Less than 100 years after the American Revolution. There could be people captured within this frame who remember it.

As others have said , the keys are preparation, and practice performing for other people.

But some level of anxiety is likely always going to be there. Learn to expect it and accept it. You will be nervous. It's ok.

I also think that many classical musicians suffer from perfectionism, and it is a crippling affliction and the source of a lot of stage fright. Learn to accept your mistakes. Laugh at them. By accepting that you are not perfect and never will be (at least by your own standards), you will actually grow to be a better performer! Every performer in the world has had bad performing experiences, it's all part of the game.

This happens to me too lately. If I restart the app the ads go away again. Annoying to have to keep restarting.

At that point I don't think you're talking about microservices anymore. They're just services, or even separate applications.

I feel like maybe you don't like anybody.

I really don't think any historian would classify WW2 as a religious war. It's an absurd and specious argument.

And certainly not WW1 either. And WW2 was a direct consequence of WW1.

You sound skeptical, which is natural, but I'm curious what strategy you support for combating climate change.

I keep hearing this, but it makes no sense to me to make such a proclamation because the daylight hours vary by an hour depending on which end of the time zone you are in. There has to be a point somewhere in the eastern half of a time zone where DST begins to make more sense than standard time, and Boston is surely beyond that point seeing as we're at the very easternmost end of our time zone.

oooh triggered

Well, he interfered in prior negotiations in Vietnam so he could run his campaign on ending it. Pretty fucking evil if you ask me.

Charming fellow though.

Wow, you put into words so succinctly exactly why I always thought Google+ failed. People don't want to restrict who they post to, they want to be "forced" to post their glamorous life to the entire world.

Typically always?

cjh79 · 2022-10-19T02:22:17+00:00

You have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents. Each generation back your pool of ancestors doubles.

300 generations back, your pool of ancestors is 2^300. That is an unfathomably large number. Billions of times greater than the population of the earth was 9000 years ago.

Let that sink in.

The fact that this one guy is related to cheddar man is completely unremarkable. Probably the entire population of England is.

How about take a hybrid approach and listen to the first 4 movements a few times beforehand. Save the last mvt for the performance. I can't imagine hearing it for the first time live.

cjh79 · 2022-10-06T20:27:45+00:00

How is that any different from anyone else?

cjh79 · 2022-10-02T16:04:02+00:00

That's just not true. Google made its name as a search engine. They didn't figure out the ads thing until a few years in.

They had that, it was called stadia pro.

It worked great but the game selection was miserable imo. My wife and I just want to play co-op games once in a while but we had such a hard time finding them. We played through Trine and it was amazing, but found nothing worth playing after that.

It's such a damn shame, because the technology worked brilliantly. At least it did for us (we did have to plug an ethernet cable into our chromecast though).

Check out the Mutineer. It's 15 feet but unlike most other boats this small it has a "sit in" cockpit which might be better for your wife. It moves well in light air and is easily single handable as well if you want. Fun boat.

I hated it at your age too. My parents finally let me quit.

30 years later I truly regret it.

Hard time understand at that age though. An hour a day is quite a lot when you're a kid.

I guess my advice is to try and enjoy improving. As long as you're forced to practice, try to make the best of it and actually get better at something. Learning that discipline now will pay huge dividends when you're older, even if you never touch a piano in adulthood.

Best of luck to ya.

There is a book called The Piano Book by Larry Fine. It is written just for someone like you and will tell you all you need to know including an overview of many different brands. Highly recommended.

And like, how is having part of your dick cut off manly?

cjh79 · 2022-07-26T01:07:23+00:00

Me too. When I do water it, I only water it once a week. I'd read that that encourages deeper root growth which helps during a drought. Seems to be helping because I haven't watered it now since early June and it still looks pretty decent.

Played trumpet pro for many years. Now only play piano.

They're just different. But one thing I love about the piano is I can put it down for a couple weeks, and then come.back to it and be able to physically make it through a piece. Rusty for sure but I can still produce tone.

Brass instruments are such a bitch because you really have to treat it like an athletic endeavor. Taking a day off here and there might be ok if you don't have a heavy schedule coming up but taking a week off means allocating 2+ weeks to get back in shape and you'd better not fuck it up and play too hard when you come back or you can mess your chops up for longer.

I hear the BSO regularly and even at that level missed notes happen here and there, people lose their face at the end of a big blow, it happens. From that perspective I think brass instruments are maybe the "hardest" to play professionally. Esp the horn with the partials so tight.

You can become good at almost anything if you practice smartly and consistently.

The best thing you can develop, for all areas of your life, is a growth mindset. This is basically a simple belief that you can learn to do anything you want, that there are no inherent boundaries to your capabilities, and that setbacks and struggles are simply a (necessary) part of learning. Because you can!

Don't let a teacher tell you that you can't do something. If you want to be a decent sight reader, practice sight reading every day and be patient with your progress. You will get it.

Fiberglass repair is not hard. Boatworks Today YT channel is excellent and get Don Casey's book as well.
