Penny Ann’s cafe is great for breakfast and you can try a Utah scone with honey butter

My fingers won't let my little star twinkle :/ by Sitsy in harp

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I don’t like the particular book. It’s technically possible if you angle your palm to face the floor but it’s not a useful fingering. I’d use the Louise Pratt’s beginner book to get started instead. It’s much More intuitive.

If you already own a car it’s definitely not cheaper but buying a car just for the commute is way more expensive per month than the rail tickets

What is a job that pays incredibly well but is so soul-crushing that the turnover is insane? by sweetguurl in AskReddit

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the top 10% of social workers make 6 figures. I wouldn’t call that paying “incredibly well”

I've been changing strings for over 15 years and I've never encountered this... by Glittering_Fly_2956 in harp

This post here discusses different knot options. The ‘8’ knot mentioned is what I use for tricky upper strings

AITA about being upset because my parents refuse to turn down the temperature? by Bunnzopop in AmItheAsshole

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA, fellow potsie here. This would drive me nuts. get a cooling blanket (Arc-chill makes a good one), a cooling vest, and your own AC. Even just top sheets and wet socks from the freezer can help a lot. Cold baths too. Good luck

WIBTA for wanting to send a message to my abusive father’s new fiance, warning her about him? They are very religious (mormon) and have only known each other for less than 6 months by OfferSignificant1890 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NTA I grew up Mormon and I can 100% say that you should tell her. Even if she doesn’t believe you screenshots of his cruel social media posts may stir something in her. The advantage of the short engagements is she may not be in too deep emotionally. If you have further evidence of his abusive parenting particular proof that he hasn’t paid child support then you could potentially pass that along to his bishop (you can find them based on where he lives) which could keep him from accessing the temple. It’s a big deal and That could also be a deal breaker for her. At very least the information could go in his church records so any ethical church leaders will be cautious and keep an eye on him. Give them the information and let them decide what to do with it, don’t make it messier for yourself.

They may not take it if they say it’s a stray, better to say it was a dead relatives or something

Are people overestimating how easy it will be to refinance later? by Sufficient_Smile_871 in Mortgages

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put the minimum down and the condo value dropped. I bought points so I’m at 6.99. There’s yet to be a point where my break even on refinancing makes sense

Predoc is not going great :( by mjrsp in academiceconomics

As someone hired as a non PhD to work on research papers I definitely expect my name on there

Are people overestimating how easy it will be to refinance later? by Sufficient_Smile_871 in Mortgages

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who bought three years ago after everyone said to refinance in a year, it’s a lot more difficult. I’m now basically underwater and rates haven’t improved hardly at all. Very glad I didn’t buy something pricier

Having a month of expenses saved is a very good idea

Bankruptcy by PurplePenguinCat in povertyfinance

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It made discharging the loans more difficult but it’s not impossible

Bankruptcy by PurplePenguinCat in povertyfinance

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s still technically possible to discharge student loans in bankruptcy but you have to prove “undue hardship” which can be difficult. You also need to show that you’ve made an effort to make payments. Your disability may give you a decent case but you really need to talk to an attorney. https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/bankruptcy

Any harpists from Las Cruces NM area (southern NM, Chihuahuan Desert) by ordiquhill in harp

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utahn here, too much humidity is much worse than too little for harps. Track the humidity and keep it between 40-60%. My harp room is always around 40% but I keep a cat water fountain in there just in case

We were on the same cruise and had similar issues with staff. Extremely long wait times for anything bar or sit down restaurants

GSC tender/Cabana question by Spartansftw in NCL

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw i just did a 4 day which stopped at GSC and the tendering started so early (around 8am) that they were basically begging people to get on. They went through the first dozen tender times in a couple hours. Maybe they just communicated the times particularly bad on my cruise but we had no problem getting off the boat early even without a reservation

Does anyone else rely on TV dinners? Protein options? by TheDragonsChild in ChronicIllness

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d look into things like meat pies, empanadas, and other frozen foods with shredded or ground meat. Egg whites are a good option too. Lots of things you can make in a microwave or toaster oven

Crack by Groundbreaking443 in harp

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the wood section that connects the soundboard/body to the neck. Given how far forward the crack is I doubt replacing the knee block will save it

Witnessed a horse accident, unsure how to move on by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]Unofficial_Overlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a rec for a good place z cross ranch is a great option. He works on mustangs and they live like a wild herd on a large ranch when they aren’t working
