    What's the worst thing you've ever done?

    The worst thing I've ever done, or rather happened to me, was an unfortunate reaction to prescription antidepressants called antidepressant induced mania (which happens to me if I take any SSRIs by themselves(they get me high)), the most severe of which occurred in 2011. The damn pills made me...

    +1 This is the kind of explanatory answer I was looking for. Thanks.

    Preventing rust on guitar. Also, Floyd Rose tremolo questions.

    Do you manage to do very different tunings (like going from standard E to drop C and then back again) without messing with the springs in the back? Does that work without any problems?

    Preventing rust on guitar. Also, Floyd Rose tremolo questions.

    Yes, but some people also remove the back cover and adjust the springs. If there was no removing the back cover, then it'd be okay. But the spring tensions is also something one is supposed to look out for.

    Preventing rust on guitar. Also, Floyd Rose tremolo questions.

    That depends on where you live. The last place I was living in had high levels of humidity owing to a sea nearby. Metallic objects rust quite quickly.

    Preventing rust on guitar. Also, Floyd Rose tremolo questions.

    Same here. I got it from someone, and though I could choose which guitar to get, I had no idea about the complexities of the Floyd Rose trem. Anyway, it's not like I want to change the tuning every few hours or days. I just want to be able to change it. That's all.

    Sewing machine oil for pegs. Got it. They can be applied on the strings as well? Again, any differences between acoustic vs electric? The next thing is, I have a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo, but I have absolutely no idea how you tune it. Damn thing is a real pain. I've seen several...

    Preventing rust on guitar. Also, Floyd Rose tremolo questions.

    Hi, I just wanted to know if there are certain oils that can be used on the strings and tuning pegs to prevent rusting? What kind of oils are safe to use on strings and tuning pegs? Coconut oil, machine oil etc. (?) Are there any negative effects of using them? Also, any differences...

    I never learnt much from lessons either. All my gurus are on YouTube. They're more than enough if you want to learn guitar. Hell, Justin Sandercoe's YouTube tutorials can teach you all you need to know. There are others for other things, of course. A user named m169marroquin (on YouTube) is good...

    Nephew is delusional about talent

    Well, there are a couple factors at play here. The problems in living that a person faces, i.e. social issues, domestic problems, traumatic life experiences etc. A certain amount of biology at play in terms of a person's predisposition to anxiety, depression etc. Problems in living are not...

    Nephew is delusional about talent

    Good god, I didn't notice this was from 2013. I grew up in a very dysfunctional family as well (lots of conflict between parents; angry, loud, abusive father etc.). So, I kind of know what that feels like, but everyone's situation is a bit different. Some years ago, I was prescribed an SSRI...

    Knockouts in movies. Knocking someone unconscious with no lasting damage.

    Yes, I've seen movies with dragons, and spells, and aliens, and demons. I wasn't insinuating that what they show in movies are necessarily real. I was just inquiring if you can and how you can knock someone out without causing lasting damage, if this period of unconsciousness would last for a...

    Knockouts in movies. Knocking someone unconscious with no lasting damage.

    In movies, people sometimes knock their opponents out in such a manner that their opponents don't die and have no lasting damage. They just become unconscious (and wake up later). Is this something that can be done in practice? What kind of blows render a person unconscious without lasting damage?

    Some questions regarding the languages of China.

    Okay, I might be completely wrong about this (because my knowledge regarding this is next to zilch), but some people have told me that every symbol in Chinese languages like Mandarin and Cantonese represents an idea, like an object or a verb or things of that nature. For instance, in English...

    Marker pens used on the TV show Numb3rs to write on glass.

    Hey, thanks. I had no idea what they were called. I did a google search and seemed to get many opinions (some conflicting). Some people say they use dry-erase markers to write on glass. And they also mention that China markers are hard to wipe off. Some people say wet erase markers are the...

    Marker pens used on the TV show Numb3rs to write on glass.

    The protagonist in Numb3rs (Charlie Epps played by David Krumholtz) uses certain pens (or markers) with which he writes on glass. These types of markers are also used in the movie "A Beautiful Mind" (John Nash uses them to write on glass). 1.) What kind of markers are these? What are they...

    At OP: I see that two of the threads you've quoted were started by me. Being Indian, I have a very blurred idea of what the terms "liberal" and "conservative" mean in the American political context. To me, they're just words. That being said, I think you'd do better and more people would take...

    Do you think that in general, once you're successful, you can get away with a lot?

    But when people need you (or like you or respect you), they might not want you arrested. They might hush it up or rationalise it away or find fault with the victim. Especially in the kind of scenario I wrote about in post #18.

    Do you think that in general, once you're successful, you can get away with a lot?

    Haha. So if this guy also happened to be a wife beater for instance, that would just go unnoticed I guess. Perhaps not unnoticed but no one would care much about it because he's useful to them. For the woman in question it would in some sense be like society versus her.

    Do you think that in general, once you're successful, you can get away with a lot?

    Successful and especially useful to a bunch of people. Let's say there's a scientist who creates a vaccine that ends up saving millions of lives all over the world. If this guy behaves like a prick, he'd usually get away with it because he's successful and his work is useful to other people...

    Evolution does not favor selfishness

    Didn't read the article in a peruse manner, but I think the notion that altruism can arise out of selfishness is widely accepted. (?) The "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" principle.

    Why isn't a suicide machine offered as a public service?

    What would happen if you gave a person general anesthesia and then cut off life support? A painless death. You might also want to look into the kind of drugs the organisation "Dignitas" uses.

    Okay, no one's ever given me a satisfactory answer to this question ever. Listen to this guy singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d92HGpfjBJA How do you get that sort of a hoarse quality to your voice? What sort of training does it take? Has anyone taken this form of training here? Is it...

    Why isn't a suicide machine offered as a public service?

    I don't think that the OP is claiming that there should be no programs to help those in distress and that society should have only one solution for them, i.e. death. Far from it. It is about when an individual has used all forms of help available and still has a life that he/she does not deem...

    Individuals and groups.

    In India, there have been instances of extremist cultural groups going to pubs and beating up people, all in the name of the usurpation of "Indian culture" by "western culture". Many times, I've seen people claim for instance, that the consumption of alcohol among many of the youth is due to...

    Why not? You can't focus on a religion in particular which has facets associated with it that are unique in some sense in their own way?

    Will/Can there ever be a backlash against technology?

    Deep down, I have never liked the notion of being defined by the country I was born into, the colour of my skin, the ethnic group I belong to etc. All these things are (or at least seem to be) an accident of chance and an accident of birth. I had no role in choosing them. I had no role in...
