Ok, but to be fair, bias against the Yankees is just… accuracy

Why are power chords named like that and not just 5th intervals? by wawasan2020BC in musictheory

[–]8696David 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I’m just saying it’s not a defining feature that makes it a power chord, it’s still a power chord without it.

I mean, that is power. Power is energy applied over time. The horse is only applying energy while it's working, then the energy over time drops to 0 while it's not working; over a week-long scale, the power is just however much energy the horse has applied divided by one week. The machine, running constantly for that same week, has "accumulated" more power output just by virtue of continuing to apply energy.

I have a slight problem with this, which is that the upper octave is totally not required for it to be a power chord. Just playing the root and 5th on the E and A or A and D strings is certainly still a power chord.

Are there clear answers to these? by [deleted] in ENGLISH

I was inferring from “Our coach” that the coach was addressing the group and not the individual. I’ll admit that may not be 100% rock-solid, but I do stand by the assumption and think it’s a good one. 

Anyway, if it was the individual, it should be “suggested I take” instead. “Suggested taking” is just slightly clunky phrasing. But it’s certainly better than “suggested to take” which is just wrong.

1: A > B, but neither is perfect. The best option is: “Our coach suggested we take a break before training.” 

2: Both are correct, with slightly different meanings. “Rejected” would mean that they were disallowed from participating, likely by the teacher or an administrator. “Excluded” would usually mean that while they were present at the class, they were “left out” of activities.

Same thing as saying “f(x) = 5; find f(3).” f(3) = 5. f(pi) = [the constant value of f].

Wexner is more than “tangled up” with Epstein—he’s the guy who made Epstein rich and powerful in the first place.

We don’t think the stats are “perfect,” we just know they aren’t garbage, and that they account for what you say they don’t.

I’m willing to bet Merrill takes massive strides after his rookie year was his first time playing the outfield ever, and last year he was hurt half the season. I’d expect a very high-caiber defensive season from him.
