A little bit of luck is needed. I’ve upgraded the tuners for two of my guitars without problem. Then I wanted to upgrade the tuners on my Squier Telecaster: The small holes for the pins on the underside were in the wrong place. I thought, ok, let’s drill new holes. Unfortunately I needed to drill the new holes right beside the old holes; which meant that my drill kept slipping into the old hole and I don’t have the necessary equipment to fix everything, so those shiny expensive tuners are still waiting for their day.

PinkOwls@feddit.deto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•PC Engine (TG16) games are so colourful! I wish more modern games use bright colours like they used to do.English7·1 year agoNope, they weren’t. But there were definitely differences whether you played on a Sony Trinitron or a cheap TV. Hell, I even played some games on black-white-TV when the color TV wasn’t available.

PinkOwls@feddit.deto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•So... I'm being judge because the instance I choose?51·1 year agoWhen I joined Lemmy it felt so nice. It felt like the early Internet; all the bullshit I got used to on Reddit, it wasn’t here. It was like feeling at home.
Nowadays, whenever I see toxic bullshit and sedition disguised as leftism, it’s someone from lemmy.ml; my Lemmy-experience got a lot better after blocking the lemmy.ml-instance. But I will start blocking more aggressively and I hope things get better after the US-elections.

PinkOwls@feddit.deto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Questions in the event of Russian nuclear missile launch against the West.61·1 year agoHow deep underground is safe to protect against a modern nuclear blast?
It depends if you live in St. Petersburg or in some bunker in the Urals. If you’re in St. Petersburg, then it doesn’t matter; but you should be pretty safe in the Urals.
To add one more aspect: When someone writes a reply asking for a source, did they actually do a short Google-search related to the claim? It basically takes the same time to just look at the summary of the search results as asking for a source. So I assume if someone asks for verification for an easily searchable fact, then they are acting in bad faith.
Also one more thing: If you notice someone acting in bad faith, don’t engage with them. Downvote them, move on. This is especially true for the next few months until the US elections are over. You will notice it a day after the elections that the quality of discussions will increase because the bad faith actors will take a vacation. What happened on Reddit in 2016 is happening here right now.

PinkOwls@feddit.deto World News@lemmy.ml•Putin's suggestion of Ukraine ceasefire rejected by United States, sources say2813·1 year agoIt’s one of Putin’s strategies: To make it look like it is a conflict between the US/NATO and Russia, not between Ukraine and Russia. He also tries to diminish Ukrainian sovereignity by making it appear as if the US is the overlord, as if Ukraine is an American puppet. It’s all about making Ukraine look like it isn’t its own country. That’s why we get those bullshit historic lessons by that pathetic man-child.
PinkOwls@feddit.deto Formula 1@lemmy.world•Hamilton's Ferrari move 'was not his childhood dream 12 months ago' - Alonso92·1 year agoHamilton’s idol was Senna, who never drove for Ferrari. So I would assume that driving for Ferrari indeed wasn’t a childhood dream (it definitely was a dream for Vettel regarding that The Michael was his idol).
But Hamilton did regularly implicate wanting to drive for Ferrari since a few years, if not a decade.
As much as I love this song, but because of recent events, it would be better to sing “some Russians love their children too”.

PinkOwls@feddit.deto World News@lemmy.world•Military intelligence: Senior Russian officials were supposed to be on Il-76 flight but did not boardEnglish112·1 year agoCan someone explain to me why this shootdown is even news instead of a statistic?
It’s a military airplane shot down in a shooting war. Does Russia now call the UN security council when Ukraine destroys a transport truck? Why is the media constantly falling for Russia’s bullshit behaviour?
This reminds me of 2016 and the massive propaganda against Hillary Clinton. It’s clear that these are attempts at manipulating left-wing voters to abstain from voting for Biden.
Good luck and have some fun! I have to say that upgrading a guitar is somehow more rewarding than using it after the upgrade; though I have to admit that I’m using my upgraded Mex-Strat more often than my American Strat.
