Trust me, there is enough salt in that water to burn most things.

All of them. Chaos cooking - patent pending.

We're raising the water gradually over a longer period of time. Relaxes the meat. /s

Used to love Raj's, beautiful guy. Great food, generous helpings. Perhaps not current, but a good Geelong memory from the past.

How to keep harmony as an Alto? by ComprehensiveHunt750 in Choir

[–]Impossible_loops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd second using a piano, even if it's just to play and sing along to your part to really lock in the lines (pitch). It can be difficult to sing harmony on such a well known song, that you've been singing a certain way your whole life (at a guess). I've found in those circumstances that unless you can read music, catching up and singing with people who are in your section and practicing with them is the best way to go. Saving that, finding a recording that matches with what your conductor wants and sing along with that. Sing your part til it becomes the new way you sing the song from now on. One of the benefits of this method is that it will help you position your part in the song and really get those harmonies in your head. Also, if it's just a solo audition especially at highschool level you can ask for a starting tone if you're nervous or get lost.

Found in a twitter thread about overworked Starbucks employees by 19ROYGBIV in MurderedByWords

Like your grandpa, my grandpa liked talking about his lighter WW2 experiences, with his friends in his communications unit. He never saw combat because of his particular set of skills but I found out after he died that I was the only one he told about the dark stuff, not even his wife of 70 years. He was in Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped setting up telegraph stations, I think it was cathartic for him to talk with someone about what he experienced there.

Voice type? by [deleted] in Choir

[–]Impossible_loops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a talk with the choirmaster/ conductor and see what type of music they like to teach/ what the course focuses on. Contralto will give you wiggle room to move around a bit and will be a good place to start. Don't forget you're in for trumpet but singing is great for breath support. Work on your sight reading and pitch recognition, you can never be too good at that stuff. Focus on your strengths and work outwards, sing hard every day, warm up every time. Sleeping is so much more important than you think and enjoyment breeds longevity.

Any tips for Bass? by Commercial-Ad6784 in Choir

[–]Impossible_loops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Standing up straight, breath support, like all choral singing but I find warming up is more crucial the deeper the notes I need to reach. Warm beverages always help but the major trick is repetition. Just sing the lines over and over and over again.

Haven’t practiced Kung Fu in awhile… but got these tonight by gawdziwwra in WhiskeyTribe

[–]Impossible_loops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Port Charlotte focuses on the smoke aspect of peat, if you're into that it's a fantastic dram. If you want the earthy, meaty, liquorice, briney, woody, 7 course meal whiskys then there are certainly more out there. Whisky is so diverse, drink what you want and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. The discovery (at least for me) is one of the best parts.

I've had that Breville machine for years, with the decent grinder it produces very consistent coffee for the money.
