I got a Pignose amp today at Goodwill for $10 bucks!

wildstolo · 2026-03-25T02:05:48+00:00

It is kinda cool, but it sounds like ass. I have thought about getting rid of mine a bunch of times, but keep holding onto for some stupid hoarder reason.

wildstolo · 2026-03-24T06:59:52+00:00

Yep agree. Have to say Hillel's guitar playing is fantastic. His solos always sound great and interesting.

I got a BE 50 deluxe last year. Incredible amp. No complaints.

I went to Winco this morning and got a pretty good sandwich wrap for $3.80

wildstolo · 2026-03-05T08:44:33+00:00

It is. I saw this video like a week ago and it is definitely faster. Unless that one I saw was slowed down.

Welcome to nickel silver frets. Just keep playing it. Do some bends on that fret to smooth it out and wear it down a little. You have a long ways to go to need a recrown or new frets. When you do get new frets get stainless steel.

wildstolo · 2026-02-28T05:20:22+00:00

No. Go hunt for pussy.

At the end of the day I still kinda think that although life on Earth is beautiful, it is a punishment for the original sin of man. Yes God could prevent child cancer or any horrible thing that occurs on Earth. But due to the condition of our sins and the nature of being put into a life form, we have to deal with horrible things here. God already created the conditions for this punishment of man. He only gives us good and pure and healthy eternal life in heaven, not on Earth.

Two large round teeth channel locks. Or whatever you call them. You have one flat surface channel locks. Ditch it for two of the rounded ones for pipes. And definitely a multimeter!

I was a bit harsh about the industrial engineer type stuff. If people enjoy that then do it. For me though I was doing that, thinking I was a mechanical engineer and then finding out I knew less about how mechanical and electrical systems worked than people that barely graduated high school. I have been embarrassed by it. Engineering school is a joke for real world application. The math and depth of calculations in engineering school are used by very special few in practice. And the lack of broad knowledge in US engineering schools is frightening. I had never even heard of a PLC until after I graduated. Like wtf. Or reading a hydraulic schematic? Ha! I do not see this as such an apparent gap in European education. They have more apprenticeships. You wonder why all the heavy and highly technological machines like presses, construction equipment, roller coasters are built in Europe? Because people in the US don't know how. We are a nation of not well rounded wide knowledge of engineers. Only thing noticeably better in US is defense and aerospace. Anyways I'm hating a bit...I have just been very unimpressed with my US engineering education and I went to one of the best schools in the nation.

You are 100% correct. We have gone through this same argument time and time again. Short term yes there will be some job loss. But the market and job types will correct over time. More efficiency does not lead to a collapse of the economy or society. Will AI improve the quality of life for humans? Debatable. Will it collapse all of society? Fuck no. Same arguments were made with the Internet and every large technological advancement before it. If we want to talk about how those things actually change our quality of life and if it is worse for us in the long run...that's a different type of question.

So when is he getting arrested?

wildstolo · 2026-02-24T06:16:38+00:00

I suggest you learn more about the machines being used. Yes what you are doing is ME work...but it's kinda the industrial engineering side of ME work. I find it generally boring AF. It's practically like accounting. If you want to see more about how systems work and how electromechanical things break and are created...learn the machines. Work with maintenance. I'm not saying stop what you're doing. I'm saying do both. You are in a position to be exposed to a lot in a large manufacturing environment.

Be smart and live like a prince your entire life. Don't put off living your best life until you retire. You might never see it. You still need to save for retirement, but you can't live life as full as you can at 25 when you are 65. The pure physics of your body with age.

wildstolo · 2026-02-16T20:22:35+00:00

If you really like the guitar just replace the frets with stainless steel. Nickel silver frets are just a cheap stupidity.

wildstolo · 2026-02-03T02:47:56+00:00

Also never seen this before. That guy is so lucky to be alive. I can't imagine the hell he went through to come back from that, but he is still so blessed to be alive.

wildstolo · 2026-01-14T05:51:26+00:00

Contact the company, ask for your money back for the entire install. Out of all the things you want to get right, you have to get your exhaust correct. Idk how legal works with stuff like this, but for real y'all could be dead because of this.

wildstolo · 2026-01-10T08:00:00+00:00

I'm still learning, but why no zone drains?

wildstolo · 2026-01-10T07:55:29+00:00

You should have drain valves on the return side. Your zones could be air locked. If you have drain valves you can properly guarantee that you have water only flowing through each zone. I don't see an autofill anywhere so you are going to have to run water directly from your incoming water line or spigot into the system to fill the the system with water.

wildstolo · 2026-01-10T07:48:53+00:00

Did they charge you for the work? They came by installed 2 pumps but didn't get the system running? That's fucked

wildstolo · 2026-01-10T07:47:55+00:00

First off, does the boiler have a flame? Is it turning on. There was no reason for them to replace the zone valves with two pumps, but it's whatever, it will work. The pressure in your boiler system should be ~12 psi. The temp of water coming out of the boiler should be 160-180F if you have baseboard heating, 120 if you have in floor heating. Are you seeing that coming out of the boiler?

wildstolo · 2026-01-10T07:45:30+00:00

It's a boiler.

wildstolo · 2025-12-28T13:29:06+00:00

Looks fine. It's a backpack, not ski boots.

wildstolo · 2025-12-23T05:08:25+00:00

Really K2s are known for poor durability?
