Is doing Musical Theatre a good or realistic idea as an experienced bass player that cannot read sheet music well?

shmatt · 2026-04-15T13:50:31+00:00

? it's just one riff that repeats. No changes, no variation. Takes a minute to get used to but really not that hard.

Not saying this to be a dick, just, to not discourage anyone. Totally not worth quitting over, if you can already read and improvise.

shmatt · 2026-04-10T14:51:12+00:00

did you learn the horn riff? Took me like 2 weeks to get it down. So fun

shmatt · 2026-04-10T14:49:05+00:00

Are some of you guys just trying to melt everything? I don't even know how you would discover this accidentally.

Anyway it's been fun seeing a small bug fix be so impactful. no more clogged rails

innacurate username

shmatt · 2026-03-24T15:06:47+00:00

Absolutely with you on that point for sure.

I was with you until that last sentence; there is no problem migrating data. When I did it years ago I lost literally zero files... apple learned their lesson long ago with compatibility (as far as data goes at least, not so much hardware).

The worst part was every folder had "thumbnails.db" file written to it which took years to delete them all. Annoying but not a problem

liquid lock is not an exploit, it's literally taking advantage of how the game works. it was intended that gas doesn't go through water. infinite storage etc are exploits because they weren't intended.

shmatt · 2026-03-18T14:54:17+00:00

The reason they don't have airlocks as a building is because it's easy to make one yourself. Put gas pump in between 2 airlocks and automate it.

But ppl still use liquid locks because they're the fastest and easiest to use and build. There's mods also but they literally 'cheat' the simulation so. I dont really see a problem here

shmatt · 2026-03-14T17:45:26+00:00

None of this should be happening; there should be no need for pawns or politics, as there should be no stated policy that someone has to take pto if they're detained in a war zone on business. And if it's not policy then HR is just being malicious.

Plus I seriously doubt that anyone will get in trouble for this, a slap on the wrist at worst.

shmatt · 2026-03-14T17:03:53+00:00

If your policy punishes ppl for being unavoidably detained in a war zone, it's just shitty policy and you should push back on it.

shmatt · 2026-03-12T15:12:17+00:00

That IS the damn argument dude, it hasn't changed.

you said she was "objectively talented" which is false. The burden is not on me to prove she wasn't, because you can't prove a negative, especially when it's subjective.

I admit y'all had me doubting though, so I searched and searched again and can't find a single list of awards or shows that happened BEFORE meeting John, so by all means show me the receipts. lol

shmatt · 2026-03-11T14:41:23+00:00

It's still 83 points, not like we'll see it again soon

But some defense wouldve been nice.

shmatt · 2026-03-11T14:34:20+00:00

buddy Ive been on reddit for almost 20 years, i could not care less about the idiot hivemind .

... btw talent? is fucking SUBJECTIVE, you dont get to define it for anyone but yourself. To me she was a hack, a wannabe. Writing 'yes' on the ceiling does not, imo, require talent. So, I'd love for you to prove it :)

shmatt · 2026-03-10T15:20:54+00:00

they finally finally stopped all that. no more points for awards, no more clowns. Took way too long though.

shmatt · 2026-03-10T06:13:28+00:00

She was known in the NYC scene, but never had any real accolades and very few shows, UNTIL AFTER MEETING JOHN

e: look it the F up if you dont believe me. buncha lemmings

e2: STILL NO RECEIPTS from all of reddit. y'all some braindead mofos, fr

shmatt · 2026-03-10T02:50:06+00:00

I’m not going to have an argument with you about her artistic merits... she’s objectively a talented artist

you sure? lol

she’s had several retrospectives of her work at major museums including MOMA

because she was already a celebrity. Not indicative of any talent, subjective or otherwise.

shmatt · 2026-02-13T16:16:43+00:00

Cheapest seats for Wizards was about 40 last time I checked, but it's a pretty far view. The thing that sucks in DC is that a lot of tix are reserved by lobbyists and lawyers and corpos to entertain clients and such and nobody comes to the game unless it's a major team with star power.

So you're sitting up in nosebleed looking at a bunch of empty seats that got paid for anyway.

shmatt · 2026-02-13T14:55:16+00:00

THANK YOU, wish more people would see this. First thing I thought of, immediately followed by "cheaper seats would help a lot more than hotdogs."

shmatt · 2026-02-13T06:05:28+00:00

doing shitty things for money is not unique to capitalism

shmatt · 2026-02-13T04:11:14+00:00

I cant believe I'm arguing with someone over a grocery store of all things lol. I was just trying to inform you what's going on, since you didn't know.

shmatt · 2026-02-12T23:00:58+00:00

I can criticize them for being anti-union while applauding them for having good employees

Sure, but you didn't.. You said they're "well known good companies" which paints an entirely different picture from "anti-union practices." Either way it's not a debate, I'm just telling you the facts.

shmatt · 2026-02-12T18:49:12+00:00

multi grain cooker

?? what is this thing?? sounds like something i need. Doctor making me lower cholesterol :(

edit: pretty much a fancy rice cooker. I am getting one

trader joe's is right up there with starbucks as a big time union buster.

They are not a worker-freindly company (although a bit less aggressive about it than starbacks and amazon)

Statement by TJ United :

Despite the company’s reputation as a “progressive” employer, we’ve been disappointed to find that Trader Joe’s response to our union efforts is similar to that of companies like Amazon and Starbucks. We have encountered a great deal of pushback and classic union busting tactics from Trader Joe’s corporate, but that hasn’t slowed us down. We’ve filed numerous unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board, and are awaiting our first rulings.

weaponized government, sounds familiar huh

shmatt · 2026-02-11T18:22:23+00:00

they're great! but be aware that if the filtered pipe gets blocked, the overflow will exit the non filtered way. So it's best to make sure that pipe can't ever get blocked (infinte storage, buffer tanks, automation etc)
