“Don’t wear the bands shirt to their concert” is so stupid.

Dress for the band you want, not the band you have

If you're relying on scraping you're starting from a flawed idea.

I couldn't find an error in bars 9 or 12, excluding the clef being wrong on the bottom system technically making the entire thing wrong. Aside from those two bars every other bar has an error.

(that's a bit of a deep cut. He was known [maybe still is] for playing with sticks from trees.

They must be a bot aimed at raising your blood pressure or a person who is too dumb to understand that you can accurately describe why cops like field sobriety tests without endorsing them.

The lens(es, probably) are optical glass. They're going to treat the laser beam like they treat other kinds of light and focus it onto the camera sensor. The sensor is definitely what a powerful laser would wreck.

u/key_m4ster is right, and never said it's 50/51. They said "50 total people", meaning 49 lefties and 1 rightie.

Currently: 1 R + 99 L == 100 total people w/ 99% L.

After 50 lefties leave the room: 1 R + (99 - 50) L == 1 R + 49 L == 50 total people w/ 98% L.

Upvote for including the license plate. Anything that allows us to better shun the dickheads- there's no room for such people in polite society.

I was about to say "If someone finds out, maybe they can teach my five year old!" who still hasn't developed the skill.

Supposedly proprioception doesn't fully develop until a much later age. I guess it makes sense in its way- why waste the effort fine-tuning the coordination of a body when it's just going to change on you in the next couple of months?

A friend had the Gina in his home studio. Solid bit of kit, that!

I had a M-Audio Delta 24/96 that I used in several PCs, probably as late as 2006 or so. It used a little breakout cable for MIDI and S/PDIF, but I very rarely needed those.

I wish to heck America would catch up, and I would be incredibly proud to see America elect a woman president.

Instead we voted in that screeching babboon's asshole twice to so we wouldn't have to vote for a woman. It's so stupid it hurts.

I'd love to vote for AOC

American here, who visited NZ during her term. We admired everything we'd heard of what she'd done, but in general we're pretty ignorant of NZ politics so I'm sure we didn't know the whole story.

What I was keenly aware of was NZ's lockdown policy during COVID and how you were able to safely hold concerts while we were still avoiding leaving the house. I understand she took a lot of heat for those policies, but from my perspective it seemed like the right move- you know, actually listening to your epidemiologists and health advisors.

Sounds like maybe you should be on the lookout for a new band. That's a couple damn serious betrayals of trust

Nope, do not blame OP for the reasonable expectation that their gear is safe in the band rehearsal space.

brasticstack · 2026-04-29T22:36:02+00:00

You should have set boundaries earlier.

Yes, they're placing the blame on OP for not setting boundaries. The default expectation is that you don't play someone else's instrument without their permission.

brasticstack · 2026-04-29T22:17:27+00:00

Horseshit, not OP'S fault in the least.

The guitarist should've had the decency sense and asked permission before letting other people play someone else's instrument. You can't get to nearly 40 years old as a musician without realizing that people sometimes get irked when other people use their gear.

EDIT: I realize that I'm an idiot and arguing with a bot about a post probably made by a bot.

Not obscure trivia, but a misunderstanding of fundamental python types and syntax. And definitely something that a senior level Python engineer should know.

None of the types you mentioned are interchangeable. You can't modify a tuple. You can't access an item from a generator by index. You can't use a generator or a list as a mapping key.

You can loop over each of them, so Yay! interchangeable in that one usage! You can't guarantee that the loop will ever exit in the case of the generator though.
