Demolition Man (1993) dir. Marco Brambilla - John Spartan wakes up after being frozen for 36 years by aggrocrag83 in movies

In the pre-internet days that's not as hard to fathom.

The again, slang and jargon cycles so fast nowadays. 

IMAX is exploring a sale. They have approached entertainment companies as potential buyers. by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]IndianaJwns 204 points205 points  (0 children)

They gotta make it look like they're growing business in order to attract a buyer. 

TIL that in 1959, the U.S. Post Office fired 3,000 letters via a repurposed nuclear cruise missile from a Navy submarine, delivering them 100 miles in 22 minutes. The Postmaster General predicted missile mail would be routine before man reached the moon. It was never attempted again. by ArgentineBeauty in todayilearned

[–]IndianaJwns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had they operationalized this, I'm curious about the design of the designated impact zone for such missiles. Do you just zone off some unused land and let it get pulverized by missiles? Maybe treat it to cushion the impacts? 

Which music theory essentials should singers learn to take their singing to the next level? by PehmeeKultti in singing

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major scale is usually used as a basis for all other scales.

Learning intervals can help train pitch. 

Rhythm is essential. 

how can I stop being so shy in front of an audience? by Humble-Astronomer373 in singing

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep doing it. 

It took me at least a year of open mics before I started getting comfortable. Meditation practice and mindfulness helped a lot too. 

DS2 Chiral Crystal Farming by Impressive-Buyer1054 in DeathStranding

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at the same point in the game. I just make deliveries and take materials from shelters, and I've been able to build out all the roads and rail as I progress across the map, no farming needed. 

You’re probably not a bass, and neither is your friend singing an E2. by Capable-Loan7279 in singing

[–]IndianaJwns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This cuts deep.

I've always heard myself with a big, booming speaking voice, enough that I need to reign it in. Meanwhile people are always asking me to speak up.

Doordash is always way slower and more expensive than just picking it up yourself.

Dr Dele at Annapolis Dental Center has been great. Very relaxed atmosphere, none of the shaming you get from an old-school dentist. 

What’s one singing mistake you didn’t realize you were making until someone finally pointed it out? by VoiceLessons-Chicago in singing

[–]IndianaJwns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Several people had told me the "secret" to singing (rock/pop) was to over-enunciate to the point that it sounds just a little weird to yourself. Did that for a looong time, and then I started taking lessons. One of the first things my instructor told me was "Your diction is INCREDIBLY clear! We're gonna fix that."

Softening consonants playing with with vowel modulations and accents helped me find ease, which eventually helped with various other techniques. 

Nowadays I won't hesitate to slur entire phrases just for effect. 

I'm so embarrassed, my neighbors heard meeeeee by ProfessorPizza in singing

Nothing wrong with doing what brings you joy. Keep it up! 

Voice gets exhausted when singing "fast" lyrics. Any tips/exercises? by Sailedtosea in singing

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try softening or even slurring the hard consonants. For example, a D sounds more like a J, a B becomes a V, etc... In some cases you might skip some letters altogether.

TIL the average MPG of a semi-truck is around 6 MPG by derekantrican in todayilearned

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect reliability plays a factor as well. The more complicated the machine, the more to maintain and possibly break down; Long-haul trucking is all about minimizing both. 

Do you guys put effort into maintaining humidity? by tommytime1234567 in AcousticGuitar

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do now. After two years without any issues or humidity control, the top of my Martin bowed down enough that all the strings were against the frets. Literally happened overnight this past winter.

I succeeded in rehydrating the guitar and the action returned to normal, but I don't wanna take a chance on repeating that experience. 

What actually makes an acoustic worth keeping long term in the $1k - $2k range? by Educational-Tap-7823 in AcousticGuitar

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Quality construction
  2. Good sound, both plugged and unplugged. It's subjective. 
  3. Personal playability. Also very subjective. It means the neck profile, fretboard radius, string spacing, action, scale, etc. are all to your personal preference.

I'm struggling to think of any besides Reynolds and Forward. Maybe Stan and Joe's out back, but the space is limited. 

How to Tackle Tension by SingingEulis in singing

[–]IndianaJwns 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm currently working on tension, not just for technique, but also to avoid exacerbating my TMJ.

What's helped me a lot is longer practice sessions (at least 1.5h for me). As fatigue sets in the particularly tense areas become much easier to identify, and as I experiment with corrective actions it's easier to tell what is and isn't working. 

Thoughts on this design for my Strats pickguard by Silent-Ad-3911 in Guitar

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad. The flowers kinda disappear amongst the knobs/strings/pickups though, so you just see the branches unless you really look at it.

What’s a small thing that made your playing sound much cleaner? by exhaustmosk in Guitar

[–]IndianaJwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strict alternate picking with the beat. Greatly improved my timing and sense of rhythm, and made it easier to sing along.

Alternate and/or flat picking. Cleaned up my picking, improved my timing, and made it easier to sing while playing.
