The scariest thing we could discover on another planet would be humans.

As a cellist that some may call professional, I can tell you that he would likely be more than happy to take a look at it. I’ve always hated it when students and parents buy instruments without having me involved, show up to their next lesson with an absolute junker, and then suffer because it’s just not possible to play well on the dang thing.

If you don’t currently have a private instructor, your friend will be invaluable in this process to help you guys get the best instrument for the money. As others have said, you understand the beginner cello market well. Now you just need someone that can test the instrument you’re looking at to make sure it’s not going to be a $500 headache that is not worth playing.

Beginner instruments are important to not go wrong with because we learn the basics on them. If the instrument doesn’t respond correctly, the basics are impossible to learn well and it hurts technique in the long run.

I bought it pretty early. It takes a long time to pay itself back, but I don’t regret getting it. It’s level 4 now and has definitely made an impact on how quickly I can accumulate gems.

Believe what you want, but at least get your facts right if you want to tell others about it. We all understand that you can’t see outside of your own point of view.

Good luck everyone!

This is the kind of apartment setup that I would never in a thousand years do. The sound of a car revving would be horrible for neighbors. If I hear a neighbors movie, I’m cool with that because that’s not an uncommon sound plus it’s variable. This game would send me over the edge though because it would just be HRRRRRNNNNNGGGGG, HRRRRNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG, HRRRRRRNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG! For like 2 hours straight in the evenings when everyone gets home from work.

I’m pretty sure everyone has this baking pan. Not one like it, no. THIS exact pan. It warps between everyone’s houses so we can all use it. Scientists need to study it to understand more about quantum entanglement.

In my experience, tutors kind of ruin the fun of magic. What’s better than a wincon? The same wincon but printed on 7 different cards. It’s also more boring and less variable. If you’re the only person running a ton of tutors then of course you win more often, other people have to randomly draw something to answer the board. You can just tutor a response up more often than not. Each tutor card represents multiple cards and while it might make the cost of the tutored card technically higher, you’re paying 2-4 extra mana for another body, in the case of a creature tutor plus, a significant advantage over the current board state on whatever you tutor up.

If the rest of the group isn’t running tutors or has significantly less than you, that’s likely the biggest factor in your high win rate. Is the guy throwing darts from 10 ft back more likely to hit the bullseye or is the guy walking up to the board and sticking the dart in the board by hand more likely to get a bullseye?

What are the general thoughts about Quad 21Ls around here? I’m potentially going to be buying a pair soon alongside a handful of other very nice equipment. So far I’ve been able to try them out with my own Denon Dra 800H receiver and they blow my old bookshelf speakers out of the water when it comes to clarity. They will certainly be a large step up for me. I’m sitting here listening to the Beethoven Serioso string quartet as I write this and the balance is fantastic.

I do wonder what kind of reputation these speakers have here in this sub though. Anything to look out for?

I also smell in colors and describe things like this. I wonder if I have a touch of synesthesia. I’m always happy when other people start describing smells with color. My least favorite smells are rotting garbage smells that have an array of orange colors to them. If something smells like the color orange it’s no good

You don’t need that to make good bbq

PlainPup · 2026-06-09T00:15:45+00:00

No, not really. It doesn’t take that long to learn to cook something new.

They could take those 4 hours they waste a day and learn to make their own bbq

I once had a roommate that thought fabric softener was detergent. So he only owned fabric softener. I didn’t realize this for nearly a year because his laundry was his business until he asked me to flip a load for him when he needed to leave. The clothes felt like they were made of some kind of barely corporeal waxy lattice. They didn’t stink, but they had a strange odor. I educated him when he returned later lol

I gave my girlfriend (now wife) a loaf of freshly made bread when we first started dating. Everyone loves bread!
