"uu" ends on a down stroke. W ends on an upstroke, just like the difference between u and v.

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.

Well, I'd rather have free ice cream.

WTF is this tactic? Throwing pearls at the swine?

All threads starting with "Why" and ending in a question mark, can be answered: "Money corrupts people"

There are wild horses on the Mongolian steppes.

All other horses are domesticated. Even the free horses in USA and Australia are descendants of domesticated horses.

Human. Not for food, but because they always choose to breed on the Porcshe over the Toyota Hilux for racing.

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.

It would be nice if they would stop pushing the update on computers that can't run the update anyway.

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.

Tbh the whole Darling family seemed a bit weird even back when they made those budget games.

Because it shows power to those that need to know.

As the top post says: Republicans denied it happening. They might as well have played a soccer ball to Putins feet even though they're supposed to play on opposite sides, and then wondering why he kicked it back in their face.

They did that to show that they are in control. They can get whatever they want from a republican and spit in their face afterwards, because some idiots in the GOP are under their control.

The Russian mobsters like to remind people of their reach like that.

Its the same reason why they keep confirming people falling out of windows with two suicidal bullets to the head and such. It's mobster whistles.

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.

I'd argue that the bottom line is indeed one continuous line regardless of how many other lines intersect on it, because there's nothing indicating that the line is broken at the intersection.

Now the only reason I think the lines are straight at all is use of the angular notations at the ends, which would be horribly misleading to put at the end of curves or broken lines.

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.

It isn't an energy drink, because it doesn't have caffeineor sugar. The producer calls it a "hydration drink" which I suppose is somehow different from a "drink".

If they figure out if it's the white stripes or black stripes that do the trick they could reach 100%.

Knock knock. Do you have a moment to discuss non-euclidean geometry?
