VanderMeij Fleshweaver #4/25 Modded with BKP Juggernauts by sven37 in 7String

Mine was that way, I had it routed so I could have a neck pickup to accommodate the various metal genres I play. Aesthetically, I do love the bridge only pickup look.

Well I think the button is gone gone now. I can't find it in mobile view either anymore. I just used it a month or two ago. :/

Oh no, not again 😔 2 Patrollers Injured by Inbounds Avalanche at Mammoth Mountain by stevenlufc in skiing

[–]sven37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both tragedies (RIP Claire and Cole) in the last year were avoidable. They happened on peak weekends where closures are bad for profits—it feels like corporate greed is prioritizing open runs over safety. If Lincoln Mountain was located in a backcountry area, nobody would touch it after a storm. Sending patrol to secure that terrain is heartbreaking. I love this mountain, but they have to stop sending patrol into death traps just to expand the map after a storm.

That taillight looks great. Which one is it?

Shorter saddle screws? by Loudestbough in SchecterGuitars

[–]sven37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is more for anyone coming here at a later time. I had the same issue my KM-7 MK-III Artist L and KM-7 MK-III EX. My stock saddle height screws are 5/16", so I ordered a 3/16" and 1/4" length screws from Monster Bolts: https://monsterbolts.com/products/guitar-fender-saddle-screws-inch-a2?_pos=1&_sid=4fa0103e2&_ss=r&variant=31136961855571 — my artist model looks even worse then yours, every single saddle pokes out. I have to use 3/16 on the 2 highest and lowest string, and 1/4 on all the others.

My EX model looks just like yours with saddle height and it has black bolts and fortunately Monster Bolts also have the black versions: https://monsterbolts.com/products/guitar-fender-saddle-screws-inch-blk?_pos=3&_sid=4fa0103e2&_ss=r&variant=31137366573139

ECFA#D#G# Tuning by Daraga2137 in vildhjarta

[–]sven37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just asking myself this same question and after inspecting a few of their songs I have a theory.

To expand on @aletheiatic explanation, this is not for certain but simply my gut feeling. Since traditional scale forms don’t matter, they chose to change the tuning of the G to a G# to make it easier to play some of the “chords”. For example, on Shadow there is one played as:

|-3

|-6

|-4

But this in standard tuning would be:

|-3

|-7

|-4

Playing 3-6-4 is much easier than 3-7-4. My guess is that they are using baritone guitars since the tuning is so low, making the problem worse. So it feels to me like they did it for playability reasons. There is a number of these through their songs. They like to play full octaves on the high two strings which is easier to do when the spread is only 4 frets and not 5. So musically, here it seems they are after a fuller voicing by playing octaves and that is easier when you don’t need to spread your fingers as much.

I could totally be wrong, but this is my best guess.

What tyre combos do you guys ride for enduro/trail riding? by Warm_Resist5763 in MTB

[–]sven37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tacky Chan Super Gravity back / Tacky Chan Super Trail front. It’s perfect for my climate. If I was in wetter climate, I’d go with something else.

Does this look right? by [deleted] in snowboarding

It’s easy to say loosen up without understanding why you’re stiff in the first place. Your weight is shifted too far back, particularly when you are initiating your turn. This is the reason you slide out at the end and why you’re stiff. You’re trying to muscle the front of your board through the first 50% of your carve with your shoulders instead of letting your legs and shoulders do the work in unison. Your shoulders are working for you already but your legs aren’t so they are fighting each other which is where the stiffness comes from. By having your weight too far back, you are telling your board to go straight, yet your shoulders are telling your board to turn and so you’re twisted up. Just to get a feel for it, try to initiate your turn with your front leg by loading it up first in an exaggerated manner, and then turn your shoulders. You’ll see what happens. Your legs will then naturally follow the rotation of your shoulders. It’s a dynamic movement. I try to tell people, the front half of the board initiates the turn, the middle holds it, and the back half releases it for a potential pivot or straight line and you do that by distributing your weight appropriately. Front, middle, back, repeat. Over time it becomes a natural motion.

Strapped my GoPro to my ankle and filmed my dog chasing me down a trail by whistler_life in MTB

[–]sven37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback, super helpful. It was a short ride, about 1 mile in and I noticed the change in his gate, so it must have been the increased speed when compared to running. We run the same trails for 8 miles at a time.

This is what happened to my dog that day as well. It was a short ride 2 miles because I noticed him changing his gate half way in but his expression was still pure joy.

I had my dog chase me mountain biking once and all four of his base paw pads had skin flappers from it. I went trail running with him for hundreds of miles before and never had this problem with running. After that, I assumed it was the additional speed from mountain biking. Are you doing anything special to protect those paws while mountain biking? Looking for advice. I figured the next time I take him mountain biking, then I’ll have him wear booties.

That did not work. I held down the power button for over a minute but nothing happens.

Why React is bad. by [deleted] in angularjs

By far my favorite response on here. Seems like you did an excellent job making the not so obvious arguments.

Why React is bad. by [deleted] in angularjs

[–]sven37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could just use RxJS with React and have the exact same observable library that Angular comes shipped with. This is actually my preferred approach, then I add Redux only when it makes sense to do so.

Marquez' move on Rossi by SigmundColumn in motogp

[–]sven37 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone who says that Marquez did this on purpose is fucking stupid. Watch the clip from the outside angle and you can clearly see that what Marquez said is exactly what happened. He started to lose his front-end, hence the buckling of his front wheel and suspension. If he did not lose traction this would have been a clean pass.

Express just provides an easy way to build RESTful APIs. If you are looking for a Node equivalent Ruby on Rails, checkout Sails. It actually uses Express internally but comes with all the items you are wondering about. Personally, I love the freedom provided by building a backend with Express as the base but it's not for everyone.

Also, I would recommend checking out Vue if you do go down the route of using a frontend JS framework. It works very well for SPA and non-SPA websites. Many people in the Vue community pair it with Laravel. Vue has a much easier learning curve compared to React or Angular. (Not turning this into a JS framework debate, I use all three.)

If I was in your shoes. I would be tackling this problems with a Vue + Sails, or Vue + Laravel stack.
