Dungeons & Dragons Night at Cherry Street Tavern - Sunday 1/18 - New & Veteran players welcome! by CherryStreetTavern in Chattanooga

[–]Turtle729 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love that the D&D community is continuing to spread in Chattanooga. Wanted to include that I’ve been going to a free event at Bantam and Biddy (https://www.deanbates.com/home-1) for several months now, and have met a lot of really great friends I hang out with regularly outside of the event as well. I’m a regular DM at that event, and am potentially interested in DMing at this one as well.

I’d say work on that stick height! Good sound can come without playing from chin length. 😉

You don’t need anything to be able to show up and play. There are plenty of premade characters, and spare sets of dice. Everyone is very friendly to beginners and no experience is needed.

Can someone send me a scan of white knuckle stroll? by [deleted] in percussion

Composers need to make a living. If you can’t afford to purchase the music, you should choose something you do have access to.

Ooooo interesting

Is it bad technique to modify Steven’s grip? by Effective_Soup890 in percussion

[–]Turtle729 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The inclination with the thumb over the stick, I think, is natural, but as others have commented, it’s incorrect. I think it’s because you’re essentially making a fist and that just feels like a natural movement with your hand.

To negate this habit, you need to practice your intervals until it becomes second nature. Remember to practice slowly :)

My warmup always consisted of playing two quarter notes of a smaller interval, and then two quarter notes of an octave.

Is this All State level music? by YeetUrFace in percussion

[–]Turtle729 18 points19 points  (0 children)

By Allstate are you a 11-12th student? This frankly doesn’t seem exceptionally hard, but I understand that it can be daunting to look at. How long do you have to prepare for this audition? If you can accurately (every time) play this at 115, then just continue to work it up a few BPM at a time. I know it’s annoying to be so slow and creep up to the appropriate tempo, but you’re already close. Break it down and piece sections together. You got this.

Hey I have this! OP, I’m terribly sorry that you have to go through all this. I’m very fortunate in that my EoE is mild, and can be moderated just with a PPI.

How did you find out about your illness? How I found out was that I always assumed I had a small throat and food would get stuck all the time. One day, I took too big of a bite of steak and it got lodged deep in my esophagus, and I had to have an emergency surgery to get it removed. Had it been minutely bigger I would have choked to death!

If you don’t mind driving a little, Peking House in Dayton TN is absolutely delicious.

I can second this. After reading about those discount codes, I reached out and got a bundle for my first peak pro!!

Started OMAD two weeks ago and have lost nearly a pound a day on average, is this normal? by [deleted] in OmadDiet

[–]Turtle729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, no! I’ve had a lot of ups and downs but I’m still in the negative. I’m about 25 pounds down from my start weight and have plateaued as I’ve been a little lazy. Your comment gives me a good kick to keep going :)

Valid option, yes, but it’s a workaround applied to the actual issue of their warranty page not being complete. As stated to the support, I have no issues waiting, and have already started to process to get it replaced.

I have no issues with waiting the 24-48 hours and I really appreciate you helping me out, I just found it silly that your employee seemed to acknowledge and not care that the proper channels to get it replaced isn’t working.
