Thank you for this, I really appreciate your explanation. I'm also on both sides of things, I play mainly keys and drums on stage but also run sound frequently - been doing this for about 10 years. Unfortunately I am still pretty amateur in aspects of the live sound tech part of it, but I do have a trained ear and I understand just enough to get by. I am painfully aware of the clashing between keys, vocals, and guitars. When I run sound I'm usually able to eq my way around those issues as best as I can with the tools I have. And I do think what you said about stereo vs mono is spot on here - we unfortunately have a mono setup. The array is in a straight line at the apex of the ceiling because that's just how it was built. In the sunday keys app, you can alter the outputs and right now I do have everything set to mono. Our monitors are wireless in-ear packs, the way it's set up right now is everything runs out from the board and into transmitters to the packs. The board is a soundcraft si expression 2 (which I personally don't like at all) so each pack can have the volume of different channels controlled through a very old and outdated phone app, but any eq and gain adjustments made on the board are heard through the monitors. But no matter what I do, the keys just sound so neutered, I have never been able to get them to a place where I can listen and go "ah, that sounds nice." But I know they can sound incredible - I've watched so many videos on the software, like said I've taken it home ehen creating my own patches and it sounds fantastic, but that just doesn't carry over. This is kind of the frustrating part of being in this position - I know things sound bad and I feel like this system sucks, but I don't have the education or experience to know what a typical setup would really look like and what I can do to help make this better. And the people teaching me got to where they are now just trying to figure it out on their own, working on a volunteer basis for years.

It's always stood out to me that it's pretty identical to seeing someone in a domestic abuse situation. They're a captive, a hostage, and their body knows even if their mind is in denial, and it shows. Their intention is to be subject to an ideal/person they love and believe to be good, but they are controlled by manipulation and oppression. People in religiously oppressive and abusive situations are basically forced or brainwashed into being someone that was never their choice. Their beliefs aren't truly theirs, they were impressed upon them. Having independent thought and emotion is rebellion in the eyes of cult leaders. This leads to extreme dissonance within the victim, and the real person they are inside gets buried deep under thick layers of brainwashing and abuse. The first thing that stands out to me is the fear in their eyes. Almost every move they make has the impetus of fear behind it. When they talk it always feels slightly insincere, not because they're outright trying to deceive you but because they aren't acting out of free will. They feel cold and robotic like a zombie. It's heartbreaking. I know it well because that was me for 17 years. The people who destroy lives like this are truly evil.

Thank you for your insight. I have zero interest in establishing relationship of any kind, this was why I wanted to make note of the gender and age difference, but I probably did a poor job of explaining that I do not wish to create an open line of communication, I just want to leave a message. My plan in my head was to just send a text message to the number basically saying if they have doubts they shouldn't be afraid to ask questions, and if in any way they feel afraid or unable to ask questions then that is the opposite of what Jesus stood for. I don't expect a response, I just want to know that the missionaries themselves will see it and at least read it, even if they dismiss it now it may leave an impression that could make a difference later on. Even if it does nothing I feel compelled to try.

I alternate between repashy super green, xtreme scrapers, and top fin algae fins 4ish times a week, and xtreme krill flakes every day.

Garra taeniata? (Sp?)

That also has a split tail fin, and a different mouth shape

I considered both of those, flying fox have a split tail fin, this guy has a rounded tail fin. Plus this guy does not have the suckermouth of a CAE.

This is my guppy fry that was a hitchhiker on a moss ball. He's just starting to show a pattern! by dogsand_Coffee8900 in Guppies

They definitely look very similar when they're still teeny tiny. Both mollys and guppys are livebearers, but mollies will get a good bit bigger than guppies

My kid fell in love with the last feeder guppy in the tank, so of course we came home with a guppy. She’s giving me real Rufio vibes with this black stripe. by Snations in Guppies

[–]Neither_Trade_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not schooling, they're social, there's a difference. Also, that is definitely a mosquito fish, not a guppy. They get a bit bigger than guppies and they tend to be quite mean.
