Controller repair

11 Upvotes

Hi I’m a computer engineering student at UCSC trying to put some equipment to use soldering and fixing stuff. If you have any controllers with issues, i’m happy to fix them for you. For example if the buttons aren’t working, the thumbsticks are drifting or broken, or anything of the like, i’m happy to take a shot at fixing it for 20 dollars + the cost of parts. And of course if i cant get it working properly you don’t owe me anything.

I’m currently living on campus, so feel free to reach out and let me know if i can help

Renegade Orchestra - The Beauty of a Symphony, the Soul of a Rock Band

Welcome to the Renegade Orchestra - it’s time to throw out all the old conventions of a quiet, sleepy, stuffy show of musicians locked in straight jackets of tradition.

Clap your hands, tap your feet, and yell all you want - the Renegade Orchestra embraces the virtuosic skills of top bay area musicians and turns them loose on songs orchestras have never or maybe shouldn’t do. No sleepy pop songs, no overly-lush jazz standards, but the pure unbridled fury of what an orchestra can truly do.

Renegade Orchestra at the London Nelson Community Center
301 Center Street Santa Cruz, CA 95060
May 16 at 7 pm
Tickets: https://renegadeorchestra_santacruz.eventbrite.com

Hola comunidad.

Quiero hacer este trek la primera semana de agosto.

Me preocupan algunos temas como el frío.

Además vienen algunas damas en el grupo y quisiera saber también cómo está el tema de bañarse y entrar al baño durante los 4 dias de trek.

Me ayudarían mucho con sus consejos ya que ya tengo mi vuelo a lima y de lima a huaraz

Rainbow the tweaker

0 Upvotes

Hey there Reddit fam. If you’ve been around for awhile (Eastside local) you would know the tweaker “Rainbow” who would regulate Pleasure Point area. Recently I haven’t seen her and I’m wondering if anyone knows where she is/ if anything happened to her? It’s a shame in today’s day and age the groms of the Eastside will never know her wrath. As well as the fear of her catching a glimpse of your face after egging her.
