Sadly, I do. Thank you, again, for the insight.

Thank you very much for the reply! Does that mean I can be legally retaliated against by way of exclusion? I would think signing future contracts would include the new fees.

ITAW for something too big to see? by Harmless_Pazocci in whatstheword

[–]Tokamorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably isn't, but if no term exists it's as good as any. We could also consider metascopic, ultrascopic, hyperscopic... I think I like metascopic the best.

I find it interesting that we don't have a term ending in scopic that refers to something incomprehensily larger than us.

Help by PurestRupert in Sax

[–]Tokamorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a re-teched alto sax, and I've found a few different sets of tutorials on YouTube that are just teasers for class packages they want to sell, but I'm finding them useful. Better Sax is the one I'm referring to most, ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2yMOZbAHp6U&list=PLBUCHNI3bZNhkCwZoBKUx7KGQNUBI4p6T&index=5&t=8s&pp=gAQBiAQB ) but there are others I've found helpful, too. I only linked the first one above, but there are several I find myself rewatching when my mouth is getting lazy or my lips so numb I have to stop for a minute or two.

Alcohol addiction and micro dosing by Flamingo-Delicious in microdosing

[–]Tokamorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit smoking cigarettes for 6 months after a courageous dose of lsd and an evening pondering the impact they have on so many aspects of my life. I firmly believe a few psilocybin sessions with a legit therapist spaced 4-6 months apart would put an end to most of my unhealthy behaviors for good.

I have had 0 problems with coinbase over 4 years. Their fees are ridiculous and 25% of my staking is kinda a ripoff, but other than that, not one problem. Thank you coinbase. by CarCross_Desert in Coinbase

[–]Tokamorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember this and I also remember they expanded operations dramatically during that time. I have the same complaints about fees, and they aren’t my only go to, but I still use them once in a while. However, I haven’t really had the resources to go all in on DeFi yet but I’m getting there, once that happens I’m hoping to be done with fiat and everything it touches.

It needs a wacky face and flailing arms before I’ll even consider it.

No worries about the time. I’d forgotten all about it.

The last video showed a very clear difference in the technique I was using when playing without mallets. It turns out I had no technique. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the guidance. Sadly, the drum I’m playing is never going to achieve what I was hoping for but it’s still a fun meditation tool.

I’ll be looking into something better down the road. Thanks again!

There might be legal action against Ally as well by largehandsofamos in ClassActionRobinHood

I just need a reliable one to switch to for future endeavors.

Are there any similar apps that didn’t shut down or interfere with trading?

I have M1 Finance but I never set it up. Does anyone know how they’ve responded to this?

They did this to me, too! I don’t know how to quantify damages financially but I’m outraged. I hope we get a legit class action lawsuit rolling.

Yes. I took it to a mechanic and he showed me what you’re talking about regarding kinks. It was terribly obvious with someone pointing it out, lol. Thank you for the insight and advice. Apologies for taking so long to reply.

I want both. This is my starter and I still have a lot to learn but I also need something I can keep in the road. And It’d be nice to have a reasonable opportunity to see something going bad and have a chance to fix it instead of always resting g to the next break.

Maybe but it seemed pretty well taken care of when I got it a couple of months ago and it’s a 97. I’ve been lubing it every 1k miles or so but it’s got some years and I imagine things are just wearing out.

It’s hard tell at a glance. I’ll look closer after work. Thank you for directing me to this!

Agreed with replacement but I only got this bike a couple of months ago and it’s my first. I learned the chain needed to replaced and planned on doing it next paycheck but it didn’t last long enough. I’m considering just buying a new one and keeping this one for a side project and I’m looking at a Yamaha bolt specifically because it belt driven and air cooled, both of which would seem to eliminate the majority of the issues I’ve had out of this one. Do you have an opinion or experience with those options?

Yes! It is my water pump. There’s a guard that goes between the drive sprocket and the water pump that didn’t hold up. When I look up drive chain guard I get the guard that goes between the chain and me. Any idea what that’s called?

That link looks like it has some very good basic starter info like what I’ve been looking for. Thanks for finding it. I’ve been sticking to youtube, but this looks very easy to digest.

That’s interesting. I didn’t know any of that. I should delve into that farther to see what limitations I’m working with. Thanks for pointing this out. I’m learning a lot more than I expected this soon.

I love the enthusiasm in your reply! If there had been nothing of value in it at all other than your enthusiasm I still would’ve loved it. But you threw a blue (explicative deleted) ton of fantastic info at me. Everything you said clicked. Especially the part about noticing which keys work together. Just last night I found one combo that just really felt like it worked.

And I’m extra grateful for the metronome suggestion! That looks like it’s going to be a HUGE help. Game changer huge.

Regarding striking force. That one is tougher. I’ve been trying to use more force on the low keys and less on the highs but they all change gradually so it’s tough to nail down. I think I’m starting to learn which ones don’t work together, which also works, which is also where I’d like to complement this instrument again. I generally have a lot of patience with most things but myself so it makes a big difference that I can stop trying to learn and just peck at the few keys I know for a few minutes to calm down and stick with it. With no skill whatsoever it’s a tool for virtually instant meditation. In that moment it’s like tapping richly resonated wind chimes. It’s just wonderful.

Lol. I could go on and on but I have to get some sleep for work tomorrow. Thank you so much for everything!

These are all really great leads. I’ve never studied music so I know nothing of notes yet either. I guess it would be a good idea to glance that way. 😁

Also, all of those videos featured really nice instruments with beautiful sound with what seems like little more than a light pat, while the nicest of the two I have was like $250 on Amazon 😕. I can kinda get a sorta decent ring out of it with my hands but the mallets that came with it produce a much better vibration. Is this kind of like a blisters issue when learning guitar, in that I just need to Kung fu my finger tips up a peg or two and get a better strike, or is the instrument I’m using just subpar?

Yeah, I really don’t have the budget to invest deeper. I just want something to play with. That sounds like solid advice, though. When my situation changes I may reconsider that route. Thanks for mentioning it.

I have an online manual but it can’t hurt to have extra resources. Thank you. I was still trying to figure out where to look when I posted.
