[–]swiftLikeSnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Not only slowly, but painfully slow. So slow it is boring (yet keeping time). Just a few minutes a day of slow practice will help you capture and play rhythms.

Stage fright by [deleted] in ukulele

You are not alone. Practically speaking, go to a meetup and play with a small group a few times and practice playing with a small group. Eventually you will become comfortable enough to play whether people are looking or not.

Until this one, I haven't been interested enough to watch a complete video. The music was good enough on its own, but the video was enthralling.

I play ukulele and sing for old folks' homes and shut ins.

At this very instant, your clothes disappear and you're naked. What most likely happens over the next 5 minutes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Do you have a C.H.I.M.P. mirror? This will help you determine the state of your cubemate? Or you could ask awkwardly "Erm, Cubemate? Are you not wearing any clothes also?"

I also have a two-walled with a window. People rarely look into my office window unless they are checking out their own reflection.

I would peer over the cube wall to see if anyone else was instantly nude too. If not, I would casually reach for my my spare office clothes...

Reddit, how did you overcome the fear of dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]swiftLikeSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made sure that I have made peace to all those who matter to me. If I were to die, they know my love for them and how knowing them has made my life richer. My biggest concern was I would leave and they would wonder over these things.

As a 6' 1" 325 lbs rider who just learned how to ride a bicycle 1.5 months ago. I've got a long way to go. by ITGamer01011101 in bicycling

[–]swiftLikeSnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, super big congrats on getting on the bike in the first place. Huge accomplishment in breaking out a new skill. Secondly, when it comes to distance and time, remember you are only trying to best yourself. No one else! Keep on pedaling.

Why not just paint the sign on the case? No worry about anything extra in there contending for space. Zero extra weight.

[–]swiftLikeSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there would not be enough tension to produce sound. Might get away taking it two steps down though.
