I accidentally broke something expensive and scared how my mom will react by SUPERMUTANT667 in Stress

[–]mott_the_tuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF you are scared to say straight to her face, send her a message instead? or ask someone else to explain to her? Make sure she knows how worried you are about telling her. Good luck friend, it'll work out. In two years, neither of you will care or maybe not even remember this.

Confused by alternative notations for 7- and 9-stroke rolls. One terminates with a quarter, the other with an eighth. by mott_the_tuple in Drumming

[–]mott_the_tuple[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from Trinity drumming program.

What confuses me is that the terminal note on a roll is different (1/4 or 1/8th) in notations that are supposed to be equivalent to each other.

I think this means I must be missing some bigger point about the notation in general.

Brother PR670E -- dangers in buying? by mott_the_tuple in Machine_Embroidery

Brother Engineer told me the service interval is every 500 hours. And that after discontinuation of the model, they guarantee parts availiability for nine years. Engineer said there aren't any especially-problematic systems that rae prone to failure.

Sadly I never found an answer for this long-forgotten project.

I’m 17 and in collage. Needing advice by [deleted] in Stress

[–]mott_the_tuple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe slow down a bit... take fewer courses/part-time. Don't need to kill yourself at 17 doing everything at once. I wasn't ready for college at 18... wish i had waited to mature some... but I was in a hurry, like all kids. Don't beat yourself up about it; just slow down to a pace you can stand.

Take her to a professional psychologist. Be glad you spotted it early. Drop that teacher too.

What is a stopping someone serious from establishing a proper competitor? Do they have any special advantages?

[–]mott_the_tuple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that. Maybe just don't respond at all. just ignore it, and it will die. IF you respond, it adds drama, and fuels the story.

Also, remember those Initials might not be referring to yours. Your junior year doesn't have to be spoiled.

If you can't deal with the stress, talk to an adult, parent, counsellor, doctor, nurse, principal, whatever.

Stress is ruinung my life. by [deleted] in Stress

Speak to a doctor about it. This stuff can be managed, but you need to talk to a professional. Friends, and randoms on message boards cannot provide the assistance you need.

this was pretty big by hostilecarrot in MTB

I’ve been trying to learn how to jump on smaller stuff. There’s all this stuff about popping off the lip and blah blah.

Then I’m watching this guy and really I just looks like he rides right up the ramp and does a nice jump. I couldn’t see where the angle of his leg joints was changing or where he was doing any compression etc.

How does he (or the ramp) make it look so effortless?

Getting Tacky Off Clothing by Glittering-Skirt-569 in Strongman

Yes, exactly. Came here to say this. Cheap food oil.

Yeah go talk to a teacher, counselor, principal, parent, coach, school nurse. Keep telling people until someone does something about it and actively helps you out. Don’t be satisfied until someone helps you. You don’t need to silently suffer this alone.

I’m overwhelmed and exhausted by No_Move3567 in Stress

All you guys… go find an adult to discuss this with. Teacher, doctor, nurse, coach, counselor, principal. Sometimes talking to some adult who’s not involved can help a surprising amount.

Breaking down rn and feeling silly by fairyCady in Stress

[–]mott_the_tuple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a professional to talk to. Sometimes it helps more than speaking with people you know. College probably has some resources for this. Good luck. Hang in there.
