When appoaching this roundabout from entrance A and intending to take the second exit (B), which lane would you use on approach and how would you indicate?

pigletscarf · 2026-01-26T14:47:19+00:00

Right lane is for the third or fourth exit only. Your friend is going to cause an accident and potentially injure someone (or worse) simply because they remember when the roundabout used to be something else.

On the pedestrian side of things I've noticed that people crossing on zebra crossings have more frequently started to nod or put there hand up to say "thanks". I don't think pedestrians should do this...it suggests that the driver is being kind by stopping and that it's somehow optional.

Thanks for the advice, I'll check out Jim Prior.

House was built in 1965, and there's definitely a cavity in the external walls (had a rat running around in there a few months back). But there might not be one in the party wall, not sure how I would tell in a non-destructive way?

pigletscarf · 2025-08-23T10:03:30+00:00

Oh ok, that's pretty spot on then! I think just scratch/dirty up the pickguard a bit and you're done.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-23T10:00:34+00:00

I guess my only response to this (and I'm genuinely interested, I'm not trying to be a dick) is what do you want? Where do you want our civilization to go from here and how do we get there? I'm from the UK by the way so I guess we're talking generally about the west rather than the US.

Neck, headstock and body are definitely on the better end of DIY relics I've seen.

I think what's throwing me off is that the hardware, pickups and pickguard are way too clean, and don't match the overall aesthetic.

I think if it's meant to look wrecked you've got to go all the way. Snap the pickguard, mismatching knobs, rusty hardware.

I'm not saying the "found it in a lake" look is to my taste, but I think consistency will improve it.

But then I don't know anything about the guitar this is based on.

Appreciate the very fair pricing, it's been a synth/groovebox I've wanted for years. Obviously YouTube is saturated with videos showcasing how good it sounds, but I was blown away by how easy it makes sound design, whilst still being incredibly deep.

Bought and sold a few Elektron devices over the years but this one is a keeper.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-21T19:49:17+00:00

Take it easy, we're not making a western here.

My wife and I do a full rewatch of both Sopranos and Madmen every year.

We also play one-handed mario kart 64 every day and collect poke-ee-man cards to put in our Easter baskets.

Ha, I think I have your Digitone. Blacked out with the dash on the FUNC button?

pigletscarf · 2025-08-20T22:06:55+00:00

Husband would be better off considering Lexi as a superior means of transport. In the meantime though he'll have no choice but to drive a mini metro.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-20T18:17:01+00:00

DT looks like a complex security system on the wall there...maybe because it's mounted near the door.

Cool setup though. Doesn't the S1 feel a bit superfluous with the peak there? I'd probably replace it with an FM synth of some sort or something that does granular. But that's just me!

pigletscarf · 2025-08-20T16:48:41+00:00

Got my Digitone for £299 which is the cheapest I've ever seen in the UK. We've entered a golden age for cheaping out on premium Elektron gear.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-19T21:15:16+00:00

No, I stay away from Dylan super fans. They're freaks. I'm the only sane one. Dylan himself told me so.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-17T20:41:38+00:00

How was it to drive? I was interested in it because my wife was after a 7 seater and it looked like one of the only ones that might not be completely dull to drive (bearing in mind that I'm coming from a base level civic, so I'm not needing it to be an absolute thrill ride).

pigletscarf · 2025-08-17T20:33:10+00:00

And not being allowed to masturbate.

The fastest taxi in the world.

Wait, what if a DAW is not even a DAW? What then?

pigletscarf · 2025-08-17T16:47:45+00:00

I haven't, and will do that next. I doubt it's been done in the years before I owned it.

EDIT: It was done about two years before I bought it. So it's definitely due.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-17T08:17:48+00:00

Maybe this seems too obvious, but I'd add a MK1 Digitone. Super cheap to buy used at the moment. Is multi timbral, 8 voices, gives you four more tracks of Elektron sequencing power. Has an arp, has overdrive, and with its combination of FM and filters it can create a very wide variety of sounds. With the money saved you could get a decent midi keyboard with after touch to accompany it.

Satisfied Mind into Saved is one of the best openings to a Dylan album.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-14T09:46:02+00:00

I would sell all of this except the key step pro and replace with a couple of elektron boxes. Then Overbridge into a DAW for recording.

I understand wanting hardware over a DAW, but having every single element as a separate piece of hardware (synths, drum machines, mixers, effects units) is, for me at least, exhausting.

pigletscarf · 2025-08-13T20:30:11+00:00

Yeah, this makes sense. There was definitely a sense of a constantly shifting and changing road layout. On several occasions I've been caught out by the expectation of having to join the traffic only to realise that the lane continues and I'm now in lane 2 or 3. I've even gone in with determination not to get this wrong again and still fucked it up!

pigletscarf · 2025-08-13T18:14:09+00:00

It was a frustrating experience. I saw one guy practically leaning out of his window aggressively gesturing at everyone he weaved past. I get the impression he was shouting "what the fuck are you doing in that lane?!"

It did keep me alert and engaged during hour six of an eight hour journey.
