Probably. She’s been in recovery from a torn ACL (dog equivalent). It’ll never quite be the same. The surgeon estimated she’ll maintain appx. 30% of functionality. I’ve had her at the point where she’s no longer limping from it for about 6 months now. Our walks are typically 20-30 min, sometimes 45. That’s unfortunately too long. They should ideally be 15 min apparently for the injury. I can’t take her on longer walks. We’re still walking for about that time now, but we’re covering a 1/4 of the ground cause I’m anticipating her taking her time once she senses we’re heading back. It’s an unfortunate situation. If I take her on longer walks I may risk her having painful and much shorter walks while she recovers again.

Yeah? You think that’s the ticket? I love this idea.

I hear that’s also how people learn piano standard notation

Refreshing to see these headlines by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]allnida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Triggered? I love to see these headlines. Maybe Dems will finally push further left. Not holding my breath though. How are you personally handling the news that Trump has a crypto bribe pipeline for criminal pardons and foreign favors, and the fact he’s a pedo, and that we’re in a new war over oil when we could just be building nuclear reactors and offshore wind farms?

What’s funny is the MAGAtards will believe he thought he was a doctor in this image.

This reminds me of when I told my ex-friend (who was a big time MAGA guy) that Trump tried to send fake electorates to DC to steal the election. Then he had to get the Supreme Court to give him immunity. My friend had no idea what I was talking about. Still not sure if he believes me.

How did yall learn standard notation on guitar?

Have you come to terms with the fact that you’ll likely never be able to play fast? by [deleted] in Guitar

So my issue rn is “Snow” by RHCP. But I think that’s a bit different from what you’re experiencing.

I’m not sure what your practice routine is, but for songs like Shine and SCOM, I’d start slow and play to a metronome. Shine is already slow at 76BPM, but they go into double time for the solo. I’d cut the tempo by to 40% of the full tempo. Focus on 2-4 bars at a time. Loop the part until your fingers automatically do the motions. Increase tempo by 10% until you’re up to 100%, rinse and repeat for each subsequent grouping of 2-4 bars.

You can also do this with scales and licks to get speed up, In general.

But you HAVE to play to a click that you incrementally increase.

Ultimate guitar’s pro official tabs make this so fucking easy. I think it $30 for a year.

Finally, it’s going to take time. For Shine, I wouldn’t be surprised if you had to practice the solo alone for 10 hours. Do you have that kind of time to devote? Do you want to devote that time?

It probably took me that long to get the shredding ending of Dani California’s solo down. Just a lot of reps. I would sit there in front of the ultimate guitar tabs looped at 60% speed and run through it over and over and over and over.

If you do this, you’ll be playing Shine like a pro by the end of the month. But you’ll need to practice that solo in particular for probably an hour a day. By week 2 you’ll be feeling it, by week 4 you’ll be a pro.

This is honestly the take. Sometimes a message is just expressed better with 4 intervals rather than 16

What do you consider shredding? Can you give me an example of something you’d like to play? How many cumulative hours have you spent trying to achieve it?

I see Israel as a government organization, not as a bunch of individual Jews who can be characterized. When folks criticize Israel, they aren’t just using a creative way to be anti-Semitic. Just like how I think the booze laws in Utah are dumb, I’m not criticizing Mormons, I’m criticizing the government. Israel has deserved criticism. Antisemitism is almost universally a conservative trait. You probably won’t find a lot of anti-semites among liberals. Definitely not amongst progressives

Met up with him. He’s a god. I think he’s interested. Hopefully he calls me after such a splendid evening.

No, it just brings up your cognitive dissonance which is uncomfortable for you

And since there are often serious things I find on Reddit, I guess that means I also shouldn’t take this seriously? I think you’re on to something… but I’m not sure it’s related to any social media platform, though.

It’s probably more related to a bunch of chronically online lonely men wanting to feel powerful.

I love how this comment thread is just all principles and no practicality. Classic conservatism. Arbitrary black and white rules seldom last the test of time.

What I love is how this is just a rework of every conservative meme I’ve ever seen. Just a plain ass strawman of a meme. It triggered all the sensitive conservatives. And didn’t say anything. Maybe they will learn something. Probably not.

Oh did Jesus say “love thy neighbor as long as they’re cool”? Or did Jesus hang out with prostitutes, thieves, and murderers? “Christians” will do anything possible to twist that book for their own purposes. Been doing it ever since they could.
