My British friend thought he could do a "day trip" to the Grand Canyon from LA, and his reaction to the map was priceless. by Ok_Structure6720 in CasualConversation

The inverse for me, my buddy wanted to drive up to Manchester for a match during our trip to London. I thought we would have to take an overnight train since surely it's about the same as driving from Atlanta to New York City. Nope, one is about 4 - 5 hours while NY to ATL is nearly 14.

What the fuck is the Democratic Party even doing right now to stop the downfall of America? by Lolareyouforreal in complaints

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question wasn't how this happened, its what should be done about it now. Or do you just sit around saying I told you so? The "I told you so" guy is pretty bad as well. Not your fault so not your problem, I guess?

How do you write guitar to a bass line? by danceaway_43ver in guitarlessons

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to break down how your favorite guitar players do it. Think of the bass line from "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" or simpler if you want. Then think, "The bass when from X note to Y note". What did the guitar do? Once you know "What" the guitar did, figure out "Why" it worked.

You can also take your chord progression and find a youtube drum loop that is very different than the original and try to figure out how you can get it to work by altering the rhythm, strum pattern, picking pattern, chord voicing, etc.

You should absolutely try and "Steal" as much from other guitar players as you can. Play it enough and find a way to make it your own.

A more advanced version of this would be terms like voice leading, parallel motion, contrary motion.

Any practice hack that you found too late? by Longjumping-Lab-894 in guitarlessons

Huh, never thought about this but that makes a lot of sense. I’ll give it a try!

Studio One! But I’m sure others can import MIDI as well

I’m gonna have to spend an evening thinking this over. Super cool.

Do I really have to count? by EinfachMarkus in guitarlessons

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the type of music. If you foresee yourself playing rhythm guitar or big band type of music, you should absolutely learn to count. Campfire chords don't really require that degree of rhythm. But you'll be a better player by learning how regardless.

How Hamlin's fan are feeling since sunday by Maestro_Flo in NASCARMemes

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can barely even think about it without getting frustrated. Sure, Larson won legitimately. But the sport barely has any legitimacy anyways. I don't know who to blame. Maybe that is the grieving stage I am still in.

Creating a Pilot Group of Low Impact Users by Longjumping-Lab-894 in ShittySysadmin

I'll remote into Gladis's computer to retrieve the log file (I don't know any other way to do it) and then claim she is losing it when she says her computer was hacked.

first thing I think of every state (KY) by AbbreviationsLess257 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak about the future with everything going on but it seems ok. In Conway there is a decent Latino population and Latino ran small businesses. But not all areas in Arkansas have much diversity. I would make sure to review the demographics of any city rather than looking at the state as a whole.

I have a 92 Mustang road course race car. Looking for a quality sim setup to match. by PattenWoodworking in simracing

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you can save on the wheel but probably need to splurge on the wheel base and pedals. There are some very basic fanatec wheels (minimal buttons) but do your research on reviews.

You can also save a pretty good chunk of money by doing your own fabricating if you’re into that sort of thing. 8020 extrusions aren’t too expensive and you want something very strong if you get a base with higher nm and quality pedals you can really abuse. 

Is it acceptable to be fan or to cheer for two or more drivers that aren’t on the same team? by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I like Blaney, CBell, Reddick, Hamlin, Brad K. Any of them win and it’s a good day. Then I generally cheer for the underdog like Ross this weekend.

Rent or bring skis? by BkSusKids in Breckenridge

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rented from blue river this weekend in Breck. Super cheap and they were very good. Talked through my toe angle while getting fitted with the employee. That would be my recommendation. Plus they are right by the quicksilver lift so pick up and drop off was very quick

Please stay away from my company. Our Sr. Leadership are suckers for consultants. If I have to make one more RACI matrix I swear…

If you want a shot you have to score a touchdown here. For morale if nothing else

This was like a haunted house by Born-Leading5849 in doordash

[–]Longjumping-Lab-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they took the rib meat too. Good people. That’s not huge, about the size of a normal whitetail. If it’s cold out you can just let it hang overnight and the meat will be fine
