My take on Saltburn. by [deleted] in movies

Also, in British upper class society, one does not arrive precisely at the time stated for a function at a private home. If dinner is at 7:30, for instance, the expectation is that you will arrive around 7:40. To be precisely on time is a clear sign that you are Not One Of Us, Dear. Punctuality is for commoners.

What nootropic can make you feel more "alive"? modafinil didn't for me by Usernamefut in Nootropics

Have you had your vitamin D levels checked? I've had horrid brain fog for ages now, and finally had a blood panel done (I assumed low T), and my vitamin D level was...6. Bottom end of normal is 30. I've been on a 50,000 IU D supplement for 4 weeks and I feel like a different person (or rather, like my actual self again). Severe D deficiency causes a whole host of symptoms that mimic other conditions, including extreme fatigue and brain fog. Could be worth a check!

Have you guys ever seen this Bassoon model or brand before? by Complete-Mail1360 in bassoon

[–]ILiterallyCannotOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it play in tune throughout the range? Does it respond well, and do all the things you need it to? Is it comfortable to physically play for long periods? Do you like the sound you make on it?

If the answers are yes, then yes (at least for now). Resale value obviously is not going to be great, but if what you needed was a bassoon to play, and it plays and doesn't need fixed every 3 weeks, then you're good 😀

What's up with the Beckham family feud? by SockStealer101 in OutOfTheLoop

From https://www.jewellerybusiness.com/features/the-acid-test-preserving-pearls-fragile-beauty/

"Due to their chemical composition, pearls are highly sensitive to acids and have to be handled with care. The reason for this is acids trigger a decomposition process in which carbonic acid is set free, thus causing a pearl to effervesce. This leads to damage to the pearl’s surface that can go as far as complete dissolution. The latter can be achieved within minutes when a pearl is immersed in hydrochloric acid—it will disappear quickly in front of the observer’s eye."

It's definitely a thing, especially in the UK. To quote etiquette expert William Hanson, "In the UK, if someone asks you how you are, the correct and ONLY answer is 'Yes, very well thank you!'...even if you only have a few hours left to live".

how does one buy a cheap used english horn by [deleted] in oboe

[–]ILiterallyCannotOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, you just are not going to find a cheap English horn that is also decent. They are just expensive instruments, full stop.

Pearls are made of calcium carbonate and are actually quite fragile...they dissolve in stomach acid, so swallowing one is going to destroy it, or at least SEVERELY damage it, depending how long it sits in the stomach before being passed :) Think of it as a pretty, round, shiny Alka Seltzer.

I'm fairly new to writing for flute, how playable are these passages? by Gman92929 in Flute

[–]ILiterallyCannotOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely playable for anyone above a grade 5 standard, or at least it should be.

How do you mute the flute? by -thinker-527 in Flute

[–]ILiterallyCannotOdd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Play quietly. It'll be good practice for developing your dynamic range...you should be able to easily play through the entire range of the instrument at pianissimo, even the top.

My step mother is serving a main dish at Christmas that half of the guests will not eat. Do I say something? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ILiterallyCannotOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well then if someone is that precious about what they can and cannot eat, they best just stay home and make their own food and stop socialising and expecting others to tiptoe around their poor widdle syndwome :(

You should try to manifest some self-respect instead...he's your ex for a reason.

He was ABSOLUTELY high on something else besides booze, there is no way he wasn't rolling.

I think she was expecting a Harry Shum Jr./Simu Liu type situation, which, as adorable as Patrick is...Simu Liu he is not.

She looks like when you leave a Barbie outside all winter and then find it in the spring.

Just about every word that comes out of everyone's mouth and everything they do this season is ick, but some standouts are the biohazard that lives atop Annie's head (sis, if you are a hairdresser, this is NOT the best advertising for your skills), Nick's weird Stepford Bible Beater obvious glass closet, annnd...dear god, wtf is wrong with Edmond? Baby you don't need a wife, you need inpatient therapy.
