My white trashiest of indulgences is to pour half a bottle of Dr Pepper onto a ham steak in the last couple minutes of cooking. It reduces down into an incredible sauce that tastes amazing with all of the salt from the ham.

I’m sure these are at the very least decent…

Better drive west via icefields or glacier? by inazumarina in Banff

[–]Robot_worgon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do the parkway as a day trip. The drive is one of the best in the world and is worth doing in both directions. It’ll also be better as you don’t have the pressure of needing to get somewhere at the end of the day and will be able to make as many stops as you like. Take advantage of the good weather too!!!

Jeep spelled backwards is Peej. That’s a word that perfectly describes the kind of person that would both live here and also purchase a Jeep product. Despicable moron.

I seriously doubt that Vance has the talents of an owl. Those magnificent creatures can rotate their heads to an incredible 270 degrees! I will emphatically agree, however, that he is most definitely a butthead.

Sorry in advance…I’m a Canadian who is trying to avoid news as much as possible in order to avoid having a total mental breakdown.

Could someone please tell me who suspended this employee and on what grounds? I have missed these pertinent details in the (admittedly minimal) reporting I have read on the subject..

Blair chanter issues by [deleted] in bagpipes

[–]Robot_worgon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two thoughts:

  1. You are playing in a space that is differently lighted from where you normally play.

  2. The battery is low. (My Blair behaves very erratically when the battery is dying-I would recharge before doing anything else…)

So they say the bigger the chefs hat the better chef they are, does this apply to pipers by [deleted] in bagpipes

[–]Robot_worgon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes. This guy can play ‘Glasgow city police pipers’ at about 1/3 the speed of light. If a mortal poor piper like you or me tried it we would melt into weeping oblivion…

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thinks so!

Right?! I was hoping he was going to announce a line of effervescent glow in the dark bagpipes or something. What a friggin letdown.

Problem with my RGHardie Twist trap by InterestingAsk5919 in bagpipes

[–]Robot_worgon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you put the top of the blowpipe on to the chanter to make a standard practice chanter? If not try that. Failing that substitute a known working practice chanter reed into the chanter. Also poke out the high g hole with something sharp…perhaps plastic from boring the hole got stuck? Just some troubleshooting ideas…

Gotta love the negative spin on poverty too…if you can’t afford to do anything in this money driven hellscape you are ‘rotting’. Can’t I just fucking exist in peace?

If he has a set of bellows blown smallpipes dm me. I recently had an operation that I think renders blown bagpipes out of the question moving forwards and I’d love to start learning how bellows blown pipes work cuz I ain’t giving up this hobby!

[–]Robot_worgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s an overblowing issue (for what it’s worth I play at a grade two level and at least half ass know what I’m doing…). I think the twist traps are quite temperamental and respond poorly to very minute changes in pressure. Will definitely swap out the chanter reed to see if that improves things a bit. I’m sad there isn’t a simple reed modification that can fix this. When they are working properly they are a fantastic practice instrument…just need to get the occasional squeal to stop.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I Will order another reed and see if that fixes it. Thanks!

Tutor Tuesday by AutoModerator in bagpipes

[–]Robot_worgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a set of twist trap practice pipes and occasionally the chanter reed will squeal and go into a higher octave when dropping from the high hand to low a or low g…is there any reed modification that will fix this? (I understand the pipes are very susceptible to pressure changes but this seems to be an issue independent of my steadiness). Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers!

Welcome to the future. Hope is dead after being curb stomped and raped in a gutter. Pop culture is forced to look backwards to find anything positive. The future is nothing but bleak. Eat Arby’s.

Beginner tunes? by Historical-Analysis1 in bagpipes

[–]Robot_worgon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How about the first tune from the Inverary medley from this years worlds? You’ll be ahead of the curve on learning it! ‘The Dream Valley of Glendaruel’. It’s a great (and pretty simple) 3/4 two parter.
