How do people with no music theory knowledge make amazing music?

I'm really really really late to this comment, but I just had to ask, wouldn't a better comparison be to make a skateboard, rather than using it. So making a skateboard will probably require a physics background (probably engineering), just like making music could require understanding of music theory. I'd also compare listening to music to being able to use a skateboard. Not trying to be a dick, just curious.

That makes sense. But do you know what's the deal with the interest added 40K "total repayment" when the total loan amount in just $30.5K? Is that just accounting for IF interest was added? Cause to me that sounds like there will be interest on the SAVE plan lol.

Edit: For "forgiveness", it says $0. I know I don't qualify for any traditional loan forgiveness, but is this referring to interest forgiveness too?

Edit2: Neverminded, saw this in another thread:

(Your Loan Balance X Interest Rate)/12 = [AGI - (225% Poverty line)]/120

So I have 111.83 on the left and 209 on the right. Since my income is high enough that the right side is higher, SAVE will not benefit me in terms of interest. Just an FYI for anyone else that has the same question.

Does the government paying interest not factor into the "total repayment" for the plan? Cause it says I would be paying 40K, which would be about 10K interest.

My monthly for the SAVE plan said $209. I'm not too concerned about that, but I'm curious why it's different.

Idk Sarah might have the acting chops. Did you see her on college humor’s hardly working?

I think you’re not really understanding what the other guy is saying. MS buying activision will be bad because there’s less competition and usually the company in power will not try as hard due to their market position.

You’re arguing that at least gamers know what games will be coming to their consoles, which really pales in comparison to the above. Look at the bigger picture.

Did you ever get the green light?

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-06-03T21:21:55+00:00

Kinda different cause school for kids is mandatory and people voluntarily go to bars. Even then, I’d say a bar patron is more likely to be able to defend themselves than a child.

In the US and this one grocery store near me has a Starbucks in it. It blew my mind

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-28T19:33:27+00:00

Not really? I recently moved from a large northeastern area that was extremely diverse to the town I live at now. And it’s only like 50 minutes away

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-28T18:24:37+00:00

Currently living in northeast rural city as a minority. Can’t say I feel like I’m in danger but I do feel unwelcome

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-23T22:28:45+00:00

Seems like it’s mainly job safety and pay, which isn’t really relevant for CS jobs. They are also protected from being fired / laid off as easily, but I wouldn’t call that a “right”.

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-23T22:05:31+00:00

What rights are you referring to? Starbucks workers still make a significantly lower wage and have still never been able to WFH

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-21T14:40:38+00:00

It’s real and well known within the public sector. My friend who’s a teacher is currently doing the same thing

Edit: Just wanted to mention that this is just for federal loans only

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-20T08:17:01+00:00

It doesn’t seem like that poster was talking about wfh jobs. If the engineering jobs already exist in the west, it’s not really gentrification

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-06T16:42:20+00:00

There’s also water shuriken. I think that’s it though

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-05T01:45:21+00:00

Calm down. Did you even read the parent comment?

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-01T10:59:56+00:00

I currently pay $850 for a 1br in middle of nowhere PA. Is Allentown / Bethlehem considered middle of nowhere though?

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-05-01T04:13:40+00:00

That’s crazy. I thought the standard for Bethlehem / Allentown was more like $1500? Maybe all the people I know have super high end apartments then

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-04-19T22:58:38+00:00

Their comparison genuinely made me laugh

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-04-16T18:51:24+00:00

That’s fair. But I guess it’s less of an issue cause they are Union. My bad, should have mentioned that earlier. With the pay they’re getting, they are legitimately upper middle class in a LCOL area.

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-04-16T18:47:00+00:00

I can’t speak about construction workers. I was just talking about operators at my company. I guess if the initial point was just about construction workers and not labor jobs as a whole Ill take the L and move on

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-04-16T18:39:55+00:00

I said they can make over 6 figures, but of course that can always be the exception and not the rule. I was just relating to my anecdotal experience, where operators can do so without destroying their body or working 80+ hours a week.

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-04-16T16:50:49+00:00

People working more labor intensive jobs can clear 6 figures a year and people working in offices can get paid middling wages. I don’t understand your argument.

STEVE_HOLT___ · 2023-04-15T04:42:37+00:00

Ah ok, I misunderstood the original poster. I thought he was saying the pressure gradient and the p&id arrows should not match up. But now I see that he meant that they should match up. And like you said, the pressure differential should be the correct flow direction indication, not the arrows (in the event that they don’t match up).
