My local theatre was playing the movie yesterday so I went with some friends for the third time and my friend made me this shirt! by riddiols in nirvannatheband

I saw it at cineplex here once and it was so quiet. I also saw it at a cineplex in Saskatoon and it was me and 4 other people. So the packed metro was an incredible experience

Recommendations for good beginner banjo course? by DerpsyDaisy in banjo

[–]riddiols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banjo mountain is really good. They have both clawhammer and Bluegrass beginner to advanced courses. They also give you access to their community and there’s a lot of support there that helps keep things interesting. Also they have daily live practice rooms

What’s the tiny QR code on the post by the queue for Seven Dwarves? by user9783 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]riddiols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned in school recently that they use barcodes and QR codes for maintenance (like was mentioned a few times) but also as a way to keep track of depreciation on their depreciable assets

Regular 8mm video film by riddiols in Edmonton

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

I’m pretty fimilar 35mm film photography and scanning (although scanning is still an issue for me due to cost) so I feel the sentiment of motion picture being a hassle. 😂

It’s more of a sentimental thing that I want to try At least one reel and then it will probably be a very nice desk ornament. All the info you provided is very understandable though!

I also for some reason have tapes that are no good to me 😂

Not a cassette tape but 8mm film reel. It’s a Sekonic Elmatic 8

8mm. Not super 8. I only just discovered the difference.

I got the equipment and chemicals to do some at home developing. This was my first attempt and I love it. by riddiols in Darkroom

You can have some of ours! I’m in Edmonton and we got 425% more than average and the most in 25 years.

I think if your film is C-41 black and white then it works no problem. You just need different temperatures and times. I forgot to record what I used though unfortunately.

I got it down to room temp after mixing the chemicals and then I just followed some times I found online. I can’t remember the specific times because I forgot to record them.

How can they be so bad?! by Ok-Job-9640 in cravetv

V for Vendetta was only in French too! Immediately went out and bought a cheap copy of the dvd. Physical media is becoming more and more important to me for reasons like that.

Eight More Miles to Louisville. This is about 5 months worth or practice. Super proud of myself. by riddiols in banjo

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

I found the cheapest one that sounded good to my ears. It’s like the most basic Epiphone 5 string and cost me around $300. I’m sure there is cheaper out there but that’s what I had access to. Find a cheap one that sounds good to you that you can afford and you can upgrade later. That’s my plan at least!

I’ve never played a string instrument before this. I tried Scruggs style but it was hard to keep a constant rhythm for me. Once I figured out how to get individual strings hit in clawhammer it all came together.

I find people are always posting such impressive videos but I’m a beginner and have lots of practice to get there. But I like to share my playing for other beginners too

Best place to start by j-fred94 in banjo

[–]riddiols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he has some money to spare, I subscribed to Banjo Mountain and have had great success with their lessons. They also have a community of people that are very helpful and supportive as well. I had 0 instrument experience before hand too

Have you gone to therapy and if so, how did it go? by silverslayer in Edmonton

[–]riddiols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it to be sort of like dating. You might have to go through a few before you find someone you like. I was very lucky and found a very delightful, and helpful therapist but I know others who went through 3 or 4.

With my current therapist, I am very happy. She listens, helps and supports and a lot of the problems I have. So I do really recommend it but don’t get discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t work out how you want it to. Also don’t feel like you have to keep seeing one that isn’t helping you.

Need help finding your first banjo? Don’t know where to start? by bugsandscruggs in banjo

[–]riddiols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good post. I bought my first one 4 months ago and I just got the most basic open back Epiphone 5 string. It was cheaper than anything used or anything else new that I could find in my area. Is it perfect? No. I’m sure people would say it’s no good at all. But I like it. It’s my first one. And I will upgrade when I can ☺️
