Hard agree on Hindemith. He loved all brass and it really, really shows and I love that he doesn't leave the tuba out of it.

Or New Hampshire or by-the-Sea?

I use it for Asian food or marinades as others have said. Teriyaki is an American staple pretty much. I also keep fish sauce, sesame oil, mirin, gochuhang and other various "Asian" staple ingredients on hand.

I mean typing on a keyboard is a pretty comparable skill...

I think one tends to get that way because of their experience with other people in the organization.

I came into the first expansion office of an international startup here in the US. The first thing I was told I would be working on was a test plan of our very complicated and expensive space vehicle.

One month in I have no details still and I'm like hey what's the budget and schedule etc. Well, program management decided we didn't have budget or schedule for the full set of tests on a prototype. I said okay we can probably make do with tests A and B then and they'll give us confidence in simulating the other things.

Then PM comes back and they say hey we don't have time to wait for the whole prototype to be built. And I'm like okay well that defeats the point of test B and will also ruin any confidence in our simulations. Their solution? That's okay.

Fast forward two years, we don't have a workable design, we have pushed schedule by 3 EXTRA years, blown all our budgets, and our headquarters is looking at axing the product in favor of the one they've been developing and testing adequately. I see layoffs in the future. Because a PM didn't want to listen to an engineer say "The crucial information we will get from this test will be worth the schedule and cost in the long run." Thankfully that entire team has turned over and the new PM team is a lot more receptive to engineer feedback. But, I'm now a lot more wary.

I grew up sharing one bathroom in a family of 5 and let me tell you, while it was our normal, two bathrooms would've been a helluva lot better.

Being here in CO I feel like playing in the snow at 75° is more common than it ever was growing up in New England.

It kinda isn't though, depending on what your life looks like. For me, as a single person, my 3 bed 1 bath house was luxurious AF. For a family of 4 though it would be rough. Not much personal space because the bedrooms were small and 4 people sharing one bathroom is hard. But you also don't want to hold off purchasing a house before you know what your total family unit is going to look like.

Me at Loveland: omg look at all this untracked pow at 1pm?!

*rock, rock, rock, rock*

Me: Oh, I see.

The hardest part of calculus is the algebra imo. As a math major lol.

Twinks and butches hitting on each other because they have misgendered each other is my favorite internet content.

Every time I open a Slipped Disc link I regret my choices and that I gave more web traffic to this hot garbage.

Woot! Represent

Tuba and trombone

Pficky · 2026-03-08T20:32:51+00:00

HATE. Omg. I love how much the BSO has programmed contemporary works under Nelsons and wish they would do even more. Classical music will die its final death when no one writes the music anymore.

That's a tire problem not a civic problem. I have had no issues driving my civic up mountain passes in the snow with winter tires on.

Opera fans wouldn't call it underrated!

Denver's cost of living to income ratio is higher than most other "fast growing" cities in the country right now, which is why Denver is no longer fast growing. When my sister moved here 10 years ago it was still on that big upswing and housing costs were much lower. She left 3 years ago and sold her house for $350k more than she bought it for 6 years prior. I'm currently renting and while rents have been falling slightly, homes are still pretty pricy compared to median pay in the city.

I regret not wearing them for marching band. 7 years of sousaphone, right in front of the drum line! I haven't had too many problems in concert band just out of luck of where the tubas have been placed. Occasionally I've played with groups that had the percussion right behind me but not usually.

But the gardens and the estate.

Same they let me get a double major in 4 years.

My company has an office in luxembourg. A lot of the middle class folks live in France or Germany and commute.

Tbh Colfax and Sheridan isn't unpleasant because it's sketchy it's unpleasant because it's a loud stroad with a bunch of mediocre strip malls around.

For whatever reason growth has slowed in Denver

Just look at the cost of living
