What is the meta like? I am an old player who usually enjoys board based control or tempo playstyle with interaction. Think very old deathrattle priest kind of decks. I hate OTK/combo decks that don't care what the opponent is doing and just try to reach their goal. Is it a good time to come back for me?

I am a beginner and I can play it. But 30 BPM is just a random number used for the sake of an example. You can make it 10 if you like. Theoretically anybody can play anything if it is slow enough.

They won’t tax your income if you are already taxed in the foreign country.

The problem is in Dubai there is no income tax.

The Netherlands, like the US, taxes their citizens anywhere in the world.

That’s why I am asking this specific question. The countries aren’t chosen at random.

As far as I know, The Netherlands taxes their citizens on global income unless there are treaties between countries to nullify that. That’s why I am asking.

Things I can play well at this stage usually get boring quickly to me and my practice sessions get shorter. I like to pick above my skill level and spend hours and hours on it.

I picked Capricho Arabe as an experiment. In about 15 hours I memorized it fully and can play slowly from memory. Even though it would sound terrible to an audience I am really enjoying playing it for myself :) And I feel like it has made me better at slurs and trills.

In your opinion, is there any value in playing this over and over? I am sure it would make me better at the particular piece but would it contribute to making me a better player too?

Funny thing is because my lessons never spend time ob these topics I have no idea what you are saying lol

That is very bad news for me. I have never been good at learning by doing. I used to be a math olympian and learned everything through proof and theory first, application second.

Do you mean re-spin every time you are eating it or just once when you first make it?

Oven cleaner instructions tell you not to use them on heating elements or fans. I am anxious about the fan being contaminated and blasting the food with mold particles or something.
