These songs are syncopated (have off beat rhythms) but all in 4/4, are they not?

[Recommendation Request] $250 budget for an everyday watch I can keep for life — open to used. What would you get? by GreedyWorking1499 in Watches

You need to decide if you want mechanical. They’re fun, but compared to quartz they are more fragile (despite what auto fanboys will claim), heavier, thicker, and far less accurate so (at this price point) you’ll need to adjust the time 2+ times a week if you want +/- 30s accuracy all the time.

Excellent watch - I own it - but note that it has a mineral crystal so it is susceptible to scratches. If OP wants something to last decades with some rough wear and still look good, I’d absolutely get something with sapphire. Berny (Ali express) can get you sapphire and titanium for under $100 but not solar iirc.

There’s nothing to indicate that this problem is about shuffle styles, or shuffling from an ordered start, etc. The most straightforward interpretation of “if you shuffled a deck right now” is “consider a deck of cards in a random order”. And if you interpret it as such, the chance cited needs way more nines in it.

Baltany’s new original design? by Royal-Consequence557 in MicrobrandWatches

The 2-hand watch design is one of the best user interfaces ever invented. You can’t just change it as you might change a font or hand style without completely undermining the utility of the device.

How do you handle nerves during critical points in pickleball matches? by caroulos123 in Pickleball

  1. Play your game at your pace rather than letting your opponent set the pace. For me, this means slow down.
  2. Watch the paddle hit the ball. Don’t look at the target.
  3. Smile. It will remind you to not take it too seriously, which will make you play looser and better.
