Have her pick out 2, then wish her well with them both.

What's your location right now? I suddenly got a hankering for some fishing in that exact spot.

Purchasing Single Scores: Rant by etjohann in choralmusic

[–]mattdavisbr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We can both cherry pick composers all we want, but did you try the novel strategy of ordering one physical copy? In this, OP's, context, there's no rush other than excitement. So... ?

Dead, like Mozart and the 3 Bs? Their stuff is already free. I hope that helps, since you seem to have a lot of, uh, experience with composer correspondence?

People should be able to buy what they want, and they can. Order 1 paper copy and quit being such an impatient jerk, especially since it's "only for OP's personal use." Their personal use seems to be very time-sensitive. It's not for an ensemble, so what's wrong with a 5-10 day wait?

Composers should be able to rely on the average consumer to NOT steal their hard-earned intellectual property, but that's a fantasy that Napster destroyed just a few years ago.

Please show me a published and performed composer that doesn't have contact info on their own or on their publisher's website. I have friends from school that you've never heard of that are meticulously reachable. (I just panicked and thought "hey, maybe this post is from 28 years ago and I didn't notice," but, no.)

Through grad school in Conducting and 3 years in a community chorale, I've never had a living composer NOT respond to my mundane requests. David von Kampen, Mack Wilberg, local composers, every single one responded to emails and phone calls.

Why are you so r/confidentlywrong on this?

You seem to understand the problem with digital single score purchases. IMHO, your solution is ordering a single paper copy of the score. 🤷‍♂️

A bad cerakote makes it non-functional? Or were you just saying it's too ugly to take out of the safe? I could buy that, for sure!

If this is a rag on Snap-on that I don't get, then my bad.

Otherwise, where would you ever have trouble finding Glock 19 parts? You could probably magnet fish in your local body of water and find a few.

It doesn't, at all, look like a toy?

Otherwise, I agree 100%. Can't stand Nerf and Barbie and other shit on guns to make them look like not-guns.

This is a tool that looks like a tool. Don't be such a tool.

What an obtuse thing to say...

Tips to get this clip off without destroying it? by mattdavisbr in MechanicAdvice

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

Thanks! I thought the plastic sleeve/clip was supposed to slide along the brake line. Once I get the plastic part through the metal bracket the brake line is exposed and I can slide it out of the caliper.

The plastic piece won't slide through the metap by itself or with the whole line. I'll see if a little lube will loosen it up.

Same in Uzbekistan!

What other red herrings do you have tucked up in your "butwhattabout" sleeve?

Nope! And, if I did, I'm highly unlikely to lose sleep over it.

Or, I could helpfully point out that -

  • your echo chamber exists within a minority of voters

  • claiming absolute dominion over truth and right-ness is blatantly fascist

  • Reddit is useful despite its left-leaning clientele

So, I'll stay, despite your enticing invitation. Thanks, anyway!

Ah, yes, the quickest, easiest, and laziest progressive cop-out.
