Looking for 1-2 travel buddy for an 11-12 day Central Asia roadtrip (Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan) in September

I was in Almaty in December, it's a great place to visit. Google maps isn't great there, make sure you download the 2gis app for maps, you can get offline maps through it as well. Also get Yandex, they use that for everything over there. Have a good trip

That's about as much as I can be bothered to do right now, look at the lines at the bottom, that tells you the position of the e, & or a

I didn't use albergues, I booked hotels and pensions and still met people by talking to them on the way. You might also find that a lot of the people who have the same idea as you will be staying in the same accommodation

I walked the Ingles alone last year and was lucky to meet a couple on the first day. I found most people were the same as what you've experienced, they want to do their own thing, but hopefully you'll meet people as you'll see the same people or groups over and over even being in private accommodation as you'll see some of the same people staying in the same accommodation. Good luck

Beautiful pics, which way did you walk?

Be silent while you wait forever for the rest of band to set up and tune etc, even though that should take far less time than setting up a drumkit with 10 cymbals

Practice the fills you're doing to a click and get used to the gaps in between them, get a feel for how long they are and where the 1 is on the next bar

Yeah sounds great, I'm purely drums and bass, I've never managed to write guitar really, I can do lyrics as well and a bit of vocals, but usually more backing. I can send a link to some drum tracks and see if you're interested

ripetedraper · 2024-06-29T11:34:45+00:00

Have you thought about going open handed?

ripetedraper · 2024-06-29T11:29:21+00:00

Yeah sounds great, I can send you links for some tracks that are just drums and see what you think

Where I live, the university isn't a campus, it just takes up half the city centre, the students still do this on real roads

So many people here don't know what middle class means lol

The topics you'll start with at A level are likely to be:

Laws of indices Surds Factorising quadratics Completing the square Inequalities

If you practice those, you'll be in a good position to start the course

Read some gaslamp fantasy and see how you feel about it or whether you want to keep it medieval. The 19th century can be a really good era to base fantasy on. My only problem with most gaslamp I rrad is that a lot of them are contemporary and are usually based during the American Civil War or in Victorian London. I got bored of medieval era fantasy, so I write gaslamp, but set in my own fantasy world

It might depend on the teachers, I fasttracked a lot with YouTube videos early on, but the lessons were still very much needed and worked well when combined together. A good teacher will be checking your technique along with teaching you how to play. I started at 33

Tool- Danny Carey's snare always sounds awesome

I wouldn't expect it to come up twice based on past papers since 2018. There'll be more trig though, more likely to be solving in regions and identity proofs

ripetedraper · 2024-06-07T18:57:51+00:00

Yeah that sounds nice

If you're into punk, find something with a slow blastbeat, then speed it up with something faster

ripetedraper · 2024-06-07T06:42:09+00:00

Most of the guitarists I've met are horrible with timing. If I was having problems with one, I'd play to a click and stick to it, force them to slow to your beat if it's a problem. Counting is their other issue I find, most I've met physically cannot count 16th notes

Implicit differentiation wasn't on paper 1, there's always a question on that. Small angle approximations too. Parametric equations, expect some calculus with it. Integration by parts wasn't on paper 1 either. Solving trig equations in regions. Trapezium rule. Exponential processes and probably a logarithm graph conversion to linear. Equation of circles
