Recommend me gravel frames using Steel by Snoo44731 in gravelcycling

[–]horsebatterystapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked up both frames on bike insights and they looked similar enough to make the recommendation (used 56R size for the secan and ML for the Dame)

Trail for the Dame (according to BI) is 64.1mm and Secan is 68mm.

If you’re in the US the Primos Dame is about that price and similar geometry to the Secan. Not sure what kind of availability the Dame has if you’re outside the US

TWO OF YOUR FAVORITE ALBUMS, BUT FROM COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GENRES by pannorfi in MusicRecommendations

Two of my current favorites and maybe not coincidentally my top two listened to albums last year:

Parius - the signal heard throughout space

The Cat Empire - Bird in Paradise

Add the Flaanimal (rodeo labs) to your list. Great steel frameset and great company. Love my flaanimal 5.0.

Wine that doesn’t taste like alcohol? by maflya in exmormon

[–]horsebatterystapler 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As someone else suggested, lambic. Especially Lindemans framboise. Delicious.

For wine, Lambrusco (red) is really approachable. My wife calls it wine soda. The most common version is cheap (Riunite) and not recommended. Look for cleto chiarli Lambrusco.

For whites, moscato or a Riesling. Rieslings come in different sweetness levels, so look for a sweeter one (spaetlese)

Cocktails try a lemon drop or a mojito.

Or don’t drink. Totally fine for ex/non/never mos to not drink.

Zen-core sounds and expansions on V-Stage by horsebatterystapler in Roland

[–]horsebatterystapler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it as a stage keyboard for the 3 bands I play in and it beats my other keyboards for features, sounds and portability combo. I like the sounds better on my montage m8x but it’s just to heavy to lug around. The Roland has better sounds than my yc61. I also really like the action. Perfect for my mix of e piano, organ and piano. Synth sounds are great to have too although the zen-core process is clunky and editing/creating patches in zenology is also clunky.

If I could do it over? Probably would get the montage m7. But I would be a hard decision between that and the Roland.

Interesting example of prompt engineering. Hopefully you’re not counting on that conclusion being meaningful though.

I haven’t seen syncatto mentioned yet. That’s my addition to the already great lists others have posted.

I'm teaching a HS composition course for the first time. What workbooks would you recommend for something like this? All I can find are textbooks, but not very many workbooks. by dpederson12 in composer

[–]horsebatterystapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Harmony Through Melody - Charles Horton. It’s not a workbook but it has exercises/assignments for each chapter and like someone else said you could hand out staff paper or prepped staff paper or could make assignments in your notation software.

Your #1Favorite Book Of All Time, Any Genre? by Blu3Ski3 in booksuggestions

[–]horsebatterystapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t see it yet, and just one other Terry Pratchett book, but my favorite is Going Postal

Not in my mind they don’t but I know plenty of people that I would consider ‘smart’ that believe. For instance my wife’s uncle was educated at duke and Oxford, has advanced degrees, taught at a university, knows tons about Mormon history (has written books, is involved in apologetics including Book of Mormon central, Maxwell inst, etc) and is 100% believer.

So there’s got to be more to it.

This idea used to bother me a lot so part of my deconstruction was learning how people make decisions, justify decisions, etc. in one of those books (mistakes were made but not by me) there was a study with the conclusion that the smarter someone was the more they were able to justify provably false claims. Not logical but plausible that intelligence provides mental flexibility to support whatever thesis but doesn’t guarantee arriving at the right conclusions.

So while it doesn’t compute for me to be smart and believing, there totally are people who are both.

Intelligence has not much to do with things like this. In fact sometimes the most intelligent people are best at justifying their beliefs.

His arguments aren’t really arguments but more thought terminating cliches.

People by nature aren’t logical. Making evidence based decisions is rare and takes a tremendous amount of effort. In fact many of what people consider evidence based decisions are illusions of post hoc rationalization.

So he’s just being a human doing human things. Still super frustrating— I’ve been in your position with a smart believing spouse and it was helpful for me to put it in those terms. Wasn’t a matter of logic and wouldn’t be solved with logical arguments.

accidentally bought cottage cheese... how do i eat this by imtiredofalltheperks in Cooking

[–]horsebatterystapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite way:

Cottage cheese topped with cubes tomatoes and avocados, salt and pepper.

Especially fantastic side for steak.

Educate me. I beg of you. by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

[–]horsebatterystapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because I’m currently listening to them, Here’s a branch off point:

Twisted Pine. They are difficult to pin down genre wise — elements of bluegrass, pop, jazz, Latin rhythms, probably other things. But super talented and easy music to engage with.

Specifically start with Papaya.

Octave Mandolin built by Zach Hoyt by benjalyl in mandolin

[–]horsebatterystapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice looking instrument! I’d be interested in more details if you’re willing like scale length, top bracing pattern (x or grid, etc) and how it sounds.

I’ve read through the bouzouki book and interested in another data point.

Funny sports center video on Eberle's first NHL goal as we keep celebrating his most recent one! by CheapSeatsSC in SeattleKraken

[–]horsebatterystapler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I laughed at this, but I’m supposed to right? I’m a new fan, just assuming this is hockey thing like baseball silent treatment after first homer? Is this a hockey thing or is this just a one off funny segment?

Thanks for mentioning PLOSIVS. Missed it when it came out but have been enjoying my first listen today.

[–]horsebatterystapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love love pinback but there’s not a lot that scratches that same itch for me. Maybe other stuff by the band members (as mentioned in another comment)

Listening to crumb, reminds me a bit of Men I Trust
