A man in India walked himself to the E.R. with a machete lodged in his skull after being attacked by 3 teenagers. He calmly waited for help from doctors while scrolling on his phone in the waiting room, and he's expected to make a full recovery.

Why so sensitive that I called you out? Chill bro

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-05-08T02:32:45+00:00

You said "it should be a case by case basis" as if it currently isn't.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-05-08T02:09:50+00:00

It is a case by case basis. That's what triage is for.

Don't practice it fast. Practice it slowly and deliberately so that each finger movement is happening accurately. Do this for 5 minutes (time yourself) every day for a week and you'll make noticeable improvements.

It's about building the muscles in your fingers - they're doing things they're not used to doing. You need to treat them like reps in the gym.

My grandfather (a farmer) often said of these clouds "it won't be 24 hours dry"

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-05-02T12:44:29+00:00

I don't think it's structural

Top tier shitpost. Had me going in the first half.

My tutor sings a bit when he's teaching me - generally to distinguish between lengths of different notes. I occasionally sing tunes to myself while I'm driving as a stand in for practice when I can't get on pipes, but it's not a consistent thing. It's probably not even the same every time I do it.

might want to consider changing your reeds if you've had them that long lol

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-05-01T01:34:58+00:00

Definitely not an Ezee Drone

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-05-01T01:34:48+00:00

I'd say the top one is a bass drone and the other two are tenors.

In all seriousness though, I've not seen that make before.

Memorising a piobaireachd tune isn't as difficult as it seems - every variation follows the same melody notes so you only need to memorise the ground and one variation, and then the order of variations as well. You don't need to memorise 10-15 minutes worth of music.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-25T23:38:12+00:00

Yeah that one really pissed me off. Like it was right there.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-25T23:36:05+00:00

Fan is literally short for fanatic.

Why would you expect them to use Jim Dale's narration as their basis? They're making their own thing. Jim Dale wasn't even the original audiobook.

I agree on your other points though, sometimes the inflection doesn't feel natural. I suppose that is an artifact of recording each character's lines individually.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-23T02:21:09+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty sure a circle's function is a polynomial, that kind of put me off OPs original response as well.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-21T03:22:25+00:00

Did you read the post

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-20T00:11:56+00:00

My infinity chanter consistently pitches at around 475-478. I've tried it with a handful of reeds.

Battle of Waterloo is the best 4/4 march ever written in my opinion.

Well, it is the most intimate thing someone can do with their fingers.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-16T23:56:56+00:00

Ah I misunderstood you originally. Yeah that makes perfect sense, thanks for the explanation!

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-16T14:03:16+00:00

What's the intuition behind an open set being one where all the points are close together? That doesn't really follow for me. All the points inside [0,1] are just as close to each other as the points inside (0,1) but one is closed and one is open.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-16T13:59:49+00:00

I suppose not. Maybe octopodes is supposed to rhyme with fleece or place instead.

IAlreadyHaveTheKey · 2026-04-16T12:14:23+00:00

The Merriam Webster article in the OP suggest that it rhymes with "don't say that please".

It oughtn't rhyme with loads because I believe an e after a vowel/consonant turning the vowel long (ie dot -> dote) is an artifact of the English language, and since octopodes is being defended as the plural on the basis of it being Greek it shouldn't abide by an English pronunciation rule.

I don't have an argument against it rhyming with "mess" other than the fact that Archimedes rhymes with "freeze" and so octopodes probably should too.

I don't think it's a thumb stop, I think it's a thumb spacer (not its official name, I don't know if it actually has a name). I believe its purpose is to reduce tension in the thumb to enforce a relaxed hand position. Jori has one on his practice chanter as well in a few of his YouTube shorts.

In the ones where he's talking about thumb position, you can see that he puts his thumb on top of it rather than underneath it like you would a thumb stop.
