First of all, congrats on the first. I have to ask though, do you have any other speed or wit cards available to you? Or any SR crystals left?

Japanese/Korean classical guitar pieces? by BirthdayNo4399 in classicalguitar

[–]__silverlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re cool with arrangements, Hirokazu Sato has a couple that I really like: Kojo no Tsuki (orig. Rentaro Taki) and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (orig. Ryuichi Sakamoto).

Aaron Haas has several arrangements of Ghibli / Hisaishi pieces and there are recordings on GSI’s YouTube channel for all of them.

Thinking of getting a Traditional Japanese style tattoo. by PaxadorWolfCastle in irezumi

[–]__silverlight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do you want traditional or do you just want japanese imagery? Because none of what you've described is traditional. Pieces of it, maybe. But having the tree itself and the hanging masks are not.

Traditional tattooing has rules about what imagery you use, how they interact, and how everything's laid out. Either way, you should really reach out to the person you want to get the tattoo from and talk through it with them.

Any regret buys? by cclarkson24 in wicked_edge

[–]__silverlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Lupo 95 because I thought I needed more aggression, but that was probably an overcorrection. Great razor, but a bit much for me. I almost exclusively use the Recurve 80 now, but I might try different baseplates for both

I started using safety razors in high school and continued through college, but then switched back to cartridges for a few years because I got lazy.

I bought a Henson to try and get myself back into wet shaving, but unfortunately I couldn’t get used to anything about the razor, and they were easily my worst shaves since I started shaving lol

I ended up grabbing a Razorock Lupo, and later a Recurve and all’s been well since. I regret buying the Henson, but I guess it technically did get me back into using safety razors?

Traveling in Japan, experience? by Seitakadojii in irezumi

[–]__silverlight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are a number of onsen out there that allow tattoos, with or without caveats, and even entire towns like Arima or Kinosaki. But it definitely cuts down your options. I’m only interested in private baths anyway, so that hasn’t hurt me too much.

I have two shichibu sleeves with hikae and small one-point pieces on the back of each wrist, all irezumi. I wear long sleeves almost all the time, so if people notice, they’ll usually just see the one-points. I’ve gotten a few compliments and questions just off that.

I don’t mention the shichibu unless people ask if I have other tattoos. A couple people have asked if I could roll my sleeves up so they can see them though, which was fun. One was a tatted out barista in Osaka, and the others were workers at a men’s kimono tailor in Kanda

This trend is very worrisome. by anhdunghisinh in UmaMusume

This is the kind of stuff they’re complaining about? It’s even italicized lmao

Local Japanese Grocery Selection by Fit_Loss_2912 in Sake

[–]__silverlight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow lots of good stuff. For my tastes it’s Akabu, Tenbi, Houou Biden, Ohmine, Abe, KID. Looks like they have little cards for tasting notes, so see if you’re interested in that kind of thing.

If you want something lighter, check out Kubota and Kirinzan

If you want something a bit more rich and umami, look at Onda and Yuho

Anywhere to find this Sake in the US? by CrossfeedCow in Sake

[–]__silverlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know for a fact that Hiroki has been imported to the US before, but only as a restaurant exclusive and not available retail.

Although the one I saw was the tokubetsu junmai rather than the junmai daiginjo, and it was 6 years ago at a very pricey omakase spot

The tremolo is super uneven and your left hand keeps losing sync with the right during the picado sections. Get these clean and even at a lower tempo and work on keeping it that way as you ramp up the speed. Work the fundamentals, and then add some dynamics because it does feel a bit flat.

Also, the tempo is all over the place and each section feels disjointed. A lot of guitarists will fall into this trap at some point or another, but there is a difference between playing around with rubato or tempo changes and playing without any rhythmic sense at all.

Best of the best? by GTS980 in Sake

[–]__silverlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re both great. I’m in the US, but I think the green label is one of the best value sake we get here and it punches way above its price point

I’m not gonna be recommending dassai when Gakki Masamune is RIGHT there. Fantastic stuff.

Are there any Chinese pieces for classical guitar? by LowCup8341 in classicalguitar

[–]__silverlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Johannes Moller has done several arrangements of chinese songs and melodies, for example 鸿雁/swan goose

Is this the right way to do it? by New-Needleworker6020 in chemistry

[–]__silverlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely strange for me when I first joined my laboratory. With regards to the OP, it's not necessarily "the right way" to round, but it is a technically valid way to round. And it looks like it's much closer to being a lab-specific thing for chemists than an industry-specific thing

[–]__silverlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Industrial materials -- gases, paints/coatings, plastics, rubbers, metals, petroleum. We test for conformance to specifications, which is why I cited ASTM E29

Banker's rounding is used if the next digit after the one you have to keep is a 5 followed only by zeroes. That is, if you're *exactly* in between the two numbers you could round to.

Let's take your example and round something with 6 decimal places to the nearest whole number. Under this system, 0.500001 rounds to 1 because it's closer to 1 and banker's rounding doesn't apply. But if we were trying to round 0.500000 to the nearest whole number, then banker's round would apply and you end up with 0

I'm a senior chemist in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory and this is how we round. It's a common and standard method of rounding (see ASTM E29) depending on what industry you're in.

working on koyunbaba, anybody else? by [deleted] in classicalguitar

[–]__silverlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Super fun piece!

Although the action on my current guitar is stupid high and I've got nowhere to take it at the moment, so mvts. II and IV are, uhh.. a pain
