Camper? Ice cream truck? Mobile dog wash mobile? Lots of things I can think of. I just wouldn’t want to deal with the maintenance lol.

Showhead drips with water off. Do I just buy a new one? in c/plumbing@lemmy.world

[–] itchick2014@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago

If it drips with the shower head off, the problem is the spigot or some part of the valve that controls water flow. The shower head doesn’t in most cases control water flow. This could be a simple fix or not, but depending on the build of your shower faucet and how readily accessible it is will highly affect this.

What distro do you use and why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] itchick2014@midwest.social 11 points 7 months ago

Arch. I had some tinkering with other distros in the past but wanted to configure pretty much everything. Running it with Cinnamon. I love pacman and AUR and have been able to not break it so far after a year of being installed which is a new record for me 😂

“Don’t put it down. Put it away.” I say this to myself all the time. I try to follow it and it has helped with the tornado of “lost” items that clutter the house.

Honestly I don’t know much about these things but have been around electrical engineers! I looked up a few things I will admit 🙂

Transformers don’t deal much with resistance though…reluctance I was referring to magnetic reluctance which is the magnetic analog…more applicable to the transformer in this case. Thanks for the interesting exchange 🙃

My go-to is just absinthe with a sugar cube. Looks cool and the ties to Dracula are good enough for me 🧛

It’s just a phase. They will get over their reluctance.

I love my Brother CP60X, but the thread does not play nice on the holder. It tends to get stuck in the plastic lip and then break. So I made a simple felt barrier like that many sewing machines come with. Works like a charm! Now the thread spool doesn’t spin erratically and instead has just enough friction to maintain tension…and not tangle on the plastic lip. 10/10 recommend.

1998 US with fender lace golds in neck and middle…Seymour Duncan of some sort in the bridge. Plays and sounds a dream! Color is Plum Purple Metallic. Here it is next to my Jazzmaster.

Found a great deal at a used gear shop…actually a new unit open box. Digging the workflow and vibe. Already recorded a few tracks with it!

I haven’t touched my Tele or Les Paul since I got this. So versatile and sexy to boot!

Upgraded from a Squier. Lucked out with a used AC4 combo too. It is just a MIM but perfect for me. Plays well, very sweet Tele tone, and hopefully inspires me to get past the basic skills I have at the moment on guitar.
