Someone please tell me why someone is going through all my Akudama Drive, Hetalia, and Cells at Work stuff just to post meaningless links? I’ve had a bad day and I was so excited to open up my emails only to be bombarded by… this.

I don’t even have the energy to go through my stories individually just to delete them. It’s too many and I feel like that this person… bot? Thing? Is going through most of my archive.

Why is it that men a certain age tend to think it’s appropriate to let their dick guide their interactions with female colleagues? 😡

(For context, I organize a small but popular event twice a year and can’t have participants harass other participants, yet that seems to be what is happening.)

Went back to cooking up Bailey. They’re giving me the most trouble as of right now.

I have such a specific feel and vision in mind but I keep making them either too cool or too cold and sharp. I don’t want them too look quite that obvious

One of the older women I sometimes sit with at the synagogue this morning apparently has ten relatives who are apparently missing. The rabbi said she thinks they might be hostages. Her mother died a month ago. The other woman I sit with always stands for the mourners Kaddish, and when I saw them last they were holding hands

other people’s fantasy settings and maps being kind of nonsense and completely divorced from how things like climate, mineral deposits, and trade routes would work in a grounded, semi-realistic context doesn’t bother me all that much. not my own stuff though i need to build a world from plate tectonics up or it Will drive me absolutely bonkers

One day you think to yourself damn the guitar work on bigmouth strikes again is honestly mad, and the next

Foiled the bridge pegs - worked really great and just looks sharp even though you don’t…see the pegs, but i spun the peg screws out so the bridge sits rather high, got a proper ‘float’ over the body the way a thing called a floating bridge ought to. The treble side I put higher up to eliminate the superchoked treble strings (the issue was the very very low action, fretting any fret from around 10 and up rang out as like…22!)

With the raised bridge the rattle is worse! Because the jaguar/jazzmaster floating bridge sits in its sockets fixed in only by the tension of the strings. When you bring it up, there’s more room for it to rattle - so the foil wrapped pegs work to fill up the sockets, eliminating this rattle because it fits way more snugly

And anyway I finally found an explanation for the shim that I get that isn’t just a vague “oh it’s part of the offset equation” - hazeguitars explains it as a consequence of the raised bridge itself, cause the intention of raising the bridge for most is for the break angle, where the strings run from fretboard up to the bridge, then break downwards again towards the anchor point in the trem system. Which makes the tension/pressure on the bridge more effective, holds it better, and eliminates buzz (huge nightmare for jag/jm owners apparently but well, never really bothered me, what bothered me was the action so low that the guitar did not function as a guitar!!)

So the assumption is if you raise the bridge for the break angle you don’t want the high action that comes with it, so you put a shim in the neck pocket which will bump the fretboard up a little and keep your break angle without a high ass action.

Which is what I did blindly before I even brought the bridge up. My shim is flat and doesn’t angle up nearer to the body of the guitar because, repeating, this morning I was a sucker without a clue. Thing is because I fiddled with the bridge to fix my action, I believe my break angle isn’t extreme as the ideal is - my bridge still kind of buzzes (granted, not a problem that bothered me until today, I can’t really hear it!! Unless i actively listen out for it!)

Play wise it’s nice, fixed the choked frets and actually it’s better than before the problem even cropped up because it used to be a nightmare fretting high cause it wouldn’t ring as the correct note unless i pressed down really fierce. Now it works fine with normal fretting. I am no jimi hendrix but in this case i can actually say it wasnt all me it was squier by fender and their balls out shitty offset guitar stock set ups. From all the reading i did to understand this guitar I dont think you could play a jaguar nice off the shelf. But he’s never more trouble than he’s worth!!
