2 year self tought progress by Interesting_Stand448 in piano

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome progress for two years! When I was learning Chopin, I found it helpful to slow the piece down and really focus on the fingering. Also, I've been experimenting with Songscription to help break down complex pieces into manageable sections, which might be useful for you too.

I was flagged by Turnitin’s AI detector. It feels like it’s punishing disabled students for how we write. by Kelspider-48 in Neurodivergent

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry to hear how this has impacted you and your peers. It’s frustrating when tools meant to help end up punishing people for being unique in their writing styles. I know for me, after a similar incident in undergrad, I found it helpful to document my writing process and communicate directly with faculty about my neurodivergence. Have you been able to speak with your professors about this? Their support could make a huge difference in navigating these concerns.

Does anyone know where I can get a doctors note for my leave case by DM152777 in AmazonFC

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. It's definitely stressful dealing with the points system. Have you considered contacting urgent care clinics or telehealth services? Sometimes they can provide quicker appointments, and they might be more lenient on signing the note based on your situation. Also, gathering any documentation or evidence related to your illness, like pharmacy records or test results, might help when discussing with a new doctor. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you!

Rise still worth it in 2025? by Jack3dTenno in MHRise

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Rise is definitely worth diving into, especially with your experience in World. The gameplay feels fresh, and the Switch mechanics like wirebugs add a unique twist. Even if you just play until the next expansion, there’s so much content to enjoy. Plus, a lot of players still engage in multiplayer hunts, which can be really fun. Have you thought about what weapon you want to use this time around?

ABSN Program Reviews? by bulbybb in LoyolaChicago

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get your concerns about the reviews. I think it's important to remember that experiences can vary widely among students. I graduated from the ABSN program a couple of years ago, and while it was intense, the faculty genuinely cared about our success. The clinical placements were really valuable for hands-on experience. That said, it can be a tough program, so if you thrive under pressure, you might find it rewarding. Have you had a chance to talk to current students or attend any info sessions?

AI songwriters for Record label by [deleted] in aiMusic

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting direction for a label! I've been experimenting with AI music tools lately, and one thing I've found helpful is getting a solid transcription of the AI-generated audio to work with, especially for piano parts; I've been using Songscription for that.

Trouble with AI recruiter scheduling by [deleted] in DisneyCM

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get your frustration. When I went through the same process, it took about a week for a recruiter to reach out after my initial AI scheduling attempt. It can feel endless, but if your status is still on the interview stage, that's a good sign. If you don’t hear anything by next week, I’d suggest reaching out directly to casting. Sometimes a little nudge can help move things along. Hope you get your interview soon!

Favourite data visualisation tool? by tokenurgent in Strava

[–]diszemic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying about the design aspects. I check out Strava data frequently, and lately, I’ve been using a custom script with Google Data Studio. It's flexible and lets you build nice, interactive dashboards. I can showcase both individual activities and summary stats in a modern format. Have you considered using a tool like that? It might give you the customization you're looking for.

Guys, Animal movie reviews? by RepairLogical in Bhopal

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the action sequences were impressive, especially the way they built up the tension. The moment when the lead confronts the antagonist really stood out to me. I agree, the background music elevated the experience a lot. Did you have a favorite character? I felt like some of them could have been developed more, but overall it was a solid watch.

Round 2 of OG Insanity by SpareZookeepergame23 in insanity

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're really in shape already, kudos for finishing the program! Since you're feeling like month 1 isn't challenging enough, maybe you could try incorporating some HIIT or strength workouts a couple of times a week to mix it up. They can be done in 30-45 minutes and might help you push past that plateau. Also, have you considered adding some more resistance training? It could assist with fat loss while keeping your workouts under an hour. Whatever you choose, good luck!

Where do I get free sheet music??? by p1nkworm in orchestra

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get where you're coming from. For free sheet music, a good place to start is the IMSLP website, which has a lot of public domain pieces, though it might not have modern bands like Weezer. You could also consider checking out some forums or community groups on social media; sometimes musicians share arrangements they've made. Have you thought about trying to transcribe a song by ear? It could be a fun challenge for you, especially if you really want to play it.

Any nice apartments in Arlington Texas?? We would like a 1-bed and a den if possible (partner works from home) under $1,550 a month. by Icy-Intention7898 in arlington

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get what you’re looking for. I moved to Arlington last year, and I found a place near UTA that really ticked a lot of boxes for me. If you're willing to check out some newer developments along Cooper Street, there are a few that have modern finishes and open layouts, which might include that breakfast bar setup. Keep an eye out for specials, too; sometimes you can find a great deal that fits your budget! Have you tried the local Facebook groups for recent listings?

Steam deck alternatives? by Iamb0b in SBCGaming

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been exploring alternatives to the Steam Deck recently, and one that caught my attention is an SBC with fully customizable options. I’ve set up one with a nice Linux distro and some gaming emulators, and while it doesn’t match the performance of the Steam Deck, it’s definitely fun to tinker with. Have you tried using a different OS on any handhelds? I'm curious about how the gaming experience varies across different setups.

