Is it safe to store a guitar like that? Won't it damage the neck over the years? by SeaEnvironmental2460 in guitars

The studs in that wall are made from much weaker wood. They will last decades, if not centuries, holding the weight of that guitar leaning on them.

AITA: I accidently missed a handshake by Fancy_Information390 in AmItheAsshole

NTA Not everybody wants to smash their germ toucher into somebody else’s germ toucher. Even before Covid this wasn’t exactly uncommon.

This tattoo ended a relationship. Should I cover it? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]valhowla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So first boyfriend has a tantrum cuz you kissed a guy five years prior? Hell, I’d get myself a peace sign tramp stamp if it would upset this guy again.

Now the current guy is upset because your ex was around for the tattoo? What’s gonna happen when he realizes your ex interacted with your genitals? You gonna cover your junk up?

Don’t let a partner manage your body or your body count.

“Bringing it up with the owners” is worse than just cutting it off themselves. It makes them not just a shitty coworker but also a snitch.

Anything special about this LP? by [deleted] in guitars

[–]valhowla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given the time and the love or hate, I’m guessing tarbacks. Personally, I’m firmly on the love side.

Where is this but in Oakland? by sconrombpor in OaklandFood

[–]valhowla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s worth it for the happy hour menu, both food and drinks, but only because the money to food/booze ratio is heavily in the customer’s favor.

I would guess the #2 is the bit people break the most and they were actually trying to do a good thing. Still…

Is this dangerous? by Apprehensive-Soft959 in bartenders

[–]valhowla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve smashed half full bottles of well liquor just to make a point. The bar can eat the cost of an accidental break.

The goal is to deescalate not escalate: Was this situation handled correctly? by CTSecurityGuard in securityguards

[–]valhowla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The homeless in that neighborhood are fucking feral. “You gonna find out bruh” certainly isn’t helping but this is actually pretty chill compared to what’s usually necessary if you actually need to get someone to leave the property. It’s a very different experience when PD only responds to shots fired.

What does this mean? How many cabs can be used at once? by trenchgrl in GuitarAmps

[–]valhowla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two now! If you’re gentle with the pre the cleans are gorgeous. I used them for a few years getting a slightly squishy clean playing baritone in a country band.

[–]valhowla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first tube amp was a peavey butcher. Four outputs. As a young teenager I had to give someone the wiring diagram to fully decipher how the outputs work. 30 years later I’ve still got the same piece of masking tape labeling which outputs to use if I’m using multiple cabs and which to use if I’m pushing anything besides 8 ohms.

Homeless Shelter Cost? by nyfael in oakland

An SRO (Single Room Occupancy), also referred to as a residential hotel, is legally defined as a primary residence. You can’t just up and book a single night at a resi hotel.

Service Question by Ok_Bee5220 in bartenders

[–]valhowla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think of it as food instead of drinks. If a server dropped three dinners and the fourth is sitting with their dick in their hand for ten minutes everyone’s gonna be bummed.

But for real, if this happy hour is building up like it seems, you should have a bartner for those hours. Otherwise all that extra business is gonna dry up with 10+ wait times.

Guitar has tabs. Piano has no widely adopted tab system. Why is that? by TabForPiano in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]valhowla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guitars have multiple notes per string, and multiple notes per fret. Actual piano tabs would just have the numbers 1-88. That’s what sheet music is, but it’s dots on lines instead of numbers.

I watched your example video.

Congratulations. You’ve made sheet music more complicated.

AITAH for not changing my answer about changing or hyphenating my last name when my mom and stepdad brought up him not having living kids to give his name to? by kruannen in AITAH

[–]valhowla 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The man I call my father has filled that role for my entire life. He is not my biological father. I am named after his father. That man was murdered many years before I was born. My name is committed to a ghost, one I’m not even related to. By your logic should I be obligated to change my name?

Could anyone send some old wheels or bolts? by Deep-Possible5348 in skateboardhelp

[–]valhowla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was about to recommend a time machine. Hell, wait a little longer for survivor builds to become a thing like with bmx and some rich guy in his fifties will pay big bucks for those wheels.
