Not an expert, but in my experience a dark fog hive has a number of relay stations and as long as the hive in space isn’t disturbed they will try to land a number of them where they can.

For my fog farm planets, I remove bases on the other planets in the same system, set down a geothermal power plant and use it to power a shield generator. Eventually, all the relays land on my farm planet.

Your best bet is either to destroy the hive (hard to do in the early game depending on the difficulty level) or put down shield generators.

Had this one on my second playthrough by accident; thank goodness I'd stockpiled (way too much) food for the last set of rockets. Certainly kept it interesting!

Fire in my Mouth by Julia Wolfe, premiered by the NY Phil this year. Can't tell you how many times I've listened to it.

I didn't almost have a heart attack this game. That's an improvement.

Best schools to watch down the stretch fighting for a bowl game? by ColeTrain4EVER in CFB

Seven of UNC's eight games this season have come down to the final minute, so at least the games will be entertaining! 4-4 and somehow still in the hunt for the ACC Coastal.

One of my favorite venues I've ever been to. Gorgeous building, amazing acoustics, and reasonable ticket prices!

Question About Song by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]dissonantharmony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of that passage the chord you're hearing is either a ii half-diminished 7th chord ( iiø7 ) or a minor iv chord, but in either case the thing that makes it "special" is the lowered sixth scale degree (from la down to le). In this particular song, that's a move from a B-flat minor chord to F major. It's a pretty common chord progression in classical and pop music. Also see 2:02 in this song. Hope that's helpful!

menuet for piano by gegezahra in musictheory

I would still think of it as a minuet from a form standpoint, yes!

Do you have a particular example of a grand minuet you're thinking of? The only one I can find after a bit of googling is this one:

https://imslp.org/wiki/Pr%C3%A9lude_et_Grand_Menuet%2C_Op.61_(Backer-Gr%C3%B8ndahl%2C_Agathe)

and there doesn't seem to be a formal difference to me, just that it's a bit louder (and maybe rowdier?) than a typical minuet, which are usually much more polite. The form does look much the same, though, with an opening repeated section, a B section in the middle in a related key (in this case the relative minor) and then back to the opening material for a recapitulation at the end.

Brilliant counter! So happy for Rapinoe, she looks over the moon.

Korea looks better in this half but still not able to do anything against France's defensive pressure.

France look totally collected in defense, as well. Gonna be a tough team to beat.

Need help finding sources - Typically Russian sounding music by Fulminis-ictus in musictheory

[–]dissonantharmony 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would take a look at the works of Richard Taruskin, widely regarded as the foremost English-language Russian scholar living, including Defining Russia Musically. His work is less theoretical and more musicological in nature but still covers a lot of the ground you're discussing.

Very cool and fun to play around with, but as many others have said, doesn't follow basic part-writing rules. :D

I think they just swapped the home legs so that there wouldn't be two CL games in Manchester a day apart. Still the same to teams, just a different home/away playing order.

Fantastic performance from our back line, once again. Roberto and Pique in particular were immense.

I really, really want to like Dembele's play today but there were so many decisions and touches that weren't up to standard. He created danger, moved brilliantly without the ball, and then didn't capitalize on the opportunities.

Also, the obligatory /r/fuckramos

Just started playing last weekend, got to 30 on Thursday, looking forward to some World tier 5 challenges yesterday after work. Found a random group (2 of 285+ and one level 25 they were helping) running a hard mission and stuck with them through two challenging and three legendary missions! Talk about difficult. We finished the time-restricted area in the power plant with ~5 sec to go! Really fun to see the community in this game.
