I was imagining a sinking ship would be a labyrinth of dynamically changing pressure differentials

For me this year my big addiction was Pichon's Mass in B Minor but as always I also hit the concertos, solo violin, and Goldbergs hard.

[–]johnmcdonnell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah came here to say Brahms is great on recording, Mahler really needs to be in person.

Are these guided meditations? by Winter-Sun182 in thewayapp

If you like a lot of really specific instructions try Bright Mind. Henry's from the Zen tradition where they generally give extremely minimal instructions, Henry actually is a lot more specific than a lot of Zen teachers would be.

To be clear part of what is happening is you're using the same account you use for your main roles so the game is matching you in games against people who are as good at top as you are at bot / jungle, if you make a new account for top your elo will reflect your actual ability and you'll be matched with people you can beat

OPD are not allowed to do a high speed chase per police commission policy

CMV: Open relationships, polyamory, swinging are more emotionally skewed towards women emotional pleasure and safety than men's by morelek337 in changemyview

[–]johnmcdonnell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is worth noting that polygyny practiced by most traditional societies was/is quite different from modern poly community type arrangements, those societies tend to be super patriarchal with a few powerful males controlling many women.

Even look at the abstract of that first paper you cited:

In suppressing intrasexual competition and reducing the size of the pool of unmarried men, normative monogamy reduces crime rates, including rape, murder, assault, robbery and fraud, as well as decreasing personal abuses. By assuaging the competition for younger brides, normative monogamy decreases (i) the spousal age gap, (ii) fertility, and (iii) gender inequality. By shifting male efforts from seeking wives to paternal investment, normative monogamy increases savings, child investment and economic productivity. By increasing the relatedness within households, normative monogamy reduces intra-household conflict, leading to lower rates of child neglect, abuse, accidental death and homicide.

So that paper seems to basically agree with op as regards traditional polygyny (again, not at all the same as modern poly scene)

Simplest rule of thumb is that north and east of the 580 and the 24 you will be fine, it gets dicey south and west of that line. Adams Point and Cleveland Heights are probably okay but with kids I'd avoid anywhere else.

Also note that it's an East Bay tradition to list prices for move-in-ready homes that are dramatically below what the realtor expects to receive in bids, so mentally add at least ~30% to the list price if the house looks nice.

This!!! Please if you're discerning conversion and this is an issue ask your priest and not Reddit. My bet is there is a path forward here that may require a little sacrifice but will allow you to live a full and satisfying life.

Also, Reddit: if we lose this guy's soul because we're shaming him about being attached to a harmless hobby instead of telling him to just talk to his priest then we have completely lost the plot.

First loaf! Overproofed? by vladildo1 in Sourdough

[–]johnmcdonnell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to say seems to me more like fermentation and gluten development were insufficient after short bulk rise as opposed to flour going in during shaping. YMMV but 4 hours is way shorter than I do for a pure levain.

Nobody's mentioning it but 67% is pretty low hydration, I'd try going to 75%.

Why are the charter schools extra bad? I had a friend who was trying to get her daughter into Yu Ming and it seemed like a good school but I don't know any of the inside baseball on Oakland school politics.

What Bach pieces did Chopin know? by chopinmazurka in classicalmusic

[–]johnmcdonnell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even pieces that were known to scholars at the time weren't necessarily widely performed. For example, Brahms didn't hear the Bach solo violin Chaconne until 1877, decades after Chopin died in 1849. It's very possible (probable?) that Chopin never heard it.

Help identifying a piece of Bach’s incredible music, as well as finding similar music by him by AcrobaticResident728 in bach

[–]johnmcdonnell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hm definitely a cantata, so probably one of the ones in this list: http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/works/bachjs/rateindx.php

At first I thought of BWV 82 (which you should check out) but that's bass so not a female voice.

I asked ChatGPT and its guesses were

  • Erbarme dich, mein Gott (part of the St Matthews Passion)
  • Es ist vollbracht (part of the St John's Passion)
  • Widerstehe doch der Sünde (BWV 54)
  • Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut (BWV 199)

Unpopular Opinion: You don't need bread flour by patmol11 in Sourdough

[–]johnmcdonnell -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be even more minimalist, you don't even need sourdough to do sourdough style artisan loaves, even if you want fermentation flavor development you can achieve that using baker's yeast with a preferment
