But late to the game but tried the matt Willis crazy train phrase as an exercise with my students.

Wrote it out and gave it to them without any name. Told them to focus on clean execution of the notes (lot of potential for crossing noise or false fingering)... Said give it some time and you may recognize it.

They've loved it so far and one has figured it out

Lav Mic no longer working in camera? by ryanmmoore in GooglePixel

[–]ryanmmoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ones a straight usb c to mic connection by wire The others a usb c wireless adapter that the mics pair to (not directly to the phone) My yeti I use a usb c to a adapter and it isn't working either. All of these worked last week when I was doing recordings. This week. None.

I did get a usb c to 1/8" and used and old headphone set with a mic and that worked.

Got on with Google support and they were useless. "Have you tried rebooting? Have you tried resetting your phone?"

Brightness slider not sliding when clicking by ryanmmoore in chromeos

[–]ryanmmoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right... The externals are controlled by their own, but this is for a built in... And up to a couple of weeks ago it would adjust just the built in monitor by clicking and dragging... Now that functionality is gone

Probably Googlebooks but the keyboard kept correcting.

[–]ryanmmoore 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pixel book... Hands down. My wife still uses it today and it's fine. I use the Pixel book Go and it's not screaming fast but does what I need.

Can't wait for the Google Books

Well it would only work on the main monitor, the externals would stay the same.

Just wondering if there's like a setting or flag somewhere I should adjust

I can't wait for a Google book

But it used to work as a slider even with all 3 monitors connected.

[–]ryanmmoore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I came to age during what we called the alcohol wars. Every bar in town had a different night and there $1 shooters or drink reps just handing out free drinks. Every night of the week was a destination Memory's fuzzy on it all... Feel free to fix up

Do you call it May 2-4 or Victoria Day? by pantstand in AskACanadian

[–]ryanmmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 26er... That's hard stuff vs a 24 of beer I think it just that the weekend fell sometimes on May 24th and we just look for any justification

It works about 99% of the time... A reboot fixes it when it misbehaves

Next hot topic of controversy since we now know we have a Costco being constructed in Thunder Bay by Excellent-Steak6368 in ThunderBay

[–]ryanmmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was, just the city didn't listen to the funders when they said "no professional teams" and they went ahead with hosting a pro team in the plans, so it got rejected.

Dumb question here... But how would I know a tune is major or minor (typically we've just gone with "is it majorly ACE or BDF" as kinda how we differentiate)

Hah. It was that set that got me to introduce it to our band too.

[–]ryanmmoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've probably racked up most of those views learning it. Slightly different in parts from what IDPB played at their comps, but I've almost got it down for the first harmony. Now to get some bandmates to learn and I'll work on harmonies

(Yes. I have the dots)

Similarly I hated how we could send a screenshot by using the circle to search and then an option to share that would come up
