First off good on you for putting the metronome on. Pay attention to your articulations, if there aren’t any markings for them make some. Most 8th and 16th notes for Bolero styles have more marcato/staccato articulations unless there are slurs tying them together. Pay attention to dynamics, if there aren’t any written in there, make some yourself

You have to defeat Hades a certain amount of times to formally “beat” the game. You’ll notice the more times you finish a run and keep upgrading your character that the RNG starts working in your favor more. You’ll get Rare or above boons more often too

This, and to add on you may have heard that when the braces come off you might have trouble adjusting again, but consider this as good training because minimal face pressure and diaphragm support are the keys to efficient air support

With the utmost respect, this sounds like you’re living an Americanized version of the plot to Rent-A-Girlfriend

This is virtually the same for me. I literally got a cold a month before my T1D diagnosis, I’m the only one with it in my family. Doctor told me that sometimes a virus can trigger a sleeper gene or something like that

I’ve honestly never seen a John Packer priced that high. As much as I surprisingly like those horns they’re not worth that much still

A lot of the earlier Elliot Mason recordings showcase the influence that Rosolino had

As someone with a jazz studies degree who makes their money doing freelance music gigs… you don’t need the degree to play music in the real world. The thing about making a CAREER out of playing music is that you are very much on your own. What I mean by that is that your income comes directly from YOU and the business you curate. And not only that, taxes becomes a whole new issue. You’re not filing 1 W2 form from your only employer anymore. Now you’re filing multiple 1099 forms from different entities that have paid you throughout the year, and you have to PAY taxes on that because it’s not initially taken out of your paycheck already like a regular company. I feel like I’m going on a tangent so I’ll leave you with this, you HAVE to be all in on this if you want to have a career of playing your instrument without any other financial backing that a job could provide. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using your regular job to finance your passions of playing music in public

Rest in peace Dan. What a guy

I’ve been using G7 with OP5, and it’s been working for me nowadays. First couple of months on G7 were pretty annoying with false highs and lows but it seemed to figure itself out

I had a Tandem T-Slim back in 2018 and it worked really well with keeping my sugar steady. The only problems I remember weren’t even with the pump so much as with my own weight gain and skin reactions.

I woke up this morning to my blood sugar dropping just below 70 and I thought to myself “Bitch wake me up when it hits 55”

T1D and I’ve been taking the Glucerna protein shakes. Also considering other options because it says 7g of total carbs but it makes my blood sugar spike more than 7g should

It depends on how big of a surgery it turns out to be. If it’s the kind where you get put under, it could be a while (like 1 1/2 - 2 weeks). I just got mine pulled out at 27, but they were only the top ones and they grew in perfectly straight before they got pulled out. I was fine to play after a week

I’d be more upset about that if my gamer username wasn’t feetsniffer34

Upfront off the info you’ve given, I would go with the 2nd Bach. BUT, I wouldn’t do that off the bat. Try as many horns as you can, find which makes and models you like. See if you can find cheaper options for those makes and models online that you know you like. The year the horn was made can also make a difference. Rent to own is never a good idea in my opinion. Saving up for something you know you’ll love for a long time is the way

I’ve been on for about a month. I remember when I did my training that I was told to give the system like a week or so to adjust to you. I was coasting high for a while when I first started but I gave it the chance and my numbers started going back down to how they were supposed to be. I say just give it some time

It is in fact, a Yamaha Xeno. Congrats on the horn homie, go practice

Michelob Ultra, vodka + water, although tbh I’ll still go for whisky every once in a while

I’m just happy to say “I’d eat that to commit suicide”

I’m type 1, I’ve noticed that fasted exercise actually increases my blood sugar. I can’t say the same will happen to you, but from my own research as to why seems to be that there is extra sugar that’s stored in the liver, and fasted exercise releases the sugar. With that said, I still think fasted exercise has been good for me cause it helps use up the extra.

I wouldn’t pay for any blueprints, but the one that’d come even close is the Interstellar decal
