I think a Jazz bass will typically have 20/21 frets, but otherwise really good. Even most of the screws are in the right spots.

Interfering with the Russian good actors trying to do their job.

Scraper bots don’t read instructions, they just follow links
- Comment on I still use a Palm Pilot in 2025, and you should, too 3 weeks ago:
I was just thinking the other day that I really wish I still had a Psion. Tolerable screen and keyboard. Slim and funny form factor. Runs for days on a few AAA, and rechargeable AAA at that. I used to play chess and read ebooks on one. Never liked EPOC(?), but it was really efficient.

There’s an old saying about digging if you find yourself in a hole.
- Comment on The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not. It’s the “premium” products that have this proprietary bs and branded parts trying to justify the inflated prices. The cheapest printers are all just generic clones with no lock in and mostly generic parts. Practically DIY kits only without the DIY unless something fails.
- Comment on Is there anything the internet can't do? 1 month ago:
Maybe it didn’t start with internet, but internet has done more for spreading it than anything seen before.
- Comment on If society goes completely cashless, bank robberies would no longer be a thing, which means there would no longer be "bank robbery" plots in future Movies/TV shows. 1 month ago:
For an older, milder version, I recommend Jennifer Government by Max Barry. Company was fun as well.
- Comment on When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well? 1 month ago:
Not making multispam globally against the rules is one of the biggest mistakes in Lemmy and is close to making it unusable.
- Comment on Why build for tomorrow when it's someone else's tomorrow? 1 month ago:
Not sure why this is so downvoted
My guess is because it’s kind of an asshole sentiment and not a useful post on any way.
Until you notice that it’s posted in nostupidquestions and actually is on topic.
- Comment on PowerPC Windows NT ported to Nintendo GameCube/Wii/Wii U 1 month ago:
That is vile. But also kind of interesting.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code. 2 months ago:
It generally is a length of time. Your title depends on the years on the job.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 2 months ago:
You could run a Java program, but you’d quickly run out of ram.

That might get you to cut down on dining coffee.
- Comment on Can you eat soap for acid reflux? 2 months ago:
Both are a kind of chest pain. It doesn’t really get felt in a single spot.
- Comment on Anyone knows what's this on the 5.25" bay? 2 months ago:
It’s a 5.25" HDD. That’s what they looked like.

Tesla, funnily enough, is also quite subtle. As is Alfa Romeo unless you count the entire scudetto as a logo. Ferrari. McLaren. Lamborghini. There might be a pattern there.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 5 months ago:
same watts and volts but more amps
Laws of physics: defeated.
- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 5 months ago:
You won’t have any of the electrical or software info for any of the components unless you’re a manufacturer and most parts aren’t really salvageable separately but are essentially one big glob on the board. Even with the skills, you’d need to reverse engineer some of the most complex and hard to use components ever manufactured for consumer use and somehow fit them in places they were never meant to fit.
And yes, software. The board support for the SOC, mostly. Maybe starting off with a pinephone or something might help, but I doubt even that is open and usable enough.
- Comment on if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? 5 months ago:
Do the math. See how rational the fear is. Whatever the result, admit you’re afraid and decide if you also want to be brave and act despite the fear. Make a plan. Start working on it. Hopefully things are better on the other side, but either way that fear will pass.
Fear is a natural part of human life. Often useful, but also often not. But as long as you can manage to act despite your fear, it won’t harm you.
Ok, cortisol and stress exist, but you have bigger things to worry about.

I apparently also need the most comfortable chair ever. Which just makes me think of this C&H www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHKiGl02NmU
- Comment on Honey 5 months ago:
That rule might not come from English language and what was translated to “meat” doesn’t necessarily mean all animal flesh. Even English had words like “beef” and “pork” and “poultry”.
If you want to gotcha lawyer culture or religion, you’ll need the actual sources. I’d suggest avoiding that, since it will just make you behave like an asshole.
- Comment on Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty? 5 months ago:
And how many of those houses are mouldy, rotten, or otherwise non habitable?
