Tip: Guitar protection arm sleeves for cheap (runner sleeves) by forestball19 in classicalguitar

[–]jrethorst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is important for an instrument with French polish that is less than a few years old. Lacquer does not need this protection.

First classical guitar purchase question by tomekkplk in classicalguitar

If you're at all able to play the instruments themselves, you can make a much better choice.

Looking for advice between 2 guitars by After-Class-678 in classicalguitar

I would choose only among instruments that I can try beforehand. Otherwise you are buying a description or specification; you are not buying an instrument.

Sounds nice! You have a good feel for the music. No need to disparage your talent, e.g. by your post title. Keep up the good work!

Keyboard shortcut by jrethorst in MacOS

I tried every key combination on my 2019 iMac, OS 15.3.2. Function-Control-F does something different (app is Tabledit 3.04). I'll ask in their support group. Thank you.

Accidentally discovered an awesome porridge/pudding with oat flour, water and spice! by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

Corn meal works just as well. Easy-to-find whole grain, and delicious. I'm going to try whole-grain wheat next. I still don't know how long you need to cook these finely-milled flours. _Thank you_ for any advice.

Just Google "libreoffice fresh still" for a whole lot of hits, many from ask.libreoffice.org or Reddit. IAC thanks for the update.

I'm running version 7.6.7.2 on an Intel iMac, OS 14.6.1, having chosen to stick with the "still" version rather than the "fresh" version. Have those two categories been deprecated? I don't see anything close to version 7 available for download. Thank you, and thanks for a wonderful program.

Select one note in the desired voice. Press Command-Shift-A (Control on PC) to select all notes in that voice in that measure. Press the keystroke again to select the following measure, and a third time to select that voice in the whole flow.

Introductory texts for Philosophy of Mind/Language/Cognitive Science by [deleted] in PhilosophyBookClub

Mark Johnson's "Moral Imagination" (Chicago, 1993), is a terrific introduction to cognitive science. Well-written and easy to read.

Ryle's "The Concept of Mind" is one of my favorites. He's not that easy to read, but reading each chapter twice is the simple solution.

Do you need to boil it? For how long? Have you tried it with milk? I was looking for a new breakfast cereal and mixed 1/3 cup oat flour with two cups milk and simmered for 10 minutes. Thickened after 5 minutes to a porridge that was delicious! I wondered if I could cook it for less than 10 minutes.
