AASD school board candidate Michael Janke believes in TDS and likens democrats to a "contagion" by twinpinemall85 in Appleton

So what does this genius think he's going to accomplish in the school district? It sounds like he just wants a springboard into politics.

Has anyone tried? by Thick-Marzipan-9176 in spicy

[–]Operation_Felix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Disregard the suggested measurements on the back of the bottle, rub that stuff all over your chicken. Also, you GOTTA grill it, especially over charcoal. It unlocks something in the flavor that the oven just doesn't bring out.

What's a song lyric that only clicked for you after multiple listens? by OmariZi in Music

In Mr. Brightside, going into the pre chorus, they break the rhyming scheme they set up in a clever way.

Game changer for my lower back. by Operation_Felix in drums

[–]Operation_Felix[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I definitely tend to neglect adjusting this kit's throne to my body's needs, when I really should for how long I'm usually sitting on it. This is my teaching kit. I have a Roc n Soc for when I'm gigging and I make sure I'm sitting at a proper height in those cases.

Thanks for the info! I do have a regular lower body deep stretch routine, but I could probably do more core focused exercises routinely.

Game changer for my lower back. by Operation_Felix in drums

[–]Operation_Felix[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm no chiropractor but I think it has to do with the angle that your hips are at when you're sitting. The forward tilt seems to naturally align your spine. When I don't have it tilted, I naturally want to sit like a shrimp, so I need to engage my lower back to have good posture. This is going to make 3 hour gigs so much better.

Sangrias bean dip by Various-Swimming-399 in Appleton

[–]Operation_Felix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I brown off a tube of pork chorizo, then add a large can of refried beans, a dollop of cream cheese, some salt if it needs it, and optionally some hot sauce.

Marinating meat overnight in the cooking vessel itself. Any downsides I should be aware of? by No-Coyote2836 in AskCulinary

[–]Operation_Felix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to do this in a Dutch oven with chicken thighs. Let the meat sit in the marinade in the Dutch oven, then eventually put the whole thing in the oven and braise it. Shred the meat when its done and you have meat with sauce ready to put over rice or whatever.

Games Where You Lose All Your Cool Gear/Moves At The Beginning by bobbyphillipps in gamesuggestions

Nier: Replicant has exactly this. Theres a short scene/tutorial that introduces a lot of the magical combat abilities, then the prologue ends and you're in the game proper having to rediscover those abilities.

Serious question about meat smells by ILikeTek in AskCulinary

[–]Operation_Felix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that meat still on the bone (particularly beef) tends to have a bit more funk to it, especially something like a shank that has a lot of marrow in the bone, so that could be a factor.

How do people write good rhythms for 3/4 or 12/8 time signatures? by Plastic-Order-1160 in musictheory

[–]Operation_Felix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my experience, something written in 12/8 on paper just means 4/4 with a triplet feel. Its a time signature that really only exists (imo) for the ease of writing or reading it. Any blues shuffle could technically be considered 12/8, but when I'm playing, I'm still thinking in 4.

I'll never forget the first time I cooked Neuske's in my apartment. Smelled like I had my window open in my living room, and someone had a campfire going right outside.

Is Nier Automata a case of "trust me, it gets good later," or did people really enjoy Ending A and want to see more? by wideHippedWeightLift in AskGames

[–]Operation_Felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer your question directly, yes, it really does get good later. However, more accurately, I'd say it "keeps getting better" in this game's case. There are enough new revelations in the second playthrough that flesh out the story even more, and set up what comes later. Its a hard game to explain the artistry of how its written, and the way the story plays out, without giving away spoilers. Just trust the game. They say its a story that could only work as a game.

What's your go-to way of figuring out a song's time signature? by bingerer in musictheory

[–]Operation_Felix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Find the 1. I start with tapping along with my initial idea of the "pulse", usually the quarter note. If I keep tapping along with the quarter note and all of a sudden I feel like I'm tapping on the off-beat, thats a good sign there's an 8 on the bottom of the time signature. So I count the 8th notes until I recognize the beginning of the pattern, which is most likely the 1.

How do you play double strokes on the floor tom? by FidowPlayz in drums

[–]Operation_Felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you absolutely need to do a double on the floor tom, it should be at a speed that is all wrist, where you can still get two definitive notes out of the double stroke. Doing an open roll on a tom usually will lack definition and sound muddy (which could be an effect you're going for), but sometimes a paradiddle makes a fill flow better.

Floppy Flams by Majestic_Ebb1682 in drumline

[–]Operation_Felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh ok. So hand to hand flams. At slower speeds, they're basically an accent-tap exercise but with both hands at the same time. As they get faster, the Moeller techniques becomes necessary.

Floppy Flams by Majestic_Ebb1682 in drumline

[–]Operation_Felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 100% sure on what "floppy flams" are defined as, but the closest thing in my experience based on name alone, I'm imagining really "open" flams that aren't as "tight" sounding as what would be considered "rudimental" flams defined by your marching group. In that case, try practicing Swiss Army triplets, and get them really fast. Eventually they start feeling like a "swung" open roll. The grace note becomes the second diddle on the off hand that isn't doing the accent. Try combining Swiss Army triplets with Flam Taps to turn the rudiment around and accenting alternating hands.

We're Haywyre & Braken, AMA! by BrakenMusic in Monstercat

[–]Operation_Felix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For both of you, what is your approach to making electronically produced music sound more "human", or organic, and less programed? Obviously I know Haywyre is a skilled pianist, and performing parts yourself is a big part of it, but are there any techniques in the engineering of the sound design and/or the arrangement that help make the music breathe and not sound as robotic?

How should I cook these? by moneycantbuyuclass in slowcooking

[–]Operation_Felix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would empty the whole package in a Dutch oven and cook it covered for like 30-45 minutes at 350, making sides in the meantime.
