It must be super cool to be an animator or writer for Family Guy [3>]

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.

Anyone happen to fit Axis longboard pedals in a Hardcase HNDBP double pedal case?

As the title says, looking for a case for my Axis Pedals. Hardcase hasn't dissapointed me on other cases, and I figures this one might be usefull for potential other future pedals. Anyone ever fit this pedal in this case?

Guitar strings suddenyl start touching fretboard?

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?

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.

Just tried out those pedal-triggers (On Triggers), anyone experience in cable routing?

(Damn wasn't easy to find this community, still have to get the hang of lemmy. Great to have found you guys) Hey guys, just bought a couple of On Triggers for the kick, those things you paste under your footboards of your pedals and align with the position when the beater hits the head. Pretty interesting concept, seems to work nicely on my e-kit with just using a Y- cable to put both triggers in one trigger input. Moving to my acoustic kit, however, I use an Alesis Samplepad for samples and kick triggers. The same configuration, both triggers via a Y-splitter in the kick input makes one sound much softer. Sensitivity settings don't help much. Interstingly, when using a very small mixer with just both triggers in a line-in and the main out towards the trigger input on the Samplepad seems to work perfectly. But damn, lot of messy cable nonsense and it doesn't feel like the best solution. Anyone know a good way to work on this? Preferably without buying a new Samplepad/Module with more inputs, that's my plan B :')
