All our 4 cats always sleep on our bed. When I wake up, the oldest one always comes to my head and starts rubbing her head against my head/beard. Our youngest boy just purs like a freighter and walks from nightstand to nightstand, youngest girl almost always climbs under the covers to snuggle. Last lady just keeps sleeping and snores.

All makes me pretty happy.

Can someone explain with only basic algebra? I tried reading the wiki but was a bit much.

Damn that's pretty cool. Wonder how their ethical committee responded. Does it affect the drunkenness?

I feel like a common trend is that if people generally showed more compassion for others, quite a bit would much better already. I mean for instance with vaccines, , not immediately vilifying people for not wanting the bacon, but trying to understand why. Also on the other side, antivaxxers trying to not just get pissed but trying to understand the other side. Not sure if I'm now thinking "understanding" or "compassion", but i guess the later would be a first step to not just giving up on people, instead of getting pissed or writing them off like stupid.

But lol not gonna lie that's hard.

To be fair, the neuroscience terminology used is pretty surface level, one wikipedia stroll would have done it.

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.
