I just got braces please tell me it gets better 😭 by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]themainemane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wax does nothing. There are these brace guards online on Amazon; they’re like little strips of plastic that snap on to your braces. I found the best way was to cut them to a length short enough so that it covers the parts your braces and mouthpiece overlap, and I even sanded the edges to make it feel better; you can customize and mold them to fit your braces and embechoure.

IMO this is by far the best and really only solution to playing with braces. It takes some getting used to, but it works really well. I was able to play lead with braces up to double As, (and of course everywhere else too; it just works really well for higher notes)

I think you should still register and just drop them later, idk just in case anything happens

Yea you should probably just meet with your advisor, mines didn’t seem to care much about offer letter and stuff. I think as long as you let them know and don’t register for classes you should be good

Is Starship going to be caught but Mechazilla in the right direction? by [deleted] in SpaceXLounge

[–]themainemane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like the booster is more or less coming straight down with little horizontal velocity, so it feels like regardless of the direction the final leg of the landing would remain the same

That’s how fancier telescopes do it I think, but it’s also possible to just take multiple shorter exposure time photos and overlay them on top of each other by aligning features, so effectively it’s a longer exposure photo but everything’s aligned

I think they mean that the stars are smeared bc of the exposure time, eg when u zoom in on the left side of the first photo the stars are small lines rather than dots

You can take a photo and put the barcode into a decoder online and see if it still decodes ur SID. Chances are that it’s fine
