There are alternatives for the people who make money off the YouTube.

The Youtubers who do get paid enough to make a living from YouTube also make production quality content and have great gear and staff. They might as well sell their production to any other streaming service.

Something like Veritasium might as well be on Netflix as YouTube. Mr.Beast would fit in on Mtv…

At what point do content creators stop creating content for this?

I think of it as finished software. It’s the MS Paint or Notepad for sound. No development necessary.

The only reason I’ve used it is because Adobe bought CoolEdit and started “developing” it, a.k.a.: Turned it into paid bloatware and changed the name to Audition. So, I found Audacity which is free, small, to the point and quick to use.

If you do need more features you’d probably be better off switching to something else in the first place.

Also the doors. The drivers door is a “suicide door” while the passenger door is normal.

How fast can it stop? I wouldn’t want to first heading against a crossing or wall with 49 people pushing the pedals behind me.

Many places have roads markers every 100m. Or you can count the seconds from any fixed point and figure it out.

I remember the 80s or early 90s, where there were phonebooks in pay phone booths. The first or last pages were maps of the local area and an index of street names, so if you needed to find “groove street” it would be on map 5 section F3.

No problem. Have fun.

I don’t know if there’s a community for this, but anyway, this is my “surf guitar”.:

It’s been a few years but it still looks like the day I made it.

Serious Sam is mindlessly dumb in the good way.

Everyone ought to try driving somewhere they haven’t been before without bringing gps or even printed maps.

Look at a country/state map to get an idea of the general direction beforehand, but then otherwise just drive there and follow the signs as you get closer.

The kit I used was a Harley Benton from Thomann.

In my lunch break I listen to Tom Waits off time.

It was all pretty straight forward. The kit was made to be assembled with a bolt on neck all predrilled, so it was basically just shaping the body and headstock and then paint and varnish.

I did look up some painting techniques, but I really just wanted to stain the wood, so I did that with a brush and then 2 coats of varnish. I had to sand the wood first to make it more open for staining instead of paint. If you want to paint or spray paint you should probably keep or make a base coat to avoid the wood absorbing the paint.

It was a cheap stratocaster-like kit, so I wasn’t too concerned with making mistakes, but I’ll admit that putting the saw into a guitar was a little daunting at first.

I used a multi-cutter for most of it to make very precise cuts. And lots and lots of sandpaper by hand with different grit sizes.

It only took a few evenings to do, so it is not difficult at all, but I guess it depends on how much you want to customize it.

Yes absolutely, I enjoyed it and might do it again sometime with a different kit.

I do have a lot of tools already so that wasn’t costly, only good practice, but it did take somewhat longer than I expected.

I wouldn’t attempt to make the neck and fretboard from scratch, so a kit with a good neck is a good starting point.

I saw a headline on some guitar magazine “These are the most over priced guitars currently”. Says a lot and it’s true.

There’s not much point in throwing money at a brand name anymore. Quality control is long gone and they all come straight out of a factory anyway. It’s alright though, because factory quality is decent, and with a little know-how you can easily make them play good.

My best guitar is a $100 kit-build. Acknowledging that I’d need to do a full setup on any guitar I figured I might as well paint and assemble it myself, because I’m not going to pay several hundreds just for a paint job and a logo.

11 is missing the hour hand in the miniatures.

I have discussed the need for me to nap after work with my wife… At first she didn’t understand why I should skip the homely duties,.but after explaining my drinking habits just to stay awake, and her own schedule and habits looking the same, we have agreed that we all need a fucking nap. Just 40+ y/o things…

Wake-up grogginess is a universal thing for any being with a brain. Even insects (probably).

However most animals have more natural sleeping patterns which includes a whole lot of light napping which won’t cause drowsiness in the same degree. That’s how a dog can also go right from sleeping to barking out the window in less than a second, when it’s only sleeping lightly.

So, when we are amused by a sleep-drunken dog, it’s because it reminds us of the result of our own socially adapted and unnatural sleep cycle and relate it to our own sick experience.

Drowsiness from sleeping can also be a sign of dehydration, so make sure to to get enough water for you and your best friend.

(I just googled it for less than a minute, so I’m an expert now.

It’s always a resistor. Planned obsolescence is basically putting a too small resistor somewhere. The parts they make for repair shops are usually better, so if you do take the time to swap a print, you will have a better appliance afterwards for a fraction of the cost of a new shitty machine.

Soldering the specific resistor can be done too, but for anyone who doesn’t have a stock of resistors and soldering tools/skill it’s usually a easier and just as cheap to get new print if they’re available.
