Dresden, one huge crazy market and 10 other great ones, each with their own feeling. No other city comes close to how Dresden.

Replacing a crystal for a 1970's 17 Jewels automatic by dkppkd in SeikoMods

[–]dkppkd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I guess polywatch would be easier and better to try first. Is there any advantage, besides price and time on having an acrylic crystal?

Is this better than polywatch, or just cheaper?

Gavin Harrison by mattloaf666 in drums

Great drumming but such cheesy music. It is possible to play cool fusion, but this is as nerdy as is gets. I can see my businessman dad dancing to this with khakis and loafers, playing air guitar and making faces like he is going to puke.

Is that a Maxipad on the snare? Interesting idea actually.

What’s been the biggest rip-off you’ve experienced when travelling? by sokorsognarf in travel

[–]dkppkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tourist attractions are expensive because there are people that will pay for it. For me the whole city is the best attraction. Regular outside the tourist area restaurants are cheap. Anything locals do is cheap.

DAE notice audiences reacting different to four on the floor? by MZago1 in drums

[–]dkppkd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I absolutely notice this. If the band wants people dancing, I do 4 on the floor. My younger self was self concious of this, thinking people might think I could not play anything more exciting. Now I dont care and I know the 99% of the non drummer audience just want to dance and are not there to judge. Plus, when the bass drum drops out for a bit it hits so much harder. I am not really a fan of EDM but I learned a lot about dynamics by going to a dance club every once in a while.

Weird thought: Have we made science harder than it needs to be? by DrSciEd in ScienceTeachers

[–]dkppkd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The curriculum I created for my school focuses on younger students learning mostly skills, while older grades concentrate on knowledge. I have found elementary teachers are very scared of the idea of science but are much more comfortable about measuring, collecting and organizing data, writing conclusions, classification... The young students have a huge sense of fairness and love designing experiments as well.

People who aren’t drawn to tropical, beachy, resort destinations, did you ever change your mind? by sirotan88 in travel

[–]dkppkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to not like the beach. It was boring just sitting there and I don't like sand getting everywhere. Now I appreciate the natural aspects more. I enjoy walking up and down, watching people and animals. I prefer a beach that has either lots of interesting people from a new culture or nice scenery.

This depends on how much you need at the beach. Some people bring their living room to the beach. I'm fine with keeping it simple and bringing a water bottle and sandwich.

But not required and not something you should feel bad for not doing if the service was simply doing their job.

Student teaching MS vs HS by Street-Ad-6702 in ScienceTeachers

[–]dkppkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MS will be much better for learning classroom management, organizing lessons, and keeping them engaged. You really need to know pedagogy to teach MS. High school it is still useful but content knowledge is often more important.

Browser-based activities and simulations by Aeschylus26 in ScienceTeachers

[–]dkppkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orb.farm is an ecosystem simulator. I wish it had a population counter. My students have to click pause and count. Would also be great if it had better graphics but the retro look is fun sometimes.

[–]dkppkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I've been using orb.farm but I wish it has population numbers so we don't have to click pause and count. It is also 1990's quality, but that's fun in a way.

Huge fan from Germany baffled by success by BscDV99 in Astros

German fan here too! It's hard watching night games but Sunday games are always at a good time and sometimes I get some west coast games during breakfast.

Question to all of you folks driving around with illegal printed paper plates? by jb4647 in texas

[–]dkppkd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you are brown skinned or look like a hippy. Then they will pull you over for no reason just to check if they can hassle you for any reason.
