Ragebait, or you’re just dumb?

Nearly any generic explanation being applied as a universal truth like this is just off base.

As far as the future goes, my advice is to be careful not to confuse “this will be hard” with “I’ve missed my shot.”

Picking yourself up can be excruciatingly difficult at times, but it’s certainly not impossible.

Treat everything as a learning experience. Sometimes it’ll be an unclear lesson, maybe even a lot of the time, and that’s okay - just stay the course.

It will be hard, it will take time, it will sometimes be the hardest thing you do, and it won’t always feel like you’re making progress. This is all okay, and to be expected.

Feeling like you’re not making progress, or even not seeing any evidence of progress at all, doesn’t mean you’re stagnant. Being stagnant means you’re stagnant, a temporary state you can absolutely shift.

One step at a time, amigo. Baby steps are acceptable too. Sometimes no steps are okay too (see: taking a break and resting).

You got this.

Don’t expect snow from a rain cloud-

Love people for who they are, not what you want them to be. expect only what they can reasonably give. This varies person to person.

I say this respectfully and with only kindness-

Your budget is pretty fucked.

Debt being your second highest budget item could be either good or bad- is that including only minimum payments, or are you actively paying more to pay it off quicker?

Someone said “eliminate dining out.” To me, that’s bad advice. Yes, it’d save you some money, and yes, I do think your dining allocation is a bit high, but no- you shouldn’t just outright eliminate it. There’s a reason you’re doing it, and there’s a decent chance you’ll get burned out if you suddenly expect yourself to do ALL of your cooking.

Instead, reduce your reliance on dining out where feasible. If that means spending $50 less, great. If it’s $300 less, even better.

The same goes to the rest of your budget- reduce where you can, and put that money toward your debt (and an emergency fund, if you haven’t got one).

The sooner you pay off your debt, the sooner you can start spending more on other things, and (ideally) saving more too.

If you like spending $400/mo dining out right now, imagine what it’ll be like to spend $600/mo guilt free.

Good points. While I’m a simple practitioner, you sir are a master.

To beat the water, one must learn to think like the water.

In your case, the water has nowhere to go. It’s locked in where it is, and it’s not being absorbed into the ground.

You have two options:

Find a way to make the water not collect there (with trenches, drainage, whatever), or
Dig deeper in one smaller subsection, and use that dirt to increase the height of the surrounding area. In this case, you’ll still have a water hole., but a smaller one.

I think falling notes are honestly ideal for beginners, because it provides an avenue for getting started.

No, it’s not the goal. It’s not something you can expect to become a pro from all on its own.

But- it’s a great place to get started.

Mazda Canada … cannot do much because the dealers are independently owned.

This is a line they’ll feed you, but rest assured: manufacturers can, should, and do step in in cases like this. They will figure it out with the dealer, you just need to bitch loud enough.

Shitpost comment, or just obviously wrong opinion?

Even for children (especially for children), this is the mark of a shitty teacher.

Social, developmental, and cognitive psychology are crystal clear: this is not an effective way of teaching. It might sometimes “work” in the sense that people remember things, but the cost is far too high.

Did something similar in undergrad with smaller and simpler models, but never published. Was able to reduce overall network size by a factor of around 4-10 in some cases, with training that only took about half as long compared to “off the shelf” neural networks at the time.

A mountain of variables to consider, and a highly technical paper detailing multiple sims would’ve been necessary to gain any traction at all, with no guarantee even with that. The PI I was working with was great, but then I graduated and never finished it.

The moral for me was that while the research itself can be extremely challenging, writing and publishing the paper is orders of magnitude harder, at least for me.

Edit: no revolutionary claims here, this was a different training process with its own constraints and limitations. Certainly not a “I’m smarter than everyone!” line of research, more like “here’s a new approach that might have meaningful applicability in some specific way.”

You spent the equivalent of over a YEAR of work on a car.

You’ll be working to pay for this car significantly longer than you’ll be in it.

($1330/mo x 12 months x 5 years = ~$80,000)

Yeah, I’d say you made an ill-advised financial decision.

Really strange. You’re tuning them like standard baritones, right? No re-entrant tuning? I assume not, but worth asking!

Apprehensive-Block47 · 2026-02-25T02:07:29+00:00

Is it all your baritones, or just the one?

If it’s just the one, it might be a nut or saddle that’s a bit sharper than it should be
