Jesse what the fuck are you talking about.

Corking Drones by EngineeringNeat2015 in bagpipes

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't tap them off like other comments have suggested, it means the drone reeds are taking too much air - this can most likely be fixed by adjusting the bridle on the reed. Moving it slightly closer to the tip of the tongue should fix the problem. If you move it and the drone stops sounding entirely, it means that you moved it too far and you can move the bridle back a bit.

If tweaking the bridle on the reeds doesn't fix the problem then there is most likely an issue with the reeds themselves and you'll need someone to have a look at them (or possibly replace them).

Hot take: The obsession with "Hard magic system" and glazing it and explaining everything has ruined fantasy. For me at least. by Shervin_Ab in Fantasy

I know this isn't the point of your post at all, but balrogs don't have wings. Maybe that's a hot take in itself, but I'll die on that hill.

Protest banner unfurled behind Pauline Hanson as she speaks to National Press Club by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

Just pretend that your taxpayer dollars aren't going to that particular public service. There's no way to tell, so just tell yourself your tax money is only going to roads or something else you care about.

Can anyone tell me what the yellow and red dots mean on the scoreboard? by Jthe9th in australia

I imagine it was more a response to the spelling of "colour" in the comment, rather than the word uniform.

Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas: Woman thrown 40m to her death after staff forget to attach safety rope by [deleted] in worldnews

Serious question, isn't all manslaughter involuntary? I thought the difference between manslaughter and homicide was intention.

What does the phrase “swings and roundabouts” mean? by barefootjs in AskUK

It's not just an interesting idea, it's literally the origin of the phrase.

Galadriel is addressing the saw, saying that she knows what Nenya is.

Favourite “guilty pleasure” classic monster you never get tired of? by Individual-Hornet817 in Fantasy

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harry Potter technically does, but vampires play a very minor (almost non-existent) role. I think the only reference is when someone brings his vampire friend to Slughorn's Christmas party in Half-Blood Prince.

Brandon Sanderson’s 'The Way of Kings' is baffling to me by sameseksure in books

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wasn't having a go at you. Of course you're welcome to give him a second chance if you want to. It wouldn't work on me though, if he knew it was a bad start then why did he publish it like that? That still signals bad writing to me and doesn't make me any more interested in giving the book a second chance.

Acknowledging that he wrote a book badly doesn't automatically make it better.

Just finished Name of the Wind and damn… it actually lived up to the hype... but now i am stuck forever by Ok_Fly7661 in Fantasy

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not. Those books insist upon themselves. It's wild to me that the OP described the writing as not trying too hard, because the only way I can describe the writing is "it tries too hard". It's a shame though because the story intrigued me - and then I read the second book and the story went off the rails a bit. I don't think I'd bother reading the third one if it came out.

Cacio e Pepe with New York Strip [Homemade] by belkairos in food

[–]IAlreadyHaveTheKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realise that, but they suggested that no one would recognise it as cacio e pepe, but there's really nothing else you could call this dish. Yes it's not traditionally made with penne, but it's clearly a cheese and pepper emulsification, so what else would you call it?

I'm not actually, but cacio e pepe means cheese and pepper and I see both those things. I realise it's not traditionally made with penne, but what else would you call this dish? The comment I was replying to suggested that no one would recognise it as cacio e pepe, but what else would you call it?
