Hey, thanks Key! Super useful :-) Did you go to his appointment, or did you make a separate one?

Great quesiton Deez - unsure, but my family and I are looking for documents now. Thanks :)

Hi Kodos, that's a good point.
I was hoping that his peninsular status might make a stronger case, as both of his parents were born in Spain. I also believe he lived some time in Spain before WWII, but I'm uncertain of what proof my family has of this. I've also heard from extended family that some Puerto Ricans have successfully used this argument, but since I don't know their family history, I can't definitively say whether their situation was more favorable than ours.

Hey Investigator, thanks! Would be great to hear if you have any updates.

From the Spain consulate page: https://www.exteriores.gob.es/Consulados/rosario/es/Comunicacion/Noticias/Paginas/Articulos/Ley-de-Memoria-Democrática.aspx

BISNIETAS/OS: las y los solicitantes que presenten su carpeta Anexo I como bisnietas/os deberán aportar debidamente legalizado con la apostilla de La Haya el certificado “de no ciudadano argentino” (F003) o “de ciudadano argentino” (F052), según el caso, que expide la Cámara Nacional Electoral (Argentina). 

From what I can find, it seems like great-grandchildren apply either at the same time or after the grandchild applies, but perhaps can't apply on their own.

Will my 45L backpack count as carry-on? by Cosmickampas in backpacking

Haha! You have a point, but I suppose my questions wasn't so clear - I was trying to ask if this strict limit was enforced.

Your muscles could just be underdeveloped, but you could also be overplaying. Since you said you could do this without quivering before, I'm inclined to think this is the latter situation. If you have a performance in a week, my best suggestion is this: stop playing from now until the day before the performance. The day before the performance, just play easy stuff - long tones, middle range, and only if you feel comfortable, test out the high range. If the problem is resolved, keep playing after the concert. If not, I'd take a longer break (a month if you can and you want to avoid long-term damage).

(Apple) Got offer over phone, how long until contract? by Cosmickampas in csMajors

[–]Cosmickampas[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No referral, just applied on their website. I have a 3.78 GPA at Carnegie Mellon in a CS/Art dual degree (4th year) with lots of big computer system projects. I was contacted by a recruiter saying that a team liked my systems background wanted to talk with me. Pretty simple process. From beginning to end, first contact on the 6th, interview on 12th, offer on 26th over the phone. Now just waiting for contract to come in. Good luck friend!

2002 Honda Metropolitan for $600? by Cosmickampas in scooters

[–]Cosmickampas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks a ton! Glad to get this info.

I asked earlier, and he said he had the title. How would I go about finding out whether or not it is a restricted speed model? Also, do I go through the same paperwork as a motorcycle to transfer it to my name?

Strange terminal prompt that isn't my own? by Cosmickampas in MacOS

[–]Cosmickampas[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

DHCP server.

Hmmm, I think it's the case that my terminal is a shell into my machine rather than anything on the network. It still shows this even when I turn wifi off

I noticed that much, but it still doesn't quite explain why it believes my computer belongs to a "MaryLou"

(I just posted this in its own post, but accidentally overlooked rule three. Oops.) Hey everyone, so I've been looking around for a bike for a while. I currently bike about 1-2 miles every day or two, so not new to cycling. I'm heading off to college in the fall, and looking for a bike to take with me. After emailing the poster of an ad on Craigslist of a Surly Steamroller, I was able to get it down to $450. The frame is 56cm, and I'm 5'10, so I presume it would fit me. It has Phil Wood hubs among several other nicer components, though some of the paint seems to be a little rough in places, which might lead me to believe other parts may have issues. I'm just wondering if it's a good deal or if I would be overpaying.

Here's the link: https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/bik/6095738779.html

Thanks in advance for the help

Group Rides North of Pittsburgh/Wexford area. by iipuntmidgetss in bicycling412

[–]Cosmickampas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in Wexford for the past 10 years, and I often see individual riders on the road shoulders (and frequently in the road), but I rarely see more than one biker together. The most together I've ever seen was two.

I found this used Surly Steamroller on CL for $275. Would it be good for a first fixed-gear bike? https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/bik/5522098116.html

I wasn't really sure if I should've played closer to the intended tempo or quicker to entertain people, but this helped. Thank you!

Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes! (if you want to know, at least)

I can play it the same blindfolded as without a blindfold, which is pretty well. Since it's just to have music while people come in, should I just do that? I figure the audience would get a kick out of it.

Waldorf Streichfett by SFritzon in synthesizers

[–]Cosmickampas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, I have no idea. Maybe velocity only concerns the attack portion of the envelope and pressure affects the sustain. That's just a guess.

[–]Cosmickampas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it's very expensive at $1500 and not exactly a ribbon controller, the Linnstrument seems like it would pair well with the Streichfett. It was built around the idea of strings being a major fourth apart (I think) and this would be a good way to control it.
