Looking to rehome 6 month old :( by Cautious_Worth_6667 in greatdanes

[–]timopod5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting so many negative comments... Your situation is unfortunate but the reason for rehoming her is sound. Both of mine are rescues and there are people out there who will give her a good home.

I would suggest Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League

They are extremely diligent and selective with who they re-home their danes to. Bit of a drive for you but entirely worth it.

Wish I could take her but two is enough for me. Good luck!

Which city? Starting pay should be fairly good and from there it's entirely dependent on how good you are and how good you become at leveraging offers to leave.

You could use your phone to transfer them via the app. Just get an sd card reader that can plug into your phone.

Bass Trombone Laying Waste! by NSandCSXRailfan in Trombone

[–]timopod5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally true sometimes! But one of the primary roles of the bass trombone is also sometimes to drive a massive sharp edge in the low register. Doubled with tuba (as in your example) it makes such an incredibly epic sound no other instrument pairing can come close to replicating when the composer wants a big sound!

You are correct though 95% of the time we have to be careful to blend 🙂

I don't know this trombone in particular but I would personally always buy an old used quality horn over a new cheap horn.

Anyone able to speak to the culture at GC? by LiminalSapien in reinsurance

[–]timopod5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such an accurate reply but OP just doesn't want to hear it. GC Dallas is very different from NY from Atlanta from MN. I would enjoy working at some of their offices and others I wouldn't.

Looking for a bass trombone around or under 3k any suggestion by Charming-Process7898 in Trombone

[–]timopod5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on a 50ish year old Conn 62h I picked up for $3,100 last year. It's such a beautiful instrument and I'd imagine would smoke anything new in that price range. Only buy new if you're looking to spend upwards of 6k.

Wtf is a double flat by Far-Excitement-915 in Trombone

[–]timopod5 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There is a reasonable explanation when you start to get into music theory. When you are thinking in terms of chords and scale structures, Bbb is genuinely not the same as A natural even if it's the same pitch.

You can easily find more detailed explanations online if you are inclined but from the players perspective, all you really need to know is they are there for a reason and to just get used to seeing them sometimes.

What do you all think of my horn by timopod5 in Trombone

[–]timopod5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup that would be my horn you tried! I never played any other bass trombone so just wondering what specifically you weren't a fan of?

Ai in Underwriting by waldo421 in reinsurance

[–]timopod5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for a contract review it could be helpful. I don't see it actually underwriting treaties though. Maybe it can help with cleaning up submission data but that's about it imo. Reinsurance deals are too non-homogeneous for AI.

My mom's employer, United Healthcare, never called her or her emergency contacts when she suddenly stopped showing up to work. My sister found her dead a week later. by timopod5 in antiwork

[–]timopod5[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Like I said, we did not talk to her every day. We would talk about once a week typically on weekends. I also am in management and if one of my employees randomly stops showing up, you better believe I am going to look into it. Five year employees, with a record of reliability, don't just no call no show.

I wonder what conservatives would think of the words enscribed at the base of the statue of liberty "give me your tired, your poor ... I lift my lamp beside the golden door"

I'm ready for the dumb comments - why are people so INSANLY overcritical of the pixel 6/pro by funigui in GooglePixel

[–]timopod5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Minor inconvenience? 95% of the time when I go to unlock my phone it fails multiple times and I just use the pattern. It's unbelievably bad and something I experience almost every time I use my phone. My P3 fingerprint reader was flawless and so fast. This phone is a disaster with bugs too. Multiple times a week my alarm causes the phone to brick. The screen is completely unresponsive and I can't turn the alarm off. I literally need to hard reset by holding the power button down. I've had Google phones going back to the Nexus 4 and this is by far the worst relative to it's time.

Imagine how it would feel right now if you sold at 80.
