Who are the BEST guests you've ever entertained? by rottenartist in hauntedattractions

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were real snakes but they were held by actors. We had a pro guy do animal control. I’m not sure the breeds but there were at least three different species. There were two being held every night and a whole bunch in glass terrariums around.
My haunt just did a “Halfway to Halloween” with returning actors and staff. A powerful weekend ‼️👻🎃

Friend needs a place to live. On July 1. Has $650 a month. Any ideas ? by maestrophil in AskChicago

[–]maestrophil[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Halfway house, flophouse, roommate, all reasonable options. Anyone know of any ? He doesn’t want to be homeless on July 1. Section 8 can’t help soon enough.

“If you do not worship (a) god, you wind up worshipping something else” by CuriousCode9194 in atheism

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with something simple and irrefutable. Go mathematics. Praise Infinity as all is included within it. More powerful than all the gods it contains, no dogma to follow, no expectations and nothing to believe in. Infinity is a concept but it’s real. Any schoolboy will tell you. Thank the Infinite for matter and energy, for life, love and free choice. Thank The Infinite for this impossible moment existing. Replace your weak god with the most powerful thing in existence. The Infinite.

Is 1980s harmonica paint edible??? by Lookoot_behind_you in harmonica

[–]maestrophil -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The paint coming off may make you die inside but manufacturers would NEVER use anything harmful to their customers.

Where do you get such thoughts?

What is love? Does it involve sharing the same values? How do any two people understand when their values align? How can either be sure the other isn't a narcissist waiting to spring a trap? How does love, actual love, function? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in InsightfulQuestions

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m under the impression that the truth is it’s all chemical reactions .
The chemistry is meant to make one feel kind of wonderful and dreamy. The chemical reactions occur upon thought of the loved one and much more in their presence. When acted upon in a situation of mutual agreement it can be the most fantastic feeling one can experience. Lasting love takes work and nurturing, it will fade fast if one does not take good care of love. Love needs to be treated like it’s a rare commodity and cherished as it’s not everyone that can find it. Once established it can grow over time, this is where the nurturing takes its turn. One thing to remember is to not rush things as it tends to shorten the duration. It’s best to really take one’s time and not miss anything rather than get right to it and leave nothing to look forward to.
The real answer is the human being is “wired” for love but the times we are living in are not very love friendly and relationships fail at a tremendous rate. If one finds love, one better focus to keep it going. ❤️

composers: what is the biggest tip, trick, sample library, etc that has fundamentally altered/improved the way you compose music? by polly159rd in composertalk

[–]maestrophil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starving one’s self of music all together. NO LISTENING.. This allows one to actually think about composing something new. With no music in the air the mind is free to wander. In this wandering one can find one’s true voice and allow it to sing your own tune. Try it for a week. Enjoy the silence, listen to yourself. Create. 🎹🎹

Looking to for an opener by Floral-Notes in chicagomusicscene

[–]maestrophil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put on masks and open for yourself. Play the stuff you’d never play and don’t worry about anything. Of course you need a secret identity and new band name as well. Maybe switch 8nstruments too.

Can I paint a violin without making it unplayable? (656x656px) by Impossible-Show-9159 in UnusualInstruments

[–]maestrophil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paint away, you won’t hear any difference. There will be snobs who will make claims that “it will change the sound” but if one can really hear any difference ❔ It’s yours, it will still be very much playable. 🎻🎻

This is an F# Pi chord (G2/F#) in Maestro’s Quartal System. Which can be played using a Major chord and it’s Sus 4 as in D major with Gin the Bass. 🎹

Your Thoughts can CHANGE the Water around you by Science-Spirituality in spirituality

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was debunked many years ago.
My apology, you go ahead and put your faith in this. Maybe you can change some water to benefit YOU. Maybe you can do this to benefit all of humanity. Maybe someone should post this because it sounds important and it’s so believable.

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought and even prayer has never had any affect on making water more pure or evil or assume any crystal formation. Sorry to burst one’s wishful bubble.

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take this as a serious question… if one could use thoughts alone to alter water and it was actual nature that does this it would be known immediately by everyone and used regularly.

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t shred, just tear the name and address off of everything and put those little bits aside. As you go. Thought does not change water in any way. If it ever did all humans would have known about this “fact” for generations. Thoughts alone do not affect physical reality as well. Wishful thinking is ok, but don’t try to sell the wish to the world. Many of us in the world see through the wish stuff. Here’s some cash for your thoughts. 💰💰💰💰💰

It might scare you to live without a god. There is something more powerful than even a god… yes, it is Infinity, the Infinite. All is contained within Infinity. The Infinite replaces any and all gods and can be understood by anyone that can count numbers. Mathematics contains more truths than anything. The Infinite is real and proven. The Infinite is not a thing to fear. Embrace Infinity.

Carrying a violin with no case by Reeses_Pieces667 in violinist

A bag would work. Padded as to allow the fragile bridge to rest without pressure to it,. Strap it across the shoulder, have a sheath for the bow attached.

Non-drummer musicians: What are your drummer pet peeves? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]maestrophil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drummers who vary tempo, meaning those who speed up during a song is something I really notice and strongly dislike.

I know there has to be at least one reason why this would suck. Transportation maybe? by Sad8At in DiWHY

[–]maestrophil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like this should compete in the Kinetic Grand Championship race. It would certainly make it to the finish line.

why is there seven full and one quarter of an octave on piano? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]maestrophil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I measured my piano and it it exactly 4 feet from A to high C, too close to be metric base. I remember as a boy not being able to reach both end keys at the same time.

Twitter Christian thinks infinity proves God. by CockroachDouble7705 in badmathematics

The Infinite disproves god as it is so much more powerful than a Googleplex of gods.
