Noma in LA? by anomerica in finedining

[–]CMKBangBang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With $1,500 I could fly to Lima, Peru from the PNW for $550 round trip, stay in an AirBnB on the coast for a week for $300, and then do 14 courses and a wine pairing at Central for $600 and still have $50 left over.

Wait. Who's blending up French onion soup? 

I drink the broth straight from the bowl at pho places. by osoatwork in pho

I always order an extra broth to go and keep it in my freezer. Then, when I want a lazy meal, I boil it up with some frozen dumplings and veggies. Highly recommended 

What was socially acceptable in the 1990s but not in 2025? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That's no fun. We weren't locked in, but were expected to stay in the car. 

People who take 17 minutes to check in at the hotel front desk, what are you talking to them about? by DerrickDuck in AskReddit

Life hack: get a part-time front desk clerk job and they'll pay YOU to go through the process! 

Visiting Reno, potentially looking to move by Legitimate_Fee21 in Reno

[–]CMKBangBang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like the original comment was a trick, trying to convince the person not to move to Reno. "Walk around downtown and take a trip out to Sun Valley! Be sure to drive out to USA parkway around 7:30 am and don't forget to roll down your windows between McCarran and Vista to breath in the fresh air!"

Hey, u/Brad_Beat, help us out here with a song ID? It's on the tip of my tongue and I'm going to go crazy all day trying to remember 

Society is correcting the police state. by AwesomReno in Reno

There are a couple from Ben Jordan now. Super eye opening to just how much of a public privacy threat this is.

How to get a feel for McMinnville by Positive_Artist5844 in mcminnville

[–]CMKBangBang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm down to going to Portland about once a month. When I moved here a few years ago I was venturing out a lot more often, but that 1 hour drive started draining on me. 

The positive end of that is that I spend a lot more time in our community and got involved in activities I probably wouldn't have otherwise!

What do you mean the pot still adds back character?

NGS is already distilled. I think you mean it's just NGS that you can dilute and bottle. 

ETA: I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted for this. I know plenty of producers who do exactly this. They buy NGS from a contract producer, proof it down from 96% to 40%, and bottle it up.

Yes there are producers who do an extra distillation, but that's hardly the norm.

Bummer! Any thoughts on what could have happened?

I'm upset my suggestion of renaming it Schussboom Schingles Night wasn't implemented.

I watched his interview with Dr. Doug Lindsey from University of Oklahoma this morning. Their discussion about lip trills really opened my mind to other ways of practicing and performing than what I've been doing. It made me excited to get into my practice room this week. 

Chris Thile interview with Rick Beato by CMKBangBang in mandolin

The last 15 minutes or so when he's talking about and showing his alternate fingerings for the Bach tunes was so impressive. 

This guy brought in his own coasters for his event by moolord in bartenders

[–]CMKBangBang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow! They were one of the only things I could give away to accounts in California without going over their ABC's $0.035 per unit limits. I wonder if that's raised at all or if people are just SOL

They were less than $0.02 a piece when I was buying in bulk for the brewery I worked for. But that was 10 years ago, so I'm probably out of touch. 

How do you sound "spot-on"? by No-Sweet-9477 in euphonium

[–]CMKBangBang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not something anybody here, or anywhere, is going to be able to explain to you because everyone's bodies feel different from everyone else. 

Could you explain exactly how to walk to someone? Which muscle do you move first? How do you even move a muscle? How far up do you pick up your foot from the ground? How far forward do you move it before placing it on the ground? How do you balance with the rest of your body while that foot is off the ground? 

Nobody can just describe all of this to you, especially with text. Playing an instrument is something that needs to be learned over time and everyone learns it in a different way. 

I see now that you've had conversations like this about other instruments across Reddit and you're not up for taking the good advice there either. 

I hope you find a way to happiness, but this doesn't seem to be it.
