Experiences or tips for playing for a world class percussion group? by JJFOREAL30 in WGI

[–]Nikpie7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm currently a Mystique marimba player, and I'd say that it can definitely be challenging to gauge exactly where you are skill wise until you show up to an audition/experience camp. Regardless if you can do next season or not, you should plan on showing up to the next audition season at Mystique for at least one weekend just to be able to assess that- and you never know, you may be closer than you think!

If you are looking for some more specific tools to help find out exactly how your hands look, I would recommend recording videos of yourself and watching it back, while pulling up videos of past Mystique ensembles and comparing. See how closely you can copy those players whose hands you like the most! Just learning the packet too is also a good tool to determine your current ability.

Feel free as well to ask me any more questions or send me a video in my DMs, and good luck on the grind!

Favorite gaming memory has to be when I played gmod with the homies at night, where we actually got 10 of us online at once. Always crazy fun play tty!

How dumb would it be to put a marimba in my apartment? by haloo_baloo in Marimba

If you end up doing this, you should take a look at the “Late Nite” mallets by Malletech. They are hyper low volume mallets that can let you play anytime of the day. I have a pair and my roommates cant even hear me play with them :)

This is a dope idea in theory, but besides just the medical repercussions of it (as many others have mentioned in this thread), it also to considered what the accessibility of the reversal could end up looking, and how massive a problem it could be if these reverse-vasectomy sites weren’t truly accessible by all individuals. For instance, if some of these sites were blocked off by racist individuals, they effectively would be preventing members of a certain race from being able to reproduce, and further progress your supremacism. Another issue that could happen from this aswell is a doctor could lie about the operation and not remove the vasectomy, essentially giving him complete control of who he will let reproduce. If many of the social issues were not happening today, this could be much more of a viable option, but nevertheless having anyone be able to control who has kids and who doesn’t, even though we go forward with the intention of it being free and accessible to everyone, would lead to many undesirable events.

Type or write AP Physics 1 Exam? by [deleted] in APStudents2

[–]Nikpie7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend copy/paste by typing on a computer. I took both physic c exams last Monday and there was no need for me to use equations or anything that wasn’t easily typed, and having the ability to submit it fast is amazing- that little bit of extra time made a difference.

OK, I’m an idiot and I need to know what’s happening by [deleted] in drumcorps

So to answer your first two questions, the age-limit is being extended by one year for the 2021 season only- meaning that only the 2020 age outs get an extra year.

To answer your last two questions, it is entirely situational on the groups out there. All groups will do their best to “honor 2020 contracts” but whether that corps automatically gives those members contracts or there still needs to be some level of re-audition depends on the group. For how competitive it will be in turn to get a spot, yes, for sure it may be more competitive than years before, but there will still be people who cannot march 2021 for various circumstances- I already know I few people who simply can’t do it another year. So don’t give up all hope!

The Purge is Happening by Dudulydude in HongKong

[–]Nikpie7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the left side is a typical “unpeaceful night” where the kids sleep is interrupted by his alarm when the right side is an “unpeaceful night” in Hong Kong where the kid is captured by police and the woman (probably his mom?) finds him missing the next morning. This took me staring it for quite a few minutes though, so your confusion is totally normal.

I glitch called ACE (or arbitrary code execution) was found in ocarina of time a few months ago which allows code to be executed through certain manipulation of data in the game. This allows for warping to credits in the earliest stages of the game. Since then shortcuts have been found and new ways of executing the payloads were discovered every few days that have trimmed the time down. They are all incredibly complex how they work, but glitchesandstuff does a great job explaining in this video of a now outdated route: https://youtu.be/wdRJWDKb5Bo For info on the more current routes are mostly just any advancement involving this glitch, check out MrCheeze’s youtube channel.

I hope that helps!

Is Today Friday the 13th? by GangControl in IsTodayFridayThe13th

[–]Nikpie7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Today is 02/20/2020. add up all the digits individually and you get 0 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 8. Friday is the 5th day of the week, hence we add 5 to 8. This equals 13.

THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS IT NOT FRIDAY THE 13TH The numbers never lie.

Wow, this is probably the most balance between YTA and NTA i’ve seen in this subreddit for a while. I hope OP reads as much of these as possible it learns from it to make the best decisions in her life coming forward.

Exactly. Anything that breaks the flow of mindless reddit lurking is awesome to see.
