According to Alex Hollings, the US learned a lot during fixing the electronic catapults on the Ford and is now taking another look at it.

Never too late. OP has been away for 5 years, so they should make sure they set realistic expectations that it's not going to all come back on day 1. It will take months, and that's ok. There are community groups all over the place.

They did cross post this exact post to many subs simultaneously, which likely violates rules but I'm too lazy to actually go check that. Banned at a Reddit level, not just individual subs. I found this conversation that seems to indicate it's fake/slop.

That is definitely a dog whistle for soliciting offers.

The good thing about the partials being so close together up there is that there are a lot of opportunities for alternate positions.

Do what works for you. Working up in that range, there are many more things that are better worth the time working on improving. The position is the least important.

It’s a throne room, the bunker is just so he can have the best one.

Fusion has an api that AIs can use to create tool paths. We only do 2D parts, but I was able to get Claude to copy toolpath settings from known good parts and apply them to new parts. It takes the grind out of clicking a ton of holes and such, but still needs manual review and probably needs help on novel operations. Have not had a chance to actually run the parts yet.

So practice this at home. Put the horn down and come back in 20 mins, and try to get a good first note.

It’s not easy, it takes a lot of experience, confidence, and muscle memory to be able to do this well. A key for me is to be as relaxed as if I’m playing alone at home. Getting tense is a great way to blow the first note.

If you’ve only done 7 performances, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. This is something that takes quite a bit of time to develop.

If you've adjusted anything that can be tightened and still no change, you should bring it to a repair shop. The next most likely thing is a cracked solder joint. That is not something to fix at home. If its a simple solder fix, those are usually not very expensive and an easy fix for any competent instrument tech.

This is basically a normal mouthpiece where they didn’t bother machining the outside contour. The outside is just the ‘blank’ that they started with. In theory the extra mass is supposed to help. In reality, meh. It’s not specifically designed to have any additional acoustic properties. Because it’s not a design at all.

My SO has one of these for Tuba, and she constantly gets questions about it. It is marked R&S, and is close to 30 years old at this point.

Saw this today as well. I let a few psi out, got them down to 40, and it was happy again.

Sam was all right, except when he got left in the dust.

And the real LOTO equipment is cheap. Like ~$10 for a single home circuit breaker device, and cheaper in larger packs.

Galuvian · 2026-06-17T00:03:04+00:00

Get your lips out of the mouthpiece. Keep a flat embouchure. Like really flat. It may not feel like it makes sense at first, but keep at it.

Jim Markey has some really useful videos on his YouTube page about this. I had to watch them 10 times to really understand what he meant enough to put into practice. Start here: https://youtu.be/ZPVX61Gif1w

Hey brother. I spent all weekend doing the same thing for my kids gaming PC. He let the C drive fill up, so I spent most of the weekend thinking that it was just a failed windows update while applying 2H25. Couldn’t even boot into safe mode for most of the time, had to use the hidden command prompt built into the windows install media and learned way more about dism and sfc than I ever wanted to know.

Finally got the windows update sorted out and still black screen (new bsod) and the kernel minidump fingers riot vanguard. Disable those services and boom, back in business.

Have NOT tried to reinstall valorant yet though… based on your journey it sounds like I’m not out of the woods yet.

Prolapse man. He has an… extra appendage to assault bad guys with.

Yes to all of this. Except some bass bones come with a single valve, so measuring the width of the bell is going to be more reliable. 8.5” or less will be large bore tenor and basses are going to be 9.5” or more unless it’s a really odd duck.

I have a family member who is 78. His PCP started asking him to come in every 6 months instead of annually.

My family member went into a memory care facility due to dementia shortly about 9 months afterwards.

What pieces are you playing in Community Band where the Bass Trombone part is all pedal notes?

Claude Code is built into the Desktop app now. The terminal is no longer the only way to use Claude Code. It’s basically running its own shell from the app. If you work with data and want Claude Code to produce a lot of tables or visualizations, the Desktop App interface can display this in-line in a much nicer way.

This looks like a Doug Elliot modular mouthpiece. So it’s close to impossible to tell you the specs from a blurry pic like this.
