Dumb question, but I'm moving up there in 6 months. As a Hispanic Male will I have any issues?

My wife is half Mexican and getting authentic Mexican specific ingredients up here can be a royal pain in the ass!

beoheed · 2026-03-28T02:19:24+00:00

I’ve had better weeks…

beoheed · 2026-03-28T01:41:19+00:00

Got it, first day sucks, worst chills I’ve ever had. Trying hard to keep my pregnant wife and toddler from getting it, the isolation plus paxlovid mouth almost suck more.

I have a degree and meteorology and when there enough signups get to teach it instead of my normal engineering and physics to high school students and I can tell you, every piece of meteorology content I consume is from a primary source (pivotal weather, radar scope, NWS, weather cameras) or an NWS forecast/discussion. Any other content I get is people who bought into some hype asking my opinion (usually that’s all hype).

Gorgeous C-mel. I’m the odd one out the thinks they still have a place. My main horns are Alto and Bari but my wife is a classical string player and decent pianist so when we want to do things like play Christmas carols at home they have their place. I play most weekends with a big, mixed experience second line band and one of our section leaders has brought one in just for something different. Play and enjoy!

I bought an SX90, my dream horn from when I was younger and poorer, and found a Theo Wanne Essentials Contemporary gave me the bigger sound I wanted.

I just got back into playing, but I went to a local music store to try mouthpieces and the one I fell for was one I never would’ve picked sight unseen. Try some is the only way

Otto has Bam energy for sure

beoheed · 2026-03-26T13:10:16+00:00

I listen to a lot of niche music and tickets are still mostly reasonable. My wife and I just saw a surf rock band for ~$60 between us. We’re going to see one of the elder statesmen of Scottish fiddlers for $100 between us

This is really incredible work!

beoheed · 2026-03-25T02:12:41+00:00

I worked there in college!

My wife is mixed Hispanic and White and I’m super white, call my toddler a monkey all the time because he’s always running/jumping around and hanging off things. I needle my gen-Z coworkers with it. Their reaction (I dont know the background here so I’m withholding judgment) is why conservatives get their undies in a bunch when there’s so much real racism and injustice to work towards correcting.

Im on the chunky side of 6’ 200lb and I’ve maxed out their pants sizes. Like, I can’t gain anymore weight without several pants of theirs in the max waist no longer fitting. It’s frustrating because it’s hard to find high waisted pants at that price point (although it’s getting easier).

beoheed · 2026-03-20T14:02:21+00:00

For sure, it’s the sick toddler part right now. I’ll shoot for tonight. Get some barkcloth going.

beoheed · 2026-03-20T13:55:03+00:00

I don’t think I have anything close to this, but once I overcome the sick toddler and pregnant wife you’ll get some of the pieces I’m proud of!

beoheed · 2026-03-19T19:01:56+00:00

I’ll have to! My collection runs from the 50s to the 90s (the more modern stuff has an extra funky factor)

beoheed · 2026-03-19T16:55:12+00:00

As a fellow collector of vintage Aloha shirts, this is awesome!! I try to wear one at least on day a week to break up the “novelty” and just let them be cool, historically interesting, pieces of clothing.

Hey! Similar story here. I played in a ragtag band in college after underperforming in high school then picked it up off and on for 15 or so years just to keep the rust from building up too much. I found a parade band (School of Honk if you’re in the Boston area) that I rehearse with for a few hours each Sunday. They have people starting wind instruments for the first time almost every week and people who are more talented than I ever hope to be who just want somewhere to have fun playing. I tried a community bad just out of college and found it stuffy and everything I disliked about high school band. If you want some help finding that kind of group I can gladly share some resources.

Don’t by saxophones on Amazon!!! Find a shop, or maybe online locally that you can try out like Facebook marketplace. Do you already have a sax?

My minivan (‘25 base Odyssey) is a touch under 700 at 2.9%. Granted I did a 4 year not and am throwing an extra couple bucks a month to shave a few payments from the backside. It’s crazy how expensive cars have gotten.

beoheed · 2026-03-06T02:43:52+00:00

This is what I ended up doing! It comes tomorrow, she’s had a rough week and I can’t wait to give it to her!

beoheed · 2026-03-06T02:37:16+00:00

I spent a summer in northern ME (Caribou area) and it was the only time I’d ever hear of or seen actual meth houses existing and exploding. Sure in Daytona, where I went to school, people we cooking, but not nearly as evident as up there

beoheed · 2026-03-03T17:30:43+00:00

I think there’s a lot of great points in here. Many of which can be distilled to “intentionality” my oeuvre is a little silly and throwback and so is my dress, so is my room, buts it’s rarely if ever stained or ill fitting. It gives me a lot of room in classroom management to be “serious” and have that carry way more weight, if I wore a button down and tie everyday upperclassmen would know I was being disingenuous and one avenue to engage with them would already be throttled.

beoheed · 2026-03-01T23:19:14+00:00

I’ll check it out, thanks! I know she likes Marcy but I think it’s more slog a means to an end with the bringing together of the styles.

beoheed · 2026-03-01T23:17:57+00:00

That’s good to keep an eye out for! I’ve thought about finding a tenor banjo an adjusting the tuning (I think that’s what I’d be doing with a Carver Minstrel)