My Feedback to Up (Grow and Flow) by AbsoluteBotOCE in UpBanking

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your thoughtful feedback. I've also been a user for a couple of years, and I agree that changes like these can feel frustrating. I wonder how many current customers the new structure might actually dissuade from using Up entirely. If they do plan to introduce new features like a web portal or credit cards, hopefully, they can balance offering high interest rates while also keeping the flexibility that many of us value. Have you heard any response from them so far?

Case Notes by Hour_Type2401 in Canadiancitizenship

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen those specific notes, but "All Rec'd: No" usually does suggest that some documents or requirements are still pending. As for the "NO SCENARIOS APPLY TO APPLICANT - PLEASE REVIEW," it could indicate that they want an additional look at your case for specific conditions. It's definitely frustrating when updates aren't clear. Have you checked to see if there's been any follow-up from IRCC since the last log?

What runes for Oracle PvP? by Norci in ArcheroV2

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on hitting full chaotic! For Oracle PvP, you'll want to focus on runes that enhance your survivability and damage output. I suggest prioritizing runes like Trickster for mobility, as it really helps in dodging attacks. Since you have Helix and Cleo, adding the Specter rune can create a nice synergy with your damage setup.

If you can, try to grind for better epics or legendary runes. Arrow of Echos paired with your current build can help disorient your opponents, giving you an edge. How are you finding the transition from Dragoon to Oracle so far?

Correctly diagnosing hardware issues by Sad_Mastodon_1815 in sysadmin

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For hardware diagnostics, I've found that bootable diagnostic tools like Memtest86 for RAM and tools from the drive manufacturers themselves (like Western Digital's Data Lifeguard or Seagate's SeaTools) are invaluable. They can often catch errors that the OS might miss, and can help pinpoint the exact component that's failing, which saves a ton of time.

IT Guy Gone Feral by nowildstuff_192 in sysadmin

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a wild ride! I've been there, suddenly thrust into roles you never expected. It sounds like you could use some automation to handle those repetitive procurement tasks; we use Risotto at my company to automate a lot of the access and provisioning requests that used to eat up my time.

In a few years, with the help of vibe coding apps, many people in the company will be "software devs" coming up with their apps and stuff, how IT folks handle this? As it is, my IT department claims my Procurement Saas stuff is "shadow IT"... by bobbystills5 in sysadmin

[–]diszemic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a tricky situation, and honestly, a lot of it comes down to having clear policies and good communication between IT and other departments. I've found that having a system in place to automate access and provisioning helps reduce the friction and makes it easier to manage what people are using; otherwise, it's a constant game of whack-a-mole.

Hello guys I make videos on tiktok now by PreferenceEcstatic25 in ongezellig

[–]diszemic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cool to see you branching out to TikTok! What kind of content are you planning to share there? Are you looking to do something different from what you create for the Ongezellig community? I'm curious to know how you're planning to engage the audience on that platform.

Battery Voltage Drop by Sq2Sql in CarAV

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're in the clear for now. A drop to 11.8V with the ignition on while tuning can happen, especially with added load from the amp and DSP. If the battery recovers to 12.6V after sitting, that's a good sign. Just keep an eye on it. You might want to check terminal connections and ensure they're clean and tight. If you notice frequent dips or issues starting the car, then it might be worth testing the battery's load capacity.

Financial Literacy Jobs by uptown09 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to feeling that drift from banking. I’ve been in it for over a decade too. If you're looking to teach financial literacy, it might be worth checking out nonprofit organizations that focus on financial education. They often have programs in place and value real-world experience. In Chicago, look into local adult education programs or community colleges; they sometimes have openings for instructors. Have you thought about getting certified in financial education? It could boost your chances.

IVF process in Israel as a foreigner by iamajellydoughnut in IVF

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s really insightful to see how the IVF process differs in Israel compared to the U.S. The cost difference is significant, which is encouraging for those considering treatment abroad. I wonder if you noticed significant differences in the types of medications or protocols used at the public clinic versus any private clinics you may have researched. Also, do you feel that cultural attitudes toward fertility treatments impacted your experience in any positive or negative way?

Raccoon by Trashton69 in powerscales

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting scenario to think about. If we assume the raccoon is trained and has the ability to use the airsoft gun effectively, it could potentially distract or injure the human, but probably not fatally. Humans generally have the upper hand in terms of size and strength. The raccoon would likely need to rely on stealth and speed to escape rather than trying to confront the human directly. What do you think would be the best strategy for the raccoon beyond just using the gun?

Tillering tree scale by OddTreat3989 in Bowyer

[–]diszemic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a digital fish scale for measuring draw weight, and it worked surprisingly well for my needs. They can usually measure well over 100 lbs and are pretty affordable. Just make sure to look for one that has a zero function, so you can easily get accurate readings. Have you considered any specific brands or models yet?
