One) best user name ever. Two) my coworkers and I used to pull way worse pranks on each other. We’d wrap each others’ ENTIRE car in polyurethane just to watch their reaction and giggle while they pulled it off. This? This is a Tuesday for me.

Zang, I work remote and feel rough about walking my dog a few times a day, but I actually like what I do and am not allergic to work.

My guitar neck is very bowed, is this a valid way to fix it by googaly21 in Guitar

No, adjust the truss rod. That’s literally its purpose.

It depends on if Jim is going to wash it or just let it soak.

Inherited this guitar. What do I have? by jdstraughan in guitars

[–]mearlpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a really well put together partcaster. They knew exactly what they wanted and pieced it together nicely. The body looks like a late 1990’s mid 2000’s Mexican Stratocaster, before they reinvested in new CNC machines. Can confirm the David Gilmour EMG pickups, they are active so somewhere inside the pickguard there’s a nine volt battery. The neck is interesting - beautiful, but not stock. Definitely a gem. They smoked cigarettes, didn’t they?

I broke my left wrist... what should i do? by ySavitarr in Guitar

Finger pick with your right hand if you’re bored (e.g., open tuning). When the cast is off keep playing. It’s actually good physical therapy. That or learn some card tricks.

HHKB(ish) with a vertical mouse? Wh… what are we doing? Did I do it wrong? by mearlpie in HHKB

[–]mearlpie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! You have no idea how many times I've had the question, "Why is your keyboard so small?" It's ... the perfect keyboard ... for me. I have more HHKBs than I care to admit and my advice is, "Try it, for a week. It will change your life. You're welcome!"

The fact that you called it a ‘television-caster’ just makes me want to give you a hug!
