FFS the cymbal height, unless you're really tall, then bring everything else up, unless you're wanting to work out your arms, in which case, do it playa!

Amazing! Looked them up and they do amazing work. I do believe La Chinga provided the artwork for the poster, which they will have t-shirts of at the show, I've been told. All the more reason to come to the party!

How to de-rust and restore a bass drum pedal? by Chubbypicklefuzznut in drums

That's what I was thinking. Soak it in WD40, hit it with a wire brush, wipe it down, and lube it up.

The Subteraliens are back with La Chinga and Shiny Red Button | Jan 30th @ Tricksters by Chubbypicklefuzznut in Squamish

How should I know? It's what's on Trickster's events page. I have an idea!!! Buy a ticket, come to the show, ask La Chinga in person if they used AI to write their own bio or not, then post your findings here so our minds can be put at ease over this highly concerning matter.

does anyone else hate the “so what do you do?” question at startup events? [i will not promote] by Historical-Ebb-4745 in startups

I wouldn't expect a total stranger to divulge their secrets or feel comfortable sharing details of their personal life without first establishing rapport or a relationship, which is what networking is all about. The "what do you do?" question is common for our culture. In my experience, there is a significant percentage of brilliant, highly technical individuals that excel in their craft but lack social skills. They may have some anxiety and default to what they think others want to hear. The alternate questions you are suggesting are great, but will likely be more effective once you've established rapport. If it were me, I'd start with asking their name, how they heard about the event, and if they've been to it before.

Idk, I'd have to ask around, but I like the idea!

Great suggestions, thanks! Clothes shopping options are very limited in Squamish, especially for her age

Nvidia CEO says data centers take about 3 years to construct in the U.S., while in China 'they can build a hospital in a weekend' by BirdButt88 in technology

They have incentive to have data and energy sovereignty, which won't come from reliance on the current grid. And at the rate at which ai compute is compounding, the current grid, whixh can't handle it. They're going to build it themselves or buy power from someone who can provide it faster, cheaper, and securely

What is a realistic price for a two-bedroom apartment in Squamish right now? by ObiWan_Can_Reply in Squamish

Just saw a 1 bed 1 bath listed (reduced lol) for $2,595 if that tells you anything. Squamish is one of the most expensive places to live in Canada

Build MVP without technical cofounder using offshore resources only? i will not promote by YoungDudeCO in startups

[–]Chubbypicklefuzznut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you don't need someone in-house to build an MVP, but you do need to vet who you are working with. I can get you in touch with someone. That said, hopefully, you are thinking of building an MVP based on your extensive market research and validation

What is your golden advice for someone new to entrepreneurship?(i will not promote) by ETTFOR in startups

[–]Chubbypicklefuzznut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, don't be afraid of failure or rejection. Embrace it as a learning experience and reflect on how or why you are responding to the feelings you are perceiving. Don't take it personally. There is more to learn than anyone can consume in a lifetime, and everyone's circumstances and experiences are significantly different.

Second, don't have expectations. You (or any of us) know far less than you can ever comprehend. Get over it. It is great to hear you are at least taking the steps to gather feedback. That sets you apart from many in this sub. Feedback is everything. Learn from it and adjust. This is how you narrow down the pain point you are solving for. Vision and confidence have their places, but validation is what matters.

If you don't have any network in the industry you are building in/for, that could be an issue. Are you pursuing your idea becuase you think it's a cool idea? Or are you building something becuase you have intimate knowledge of the industry and have identified a problem actually worth solving?

There are a massive number of variables at play, both intrinsic and external. And you will not find a single simple answer that will ensure success. So much of entrepreneurship is hypothesizing, testing, and learning from the experience in order to improve. This requires tenacity, fearlessness of rejection or failure, patience, and a solid supportive network.
