Fiber optics require a clean area for working on it.

As a fiber tech, I'm going to borrow this description when I get asked what my job is to my non-tech friends & acquaintances.

And if I get asked what that means, I'll simply wink and smile 😉

Oka , in Going to have to start cutting back on the avocado toast

This is 1 of like 12 fruit stands going North towards San Francisco. I forget the area name.

I don't think it'll be super expensive, just a new pulley I believe, but the crappy part is I just spent all of my free cash on guitar pedals, so now I'll have to borrow the money from my roommate.

AstralWeekends ,

But also, hopefully you have some sick new effects on hand. Pick up anything interesting?

The coolest one is a Nux Duotime delay, I feel like I could just float into space with that thing lol. Got it used for a good price too!

AstralWeekends ,

Nice! Hadn't heard that one before but the demos sound great.

@swab148@lemm.ee avatar

It's dope lol, but it's one of those things that you have to create a use-case for. Most of the music that anyone plays will not need or want this, but maybe it's just waiting for the right weirdo...

AstralWeekends ,

And that's exactly how I've found myself justifying having 3 different pedals that do delay/reverb in some way (I have 7 pedals on my board in total, lol). But I do find trying out new effects or instruments leads me to write something I wouldn't have otherwise written on an acoustic guitar. "More reverb!"

swab148 OP ,
@swab148@lemm.ee avatar

I just use the reverb on my Marshall, since I want it all the time anyways. But I do have that thing cranked to 11!

Wermhatswormhat , in Looks like someone got emotional

Maybe it was the 14th time he cheated.

Evil_Shrubbery , in That doesn't look like something that should be left behind

They probably had two & decided that's one too many.

BearOfaTime , in Sweet looking tacsew

Damn, I'd pick that up just for the electricals

geekworking , in That doesn't look like something that should be left behind

It was stuck and the tow truck driver ran out of fucks to give that day.

Tow truck drivers have an abnormally low number of fucks to give on a good day so this tracks.

ZC3rr0r ,

A tow truck driver once decided for me that a failed hood release latch on the side of the highway wasn't an issue that needed towing (he flat out refused to tow my car even though I specifically called them to tow my vehicle, and asked him to tow it to the nearest dealer).

He "fixed" it by cutting a bunch of holes into my bumper to attach zip ties through and then ducttaping the remaining gap closed. His genius solution made a 100 or so dollar repair (that would've been covered under warranty as I learned later) a several thousand dollar repair that required a new front bumper, new grille, and a bunch of paintwork. And a new hood latch of course.

Zero fucks to give seems generous in my experience.

Dudewitbow ,

hard to not understand given the highway is the most dangerous place for a tow truck to be at (youd be suprised how common it is for a negligent driver kills a tow truck driver numbers speaking on a highway). they want to get out of there ASAP

I assure you, most vehicles have 3 more just like it; built in redundancy. It'll be fine!
