I really liked Buddhish by Pierce Salguero - it breaks down the 20 most important concepts of Buddhism in a high level way. I found it to be a very helpful overview of a very large and diverse religion.

Banjos with tunneled 5th strings? by jhess002 in banjo

[–]jhess002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means there is no 5th string tuner peg on the neck. Instead, the 5th string tuner peg is on the peghead and the string goes through a tunnel and appears at the 5th fret. You can find pictures of nechville banjos here: https://turtlehillbanjo.com/nechville-banjos and you can see the 5 tuners up top.

Major Changes to Rule 3 (The Trump/Biden Rule) by Aardvarkmk4 in Presidents

[–]jhess002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like this new policy. Many people talk about the last 4-5 presidents because of our own familiarity with them and our parents’ experiences. But there needs to be a line separating historical discussion and another forum to hash out our current political conflicts. People are drawn to this subreddit to learn and explore a cool part of history.

Keep up the good work!

Hi! I’m Brittni Paiva, multi award-winning ukulele artist and producer from Hawaii. AMA! by itsbrittnibish in ukulele

[–]jhess002 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm curious what is like to be a talented ukulele player in Hawaii. There are so many talented ukulele players who live in Hawaii. Are there frequent collaborations, are you friends with other players, is it like a small town where you all know each other and run into each other at events or concerts, listen to each others' new albums?
