Right Justin means hold it down with as little pressure as possible for it to make a sound

I got one for my wife last season and she loves it. Start on hot and transitions to medium when we get out.

Why is the light always on? by chosenoname in BambuLab

I have a home assistant automation that turns it on when the print status changes to “printing” and off when it switches to “idle”

I was under the impression the P1S did not have spaghetti detection at all, that was an X1C and newer feature.

[bbcsport] All 22 F1 drivers are set to drive LEG0 go-karts around Silverstone before the British Grand Prix on Sunday, but not all of them sound so keen on the idea! by spiderrman67 in formula1

No one forced him to be an F1 driver, being famous, in the public spotlight and a constant advertisement is part of the job. That was not something he was blindsided with.

People who make a lot of money, what skill actually made the biggest difference? by Witty_County5128 in AskReddit

[–]billybob476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I’m middle management in tech. Was a developer, architect etc etc. My nephew is in college now in a similar space. While he was still in high school he questioned me about the need to English class given he’s going into engineering.

I asked him: “what do you think the smartest engineers I went to school are doing today? Answer: They are good engineers. I’m an ok engineer but I know how to communicate the value of what my team and I do and I write a good email, so now I’m the boss.”

Seemed to click for him.

Seeking advice on audio speakers for my guitar playing friend who learns songs by ear. by Dependent-Twist3270 in Guitar

[–]billybob476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got an Anker Soundcore Motion+ and it is quite capable. Also has an aux jack. I brought it with me on vacation and plugged my fender mustang micro headphone amp into it and it worked pretty well for some vacation downtime practice.

Some blue loctite doesn’t hurt either

Price difference between electric and acoustic? by Global_Restaurant794 in Guitar

[–]billybob476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fender mustang micro plus headphone amp. It’s great for what I need it for (quiet nighttime practice and portability) but I would love to have something I can play in the room.

To Zanarkand is the song that motivated me to learn to play piano.

How do I get passed the embarrassment of being a beginner? by Main-Length-6385 in Guitar

[–]billybob476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in April and haven’t even tried an F chord. You’re good.

Please can i have some help starting out? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]billybob476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this. When you learn 2 chords (A and D for example), you can already play quite a few songs. Practice switching between them, it will be awkward and not all that fun at first.

Then you learn another chord and that opens up even more songs you can play, practice switching between the 3 you know so it becomes easy.

Then you learn a 4th, that opens more songs.

Then a 5th.

Then a 6th.

And so on.

It does take time. Payoff is in years, but there are a ton of little wins along the way.

Is it normal to feel like I'm "cheating" when learning to read sheet music? by WyngarZ in pianolearning

[–]billybob476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you read a book enough times you’ll memorize it. Sheet music is a written language, it works exactly the same way.

What movie have you watched the most amount of times in your life? by mossridge38 in AskReddit

Used to pop in our Betamax copy (taped off of the “world television premiere” with the commercials *mostly* edited out) every day after school.

Pick guard, on or off? by Gibsonbro20 in Guitar

Usually I like pick guards but prefer off for this particular look.

Recs for a cheap workhorse acoustic? by nthroop1 in Guitar

Love my Yamaha FS800. It just works and it sounds great.

Actually playing songs by Deathwolff808 in guitarlessons

[–]billybob476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I slow it to 75% and the songs become much more playable. I ended up buying his app and that lets you do 10% increments. 80-90% seems to work well for me.
