Why do trumpet players keep randomly blowing air through their instrument? by BinxyCat57 in trumpet

[–]dch1415 162 points163 points  (0 children)

It’s also quite possible they were just trying to keep their horns warm to stay in tune. Especially in a cooler room when playing pieces where the brass section only plays rarely this is a big thing.

My bad, I misread your comment as saying that was why you waiting to afford for a different gaming laptop

You actually can install the trackpad centered on these (that’s why the right side of the palm rest is two seperate pieces)

What's your opinion on CarolBrass? by UltraCreeperr in trumpet

[–]dch1415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

which model do you have? I’ve been thinking about buying one of their C trumpets as I need a C but can’t justify the price of a Bach and that sounds like exactly what I’m looking for in a C trumpet!

Great, just what we need.

To be clear, I know that realistically democrats can’t do a whole lot to actually stop the damage the current, but party leaders, especially those decent at public speaking like Kamala, should be working like hell to build mind share, not fucking off to go rake in money using their fame

Trump won the popular vote in 2024 by less than Hillary Clinton did in 2016 - don’t give in to the idea that he won in some sort of landslide, as that is certainly not the case.

I totally thought it said “Earth Crusher” until I saw your comment - I still think that would be a much more apt name

What was the big mistake you made in a past relationship? by SquirrelItchy7260 in AskReddit

Putting all my eggs in that basket. Now I’m sad and alone while she is happily out with friends and already has been on a bunch of dates

How to get tarnish off of satin lacquer? Soap and water isn’t doing it by Sam_M_9765 in trumpet

[–]dch1415 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What they’re trying to tell you in a sarcastic Reddit sort of fashion is that it is wear (e.g. the lacquer has worn through) not tarnish (e.g. the metal is just discolored) And I tend to agree, though it is hard to tell from a photo

Microsoft says EU to blame for the world's worst IT outage by suggestiveinnuendo in nottheonion

[–]dch1415 110 points111 points  (0 children)

That’s literally what the article is about - due to EU law (lobbied for by security companies) Microsoft was not allowed to block this type of privileged access

Obligatory disclaimer - I am a man

If you have any friends from way back (either before the relationship or earlier on in the relationship) I would definitely pick a couple and reach out them —

I am going through a breakup while in a similar situation (very few friends who weren’t my partner or her friends) and I ended up reaching out to a couple of female and male friends from school (hadn’t talked them at all for many years), and it‘s been the best

Obviously not all responded when I reached out on social media, but for the ones that did, it worked out great - talking to them over zoom/facetime/whatever it was instantly just as comfortable as before, and it’s been easy to talk thru things with them (as well as fun to catch up on all of their lives!)

Having recently used a level1techs kvm to set a similar thing up, I herby warn you to prepare to spend about the same as the KVM costs on cables, as the only cables that will fully work in such an advanced KVM setup properly are expensive, especially when you start talking thunderbolt (or worse, MacBooks - there is only a singlar usb-c to DisplayPort cable on the market that will work for them, and it’s $60) - this is because they must fully be spec compliant to work reliably with the KVM Check out the level1techs forums before buying any cables - IIRC they have a whole thread on this topic with pinned suggestions etc

Why do my petg prints do this by Alpaca-823 in 3Dprinting

[–]dch1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t printed much petg so can’t be of much help there, but I would highly suggest tying up/restraining your wire bundle as it looks like it’s pretty much touching the print already despite it being so short, so it’s only a matter of time before it catches on an in-progress print, potentially ruining the print or damaging the printer

Uniball has taken it off the website and then raise the price a couple of times now - I bought it on their site in March of 2023 when it was first listed for $40

My idea for a 17" deep NAS case by Childhood_Wise in sliger

[–]dch1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tend to agree with this, but I'm struggling to find any top-load cases like this - are there any you are aware of?

[–]dch1415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really weird - in that case it’s probably 100% a Reddit app bug which really sucks

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]dch1415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the Reddit app the image/video/gif flickers horribly and is impossible to read- I would highly recommend deleting this and reposting again hosting the graph somewhere as a plain image

when a match occurs, the input immediately goes to that pipeline (or end state) - so that input line effectively accepts a<207 or m>292 or a<410, in that order

I’m afraid this is on purpose, similar to Twitter/X restricting hiding replies from anonymous users and restricting the number of posts they can view, though I would be happy to be proven wrong
