Anyone 35+ achieve good results?

The super gainers mostly seem to be on the young side. I feel that these are people that would have had a good beard at 30 either way, Minox just makes it come in faster.

I'm 40 myself, been using for a year. Definitely have results, but gains are much slower and I am not getting full coverage.

IT Sicherheit studieren oder alles in den Job stecken?

Hab nen Kumpel der ne Umschlung zu FIAE gemacht hat. Mit viel Glück hat danach eine feste Stelle in dem IT Sicherheitsunternehmen bekommen in dem er Praktikum gemacht hat. Er schlägt sich da nicht schlecht, hat allerdings nach fast 3 Jahren noch keines der Zertifikate abgelegt die er mit seinem Arbeitgeber vereinbart hat. Jetzt überlegt er seine Arbeitszeit zu verkürzen (80%) und IT Sicherheit im Fernstudium zu machen. 2 Module pro Semester, würde also auch ne weile dauern bis er Bachelor hat. Sein AG unterstützt ihn in dieser Entscheidung, aber er muss es selbst finanzieren.

Ich finde die Idee fragwürdig. Er hat den Fuss in der Tür und könnte jetzt auch alles in den Job investieren um sich wertvoll zu machen. Stattdessen müsste er den Spagat zwischen Studium und Arbeit hinbekommen. Und meiner Erfahrung nach ist es wertvoller Praxiserfahrung zu sammeln und sich Wissenslücken gezielt selbst anzueignen. Genügend Material gibt es ja. Allerdings weiss ich nicht wie wichtig ein Studium in diesem Bereich ist.

▲ 10 r/Guitar

I haven't played guitar for 20 years and recently got my old Ibanez RG1570 Prestige from the basement. It has been through several moves and has been stored in not-so-dry basements over the years. Oh and those chips are from a bike crash that happened literally in the same week I got the guitar, 20 years ago.

I started playing guitar again and did my best to set it up myself. It plays okay except for the frets feeling scratchy on bends and the action being a little high. Also I do not care for Floyd Rose anymore, I'd like to play drop tunings, but I know blocking the tremolo is an option here.

I'm thinking now whether I should take this guitar to the shop for a proper setup and clean or cut my losses and buy a new, modern guitar. Money isn't tight, I'd have about 2000 to spend on a new guitar.

What do you think?

What do you think?

UPDATE: Thanks everyone, I'll take it to a shop for a proper clean and setup.
