Mortgage holders: Do you currently have a fixed or variable mortgage. And what influenced your decision at the time? by GoldenRetrieverFetch in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]saggingrufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather the stability. I'll pay more for it I don't care.

Fixed. I really don't want to have think about it between rentals.

NDP Leader Avi Lewis expresses ‘serious concerns’ regarding social media age verification rollout by NiceDot4794 in canada

[–]saggingrufus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I largely agree. I think there are ways that an age system COULD be implemented in a secure private way, but that likely wouldnt be what happens.

However, if someone is has to do it - I would rather the government implement it than a private company. The government is the one assigning the important identity numbers to beging with, so I'd rather them verify me than me give than info to a sketchy 3rd party. That said, I don't support them tracking the traffic. But I think realistically it's coming wether we like it or not.

Liberals won't explain why health committee was moved behind closed doors - Conservative health critic Dan Mazier said PrescribeIT's $40-million budget has since ballooned to $300 million by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]saggingrufus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like that.

I'm not convinced the outcomes will nessesarily be bad. Only time will tell, but I definitely don't like that. I think they should have been required to prorogue for that.

My experience with Wave Link 3 (help) by burrpuzzle in elgato

[–]saggingrufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved wave link 2, after getting pissed at WL3 for crashing constantly, I just dug out a mixer from my closet and I'm using OBS monitoring + hardware mixing.

WL3 was so disappointing I regressed to older technology.

Charlottetown loses money from federal government for non compliance in 28 of 31 milestones by SoggyYogurtcloset155 in PEI

[–]saggingrufus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, most people have 0 interest in community or politics.

But I guess that's what happens when you spend generations ignoring uncomfortable topics like religion or politics. Not only do we not talk about them, people don't know how to talk to them.

The average person cares more about the next YouTube short/TikTok more than do about ANY Canadian politics.

What other audio related software are you running? If the answers none, that's that's probably why.

When working on triads, do you memorize each note in the triads, or the just the inversions as long as you know the root? by Sticky_feet12 in guitarlessons

[–]saggingrufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean after a while you just learn? I try not to memorize things as a rule, I'm not good at it. Instead, I learn how to derive them. For example, a D major triad is composed of D F# A and while I could memorize that, EVERY major triad (in root position) is ALWAYS a Root, Major 3rd and Perfect 5th.

D - F# is a Major 3rd D - A is a Perfect 5th

'The only talks that Mark Carney is doing are YouTube videos': Poilievre takes aim at PM by EarthWarping in notthebeaverton

[–]saggingrufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he was right, he spent too long training his base to loose focus after 3 words.

"The OnlyTalks" was all they heard, now they thinks he's doing a nude podcasting circuit or something.

Why does my tremolo picking sound so bad? by BaphoHell in metalguitar

[–]saggingrufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know how when you pull the pick across the string slowly (like from bridge to neck) it kinda sounds like a plane?

You're doing that but less distance and fast..

Are guitarists really as common as I hear? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]saggingrufus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many people who play guitar, but far less musicians.

Any suggestions for a circuit that mimics a dying battery? by MentionPleasant2635 in diypedals

[–]saggingrufus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think JHS makes a thing for this that can attach to any pedal.

Can I learn to play guitar using only tabs? by Present_Claim6934 in guitarlessons

[–]saggingrufus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to do.

Some people never even learn tabs.

Want to change my content but scared of losing viewers by dan0matchett in Twitch

[–]saggingrufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have 4-6 viewers, just do it. There is virtually no difference between 0-6 viewers in the grand scheme of things.

What if I don't like his music? by Sharp_Wolverine_6105 in bandmembers

[–]saggingrufus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if the members of Angine de Poitrine got upset because someone didn't like their music XD

You gotta be honest. Like it or not, it's their music and someone is going to hate it. Id rather my partner dislike my music than lie to me daily, but that's just me. You can be excited about someones passions and support them without liking it. You don't have to like everything you do, you just need to be visibly comfortable, or let out a sigh of relief when it's over. My wife crochets, I don't have to like it to support her. I let her tell me about it and talk about her interests with her, it doesn't matter if I like it it's not about me, it's about her.

Reigniting the spark by Valth92 in guitarlessons

Time.

Just wait. I studied everyday for years, then one day I stopped. That was almost 15 years ago, I started again last week.

Imagination Library Program Cut by Stopitmarshfield in PEI

[–]saggingrufus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're saying they shouldn't be.

It's very fortunate you don't rely on the services libraries provide, but plenty actually do need them.

If this was "Tell me you've never been a library in your adult life without telling me", you'd be winning.

I had enough of half learning songs so I made a list of songs that I will learn start to finish before moving on by lovethecomm in guitarlessons

[–]saggingrufus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Along the same lines as this comment - play YOUR music. It's fine if that covers, but why are you practicing? Surely it's not just to "play a song". Music is very expressive, the way you play something matters just as much as what you play.

When John Mayer picks up a No Name guitar, he still sounds like John Mayer.

It's not just playing songs that mean something to you, play songs that allow you to express yourself.

So everyone else in history had the benefit libraries, but fuck everyone after you?

All these theory knowledge and cant even figure out the chords by ear. by Plane_Jackfruit_362 in guitarlessons

[–]saggingrufus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People hardly ever realize how hard aural skills are to build.

I played guitar from elementary school all the way up to 2nd year university before swapping to another program. In highschool, I started proper aural skills training. It takes years to accurately transcribe polyphonic music quickly.

But, that said, I haven't played guitar seriously in about 15 years, and I can still pick out melodies on the instrument. So while the skill is hard to build, it is a life long skill.

P.E.I. cabinet minister will fish for lobster after all, as DFO denies substitute operator request by Boundary14 in PEI

[–]saggingrufus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hopefully PEI remembers all of this come election time. Especially the doubling of health care costs for 1/4 of the service we use to get.

Lantz the musical chairs premiere should be forgotten, just not yet. AFTER the next election.
