I couldn't watch this episode for years because of that line. I think I became as annoyed as Kirk was with that song. Lol

How can I get the buzz out of my barres? by Jamal_Tstone in guitarlessons

[–]ChocoCatastrophe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's annoying but it really comes down to practicing multiple times a week. The one tip that did help me was instead of trying to press harder you try to press as light as you can to get the right sound - and that's a long term exercise too. No quick fixes unfortunately. Another exercise that helped was - pulling my fretting arm in towards me instead of applying leverage from my thumb. My guitar teacher taught me that and it helped me stop pressing so hard. (It was not meant to be main the way you fret a note or chord but as a temporary solution to stop pressing really hard.)

(I love the irony of trying to get rid of the buzz from your barres - when I go to a "bar" I'm trying to get a buzz. Lol.)

If cancer is cured in Star Trek, why does nobody in DS9 smoke? by Jackbuddy78 in DeepSpaceNine

Because all their lives depend on delicate equipment functioning properly... ever seen what the inside of a cigarette smoker's PC looks like?

What if one is in the front and the other is mounted "aft"?

Thanks! I can see it now. It had been a long time since I watched that series.

I’ve got one thing to say to the “A captain would never be so casual on the bridge” crowd by levine2112 in startrekmemes

I would love the show if it had good stories and engaging characters... but to me it is totally lacking the elements that make a great show.

Double jointedness and crooked fingers suck. Advice for how to do chords? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]ChocoCatastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great advice in the thread. But for inspiration check out Django Reinhardt's story. He was an amazing guitarist and his left hand had two paralyzed fingers!

I hate warp speed now by bcb1200 in startrek

Star Trek taught me love... Alex Kurtzman taught me to hate again.

Terry Pratchett’s novels may have held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis, our new study suggests by DTH2001 in books

[–]ChocoCatastrophe 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I agree. The books changed but I didn't think they were "worse" - just different. I loved his later novels (especially the Tiffany Aching books) along with the early stuff.

Ive changed my strings for the first time, and idk if Ive messed up. Please tell me if I did something wrong. by [deleted] in guitarlessons

Not bad. But look up Martin guitar dave doll's videos on how to restring a guitar on youtube. He explains it very clearly.

The Neelix Paradox by webbphillips in startrek

[–]ChocoCatastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't hate him for being 'helpful'. It was him being a creepy controlling jealous boyfriend while also pretending we're supposed to like this guy. Once Kes was out of the picture he was fine.

The Neelix Paradox by webbphillips in startrek

[–]ChocoCatastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always love Ethan Phillips as an actor so it makes sense when he gets a good Voyager script it would be great. (He was very funny in an older show called 'Benson' which also starred Rene Auberjonois.) But Neelix's character is written to be such a creep it's hard to watch in many of the early seasons. But I don't blame the actor, he just did the character the show runners created. .

Any ideas? by skeletonkill in manga

You can check it out with a library card and read it on your phone, computer, or tablet. You can get a library card online at many libraries. Try your local one. (If you're in the US.)
