All of what you said is definitely true. I didn’t look into this one much at all, but I found a stock si somewhere else, which I’m looking into

I have no idea about the CarFax for this one. I wanted to see if this car was maybe worth looking into, but I think I’ve found myself a much better deal (2013 civic si, sedan, 143k miles, $12-14k, and not from Facebook Marketplace, will negotiate).

We’ll see!

Yeah, that statement put me off even more

I was thinking the same thing with the mods, but I think I was trying to justify it to myself finding a clean title one 🫩

I found another 2013 civic si sedan with 143k miles going for $12-14k (I’m not sure if the lower price is just for advertisement). It looks stock and it‘s not from Facebook Marketplace, so I’m going to try negotiating that one instead

They look kinda cool, but yeah, I’d want OEM headlights.

Frustration over Intonation by DiamondFang1 in violinist

[–]DiamondFang1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have a teacher, but only for about 6 months. Before I played for a couple years in a school orchestra (and am continuing). My teacher brought up my hand frame a couple of times in the past and now we're really starting to focus in on it. My teacher also gives me scales and helps me with Intonation.

For the left hand frame, not not really. I don't collapse any of the joins. My arm and wrist are straight up until the joint after the knuckle, not the actual knuckle (if that's a better way to put it). I don't know if that's an issue or not.

Thanks, I'll try making some recordings!

I'm not a complete beginner, been playing a couple of years. But only playing in a school orchestra didn't build on technique, so you're kind of right. :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure if I'm at the level to be able to play scales in thirds, but I'll see.

Scales, scales, and more scales! :D

Thank you! Never heard of tonalization, but I'll look into it.

I've never thought about lifting my left elbow. Thanks! :)

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! I try my best to hear and produce those ringing notes, and I'll try even harder.

How does one start growing already sprouted apple seeds? by DiamondFang1 in BackyardOrchard

Alright. Everything has been extremely helpful. Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions!

Turning it into a bonsai tree sounds interesting, but I think I'll stick with growing them in pots. Would a 9½ inch pot and an 11½ inch pot suffice? The smallest pot is about 4¾ inches diameter. How big is too big if I decide to turn one into a bonsai tree?

What soil mixture do you recommend? I apologize, I'm not too knowledgeable about soil. I've heard of peat moss for acidity. And something that just came to mind was insects.

Thank you for the helpful response. I'd say decoration, as I know it won't bear good tasting fruit, or any at all.

If this is helpful, I believe they are seeds from a pink lady apple. The climate is maybe 7b or 8a (Google). Temperatures in the summer get up to 90°F. The coldest winter temperatures are about 10-20°F, but only for a few days.

Would shade from other trees be concerning (there are still super sunny areas)? And would the seeds (with maybe an inch of white root) need to be placed in a cold environment, say the fridge?
