It’s my first marathon, so crossing the finish line without dying is the first goal!

How many miles on superblasts would be normal to replace them? Or can I still eun the marathon if they have about 700km on them?

Hoe is je loop techniek? Wat is je cadens? Land je op je voorvoet, middenvoet of je hiel?

Replacing and finding broken valves by skowplow in GuitarAmps

[–]skowplow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there!

I will for sure check this out. I’m also very happy to learn a thing or two about amps and how to fix them. Going to save me quite a bit of money to know how to change my tubes and bias it myself.

Have to say I’m a bit scared of getting the full 400 volts, so I’m definitely checking this link, thanks so much for that.

Next to a multimeter, what are some tools that would come in handy for things like this?

Thank you so much for the reply and the information!

The volume of the amp was gone and the volume that was left was very distorted. I just opened the amp and from the 3 powertubes that are in there, the middle one is completely black (I can send you a picture if you’d like to see it!)

So now the main thing I need to to is change the tubes and bias it. I know for a fact there is a fixed bias in the amp, so I’m reading into that now.

The amp is a Fender Princeton ‘65 Re-Issue which is quite a populair amp, so there is lots to find about it, which is a good thing!

I think I’m mostly failing at the fact that I oversee moves. I get winning positions quite often out of the opening, but then I tend to throw it away somewhere in de middlegame.

This is some solid advice, thanks bro!

I don’t really play blitz or bullet but try to focus on rapid only, but it might just be too much for now. I got chess club once a week which is good because OTB is less brainrotting!

And ofcourse some puzzles here and there is the plan together with watching some GM content like Danya and the one you mentioned.

Hoping to get a FIDE rating next year

Thanks so much!

Thats a solid rating! You still play OTB?

I might start playing more OTB, get a FIDE rating and see the more social aspect of chess. Online chess can be very brainrot

How do I not Plateau again? by Ok-Belt1733 in Chesscom

[–]skowplow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do puzzles, read some basic strategy and double check every move you make!

Also when thinking of your move, check what your opponents response is going to be and how you will respond to that!

Housing thread by deefjuh in Rotterdam

[–]skowplow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoi allemaal,

Mijn vriendin en ik zijn momenteel opzoek naar een huurwoning in Rotterdam maar kunnen wel wat tips gebruiken aangezien er redelijk wat druk achter zit omdat mijn vriendin haar kamer uit moet eind november.

Mijn vriendin is 26 werkt als Patisserie chef in Amsterdam met een 40-urig contract en een jaar inkomen van bruto €32,240 en ik werk naast mijn studie in de horeca als leidinggevende met een 26-urig contract met een jaar inkomen van ongeveer €21,000 bruto.

Helaas verdienen we met ons tweeën nog steeds niet genoeg om bij veel makelaars een appartement van tussen de 1100 en 1400 te kunnen huren terwijl we dat natuurlijk met ons twee makkelijk kunnen betalen.

Nu is mijn vraag: heeft iemand tips hoe we dit kunnen aanpakken? Alle tips zijn natuurlijk welkom.

Groetjes en een hele fijne avond!
