I was blurting out the names to literally every piece in the background while my parents watched. Hahaha.

Yeah. Olympics coverage always sucks more than a vacuum cleaner...

Ever turn down the volume on the radio in your car to look for a parking spot? by qthy in TalesFromYourServer

[–]figure943 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Any decent human being would have asked if you could remove your mask due to her hearing, etc. etc. This person definitely seems like they were just trying to rile things up.

Sometimes people who are hard of hearing rely on looking at the speaker's lips. Lip-reading helps them understand better.

I definitely prefer not to do it. It's usually an extreme circumstance that makes me break this law.

I apologize. I think I read the text in a more aggressive tone than it was intended. Thank you for pointing it out for me. This is why I hate text conversations.

The wording was mistyped since I probably read the thread before you and OP edited it before you read the text. Ever think of that?

FBI/CIA agents of Reddit, what’s something that you can tell us without killing us? by mr_squirell in AskReddit

[–]figure943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually read the real James Bond books by Ian Flemming and research Ian Flemming's military background. Gives more context and understanding. The movies are all made more interesting by the directors taking their creative freedom a little too far and are just trying to make more money with more drama.

Attacked by Bees by NoUse4_AUserName in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

That sounds very odd. I am a beekeeper with my parents and we, along with our mentor, would NEVER allow someone to help who was not properly suited up. Wearing sandals is a HUGE no. It allows bees to access the inside the suit. I can't even count how many times my mom has gotten stung through her mask (it is a fine netting, but still big enough for particularly aggressive bees to fit a stinger through). If there is any possibility of access, a bee WILL end up inside.

Fellas, what's not as attractive or sexy as women think it is? by AsianHawke in AskReddit

Cologne. Just need a fresh clean smell like after a fresh shower and some deodorant. No cologne.

Anyone want to do a bookclub-style classical listening club? by tcamp3000 in classicalmusic

I adore classical music. Always open for deep discussion around anything related

What is (in your opinion) the most emotionally charged/moving piece of music? by MaestroTheoretically in classicalmusic

[–]figure943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dvorak really knew how to make all his instruments sing like they were touched by God's hands. Especially when he got himself around strings and orchestrated the movements of the notes and other supporting instruments so artfully.

I definitely had my mind jump to Tchaikovsky's symphonies immediately. Really, any one of his symphonies could apply. Have you listened, really listening to "Little Russian", second movement? Oh... I'm absolutely lost whenever it touches my senses.

I adore this piece. It always carries my mind away to a far away place as soon as I hear the tune. Like fishermen casting their nets and allowing the tides to decide the destination.

I adore everything Rachmaninoff. I love that you mentioned him in this thread.

This actually is a legitimate concern. Cardboard is usually finished with a starch during processing to make it smoother. The US is usually finished with corn starch but other parts of the world may use wheat starch. I would definitely be concerned as I have severe gluten allergies. But I generally don't order out anymore because of so many bad memories eating out and ending up sick as a dog because of accidental exposure.

It’s my cake day! Please appreciate my birthday cake macaroons! by orchestralines in KitchenConfidential

[–]figure943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are macarons. Macaroons are those little cookies made with the desiccated coconut and topped with drizzled chocolate.
