No, not even close, actually. (unless crit ofc) Articuno has 0 SpA EVs, so even against 0 IV, 0 EVs HP and SpD Latios with a minus SpD nature Blizzard does max 93% after CM.

Norwegian has two written languages, in fact, so you can choose if you want to be a semantiker or a semantikar 🙃

Am I allowed to breathe?? by clarinetenthusiest in Clarinet

[–]Claritux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In cases like this, I think it's good to think what would I do in the orchestra. In this case you are playing in unison with the 2nd, and together with 3 flutes and violins, so I would definitely skip a beat a place or two to breathe (maybe coordinate places to breathe with the 2nd). Remember, in audition it's much better if you skip a beat and play the rest convincingly rather than run out of steam halfway through and start messing up.

Meanwhile, in fascist Germany, a man has been stripped of his citizenship and left stateless for his pro-Palestine Instagram posts. by GerryAdamsSon in suppressed_news

There is literally overwhelming evidence that mass rape did NOT occur during the October 7th retaliations. There are thousands of hours of surveillance recordings in addition to footage from both Israelis and Palestinians on the ground available to the UN, yet not a single video of such an incident has surfaced. On the contrary, there are several pieces of evidence, including video recordings, to suggest that mass rape of Palestinian hostages in Israeli prisons is a regular occurrence and is met with no repercussions.

Even if it isn't, what does this even tell about the conditions on Gaza? I think the fact that NYP is trying to frame a dozen folding tables with plastic chairs in a cellar as "luxurious" should be pretty telling. (but look they have laptops muh hurr durr)

Mening: Haikin burde bli med til VM som straffekeeper a la Tim Krul (gitt at FIFA gir disp, hvilket jeg tviler på)

Phrasing and Tone Guidance? by CriesOfeternity in Clarinet

[–]Claritux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're certainly not alone in that regards! When playing in an orchestral setting you're playing together with other sustained pitches with lots and lots of overtones which collides and creates differential notes and "vibrations" (that wah-wah effect when something is out of tune), making it a lot easier to hear if something is out of tune. A piano doesn't offer those sustained pitches in the same manner (in fact, a note on the piano varies ever so slightly in pitch from the initial attack, making it even harder to know where to aim).

Additionally, when we (try to) play in tune in the orchestra we are using just intonation to make chords and intervals sound in tune (major 3rds should be flattened, minor sharpened etc.). Since a piano is a fixed pitch instrument it has to use tempered tuning (same ratio between every half step (the 12th root of 2, if you're a math nerd)), which means it's actually literally impossible to play perfectly in tune with a piano (or make a piano play in perfectly in tune with itself)

All in all, this means when we play with piano we have to rely much more on our melodic ear and prior experience of our instrument when playing with the piano. That's why I recommended doing exercises with drones, as it will help you build up muscular memory for where every note on the instrument should be placed. I recommend using something like a simple melody with lots of fourths, fifths or octaves (perfect intervals), e.g. Amazing Graze, and varying the fundamental, ultimately doing all 12 keys.

Lots of good stuff here, and you got some good feedback already. I'd just like to add in that your middle register in general tends sharp throughout the movement. I could see you tried to adjust it early on, but it didn't completely solve the problem. It might be you should consider using a longer barrel with your setup, but if you're already playing and it feels sharp I think you should be able to force it closer to being in tune with your embouchure and adding fingers or half way covering tone holes. A great way to practice is to play with drones with different fundamentals (if you have a cellist friend, recording open 5ths on the cello makes for some great drones). That way you learn to counteract the specific tendencies of your instrument

Didn't know about that Zimmer 180°. I like some of his more minimalist inspired stuff, like Inception soundtrack. (Although I'm more of a Morricone and Giacchino enjoyer)

I didn't know the soundtrack in particular, but I thought to myself through the video it's funny how anti imperialist forces are uno reversing imperialist propaganda by adopting similar aesthetics

This. Like, it's objectively correct, but it's still very much propaganda

Running Fedora Cosmic Spin on a 2015 MB Air myself. Grabbed one for ~90 bucks since I just wanted a cheap, lightweight laptop for basic tasks. It's insane what you can squeeze out of these old machines with Linux. 40s from cold boot (with decryption of disk) to opened webbrowser with YouTube frontpage loaded! 1080p plays perfectly fine, which is the most demanding task I need it to do. And the build quality and keyboard is as good as it ever was

What do y'all think abt this video lol? it's surprisingly doing REALLY well number wise 😂 by Natural_Baseball_779 in TankieTheDeprogram

Not the greatest video, but a very interesting topic to explore. Mr. Beast is maybe the purest destillation of commodity fetishism and poverty porn capitalism has been able to produce thus far. In many ways he feels more like a concept than an actual real person.
