I couldn't tell if the headstock was scarf jointed. If it's a single piece like the original design the bolt on might actually be an improvement.

I think there are a bunch of cycling nerds on this forum. I'm one of them. I took up mountain biking in 2011 after getting pretty unhealthy while I was in school. Turns out hard cardio also addresses many of the more difficult to manage symptoms of adhd (at least for me). So I kept it up...

Quantities, product name, product number, and circuit all in the same cell? Straight to the gulag with this bullshit.

Canada is extremely likely to elect our own populist, conservative government at the next election. Justin Trudeau is extremely unpopular and there's a very active alt-right movement. If you were to flee the states on account of the political climate it wouldn't exactly be a lateral movement...

What I'm worried about with summaries of research papers relates to publisher fiefdoms. Search algorithms for databases like Science Direct are already completely opaque. Competing publishers often have agreements to index content on other platforms. I think it would be completely on brand for...

Academia is losing its collective shit over AI. Every goddamned publisher wants to incorporate it into their products. Every conference is like 50% AI-focused and the presenters seem to be entirely credulous of the tech-bro hype. The administration at my university is so collectively horny for...

I love the natural binding @Pauleo1214. The flame looks great but the really distinct vertical growth lines give the top so much more depth. Have to imagine you're pretty happy with how this turned out?

The top came from Oregon wild wood. They consistently have some of the most beautiful pieces of Claro walnut in stock. I'm not going to take a picture because it bums me out too much but the person who built this guitar left a piece of painters tape below the binding on the lower horn and...

Years ago my sister put a warmoth telecaster together. The neck had the perfect dimensions for my hands. So naturally, rather than order the same neck from warmoth, I found a Canadian luthier to build me the same thing. When I finally got the instrument I was blown away by how it looked but the...

I burned this album onto a CD when I was 19. I left it in my car stereo and ended up listening to it every time I got into my car for the next few years. I'd say by 2010 it was one of the staple influences for the majority of hardcore bands coming out of the Canadian prairies. Last but not least...

I'm still so salty that the 2010s screamo revival took their opportunity to rebrand and somehow picked "skramz" (I blame the"real screamo" Facebook group). I hate telling people I used to play in a screamo band but I can't say "skramz" without feeling deep(er) shame.

Fire is always an option with wasps. Sacrificing the air conditioner is the price necessary to render a service for the greater benefit of mankind.

This is a cool idea but I think the logistics here are a pretty big obstacle to overcome. Generally the more barriers you put up like shipping costs, nominal deposits, verification, etc. the less participation you get. It's not really a linear relationship either. Participation will drop off...

This conversation has me wondering how many hobbyist communities are propped up by neurodivergent people. It's funny how, on most pedal building forums, you can ask a question about a circuit and get an extremely detailed response. Like detailed to the point that it's basically indistinguishable...

I like to brute-force my way through the creative process. I think the results vary. I can usually do it to build a workable structure of riffs that I tune over a few months into something I'm happy with. Usually it involves writing something I can't play that I'm forced to practice until I can...

Thanks! It'll get finished! I'll share when it's done. My big stumbling block has been lyrics. I tried to sit down and write but it was not great. Almost all the writing I do is technical for my job or stupid for the d&d game I run. It's been extremely hard to get into the right headspace and...

Lies! I fell over at so many traffic lights - in front of people that respected me - before giving my clipless pedals away in frustration.

Is running with the devil the song where the chorus is "running with the devil"? I think I've heard that one. That era of rock is just a cultural blind spot for me. I got into playing guitar when I was deep into hardcore punk. I blew off the whole hard rock/heavy metal/hair metal thing because...
