The disappointment of experience winning lifetime supply of something but that would eventually turn into a lie
No it isn't a thing, I've seen a couple memes and a new community about how Linux sucks but I'm pretty sure it's either parody or trolling. Mine was an actual shower thought when I was thinking about that, rather than a complaint
Yeah, your's is more accurate XD I have to say that there are people that get annoying when they're drunk but thank god they're not the majority otherwhise going to the bar would be unbearable.
I used Bodhi Linux for a long time and I still remember how cool was the Enlightment fork they used: Moksha
So just my normal day?
As other people said, Boss Katanas are the benchmark product of this cathegory, it's hard to do better.
The Roland Cube is an old but gold that can be found for dirt cheap on the second hand market, there are both a 20 and a 40 watt version.
A friend of mine found herself to be very happy with the Blackstar ID Core, which also has a 20 and a 40 watt version
Well let me pull out of the drawer my really dusty degree in Biology and let's see.
First of all, do I still have to follow the principles of Embriology or do I get to make it from scratch? Because that's where I reckon most of the problems that came up come from
That's dinner time for me and tomorrowI'll be having a first date dinner: we both hope there are going to be good news after those two hours.
Good luck to the both of us!

Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode.
Wish me luck.
Last month a friend of mine gifted me his 1997 Epiphone Les Paul 100. He bought it at a pawn shop 15 years ago, played twice and left it at his parents' house since.
It was all beat up and dusty, the wood was so dry and brittle that when I poured olive oil in the truss rod shaft, it made the sound of someone taking the last sip of soda with a straw.
The stock electronics were really cheap to begin with and all this time made them disgustingly crunchy.
And one of the previous owners swapped the stock knobs with four Strat style tone knobs, which should be enough to be condemned for war crimes and be waterboarded for years.
So I spent the last month rummaging second hand websites and shops for spare parts. The best deal I got was finding these wonderful Tesla Opus-2, humbucker sized P90 pickups that sound wonderful. Even at full price they are crazy value for the money, and I paid a little more than half of it.
I also gave it a new guts transplant with full sized potentiometers, shielding with copper tape and alluminum foil and a different knobs configuration: both volume knobs on top, both tone knobs on bottom. Gibson purists are gonna hate me, but I feel it more natural for me this way.
Unfortunately I got ripped off by the guy who sold me the tuning machine heads, as one was broken (I should have checked better). So for now I kept one of the old ones for the low E string. I wasn't really happy at first but it's slowly growing on me. I might end up keeping it this way.
As for now I'm really pleased with the result: this is the first Les Paul I ever owned and also the first guitar I fully renovated from the ground up.
Giving a second life to this beautiful instrument has been super fun and taught me a lot, so if you have any questions feel free to ask
Something different for a change: my homemade Big Muff Pi - "Green Russian" clone.
Sounds like the original but has the best Big Green Boi on it, so it's a huge improvement.
If you're into rap hybridizations, Rage Against the Machine's self titled album is one of my favourite's
