• warm water bidets exist, but cold water isnt as bad as you think
• no, thats a common misconception
• you can pat dry with a couple squares of TP, or keep a towel handy since you're clean now
• you ever see all the nooks and crannies of a butthole? You're going to hurt yourself before you're actually clean if you're just wiping with dry paper. You're smearing shit around your asshole and then going about your day with a shitty asshole acting like that's not a problem that needs solving

I always heard about it and thought there was no way that would work bc I didn't realize you were supposed to cut both ends

Bc every other smartwatch is miles behind apple tbh

Can’t on iOS though 😓

This is sort of old but I always make a point to recommend DiMarzio because nobody else seems to. I’ve seen all of the typical straplock designs fail, but I’ve never seen a DiMarzio strap fail. I straight up don’t trust anything else anymore

The first two things I noticed were that the quality of content tanked (which was already the lowest I’d ever seen before that), and unvetted racism shot up. I still access Reddit on occasion for some small communities, but I use Dystopia so I don’t provide ad revenue and I just don’t interact anymore. It’s like the active/reasonable adults left and it’s mostly kids and bots left posting and commenting.

That sounds like a lot of American hospitals tbh. Also like practically every nursing home over here.

It's insane that this is a 'proposed new law' in 2023. That shit should have been illegal the moment it was possible.

How about just getting rid of mandatory HOAs

The bridge is intonatable within a general ballpark, but you're never going to get each string dialed precisely without individual saddles. If you aren't playing anything that requires great intonation, that's cool, but better intonation is never not better.

Guitarfetish parts are perfect for a project like this. They are cheap enough that you aren't sinking a ton of money into an already cheap guitar, and are nice enough (given you don't buy their cheapest stuff) that you feel like you've made worthwhile improvements to that cheap guitar.

The biggest thing I'd say is to replace that wraparound bridge with one that has individual adjustable saddles. The way it sits now, intonation is always a compromise, and that's just not a good design from a performance perspective.

After that, the best upgrades you can make to a guitar like this are fretwork and a better nut. Assuming it still has the factory nut and fretwork, it's virtually a guarantee that they are shoddy, and you just won't be able to get it playing as well as it can without addressing those first. That's the big thing people tend to miss while upgrading cheap guitars and why they often end up unsatisfied with the results.

And finally after tackling those issues, then I would start looking into other parts like pickups and tuning machines. There are lots of options on GFS that are both cheap and decent, it's up to you to choose what you like. Check out some sound samples and the like. If you're trying to add a coil split, just make sure whatever pickup you get has four conductor wiring and get a push-pull pot if you don't want to drill any holes, though I much prefer mini toggle switches. If you're trying to add a second pickup, well that is very in-depth for a guitar like this. Doing it yourself will be a nightmare if you don't have experience, and paying someone to do it will cost more than the guitar is worth.
