So your rating?

Ted Cruz just sent me a text begging for money.

Why? How?

@CanisPundit

Yeah, coil-splitting on 4-wire pickups produces modest results, and if I remember correctly, PRS does coil-splitting with 3 wires which confused the hell out of me.

Trying to keep your shit together in a Presidential election year with one candidate being Donald Trump?

I totally get that. At the end of the day, all you can do is vote and encourage other sane people to vote. Also contribute what you can afford to your prefered candidate.

The rest is out of your hands unless you got an Elon-sized bag of money.

@dauphin87 why is it painful?

@dauphin87 You need to get up and move around every once in a while. lol

I don't know if this has already been posted, but South Korea is considering sending K2 Military Battle Tanks, the most advanced tanks on the planet to Ukraine in response to North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine.

rabbit hole was escaped when I realized I don't have enough time to do this on a regular basis unless I retire.

Rabbit Hole #2: Make my own pickups. About $500 for an automatic hand winding station.

Why?

One way to make single-coils hum cancelling is to wind one pickup clockwise with South Poles up,

Then another with North poles up counter-clockwide.

When they are combined, hum is cancelled. Stacked noiseless do this.

But what if you wound 1/2 of a pickup South poles up clockwise, and the other half North poles up counter-clockwise? Also hum-cancelling, but with a more purist tone.

Meanwhile in Ukraine, modified robots...

So what was my rabbit hole? I figured I could do this too, and for more models of guitars...

So after many, many hours it occured to me, that unless I bought the components and PCBs in bulk (after designing them), there was no way I could do it and be price competiitive.

No soldering. Reduces time for swapping out pickups!

I went down a rabbit hole when I discovered Obsidian Wire mods.

They involve all the normal parts: capacitors, resistors, push-pull pots, 5 way switches, capacitors, but...

the ingenious thing they have done is create a PCB to mount these things (via ribbon for the 5-way) and put these spring clamps--like you use when breadboarding circuits,--on the PCB, so all you need to do to install new pickups is insert the wires in the spring clamp.

Moldova has voted yes to joining the EU by a tiny margin

@TheLegend_AZ

Ginni Thomas has served on the advisory council of Turning Point USA

The body of Russian war criminal Dmytro Golenkov was found yesterday in the village of Suponevo near Bryansk.

His body was found with multiple head injuries, probably caused by a hammer.

@CanisPundit

I've read they're made in China and Indonesia and sold at a ridiculous markup.

Let me know what you think..

Russian oligarch Mikhail Rogachev, “mysteriously” died yesterday after developing a terminal velocity case of 11th-floor window cancer.
