If it's really good, and about cars, it can stay as a regular thread though! You should try that.

Also holy poo poo I just got this server from ebay and I've been trying to learn linux in a trial-by-fire type situation. I installed proxmox on it and then created an ubuntu container and an ubuntu vm with gnome on it and at some point will be dicking around with gns3. Any seasoned linux folk wanna give me some ideas on poo poo to do that will help me learn?

You will learn a lot from doing this, including what true pain is.

This looks awesome. Definitely a good project. Thanks!

Oh god my HOA is pissed enough that I had the audacity to park the Gorester on the street for a week while it was nearly 100F and I didn't feel like playing musical cars in my driveway. I don't think work would take too kindly to me storing a bus in the lot (although there is space.)

Glad the Gorester is making friends.

With the vitriol on both sides, I'm banning political chat in AI. This is an automotive subforum of a comedy forum. If you want to talk politics, go to D&D.

Yes, especially in the chat thread.

Anyone play guitar?

I've been using a Yamaha FG800 for the past few months to try and learn some Flamenco and other Spanish riffs. Also been working on Nancy Wilson's intro to Crazy On You. It's rough with the narrow neck of a steel-string acoustic, and the steel strings sure buzz a bunch it's actually because I'm really bad

Anywho, I've been hitting up guitar shops in the area trying out some legit classical guitars recently. This morning I bought me a used Cordoba C7-CE on eBay. I'm so loving stoked :coolfish:

if your strings are buzzing it may be your action is set too low

You know honestly it may be too high. I've never had it adjusted. I should do that.

This. Also the neck might not be 100% straight.

Learning on an electric guitar is also much, much easier because the strings have less tension.

poo poo, this too. Once I get back from the eclipse viewing I'm taking it in to some professional guitar dude.

I've got a really pretty blue electric Les Paul Epiphone that I never use because I just like the classical stuff way more for some reason Hopefully that changes. You can do some really cool stuff with an electric and you're right they're way easier on the hands.

Did you have a guitar related question or just want to chat?
The action on that Yamaha is terrible. Try getting something with a better action or you could try sanding down the bridge.
Also, get yourself some better strings. I'm a big fan of Martin 80/20 light strings but you could try something like their extra light which is a .010 core.

Mostly just chatting. This is the first time I've actually played enough to start thinking about better setups.

I've noticed the strings sit super high around the 12th fret. It makes it difficult to play anything with consistency between 11-15 without every other note buzzing, but I chalked that up to me being a new player.

I know absolutely zero about strings, so I'll certainly try those out. I've just been buying the $6 ones.

If you press down harder does it stop buzzing?

After getting home and playing it, I'm guessing user error. It's generally when I press down away from the fret accidentally.

Let me say that the difference between 99.9% and totality is night and day. I can see why primitive folk sacrificed virgins and thought their world was ending.

Maybe it's just trade schools being more conservative or a regional thing or whatever but i didn't notice this. Man buns, hitlerjugens and shovelhead 2.0 is about as weird as dudes got (all awful granted, but not that weird), and I hardly saw anything extraordinary on a woman's head other than a notable (and awesome) resurgence of the ladyfro.

Yeah this. I'm doing nerdy nerdy engineering but the university is like 80% artsy fartsy (VCU) and the engineering building is close to a bunch of residence halls.

Meh. I admit my opinions are different ("terrible") but Adiabatic gets pissed about the tone of the responses, as far as I can tell. I certainly enjoy the debates, most of the time.

Mostly this. It's very difficult to talk about anything politics without people giving drivebys of their opinions and others calling them names and the tone getting nasty real quick. Then I get a bunch of reports about the chat thread yet again devolving into a cesspit of yelling and namecalling.

D&D has a bunch of really good rules they have cultivated over years of trial and error to cut down significantly on this, and they're still the subforum with the most reports.
