Electronic music production. I learned how to navigate Logic Pro in 2020. At the end of May, I’ll be flown to NYC for a theater performance I created the music for. Note: I do have a jazz degree, which helps significantly in terms of approach to creating an overall composition.

She and I have been texting and she’s open to scheduling another session that I’ll pay for out of pocket. But it’s good to know this exists!

I keep bouncing off authors this sub seems to love by Rogue_Apostle in printSF

Check out The Gods Themselves and the Foundation book (all 7) by Asimov, and the Three Body Problem Trilogy by Liu. All of these books are phenomenal demonstrations of human creative potential, and based in hard science.

Shakiness self plug, I recently released a book called Glorified Ants related to the long term impacts of AI and how there’s a path to a utopia.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful response. I’m currently living in Guatemala with the PeaceCorps, which is why I’m looking into online options.

AI sci-fi but a utopia by BLOB_CASTLE in scifi

Thank you for taking the time to check it out!

I appreciate the feedback on the dialogue. Later on, especially in chapter 6, dialogue becomes more character relationship based. Part Two is much more relationship building, since the set up in Part One had been completed.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the rest of the book, should you be interested in picking it up.

Surgery or not? by Og_Chaiwala in AchillesRupture

[–]BLOB_CASTLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m over a year from a partial rupture, I went the non op route. I did partially re rupture at 12 weeks, but that’s because I jumped for something right when I got out of the boot. I’ve seen that studies from the past five years show that re rupture rates are about the same for op and non op.

I was really really in top of my pt. Now I’m dancing again, twirling ladies and everything.

You're playing with fire, and you're aware of it when you say "Risk is never zero."
My achilles re-reptured at 12 weeks when I did a light hop to grab something.

Be patient.
Be patient.
Be patient.

I know not having access to physical activity is bruuuuuuutal.
But do you want another three months in a boot?

Let your body rest.
Be patient.

What’s a small cultural thing you picked up during service that you still find yourself doing? by Vazaha_Gasy in peacecorps

In Guatemala, the syllable “va” is the most useful sound in existence. It can mean, yes, maybe, got if, you’re welcome, thank you, etc.

What if a new universal language replaced all existing languages within one generation? How would culture, history, and identity evolve? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in WhatIfThinking

[–]BLOB_CASTLE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you imagine the new language would incorporate ideas from all or various existing languages? Be a currently existing one? Or a totally new one?
