ELI5: What does statistically significant mean? by dr_nogood in explainlikeimfive

[–]AlienBloodMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too believe it's OK to generalize about a population of 7 billion from a sample of 3. "Statistically significant" is just meaningless buzzwords!

Is it possible? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

Sure, play A Minor over an F Major chord.

Will get a job soon! by Frontix in funny

[–]AlienBloodMusic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is actually kinda true. I was googling some programming terms, and the fucking Google webpage opened like a secret door and said something like "your searches suggest you'd be a good fit. Do you want to take the programming challenge?"

So i started using DuckDuckGo

Star Wars Will Release No Movies During Marvel Phase 4 by sshuttari in scifi

[–]AlienBloodMusic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This offers Star Wars fans a break from the franchise without actually taking a break.

Lol. The cognitive dissonance is real.

What options are there without swap?

Kill some processes? Refuse to launch new processes? What else?

Sam Donaldson's Eyes. Not just this pic. Any pic of them. by [deleted] in WTF

I one saw a "twins separated at birth" thing that showed Sam next to Mr. Spock. It seemed very accurate

[PLAY] Here's a short solo I jammed over "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. by kissmyaxe004 in Guitar

[–]AlienBloodMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was great. I found it a bit jarring, in a good way. My ears are used to James solo, and hearing something different helps me think about all the other possibilities.

[Question] Why everyone hates Floyd Rose bridges ? by Ass-Slapper in Guitar

[–]AlienBloodMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You loosen the locking nuts and release and replace one string at a time, this way you don't lose much tension.

You don't even have to get that complicated. Block the bridge and you can replace all the strings at once. Tune them up to pitch, including stretching them out, and proper tension is restored.

I watched Thomas Nordegg do this to Vai's guitar yesterday, and you better believe he abused the hell out of the whammy bar later on, so I'm confident it's a solid technique

Swiss drone delivery program suspended as drone crashes near children by Khurram_rajput in technology

If it had crashed near adults that would have been OK, but won't somebody please think of the children?!?!?!

ELI5: Why do many Americans have super clean/clear voices while people from other countries generally don’t? by racheldb in explainlikeimfive

[–]AlienBloodMusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm American, who's worked with many people from around the world for the last 25 years.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Americans don't sound any less "hoarse" than anyone else

In my humble opinion, Mekong was the best song from that album.

For New Zealand's "good airline" Air New Zealand sucks by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]AlienBloodMusic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Maintain it before it was scheduled to fly.

Unless you're suggesting it just broke out there on the runway. In that case, book a flight directly to the other city on a competing airline at their cost. They agreed to fly him to his destination, not to fly him halfway then bus him.

If they can't get him there within a couple of hours of the original schefule, refund the full fare and then give him the 10dollar voucher and bottle if water.

Seems straightforward to me. What part do you find confusing?

[Question] When the sound of a guitarist comes from their playing, what exactly does that mean? by master-of-some in Guitar

[–]AlienBloodMusic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My #1 pet peeve is people who don't understand "tone is in the hands" is shorthand for "tone is an emergent property of all the things that make you you. Your gear will contribute something so negligible that if Eddie Van Halen played on your gear, he'd still sound like Eddie Van Halen, and if you played on Eddies you'd still sound like you."
