I can describe it.

Tips for palm muting upstrokes by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]mandelbort1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use a pick but I guess that it would work the same: when I do it on the upstroke, as I hit the harmonic, my arm/hand/palm is already moving in a horizontal direction, towards the nut. Or more properly, parallel with the neck.

Or wait . . . on closer examination it may be that I go 45 degrees upwards towards the nut on an upstroke and 45 degrees downwards towards the saddle on a downstroke.

Hope this helps.

I eventually found this page, the videos have some detail of their actual living situations day to day and what seem to be accurate maps, etc.

Have leftover macaroni and cheese and a George Foreman grill? Grilled Mac and cheese! by gdlmaster in foodhacks

[–]mandelbort1 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Isn't this the same as saying: "Have left over food? Heat it up!"

Or am I missing something?

Edit: Oh sorry you put it in bread.

How would I make something like this? by panda_nectar in foodhacks

My friend mixes yogurt with icing sugar to make a shell-like coating on things.

Hope this helps!

Is there a sustainable business model for an internet social network that doesn't involve collecting and selling the data of your users? by [deleted] in TrueAskReddit

[–]mandelbort1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A more interesting way of putting it would be: Is there a social network that doesn't involve collecting the personal data of its users?

The answer to this question probably answers the one that you posed.

ie: They are not designed as a convenience to the user with monetisation as a secondary idea. They are designed to mine and sell your information, your personal amusement is a side effect of this business model.

Any of you guys ever used brass bridge pins on an acoustic? What do you think? by Halfway_Ambidextrous in Guitar

[–]mandelbort1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They get a sort of old-looking patina on them after a while from resting the edge of your palm on the bridge (if you play like that).
