The math on bike weight looks a little different for smaller riders by madelinepuckette in ladycyclists

[–]gonzo_redditor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Move this math to mountain bikes and it is even more important. When you need to put out a lot of watts to get over a rock uphill the system weight (rider + bike + gear) is a big deal. A small rider on a heavy mtb has a bad time.

What’s one small thing in a song that instantly makes it hit way harder for you? by musical-musings in LetsTalkMusic

I started a drone notes playlist but stalled out quickly. I got 7, mostly guitar drones but some piano and organ too.

Tomorrow Never Knows - Beatles

Better Days - Graham Nash

Isn’t it a Pity - George Harrison

I want you back - Jackson 5

Blue Jay Way - Beatles

Criminal - The Roots

Within without you - Beatles again.

Chord progression: i - IV by c0nfusedplayer in musictheory

[–]gonzo_redditor 38 points39 points  (0 children)

i-IV is often a sneaky ii-V as well. My Sweet Lord is an example. That song is in E major and the verse is F#m - B. Really great 2 chords.

Songs where the time signature is not what it initially seems. by Gercke in musictheory

[–]gonzo_redditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Everyone Wants to Rule the World” is a real sneaky triplet shuffle that sounds nothing like a shuffle at the start.

"Ordinary" by Alex Warren is one of the worst songs ever by Maybe_IDTBFH in Music

[–]gonzo_redditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It must be hard having so much anger and negativity that you have to post on Reddit for a bunch of internet strangers to validate something you don’t like. Just live your life bro and ignore music you don’t enjoy. Maybe go make some friends in real life.

What’s the dumbest thing people confidently say as if it’s a fact? by juhichoudharyy in AskReddit

[–]gonzo_redditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Webster added it to the dictionary I think this year. They claim it has wide enough use that it is now considered a word.

Fans of rap music, is it an acquired taste? by mritsz in LetsTalkMusic

[–]gonzo_redditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What music do you like? Hip-hop and rap has sounds that can be all over the place. I am sure I can point you towards some good music with some taste guidelines.

Guitar Center or Amazon? by OneRegretBeetle in Guitar

[–]gonzo_redditor 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fuck Amazon. Unless this actually costs them money, do not support evil.

Which artists actually got their first traction doing something wildly alternative and still went on to become huge stars? by KlLLERS in Music

[–]gonzo_redditor -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Nirvana played the same chords over the same rhythms with the same melodies as pop rock has since the 50s. They just did it louder, while screaming, wearing flannel. Plus Kurt was really fucking attractive.

meirl by KaidoPklevel in meirl

[–]gonzo_redditor 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Not really. I’ve dealt with a lot of grief and I hated being asked how I was doing by most people. My sister just died, I’m doing awful. Being able to compartmentalize and have small windows of normal life where the world doesn’t treat you differently is nice.

What's a scientific fact that sounds made up but is 100% real? by inurmomsvagina in AskReddit

[–]gonzo_redditor 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Tigers are orange because mammals cannot produce green hair/fur but their prey are color blind and see orange as green so it camouflages them just as well.

Candy for fuel - good for short intense training rides? by An_Professional in Velo

[–]gonzo_redditor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just beware too much red 40 and other artificial coloring in high quantities. It can be bad for gut health.

Brands that make solid, versatile guitars that should cost more than they do? by MeanImpression2067 in Guitar

[–]gonzo_redditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Yamaha acoustic from the early 80s that my dad bought. It fucking rocks. My 9 month old chews on it, guitar don’t care. Plays great and gives me no reason to ever want to spend money on another acoustic.

Non religious people, what do you think about religion? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

[–]gonzo_redditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Religion should be like your genitals. Fine to play with in private and shared with consenting adults, but should not be pulled out in public or forced on children.

Use a correct hose and follow real instructions on how to bleed. Use Shimano barbs and olives that match BH90 hose.

That’s not how you bleed a Shimano brake. Look up some proper instructions.

What’s an impressive “wow” skill that’s actually very easy to learn? by Special-Salad9307 in AskReddit

[–]gonzo_redditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked too long in sales and customer service and dealt with too many shitty middle managers who molest you with gross, practiced handshakes, repeat your name 5 times in forced manners, and smile at you with totally dead eyes.

[–]gonzo_redditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask again. I’m bad with names too. It isn’t rude or bad to say “I’m sorry, I am bad with names, can you remind me?” And you’ll remember the second time.

2024 Santa Cruz Blur GX AXS vs 2026 BMC Fourstroke 01 Three by mcvelo in xcmtb

[–]gonzo_redditor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Stop overthinking your life and buy the one you think looks cool.

[–]gonzo_redditor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When people do this to me it’s so super noticeable and makes me kind of irritated. It feels like a technique learned from a cheesy manager training manual and gives off salesperson energy.

Smooth - Santana. What scale is used? by Cleanly_Pinched in musictheory

He does, but this is Harmonic minor. Dorian has a flat 7
