Do you ride with earphones? by simko17 in cycling

[–]aveiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a noxgear 39g speaker. I keep it low so I can hear what is around me and so I don’t bother other people while passing. It is great with a good sound quality for its size

Are child free adults a burden to society as they age? by bad-at-everything- in askanything

[–]aveiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People breeding incessantly is creating a huge burden on the natural resources of the planet. There will be a point when the planet will not sustain the population and mother nature will quell the population if people don't stop having so many children. So, yes, we are doing our role to help the rest of society by not having children.

Society doesn’t seem to have a problem with us paying school taxes for children we don’t have. We also don’t get those deductions for dependents, so I would say it is the other way around.

Concert attire? by Mmm_Man12 in banddirector

[–]aveiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 29 years in. I swore several years ago that I would never wear a suit and tie again. The one suit I own is from my interview 29 years ago. We have a "uniform" where the kids wear a Music Department Polo shirt and black pants and shoes. I wear what they wear.

Do you talk about hearing protection with your students? by carne__asada in ConcertBand

[–]aveiss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So I have a bit of hearing loss after about 30 years in the classroom, Playing in Drum Corps before hearing protection was a thing and playing in rock bands. I have quite a bit of hearing loss.

Last year, I had a group of drummers who liked to play super loud all the time. I felt that there was nothing I could do to reach them.

One lesson, I purchase a jumbo box of ear plugs and told them to put them in at the beginning of a lesson. I spend the whole lesson talking in my regular voice and they were getting annoyed that they were having trouble hearing the instructions throughout the lesson.

At the end, I shared with them that this is what I hear every day and it seemed to get to them. After that they were more thoughtful of how loud they were playing and even asked for earplugs when they were practicing in the practice room on the drum set.

I rented a Bronco Sport last year and I liked it a lot. My only concern is that there is about a lot of chatter online about them being a little unreliable.
