If you have small cards or "tickets" with people's mother/native languages on it, the real racist POS people will probably not understand that?

Or they will freak out at the sight of anything not American...

As far as AI goes not bad of an application I guess? But I did always learn "crap in, crap out".

Oh I meant, that specifically wine touring alone feels weird for that type of cash, imo. A decently-thought out trip to the Balkans for a week costs a couple hundred as well (given that was with friends to split costs etc, and flying in from Germany), so maybe I'm underestimating how my much you get for such a tour, but to me it feels really odd.

Not that I hate wine btw, like it better than beer.

A couple hundred feels like out-of-touch money to me.

Not sure about his qualifications, but Talon Fitness has amazing videos about nutrition, certain foods, specific macro/micronutrients, that I believe are fairly empirically backed.

It must be super cool to be an animator or writer for Family Guy [3>] (mander.xyz)
 

I have been watching some old Family Guys and yeah the randomness gets a bit tiring after idk hoe many seasons, but i kept thinking it must be fucking awesome to write or animate the dumb ideas and really see the most weird ideas come to fruition.

Guitar strings suddenyl start touching fretboard? (mander.xyz)
 

Hey guys, i've got a weird thing that I might have fucked up a bit, but any tips are welcome.

I've got an old cheap guitar which I though I'd improve a bit with some other pickups I had. Installed the pickups, also got some new strings. So weirdly enough, for some reason the new strings touched the first few frets. I could adjust this at the bridge but it really needed to be lifted a lot, which screws up the action in my opinion. Didn't screw with any other part of the guitar besides pickup, the only reason I could imagine was that the neck was warped from sitting around without strings for a bit (but it wasn't even that long I believe? But maybe cheap guitar = cheap materials?).

The neck doesn't seem warped to the eye, but have to admit that I'm starting to doubt the straightness of my references for straightness. It feels as if the neck is ever so slightly crooked on the body (like leaning forward a bit), but again I can't imagine this suddenly happening when changing the pickups?

I know some might say "just take it to the shop" but I like DIYing and I really want to learn more about this stuff, and especially what the hell is going on. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

(Could post some pictures but on pictures nothing really stands out).

Laptop randomly thinks it's sleep button is pressed/lid is closed? (mander.xyz)

Hey guys,

Google isn't much help, so let's see if it works over here!

My laptop is probably starting to become a bit old with almost 3 years now, so it's starting to show some weird things. I've had a few times now that it random goes to sleep, just in the middle of doing whatever. In the windows Event Viewer I see that at the time, it registered that the sleep button was pressed / the laptop lid was closed (both of which didn't happen). A workaround at the moment is just selecting that the laptop doesn't go to sleep from the lid/button, but i'd like to find out if something can be done.

Anyone ever experience something like this, and have any tips on how to work on this? (Worst case the lid-detector is broken and sends out random TRUE values or something, which is probably not salvagable)

Machine is an ACER nitro 5 running Windows 10, so far always plugged in, almost 3 years old.
