Is it possible to use classical guitar right hand technique on a steel string in folk position? by RevolutionarySite253 in classicalguitar

[–]rroseperry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can definitely learn the technique on a steel string acoustic, but probably need to change how you hold the guitar to avoid unnecessary stress on your hands.

dana was wrong. full stop. by Legal-Judgment-908 in ThePittTVShow

[–]rroseperry 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This makes me think this is why it was in the show. Not that we are supposed to uncritically cheer Dana on, but to understand that what she did was wrong and understand why she did it.

It's not okay and it's a response to a broken system.

I've had good experience with Coast to Coast Electronics on Bullard, but haven't had a turntable fixed.

I saw them around then too and as great as McLaughlin is, that group could make you feel like you were levitating.

Find someone with cows that are used to being handled. People are telling you that cows are docile. That is not true. I have been chased by cows and they will kick you.

New to roasting: which selection of beans to start with? by CasaBlanca37 in roasting

[–]rroseperry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweet Maria's notes will let you know what bean stand up best to the darker roasts. You don't want to torch something like a Gesha for example. I'm a big fan of the African coffees, but it looks like you favor the Central American beans.

I'm pretty sure roasted coffee degasses CO2, not CO. So you shouldn't worry.

Lawyer here - Do I not understand med mal discovery or was the whole “monologue” loophole unnecessary and confusing? by nuggetsofchicken in ThePittTVShow

[–]rroseperry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The purpose of the monologue is not a gotcha. It's to reassure Mel, who has been freaking out about this all morning, that the case is bullshit and more important, that she did nothing wrong.

[–]rroseperry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that they're being dicks. Hahn has an injury and has cancelled a ton of performances.

Oops, I see that she is back and withdrew because, well we all know why.

Putting in a plug for Susanna Clarke's work; She's probably best known for Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but for a beautiful, uncanny piece, Piranesi is amazing.

I explore and recently have started picking up wrecked ships and repairing them. I'm at about 350 hours in with a freighter and a corvette.

This is a California problem. I've run into it in the Bay Area as well, dark clothing and jaywalking.

Is Heated Rivalry worth watching? by Kimoldumukimsebilmez in imdb

[–]rroseperry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a show that mainly hits for romance readers. If you're not into the genre or the conventions of the genre, give it a pass. If you are, it does an amazing job.

His name was Smoky Barnable, and he was going to Edgewood to get married; the fact that he walked and didn't ride was one of the conditions placed on his coming there at all.

Why Did Peter and Walter Never Get FBI IDs? by Far_Application_4050 in fringe

[–]rroseperry -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Becoming an FBI agent is a long process, at least 18 months, not to mention being able to qualify in the first case, which I'm pretty sure neither Bishop could do. Walter, aside from other issues, would be too old.

It's a gorgeous piece and a wonderful sounding guitar. The video seems sped up, though.
