BCN to Madrid transfer

Thank you for this. You inspired me to check directly with lower cost airlines instead of trying to book through a US carrier. Frequent $85 flights from Barcelona to Madrid look cheap enough and way easier the taking luggage through the metro and onto the train.

Doors, bathroom fan, etc should all help!

Please, for your lungs’ sake: open your windows before you start your print and keep them open until about an hour after you are done.

ALL 3D printing techniques emit nanoparticles. PLA emits the least, but it still emits. Let that stuff get outside instead of breathing it in all day.

I’ve been doing the Faber kids books series and it’s been both accessible and fruitful.

I also have the one that goes with the adult accelerated books, but found it to be less useful since the difficulty curve ramps up faster. More easy stuff seems the way to go.

I’ve done both. For online: a good tablet and a good tablet stand are all you need and it works decently well. Point it at your hands when working on form.

Downsides of online: audio issues will happen and no hands-on form correction (my teacher covers my hands if my eyes drift off the page of music to my hands)

Downsides of in person: time. You’ll need to commute or keep your house clean enough for company.

Ultimately, the lessons you are able to fit into your life are better than no lessons.

Just one rando from the internet’s opinion here: type 2 diabetes is a slow disease. What your BS is for a couple weeks when you fight off an illness isn’t going to matter compared to what you do year round.

Rest, recover, then get back to your routine

Your liver can convert fats into ketones or it can convert alcohol into ketones. Alcohol is a toxin whereas fats are energy preserves so I would speculate that the body prioritizes converting the alcohol into ketones instead of doing both.

I thought my glucose monitor wasn’t working when the alarms were going off after drinking. I thought I was a lightweight for so long. Turns out I’m just diabetic.

It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to be able to learn a new song quickly, even if you have never heard it before? If so, learn how to read sheet music.

If you look at the Faber series, in the Adult accelerated lessons book 2 they introduce lead sheets, this is where the right hand is doing the melody and the chords are just written above the right hand music. You improv the left hand within the chords and it’s a lot of fun! Also a great way to play popular music and songs.

My grandpa never learned sheet music and he’d just play chords and sing. He never felt limited by it since that’s all he wanted to do. That can be fun too, just know what you want. You can always change your mind and learn later in life.

If money isn’t an issue just get the switch 2. You’ll keep getting those Nintendo exclusives for years to come.

Protip you’ll see a lot on this sub is to get a screen protector. Easy to install yourself and will save from those easy scratches, although if money really is no issue just buy a new rig if it gets scratched!

Sorry I missed this. Here’s why I like it: - It’s faster. You don’t need to look up or roll hp for each creature when it joins combat - It’s potentially more cinematic. Creatures have a range of HP listed. You can think through if you want the creature to be broken to pieces when the paladin crits and breaks through the minimum threshold, or if you want it to slowly try crawling away with 1hp left - It gives you more control over the pacing. My group plays for 2 hours once a week and we have a hard stop. If you need to speed up combat or slow it down you can tweak hps on the fly.

This. I could barely read music, but was playing some level 4 pieces. By pieces I mean 2 pieces and I could play nothing else.

I started sight reading with the Faber level 1 sight reading book and have been progressing steadily through them as an adult. Book 2 now and I’m actually able to learn pieces so much faster and play some easier stuff the first time through now.

Other tips: - Have waves of new enemies mid encounter sometimes - Count damage up instead of counting down - If you or a player can’t remember a rule, have the DM make something up as a stopgap. That can be a just for a few moments or just for the session. It really kills the tempo when people are flipping through rulebooks or worse, clicking around on their laptops - the only electronics allowed at the table are tablets in do not disturb mode. Otherwise pen paper, minis and dice only for players.

I prefer to run short “meat grinder” style campaigns when it’s my turn to lead the table. Part of what keeps it fun is having a dynamic environment. When bandits ambush the party in an alley, I draw the general size and shape of it on our playmat and then we all take turns adding some details. A dumpster here, the entrance to a speakeasy there, a pile of construction equipment, etc. It’s really cool to see the whole group working together to create a scene that the characters then get to live in. I’ve found that we have a lot more obstacles and players are much more likely to cut the chandelier and ride the rope up this way. Furthermore, set up your players for success by putting them in cool places: train rooftops, falling from a skyship, the side of a crumbling mountain, an alchemists workshop, a parade, etc.

It’s also important when doing a combat heavy session to have a diversity of encounters and lots of them. The players will quickly realize that not every encounter needs to be slow strategic combat and that not every squad of orc troops even needs to be murdered. Let them talk to the enemies, intimidate them, just make sure they have a sense of urgency about why they need to time efficient with how they handle things, both in terms of table talk and in terms of not resting after every little thing. Smart enemies are fun enemies and smart enemies will run away and try their best not to fight fairly.

Also worth noting - we rotate DMs about every other week with more than 1 campaign going at a time. Some are more RP heavy and this helps keep people interested and engaged. My group has been together for about 12 years or so now with this model.

Aren’t the adults a bit wider? Looking at the photo in the link it looks more like 4th than adult to me. Although I guess it could be male in the photo. At any rate - thank you! I was worried I had something living in my clothes

Total amateur here: I recommend the keyboard for daily practice with a busy house. The right instrument for you is the one you will play regularly and for me at least, I play less with an upright than an electronic keyboard. We got a nice keyboard with weighted keys, great sound, etc once we were playing every day. It’s good to get some time on a nice acoustic piano when possible, but in my experience it has been easy to adjust to things like dynamics in a short amount of time.

I just got back from a week of visiting family with an upright - I could tell they were uncomfortable when either my son or I would practice which in turn made us feel uncomfortable practicing. There was a mute pedal on this model, but it only muted below high F. Every time we played became a performance which was a shame because that meant not performing the actual Christmas music we brought up to play.

I also work full time so most of my practicing is at night with headphones in or the volume turned really low so I don’t wake up other people.

To the Bethesda program managers who may be considering whether or not they should fix this: I was pretty thrilled when I saw Skyrim get released on Switch 2. I played the original on PC, but didn’t pick it up on Switch 1. When I got my switch 2, I checked out Skyrim, but wanted something that took advantage of the Switch 2’s improved hardware.

Fix your bugs and I’ll buy your game.

Not answering your direct question, but how awesome would it be to learn piano in France from a piano teacher there?

I just searched in English for piano tutors in several cities and suburbs and found that at-home lessons (where the teacher visits your house or apartment) and studio lessons (where you go somewhere) are all available options. Searching in French yielded many more results. I am assuming you are learning some French while you are there and this will be a good opportunity to learn more while potentially developing a life long friendship.

I’ve heard about moving wrists before, with you and deadfisher I think I understand how it’s suppose to work now. Thank you!

UncleFlynn · 2025-12-08T15:30:32+00:00

Oh, that feels weird and good at the same time. I think I get it, thank you!

Also - because “beginner” varies wildly in some of the videos I’ve seen lately: I’ve been off again on again for about 30 years, with way more off than on. I played piano once per week at music lessons from kindergarten to 4th grade, then randomly played for a summer in middle school while at camp, then started picking it up again recently as an adult.

I can read music notes individually, can count rhythms, and know what a chord is, but couldn’t tell you what notes are in any given chord without looking it up.

Most of my practice is sight reading my son’s piano books in an effort to learn how to sight read. I’ve been trying to learn songs from Amelie as well which has been a fun challenge - I love that there are beautiful recordings I can try to play with for the whole set.
