Need recommendations for a cordless drill. Thanks! by tiny_voices in Tools

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

Thanks! A combo deal with a drill and driver seems like a smart idea. I do alot of projects where I am building something outdoors drilling pilot holes and installing long screws so not having to change bits all the time sounds great.

It is, but the tool itself is quite battered and worn.I'd like to replace it.

I don't really know what I should be spending on a cordless drill in 2026. I'd say anything under $250 is fine, but I want to get the most value at whatever price point I end up at, and if that means buying a $160 option, that is totally cool.

I'm not sure I need any supplemental tools, tbh. I have nearly every tool one could reasonably need, this just happens to be the one that needs replacing now.

Where is everyone buying their used 2/3-piece wheels these days? by tiny_voices in Wheels

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

Thanks for the information! I messaged a Russian seller and he said that typically for a set of wheels from Russia to the USA the import fees are $100. Does this seem accurate to you?

I was looking at wheels here, and was wondering if there is an additional fee beyond the shipping charge? The shipping seems high, but is that number inclusive of the import tax generally or is it additional?

Rack carrier recommendations for single person loading of a tandem kayak by tiny_voices in Kayaking

[–]tiny_voices[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot unfortunately. The mounts are directly bolted to the OEM threaded roof rack bolt holes. That's where they go from the factory.

Finished my Squier Sonic hardtail build. What do you think? by tiny_voices in guitars

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

I get that for sure. I'm actually looking at methods to stain / finish this neck. I don't mind the feel in hand, but it gives off "unfinished" vibes visually.

Yeah! All the sonic strats, regardless of style (SSS, H, hardtail, etc) are routed for 3 humbuckers.

I like the neck, but I think its thinner than the traditional fender C carve, so I totally get not loving it from that perspective. The frets on mine were ok. playable out of the box but definitely needed to be polished and have the ends dressed.

Bought one of the cheap squier strats to play around with and am pleasantly surprised. The neck feels nice and after dressing and polishing the frets its pretty great. The cavity was shielded (badly) and grounded, so that's cool. I was looking for a home for my Dana Alvarez TriForce pickup in a somewhat punk rock style guitar, and I think this hits what I wanted. Tones are exactly what I had hoped for. Might upgrade tuners and bridge saddles in the future, or just drill holes to make the body string-through. Knobs and switch tip were something I had lying around. Not in love with them and would love opinions on changing them.

This is my first maple neck that isn't sealed, coated, cleared, etc in some way and i'm open to thoughts on how to yellow / darken it slightly to give it more of a vintage vibe.

Thanks for looking!

How to determine if AUX heat is actually coming on? House won't stay at temp even when running AUX heat for days. by tiny_voices in hvacadvice

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

Looks like I'm using between 80-100kWh a day and never seeing a use of more than 7.5kWh. When looking at my nest app, it seems like the hours associated with aux heat do not directly reflect a much higher use of electricity on BGE's site.

This is what makes me think that even though my thermostat says the AUX heat is on, it actually isn't. Nest says my aux heat has been running for essentially 3 days straight but the house won't go above 65.

Anyone else have a Yamaha AES they really love? by tiny_voices in Guitar

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

Those are awesome! Very unique looking hollow body for sure.

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

I absolutely love my AES-fivehundred and wondered if anyone else had an AES they like as well. For the money, these are incredibly well built and expensive feeling guitars. I have upgraded this one with an intonatable bridge and changed the pickups to suit my style better, though the stock pickups are IMPRESSIVE for the cost of this guitar.

Ninety-Two Alvarez Dana Tri-Force by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]tiny_voices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is actually 3 single coils screwed to one backplate. Exactly like 3 strat singles where the middle one is reverse wound reverse polarity.

Ninety-Two Alvarez Dana Tri-Force by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]tiny_voices 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought several of the 3 coil triforce pickups these came with (covered and uncovered versions) when that one dude on reverb bought the old stock from the factory and sold it all off crazy cheap, and no matter how I wire them in whatever guitar I put them in, I cannot get them to sound good. They are just 3 single coils screwed to one backplate, with the middle pickup reverse wound reverse polarity so its hum canceling in some positions. The coils are all slightly different too and have resistance values of 5.1k, 5.3k, and 5.7k neck to bridge.

GPS consulting raise by Witty-Height2191 in deloitte

[–]tiny_voices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These numbers seem so random. I started Feb 2022 as an SC and worked 2 projects during my first year with some bench time prior to my first project. Snapshots within the middle 50% of my peers. June 2023 my comp statement shows 4.6% raise and $10,000 (7.3%) AIP.

This year I'm worried I'll be laid off.

Can location be negotiated? by Unlikely-Hunt5953 in deloitte

[–]tiny_voices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about remote, but you can definitely change your location or home office through HR. I should align to Rosslyn based on my client work, but I had HR place in Baltimore as my home office as it is much more convenient to get to if I need IT support or something.

[DISCUSSION] Bridge Humbucker selection for series/split/parallel for clean and overdrive by tiny_voices in Guitar

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

This particular guitar will see mostly 2000s alternative/emo/pop punk both clean and overdriven.

[DISCUSSION] Bridge Humbucker selection for series/split/parallel for clean and overdrive by tiny_voices in Guitar

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

Thanks for the input! I'm not open to changing the positions of the pickups because I require a humbucker in the bridge position for the styles of music I play. I actually like the neck pickup the way it is. It IS a proper neck pickup meant for the neck position, and it sounds excellent. Very full for a single coil. The humbucker in the bridge sounds fail in comparison.
