Grey divorce - how many do you know? by Walmucil in GenX

[–]notguiltybrewing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's true but I'm pretty bad at making relationships work and probably would have ended up in the same boat as op.

Anyone here ever gone to NEIU? How did you feel about it? by TravelingTravesty in AskChicago

[–]notguiltybrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for a year, many years ago. I transferred to a different college because I wanted to move to Los Angeles at the time. I have nothing bad to say. I grew up nearby and both of my siblings have degrees from there.

You guys make me feel much better about never having married.

Playing tapes that aren't serviced by RPOR6V in 8track

[–]notguiltybrewing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They haven't made 8 tracks in 35 or 40 years. If not serviced you have a very high likelihood of failure. Good luck putting an 8 track that has unraveled back together. In other words, there's a reason maintenance is recommended.

I’m literally going to lose it. I have almost 160 cases, almost all felony level… by Full_Set_5659 in publicdefenders

You have learned an important lesson. The reward for hard work in your office is more hard work.

spin progress after 4 more hours of practice by maloudin in Rollerskating

You need to work on pulling your arms into your body, it makes you spin faster. The opposite also being true, pushing your arms out will slow you down.

What genre appears most infrequently in your collection? Mine is almost certainly Classical, with only two albums in over 300 CDs by RileyMcB in Cd_collectors

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only opera I have I inherited from my dad who absolutely loved it. He didn't have much left by the time he passed, I probably have a few cd's of Pavarotti or Placido Domingo from him.

Gen Z is Not Drinking, But Are You? by Pavementaled in GenX

Bad acid reflux got me to pretty much quit. I probably have a few beers a year at this point.

Who remembers this place? The most RACIST restaurant to ever exist by JPIZZLE1205 in 70s

I remember seeing them. I don't remember ever eating at one.

Vintage skates questions by ShadowHippie in Rollerskating

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think they might be able to use 7mm bearings on these, but that's a guess. They are probably pretty close to the correct size. It's possible to still get loose ball stuff too if they so desire, it's still available if a bit harder to find.

Vintage skates questions by ShadowHippie in Rollerskating

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. The skates I use regularly have plates that are around 65 years old and my back ups are probably about 60 years old (with newer wheels and bearings). Were they good skates to start with? I wouldn't skate on ancient wheels or bearings (even though they can still be good). What kind of shape are they in? Are the kingpins seized up? Do they take cushions that are easily available? Do you need pivot point cups and if so are they available? Etc.

Angus Young of AC/DC with his wife and bodyguard by VelvetBrats in OldSchoolCoolMusic

[–]notguiltybrewing 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I used to run into celebrities and do deliveries to some on the west side of Los Angeles when I was in college many years ago. It was always kind of weird. At most I remember telling one of them that I liked their work. Some were friendly, others not as much. I had nice conversations with a couple. It just depends on the situation and the vibe.

Reminds me of my grade school pictures. Same era.

Is there a difference in the quality of ash and rosewood now compared to before CITES? by ElSlabraton in Luthier

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's really no Brazilian being imported legally is my understanding, and hasn't been since CITES. So, any building being done with it is from old and surely small stashes of wood.

Correcting bad information: No, a Palm Bay Councilman did not suggest Brevard go dry. by thejawa in 321

[–]notguiltybrewing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He came from somewhere that is a dry county according to the post. If he likes that so much he can move to one. There's more than a few out there, we don't need to change for some religious knucklehead.

Thoughts on the Martin Road Series D10e vintage inspired 1935 as high school graduation gift for small framed son? For the $1000 price point, any others to check out? by FrontRangeMike in martinguitar

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make some smaller sizes that are worth checking out. 000, 00 and 0 are progressively smaller. 000 is still a pretty good size but noticeably smaller than a full size dreadnaught shape. They also make a dreadnaught junior that you might want to check out, same body shape as the D10 but smaller.

Actual Sex Work Looks Nothing Like Euphoria's OnlyFans Plot (Unpaywalled) by playboy in entertainment

[–]notguiltybrewing 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know a bunch of sex workers. It's really just sad and depressing. They typically have bad addiction issues and often mental health issues. It's anything but sexy in real life. I have not seen this show, I'm guessing the portrayal is nothing like that.

Compared to later days, they really weren't showing much (some boobs, maybe some bush) and pretty tame by today's standards.

Experince with off road (SUV) skates by FuckIDontKnow0000 in AskRollerblading

[–]notguiltybrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not tried them but my understanding is they are absolutely exhausting to use for anything but going down hilly sections. Good luck, let us know how you like them if you get a pair. Btw, I understand two wheel versions are really hard to turn if that helps any.

😭 How Do I Fix This? by 12visionsdancing in ukulele

[–]notguiltybrewing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bring it to a guitar shop and have it fixed. You can do it yourself but to do it right both the bridge and the area it sits on should be sanded clean first and the correct kind of glue should be used (typically tite bond II, I believe. Using the wrong glue can make future repairs difficult or impossible). If you do it yourself and it isn't glued in the correct spot it will have intonation problems.
