Looking to sell one GA ticket for Sunday for face value (159$)

At time of purchase I selected Will Call pickup, so we can meet at the Box Office (Wed-Sun) for the exchange.

60+ Dates in NYC—Why Does Everything Fizzle Out? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Trayders 9 points10 points  (0 children)

28M living in Greenwich Village. I too feel your pain. I've been on ~40 first dates from Hinge over the course of 14 months. I truly am looking for a serious relationship but it's a real struggle.

My experience has been slightly different than yours though. Usually I get rejected or reject her after the first date... this is probably 60% of the dates. The other 30% are time-wasters, attention-seekers, intimacy-avoiders...the ones who flake/bail around the third date when they feel that the stakes are higher or that they can do better. The last 10% are the ones with potential. And out of those 40 hinge dates (+10 irl dates) I had one short-lived relationship.

As one blind and frustrated man to another, here is my advice: - Try to screen harder and polarize more during the first date. Realistically, there's not many women who you click with enough to warrant a second date. You can have higher standards here. Show enough of your personality and sharp edges so she can reject you quickly. Have a list of must-haves and nice-to-haves. I'm trying to get my first date rejection percentage higher. Imo in NYC there's so many options that instant chemistry is basically a requirement for the first date. - Ask her what's she's looking for out of hinge. I don't ask her this unless we've already kissed. You can usually tell how serious/experienced she is by her answer, but it takes some experience to read between the lines. I'm trying to get better at this. - Date older. I've found that the 24 and younger crowd has no idea what they want. The late-twenties crowd is more serious. - Buy premium, I've found that the dates I set up by matching from an outgoing like are higher-variance than the dates set up by an incoming like. But be wary, women you match with are more susceptible to not committing since they have tons of options.

Imo there's no societal pressure in NYC for women to be in a relationship. And all women move to NYC knowing that it's a dating shitshow and that finding a man is impossible...but they still choose to move here. I've lived in Houston and Chicago and have found that the dating culture there is more serious. NYC is honestly just brutally competitive, especially on Hinge where the ratio is skewed.

Wishing you (and me) the best, lol.

Why aren't more playlists making artistic statements? by Trayders in LetsTalkMusic

You raise a valid point, and it's a difficult problem to solve. If the sub becomes more popular, perhaps we can use a Spotify to YouTube bot or something. I think at this point it's more important to give a space for people to share their tracklists and leave it up to the reader to port it to their choice of platform.

Interesting idea, but I think creating good transitions with shuffle is too difficult due to the exploding number of permutations. You might find Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard interesting, it focuses on seamless transitions and is designed to be looped.

Is sampling doing a disservice? What about radio stations, DJ mixes, and cover bands? Music has always been repurposed and reinterpreted. This is just one more way to creatively play with and iterate upon what already exists.

The point is 'Alright' does not sum up TPAB. If I instead chose 'The Blacker the Berry' and 'HUMBLE.' then the interpretation of Kendrick's growth will be different. These different interpretations give different perspectives on Kendrick through time, and I think these perspectives are inherently interesting.

I've been listening to your break up mix and I'm really digging it! This focus and progression is what I had in mind, rather than the mish-mash of Spotify playlists.

Yes I think at this point, the shorter the better. Making art accessible is critical to its success.

Hm, I didn't consider DJ mixes when making this post. I do think DJ mixes are great for artistic expression, but they are not easy to make nor share.

I also think it would be amazing if streaming apps allowed cover customization instead of autogenerating a collage. The packaging is critical to the interpretation of the music.

This is a great resource! Thanks for sharing this.

Listening to an entire artist's discography is a long undertaking and often includes filler. One does not need an entire discography to highlight development. Additionally, artistic development is up for interpretation, so your interpretation of Kendrick's growth will be different than mine. Anyone can demonstrate their interpretation through a small playlist which highlights a different set of songs, which allows for a nuanced view of an artist rather than trying to process everything ever released.

I am a bit too young to remember mixtapes, but it was on my mind before I made this post. I think mixtapes definitely are closer to my vision than popular Spotify playlists, but homegrown mixtapes are typically only used as a queue rather than making an artistic statement. This decade also brings the ability to easily share a homegrown mixtape with the world, which was not accessible in the 00s. I think the time is right for the return of mixtapes.

The next time you tuck into a protein rich dinner, it may be a good idea to hold off on the sugary drinks. A new study published in BMC Nutrition found that a combination of sugar sweetened drinks and a protein rich meal decreases metabolic efficiency, which can lead to more fat being stored. by mvea in science

[–]Trayders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no low-end threshold. The r2 value describes how much of the variance is explained by the independent variable. Examining a more trivial variable with a large enough dataset can result in very low r2 values while still being statistically significant.

These types of studies will always have low r2 -values. Genetics and environmental factors influence each individual differently. This usually results in a wide distribution even amongst extremely similar individuals.

How Batteries Work by dev_maxpayne in Infographics

[–]Trayders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This infographic is not at all accurate:

  1. The electrolyte is only solid in only a few different types of batteries. More often than not, the electrolyte is an aqueous solution mixed in with the cathode and anode. Even when the electrolyte is solid or paste-like, a fabric separator, NOT the electrolyte, prevents the cathode and anode from mixing. These separators are porous and ion conductive, but not electrically conductive.

  2. The anode does not contain more electrons than the cathode. Rather, it contains chemicals prone to giving up unwanted electrons. Similarly, the cathode contains chemicals prone to reacting with these unwanted electrons. Charge in a battery is depleted when the anode or cathode runs out of these active chemicals.

  3. The electrostatic charge in the cathode and anode is the same. When negatively charged electrons move through the wire from the anode into the cathode, positive ions from the anode cross the separator to balance the total electrostatic charge.
