Need help? Make a little effort

I agree, but the effort they made was to ask here on AK..
The damage to my jeeps hardtop(fiberglass) wasn't anything I knew how to do (still don't, it's not what I do), but you suggested the
proper way to repair it.. when I chose the body shop for the repair, I made sure they knew the procedure you recommended and that's
how it was done.. I appreciate your knowledge and experience btw, if I failed to acknowledge that at the time..
Thanks @painttoad
and they could be told that in a helpful way..
If people knew everything, they wouldn't ask questions..
you're welcome.
i'm going to avoid commenting on the other part because i am going to come across as an asshole and i am not trying to do that here.

When you're learning you may not know the terms for things, but hopefully it improves with time. The above post on hum is close to my heart. Hum and noise have fairly specific meanings. Technically, hum is a noise, but I want to know if you have 50/60 Hz hum (uncommon except in preamps with magnetic transformer pickup) or 100/120 Hz hum, usually due to some filtering or grounding issue. Is it sort of pure or does it have a strong higher frequency buzz to it? Does the noise sound like a hiss, like the sound in between radio stations? Or, is there some tone or unevenness in there? And for goodness sakes, tell me what you're working on. Not everybody knows exactly what a B-478 is. Was it made by Earbleeder Inc., or Gutthumper Ltd.?
I 'attend' youtube university often, lot's of good people offering valuable information.. kinda like AK in video format..
Hopefully, the info shared will be archived because my braincells are overwhelmed at times, and I have to look back at things I've read or watched..
Difference between 60 and 120Hz. It's pretty noticeable.

you should show 50/100 too.
Here you go!you should show 50/100 too.
As a tech, you should have links to these YouTube videos. It will speed up your diagnosis of the hum's origin in the circuit.
Of course that can happen, but in that case I would expect at least, "oh, I see. That's too much for me, sadly. But thank you for your reply. I appreciate it". Costs nothing and doesn't take more than fifteen seconds.
But that's a matter of courtesy, and there's a certain age until which courtesy has to be learned, otherwise one will never get it. No amount of explanatory threads can fix that, unfortunately.
Yes, that too.
Reactions also come it handy when I don't have the time to respond properly, though I intend to do it eventually. But I need time to put my thoughts and words in order, and depending on my other activities at the time it may be a couple of days or even more until I finally get around to doing it. So until then, I give a like, to indicate at least that I've seen the message and I appreciate it.
This happens not so much in instances when I need help with something (in which case writing a quick "thanks, I'll try that" wouldn't be a problem), but rather in more elaborate discussions, where a longer and more carefully crafted answer would be needed.

Do not worry! AI Soldering Sally is being developed now for the DIYer!Damn next you will want me to do my own soldering.
sally is such a badass, she holds her iron like this:Do not worry! AI Soldering Sally is being developed now for the DIYer!
She developed asbestos fingers after years of soldering. You should see what inhaling many liters of lead smoke has done to her brain!

Japan is a hot mess. 50 and 60hz depending on which side of the country you're on. I've always read that motors seem to last longer with 50hz, but Westinghouse/Tesla chose 60hz because it was a happy medium for motors and lighting.
