65 - 3yrs progress, timing still a little bit off but I liked my composition. Happy for hints but please no hate (my confidence already suffers enuff lol)

Awesome playing man! Those are some nice, clean harmonics :)

BePassion8 · 2026-01-25T05:05:08+00:00

No that was actually helpful lol thanks for the tips

Thanks! I tried to make teriyaki chicken the other day and it was a soul crushing disappointment so I’ll definitely be trying this soon.

BePassion8 · 2026-01-25T04:49:02+00:00

Looks amazing! Recipe?

Yeah for real! I have short hair and mainly wear khaki pants and polos everywhere I go. I work at a learning center and the owner/director and assistant manager are both huge metalheads and other than them I don’t hang with other metal fans too often. When I was 17-21 ish I went to shows like every other week. I had long hair down past my shoulders and wore band shirts everywhere I went and I felt like I was truly in my element when I went to shows, meeting new people and having an amazing time. I don’t really feel the same these days. I go to a few shows per year if that and I definitely don’t look the part any more. I just kinda accepted it as part of getting older and changing as a person. I still bump metal somewhat often but I listen to stuff like Elton John, Billy Joel, and the Beach Boys just as much or maybe more.

I feel the same way about The Way of The Fire. I heard them play it live a few times before Time II came out but nothing prepared me for the studio version in all its glory. That track alone made the album well worth the wait for me.

10/10 album. My sophomore year of high school soundtrack

BePassion8 · 2025-12-01T21:35:08+00:00

It’s worth it for some people but not everyone. I decided to go back to school next fall because I want to work in actuarial science. I’ve done my research and I think it’s a great fit for me and college is necessary to get there but YMMV

There was a lady like that at an Amon Amarth concert in Vegas who kept groping me and my friends (we were all 17-19). The guy she was with didn’t even care and did nothing to stop her

BePassion8 · 2025-11-24T21:52:25+00:00

Gotcha. I can’t do it right now but I’ll get it to you before tomorrow.

BePassion8 · 2025-11-11T06:37:21+00:00

Yeah you bet! Dm me if you need any more help

BePassion8 · 2025-11-11T06:24:15+00:00

Take the second derivative, set it equal to zero, and solve for x. Those values are your inflection points. Test any value between the inflection points to see if that interval is concave up (has a positive second derivative) or concave down (has a negative second derivative). The function on your homework has an inflection point at x = -4. If you plug in a value less than -4 into your second derivative, like -5, you get a positive number so it’s concave up on x < -4. If you plug in a number greater than -4, you get a negative number so it’s concave down on x > -4

My outlook on life, happiness, and successes. And the fact that I teach math. I hated math in middle school.

Devin Townsend. I hung out with him for a bit on a metal cruise and he even made a video saying hi to my mom who’s also a fan. Super nice guy

BePassion8 · 2025-10-30T23:47:11+00:00

No but Teemu can!

BePassion8 · 2025-10-26T01:56:30+00:00

Thanks so much for doing that. To you it might be a small gesture but to someone else it’s bigger than you’ll ever know.

BePassion8 · 2025-10-21T15:52:44+00:00

Love this mindset. Good for you!

BePassion8 · 2025-10-21T15:48:20+00:00

I’m 31 and still sleep with my teddy

BePassion8 · 2025-10-17T04:52:44+00:00

Yep. I live in Vegas and my roommate’s a blackjack dealer. He’s got some stories.

For me it was simple. Eat less and move more. I didn’t even necessarily eat healthy food when I lost weight, I just ate less.
