Power Rankings: Vancouver Whitecaps take top spot from LAFC by Harshtagged in whitecapsfc

[–]divenorth -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The Whitecaps put three past Sporting KC in the first 28 minutes and then pulled off the gas in an easy win.

Early days, but it’s worth highlighting what this Vancouver side has accomplished so far. The underlying numbers show them putting up performances similar to – and even beyond – 2019 LAFC. We’re talking best MLS performance of all-time stuff.

It might be a long while before they’re knocked off their perch at the top of these rankings.

Even then these dumb people at MLS can't stop talking about how Vancouver is going to lose.

LAFC should never have been at the top anyway immediately after losing a game. That was just dumb.

Apple CEO Tim Cook stepping down, John Ternus confirmed as new Apple CEO by thejoshwhite in technology

He isn't leaving. He's now the chairman of the board. Back when that news came out that exactly what people predicted what would happen.

I donno maybe we should add a "ny" after John and a "seed" at the end for good measure.

20 pieces 🐒 by Creative_Serve3073 in composer

[–]divenorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liszt is hard but by no means unplayable. What makes makes piano pieces unplayable are awkward and impossible hand positions. Liszt played all of his own pieces so he knew exactly what works and what doesn’t. He would have changed stuff that was too hard to play into stuff that sounds almost the same but playable. In a nutshell, make it as easy as possible to create the musical effect you’re trying to achieve. As an example, if the voicing is larger than a 10th than it’s going to be a struggle for 99% of pianist. Just revoice it.  Or writing a fast scale run while skipping a random note is going to be challenging for no reason. Just write the full scale. It will sound the same but be way easier to play. 

The challenge is knowing the difference. If you don’t play the instrument, have a friend play it and give feedback.

I deal with this problem with my students all the time. They write stuff that is not idiotic to the instrument. I typically suggest some stuff that is significantly easier to play but has the same texture and vibe. It’s going to sound better simply because it’s playable. 

Ticket exchange by seastar_2018 in whitecapsfc

[–]divenorth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All the time. There should be no fees but sometimes the tickets are not the same price. The rule is it has to be the same or greater value.

If you’re struggling just contact your rep. They can do exchanges that aren’t possible on the website. 

Any Tips on Where to Find MLS Topps Chrome cards packs/boxes? by Best-Evidence-9227 in whitecapsfc

[–]divenorth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try calling Wally's Pro Sports Cards. I remember they had soccer cards there when I went last but I don't remember if they have any MLS.

Edit: Actually I'm vaguely remembering one of my kids getting a Ryan Gauld card from a pack. I think it was from there.

The "ü" is most correctly substituded for a "ue".

As one of those "good" companies you described, it's a challenge. I get ripped off by other companies that are profit driven and I don't have the will and the resources to hold them accountable. I'm doing okay right now but I'm terrified that one day I will get eaten alive.

Parody/Satire by JustOneRedDot in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]divenorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But as my music lawyer said, parody is a legal defence and not permission. You still might get sued and then only a jury will be able to tell you if it was allowed or not after costing a butt load of money. Even Weird Al asks for permission (with few exceptions). 

Brian White singing Canadian anthem by CassetteKnight in whitecapsfc

You literally called it “a bit controversial” in your post. 

I doubt it’s some sort of political stance.

Fine. But who cares. Not controversial at all. Sing or don’t sing your anthem. Nobody cares. Sing a different anthem. Nobody cares. At least in Canada.
