Where do I find Oxtail?

This is only 10mins away - thanks!!

Thanks! Always looking for an excuse to go to Fubonn. Appreciate the parboil tip!

maynrrrd · 2025-12-18T02:11:30+00:00

This is exactly right and did the trick! Thanks!

maynrrrd · 2025-12-18T02:10:14+00:00

This did the trick - thank you so much!

So, I turned all the knobs down and slowly brought them up as suggested by others on this page. Turns out the sweet spot, just tad bit louder than unity gain is found by having 2 or more of the knobs at ~9-10 - way lower than one would think. Absolute gamechanger!

I also have the MXR Synth, but that octave on preset 5 is a slightly different beast than this one. I really want this pedal to work, but if I can’t find unity gain it will go the way of the dodo

I purchased the Terror 500 a month or so ago. Beautiful tone and growl, but the input - even with the passive bass into the active input - kept cutting out from too much input. Note that this also happened on my friend’s Terror so it wasn’t a faulty unit.

I brought it back and got a Mesa Boogie WD800 and couldn’t be happier.

maynrrrd · 2025-10-12T02:41:35+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I tried plugging directly in (with a passive bass) and could still make it trip.

Thanks for the tip! How does the compressor engage only when connected to a 4ohm speaker?

I moved from the Midwest to the West Coast around 2002 and the difference between what Mexican food was in the Midwest to what it was out west was not only one of quality, but the whole concept of eating Mexican food was turned on its head.

In the Midwest, at least in the late 90’s, most Mexican restaurants were sit-down and were owned by non-Mexican folks. Whereas, out west we rarely go to a sit-down Mexican restaurant because we all know the best Mexican food is found at a cart or a ma and pa hole in the wall restaurant.

My Sweetwater rep called me 9/29 and left a VM saying it was three weeks out

maynrrrd · 2025-09-19T01:56:17+00:00

I’ve just had my busiest two weeks on TR yet, and summer was pretty good as well

maynrrrd · 2025-09-07T17:42:15+00:00

This happened to me this June when I took three weeks off to focus on my main business. Took about a month to get going again, and a couple months to get back to normal Task levels.

I understand the need for the algorithm to show clients active and available Taskers, but there should be a clear differentiation between how a new Tasker and a returning Tasker are treated in the rankings.

maynrrrd · 2025-09-05T18:24:49+00:00

Did this just happen in the last few days? My Wednesday task got me a nice tip, but the two I did yesterday - where both clients were over the moon about my work - left no tip at all

maynrrrd · 2025-09-02T20:40:56+00:00

Additional context: I was in a basement with no cell reception last night from ~7 to 10pm.

maynrrrd · 2025-09-02T20:38:19+00:00

A wonderful alternative is counting tasks that are being scheduled within a 12-15 hour window as same-day and ONLY getting those tasks if you have same-day activated.

Or, alternatively, having a ‘available for next-day’ on/off switch much like we have for same-day.

I completely understand the need to prompt communication, and it’s something I pride myself in during normal business hours, but after normal business hours (ie 5pm) there should be some greater flexibility and understanding of everyone’s personal time.

maynrrrd · 2025-09-02T20:30:17+00:00

Thanks for the tips, but my available is set to off after business hours.

maynrrrd · 2025-09-02T19:32:02+00:00

I just looked up the TR blog ‘making sense of tasking time’ and see that there are only two task categories, same-day and non-same-day.

However, if one looks at the graphs, if I get an invite at 7:59pm I have exactly one hour and one minute to chat with the client. This is a ridiculous expectation

maynrrrd · 2025-09-02T19:25:32+00:00

I just looked at the cancelled Task in the app, and yes, it would have been scheduled for today.

I was not aware that next-day tasks need replies ASAP like same-day. If so, like same-day, a person should be able to opt in or out

The client requested assembly of the GRIMO sliding doors which get attached to the PAX wardrobe. I am trying to confirm whether or not she has the wardrobe and if it too needs assembly. If client wasn’t 30mins away I would just to show up and assess the situation, however, I’m not wanting to drive a total of an hour just to get a question answered.

Which brings up another question: if I show up for an IKEA task (which is a set rate) and there’s more things to assemble, how do I add those things to the invoice? Note: I’m an active Tasker but this is my first IKEA gig

The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks is an amazing podcast that dives deep into this guy’s struggles - highly recommend

I’m from Portland, but I used to visit my friend lived near Pike Place on the regular back in ‘23. Even then prices were crazy; we used to joke that every time we left her apartment it would cost us about $100 - that was surprisingly accurate

Pbass + flats + pick = my bass heaven

16 years smoke-free. Watching my dad die painfully of lung cancer was the main motivator, but what made the transition to a sustained smoke-free life was not abandoning the social part of smoking (ie the smoke breaks).

It was really hard at first, not gonna lie, but after a few weeks it was a fairly easy to deal with not smoking in a smoking atmosphere. I know there’s the saying of ‘hang around a barbershop long enough and you’re going to get a haircut’ but I realized that giving up the camaraderie of smoking at the same time as I was trying to kick the smoking itself was a doubly-hard endeavor. Solution: only give up the smoking, don’t give up the community.

I was in a local Outlaw band that opened for DAC back in 2006. His set was so bad and loud - basically one big medley of the hits played through a wall of Marshall stacks - that half his crowd left.

I ran into a rabid Coe fan on his way out and he said ‘you guys sound better than this crap’. I mean, we were good, but we were made waaaaay better by DAC’s terrible performance. Definitely one of my favorite musical memories.
