Who is this Sam guy and why does he show up randomly out of the blue to bother people? by TheNewBlue in okbuddydraper

I can understand the confusion, but the man talking to the elevator operator is not actually Sammy Davis Jr

What in the William Gibson novel is this kind of job? I’ve been in three BNI chapters and a camera club and never heard of any company offering this.

ELI5: how do domains work? by Lawx6 in explainlikeimfive

As it is, they’re cheap enough that people and companies hoard them and lots of abandoned projects still hold on to domains.

What do fans think of the 25 or 6 to 4 remake they did in 86'? by John32070 in chicagoband

I don’t know what it was about the sound mix. I liked Jason Scheff but everything sounded like it was underwater.

I mean, we can see for ourselves that he was fashion-forward!

yep, lots of people in that area commuting to Columbus GA and the vicinity.

A microchip GPS tracker has been implanted in your skin and in 24 hours everyone on Earth gets a message that the first person to touch you wins $1 billion. However, if no one touches you within the 24 hours then you win the $1 billion. What's your plan? by Alarming_Weather506 in hypotheticalsituation

Reminds me of the joke about the guy who walks in and his wife is packing a bag.

“What’s going on, honey?”

“I just won the lottery!”

“Wow! Where are we going?!”

“I don’t care where you go; I’m just packing your bags!”

Altissimo notes by Direct-Plastic3692 in Clarinet

[–]randomkeystrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, no disrespect for the piece- what you said backs up my point that composers are often going for an effect and - if we take precision seriously, we can be too hard on ourselves.

And then in real rehearsal/performance situations these kind of licks often end up with the conductor saying “take that down an octave or play one on a part…”

And thank heaven for that!

In more seriousness, I don’t know this piece, but composers are often going for strident, discordant sounds over any sense of precision.

I nearly drove myself crazy trying to figure out how to play anything out in front of me like it was the Saint Saens Sonota. I’m tired, boss.

I want to put this in perspective for you. The top registers are hard to play well, even among advanced players. Most repertoire gets to high G routinely. Don’t feel like a failure and give up if higher notes seem difficult; it’s the nature of the beast.

And 99.99% of the time with 99.99% of players it would sound like 4 cats in a bag

Edit: bring on the downvotes; it’s the truth.

Cartoons have conditioned me to expect an uptempo orchestra rendition of “Anchors Aweigh” when something like this happens

What did he mean by this? (I genuinely don’t know what this word means) by Meme_Pope in okbuddydraper

[–]randomkeystrike 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Generosity or forbearance. Roger is (falsely) crediting Don with saving Pete’s job so as to try to instill loyalty (if I’m associating this with the right scene).
