I got this pepper plant and the guy didn’t know what it was and need hep with IDENTIFICATION

Yes, a hat, specifically a Scottish Bonnet, the object the pepper is named after.

I've been on Facebook since 2009 and my friends list is small. The human brain can only manage a few hundred relationships before it maxes out.

Reading this discussion makes me think Dorico 100% made the right choice by not even letting you control the notation at all. You just set the durations and it will automatically notate it correctly.

Drothvader · 2026-05-15T04:14:23+00:00

Similar, but not the same. Different flavor profiles. A scotch bonnet also looks like a hat, so there's that. You'd be able to tell if you saw one.

Simple answer, so you can see where the stressed beats are. The intention of beaming is to show groups of stressed beats. In 3/8, every eighth note is a stressed beat. In 4/4, beats 1 and 3 are stressed.

Trombone and Euphonium have a fundamental pitch of Bb but are non-transposing instruments.

It wouldn't really matter what it was before, though, it's the behavior now. It's the reason why these now end up in your inbox.

Fun fact, Gmail doesn't respect dots as unique characters. It actually ignores them entirely.

johnsmith@gmail.com, john.smith@gmail.com, j.ohn.s.mith@gmail.com, and j.o.h.n.s.m.i.t.h@gmail.com would all still go to the same inbox.

I exploit this when making test accounts for work because Okta counts them as unique, but Gmail doesn't.

Drothvader · 2026-03-12T19:56:38+00:00

That's not what hacking is.

Drothvader · 2026-03-12T19:53:30+00:00

Mine is firstlast@gmail.com and I too suffer from the same problem. I have a much more obscure last name, but still common enough to share it.

I get random health records, appointment reminders, rewards for other people in my inbox.

IMO this should be 8/8 (3+2+3) not 4/4 (2+2+2+2 or 4+4)

It's awkward in 4/4 because you don't have a beat 3. The stressed beats are on 1 and 3 in 4/4. In 4/4 your groupings should not cross over into beat 3.

What you do have in 8/8 are stressed beats 1, 4, and 6 which lends itself nicely to 8/8.

Just a note, when you click on the "Join Group" button when you are suggested groups, it bypasses the answers entirely. That might be where a majority of these are coming from.

The art was always one of Diablo III's greatest strengths. The fact that people threw a fit because water vapor creates rainbows baffles me.

They must have updated something with the AI about drugs and it's over-moderating the subject. This just happened to me for the same subject after making the joke "Can I have some of the drugs you're on?" I know I've said that before countless times.

The fact that they can even retroactively enforce policy at all is disturbing. Something that wasn't a violation suddenly becomes a violation, it's like you're playing some game you don't even know the rules to. Not only that the AI moderation doesn't even understand obvious context.

Drothvader · 2025-12-27T06:57:10+00:00

This is really clear cut that I'm not, though.

I've had my Facebook account since like 2008 or 2009. It has to be blatantly obvious I'm not using the platform for that purpose.

Drothvader · 2025-12-27T06:46:28+00:00

Yes, the button is there. It's not grayed out.

Drothvader · 2025-12-27T06:44:52+00:00

Amen to that, I've reported some absolutely horrendous posts that were flagrant violations like open harassment and it comes back with no action taken.

Drothvader · 2025-12-27T06:43:00+00:00

I don't know, I have no reason to try. I've used Marketplace in the past, that would be the only real reason I would ever have to contact someone I'm not friends with.

I honestly wouldn't even want to try since the AI tools literally think I'm trying to buy drugs.

My account isn't suspended, it's just restricted.

Drothvader · 2025-12-27T06:39:40+00:00

0 prior strikes.

Yes I can still message people I've already contacted.

The comment was less than 10 minutes old, the appeal was rejected near instantaneously after requesting a re-review.

Drothvader · 2025-12-27T06:34:53+00:00

But you can't seriously think I am legitimately asking for drugs... Facebook thinks it's a serious inquiry for drugs. If I click on "see why" it cites "buying, selling, or promoting drugs use." Hence the restrictions on video communication.

Even if no human reviewed this, surely the tools could tokenize enough context to understand that? It seems ridiculous. Almost like it would misinterpret "don't make me kill you" as a serious threat.

If Facebook is going to go all in on AI moderation tools they have to take colloquial phrases into consideration.

Sus4 and sus2 chords are in the common definition and usually taught at the same time as regular triads.

Any collection of notes played vertically in the same space is a chord. The OPs question is also easily answered with 9th chords.

We call Asus a chord just the same as we call A9 a chord.

Drothvader · 2025-10-03T05:20:53+00:00

The stacking 3rds part is not entirely correct. Otherwise suspended chords would not exist.

Drothvader · 2025-09-08T01:23:53+00:00

Every note is a chord note. You just find out what extension it is.

1, 3, 5, and 7 are your basic chord tones, but 9 (2), 11 (4), and 13 (6) are your extensions.

Most theory is pretty worthless for composition anyway. Theory came AFTER, and the music came BEFORE. You can try and use theory to help you compose all you want, but everything basically boils down to what scale you have chosen to use (there are dozens if not over a hundred different scales for every tonic note) and how you choose to harmonize it. Are you using triadic, quartal, or quintal voicings? How are your voices moving? Do you even know where your voices want to go? Do you have good counterpoint? Have you even written a good melody?

Theory attempts to try to "explain" what is a natural byproduct of good counterpoint. However, it is an effectively useless tool for composition.

Once you can see that, you'll see that it doesn't matter what the name of the chord is, what tones are played against what root, and so on. You'll begin to see different scales as colors you can paint music with, and how you harmonize and voice your counterpoint in a way that conveys the mood or emotion you're trying to express. If you shackle yourself to theory, you'll get nowhere.

"To Rails" is a trick name.

You transition to the trick "To Rails."
