There's a pink Squier with only a humbucker in the bridge for only 150€. Now I've learnt how to level frets and I can easily change the nut, I also really like doing this stuff. And I have a bunch of spare pickups I can use on it.

It's calling to me 😩 Heeeeelp

It looks so basic, no bullshit finish that will peel off in 10 years. I....love it? 😨 Just a fret level and a EMG 85 in place of the stock pickup. File the nut a bit..
Is this a bad idea?

What vpn do you guys use?
I was using privateinternetaccess for a little bit during the NFL season.
Tried NordVPN just now to try and watch the Euro final on one of the "free" British broadcasting thingies, but the streaming speed was ass. Not really sure if it was an issue with the vpn or what. Cancelling the service was a hassle, though.

I've used Nord for a year. No problems personally. If I ever have a speed issue which I think has only happened a couple times, I just server-hop once or twice and it evens out.

I use vpnunlimited since it was a one and done purchase. I hate the subscription based model.

I used Nord for a few years but let my subscription lapse since I just didn't have much use for it. I feel like your situation is a bigger issue with trying to stream a big event instead of just the VPN. I tried using Nord to do that before for the last Euro cup and Wimbledon a few years back when Serena was playing, but had no luck.
Android box/IPTV were the best solutions, though the current guy I get my service through for a Buzz Box is kinda a hassle, so I'm waiting to hear how my brother's experience is with a reprogrammed Fire Stick.

Me, too, friend. I'll check out vpnunlimited.

Every day I'm increasingly impatient and annoyed, so this is probably all I needed to do instead of going nuclear lmao.

You know, that may be the case. My smooth brain didn't even consider that England being in the final would be one of the largest sporting events for the English 😅

I think I need some of those clip-together restraint mittens that rehab hospitals have for stroke/brain injury patients because I keep waking up with my hands completely numb from being in stupid positions (under pillow stack, under my side, etc) and then I can't make a tight fist for a couple hrs after waking. I get the feeling I'm gonna Dave-Mustaine myself one of these nights with some nerve damage.

^I try to fall asleep while lightly holding the corner of a pillow case or blanket and that usually helps my hands to stay in a comfortable position while sleeping. After a couple sleep paralysis episodes exacerbated by pins & needles in my hands, I had to try something.

Lots of pillows up in this bitch for me. I've transitioned to being a side sleeper and rarely have issues waking up to pins and needles in my extremities. I use a wedge pillow/cushion thing and have a couple regular pillows on that. And also a pillow between the knees due to a recent bursitis issue that has finally gone away.
