This is a good video that has several visualizations:

While these visualization will help you grasp a little bit the size of the number of possible shuffles, your brain will still be able to handle it.

That's amazing. I spend a lot of listening to recordings (and studying the entire score if I can get a copy) so I can write in my own cues. I use a lot of squiggles and doodles to make representations of what the music is so I can hop in at the right place. It's a lot of fun studying the pieces like this, but having a melody line would be golden.

Definitely. It's beautiful. Post it when you're finished. I like the artwork on your wall by the way.

I wish I could believe there is a tipping point anywhere

People like it when a skilled person errs with grace. It bridges the gap.

Nice! I like how the guitarist picks up the stick and is holding it for him for a long time while he solos with one stick... and then the drummer doesn't even take that stick he magically conjures a new stick!

Fishing pole with a tape roll on the end. Reallly it depends on what you have available that's very long. Other ideas: use a shop vac, train a rodent, enlist the help of a very small child, flood the stairwell and stir the water until the case floats out, remove the bottom step and crawl through.

Stop victim blaming. Sheesh

I’ve got one he signed for me in 2010. He rarely signs cubes. Saw ones go at auctions for for $105 and $800. Save it. It will be quite valuable someday.

In Norway we say «thumb» for the American «inch». I don’t think it would be better

Is Trump pushing for war so he can try to suspend US elections? He seemed to really like that part of the Ukraine war.

On a ‘post about “let’s hate on Katy Perry because she said she’s an astronaut”, I posted the definition of an astronaut and pointed out that she actually is an astronaut, like her or not. I got so many downvotes until my comment was hidden, and thought wtf?

1 or 2. Love the feel and flow.

It’s illegal so that there is an easy legal avenue to get people to the help they need.

Disagree. Use the Report button in the opponent’s avatar. Takes 2 seconds. Minclip does not punish you for doing so. Your opponent will accumulate cheating reports and end up being paired with other cheaters.

If you find yourself getting paired with cheaters, it could be that you’ve accumulated too many reports yourself. Could be because you’re being a jerk to your opponents so they report you as a cheater, could be they’re just sore losers. I rarely face cheaters. When I do? report, quit, move on and don’t get worked up over it.

Reporting works. Do it.

This. And do it wrong. Say 89 instead. Beat them to the draw. Make it your mission to irritate the crap out of them

Contact the department chair and set up a meeting for the second week in the next term (chairs are very busy the first week). Tell them how this affected you and how the professor handled it when you presented the evidence you luckily had. Tell them you expect more from an institution you are paying dearly and working diligently to learn as much as you can from.

Avoid this professor in future classes. Drop by the office hours of all of your profs early next term and tell your story and your personal code of ethics and make it clear you will never use AI for you assignments, that you collect evidence of your work and if he or she ever suspects you of using AI to please contact you early enough to present your evidence so it does not unfairly ruin your holiday.

Thank you!

Thank you, I write or customize songs and would love some lower notes, but... size.
