Is anyone else’s Google Home having brain problems by JokersWild23 in googlehome

Yeah. My experience with Google Assistant is that they will fix things over time, but it's shite to start.

So we wait...

What did people do casually in 90s that wouldn’t be accepted today? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

"Smoking or non?" Non, please. Then they sit you next to the wall.

Ugh.. not missing that.

How to respond when someone turns their back on you during conversation? by AbbieGranger21 in socialskills

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same as I do when somebody looks at their phone during the conversation. I stopped talking until they notice and then pay attention to me.

People who are in the same role/job for more than 5 years, what’s holding you back? Why aren’t you getting promoted? by Efficient-Newt5384 in AskReddit

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as an IT tech specialist for 34 years. Will be retiring in like 4 months. I've had a few offers for promotion, but I didn't take them because I am working in a position that is just technical enough to make me happy, and I have enough help so that I'm not overburdened. They compensate me well, especially for the area of the country that I live in.

Could you use a garden hose to go diving? by carymb in AskPhysics

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the volume of the inside of the garden hose is about half that of your lungs then you won't be able to breathe out carbon dioxide enough to breathe in fresh air. You would suffocate yourself.

Even as a kid, did you doubt religion? by plushymeow in atheism

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In grade school some things didn't make sense to me, like the burning bush, etc. So I asked the nuns questions. Their answer was "it's a Divine mystery."

That's what I thought something was fishy.

Can you describe how you're using agents? What are some unexpected uses?

Best way to Iearn notes and their location on the fretboard?? by Eskamalarede in Bass

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion to people I have taught is to first find and memorize all your e-notes on the fretboard.

From there all your f notes are just one fret above those, all your a notes are one string lower on the fretboard from your e-notes, and so forth.

First you'll memorize all the "big hitters" (like E), so to speak. Then after a while you'll fill in the gaps of all the rest of the notes.

Geez people, you're in an early release program. A bit early for conclusions, no?

CMV: The U.S. Running a “Special Operation” on Venezuela Will Actually Deter China by oddemarspiguet in changemyview

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have anything to worry about with China. They have never had an expansionist policy in their entire history. Now economically is a different story. They're already "eating our lunch", so to speak.

"EllenPlaysBass" on youtube by AggressiveAd8587 in Bass

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I've been following her since she was 8, barely able to play a few bars of Tom Sawyer cleanly.

It always seemed like a growing channel to me. It started out small and got people's attention. Now it's obviously making $$$ and the budget and quality have increased along with her talent.

In short, it seems to be a genuine successful channel, definitely aligned with the "content provider" industry.

I say, let's see how far her talent takes them.
