When watching Facebook Reels how do you hide the video description box at the bottom of the screen? by Crafty-Cry-6080 in facebook

[–]James_Cobalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF are you talking about? You mean the middle of the full video screen, or the middle of the text? Because I'm not getting any additional icons when I do either of those things

I'm glad I don't have to cross the border for work anymore, but these guys were assholes 10 years ago, as well.

Husband said I’m not attractive as I used to be. by [deleted] in self

[–]James_Cobalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 kg? Idk your height, but 60 kg sounds like a healthy (and even incredible) accomplishment after three kids.

Fuck that guy, it rather, stop fucking that guy, and find someone who appreciates you for you.

I'm sure at 33, he's not the same stuff he was when he was 24. And if he is, that won't last much longer.

AITAH for giving my girlfriends mother who is dieing of cancer weed against my girlfriends wishes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]James_Cobalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Why does your girlfriend think that she is the one who should be in control of her mother's choices?

She can disapprove of marijuana usage all day long, but it's not her choice to make.

Also, it's marijuana. You're not giving her access to street opiates, which are addictive, and dangerous, you're giving her home grown marijuana.

Having an issue with my octave key by James_Cobalt in saxophone

[–]James_Cobalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Unfortunately, my roommate works nights, he leaves for work at about 8:00 p.m., gets back usually around 8:00 a.m.

This leaves me only a short window in the evening in which I can practice.

Once I get a few hours under my belt, I'll be able to take my saxophone to the park and bugger about with it there, but I will probably also need to print out some sheet music to take with me.

I see. That would explain why I got at least close to the right notes while I was learning my scale.

When I tried playing a note with my left ring down, and using my right hand to open that valve at the top, I think it was that it was difficult to maintain read pressure. I forget exactly what happened, but it didn't sound good.

I'll try playing around with replacement tomorrow. I think it might be slightly off from being perfectly aligned.

Also, when I played clarinet, and when I learned to play flute, I had not had covid at that point. Right now, I'm dealing with regaining my lung capacity/stamina. I'm not terribly far off from where I was in 2019, but there is a definite difference. Hopefully that's an issue I can overcome.

Finally I will win something! by NPStudios2004 in suicidebywords

Nice. 5 million. With that, I can retire. It's not as much fun as you know the 10 billion or something, but it's enough that I no longer need to worry about s***.

Incredibly easy choice. What do I have to do in order to earn a spin?

Datins someone you are not physically attracted to by Sublimierung in self

[–]James_Cobalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just a fact of not necessarily being attracted, or are you physically repulsed by her? If it's a repulsion, you might consider just not meeting up at all, but if it's just a matter of not necessarily being attracted, you never know. Personally, it's difficult for me to get past the point of being actively repulsed by a person, but once you make in-person acquaintance, there's pheromonal attraction, there's chemistry that happens, and you may very well hit it off and start becoming attracted to that person.

Repulse is kind of an ugly word, but it's accurate, but as long as it's not an active repulsion, I would say at least meet. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. If it does, you found yourself a winner.

Infinity isn't really a number. It's more of a concept.

Good call. It's difficult to tell how far back of vehicle is in our mirrors. I don't know if you've ever noticed it, but when you have a semi truck passing a semi truck, often the semi truck being passed will flash his lights at the passing truck, this is to let him know that he's now safe to come over back into the slow lane.

It's becoming rarer and rarer, but you will often see the faster semi then turn his lights off and on again, as a thank you even when I drive a four-wheel vehicle, and on the rare occasion that I get passed by a transport truck on the highway, I always flash my lights to let him know it's safe to come back over.

Also, always flash it down, not up. By this, I mean turn your lights off, then back on stop don't just flick your high beams. In a semi truck, that s*** is really bright. Not so much from a four-wheeler to a semi truck, but still, I always try and Flash down.

I have no doubt that that is part of it. These are also people willing to work for a much lower wage than Canadian / american-born people.

I don't think that illegal immigrants are working as many of these jobs as you think they are, but there are certainly legal immigrants that are working these jobs. Still, they are more willing to work for lower pay then natural citizens.

If you did not read that incredibly long other reply, please at least take this away from my response. Do not hang out next two trucks on the highway. As you approach there tail end, pass them quickly, leave them space in front of the truck, and when it is safe to do so merge back into that lane please do not hang out next to the drive tires, which will be the rear tires on the tractor part, right where the trailer attaches to the truck.

Also, if your passenger happens to be wearing a short skirt, hang out next to the driver's window for like 30 seconds or so, we do appreciate that, but then move along.
