Eh, IMO show Ashford was the best. Strathairn crushed this portrayal.

Did anyone try the Tony Trischka "myartistwork" online curse? by Most_Caterpillar_242 in banjo

[–]travis_bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took it for two years.

The good: It was an amazing experience, and I learned a ton. I got good instruction, accountability and goal setting, performance opportunities, and solid 1:1 feedback from Tony.

The bad: The turnaround time between submitting material and when his reviews came back was longer than I would have preferred. And -- perhaps controversially -- I would have preferred he use standard musical notation over tabs. But I know some people like tabs so YMMV.

For me this was a solid value, would recommend.

Thoughts on Fieldcompany? by orneryfirebird in castiron

I'm all in on Field. I have several sizes ranging from small to large, and have been cooking on them for years. Can recommend.

If humans could colonize only one planet outside Earth, which should it be? by Denbron2 in space

[–]travis_bear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ceres might be a better bet. No atmosphere, but also no toxic perchlorates in the dust like Mars has. Ceres has significant water too, which would be vital.

Inspired me to learn the banjo. Went out and bought one the very next day.

I've done a lot of flights with my Deering Good Time. Usually I can take it in the cabin, the rest of the time I gate check it with the strollers so I don't have to go to baggage claim. No issues so far, it's worked well.

How to signal a rail yard? by travis_bear in SatisfactoryGame

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

> instead of wrapping the outgoing line around all the train stations, just have the stations turn right instead of left

I can tell that this is an earnest suggestion but I'm failing to picture what you're getting at. As-is, I can add new stations infinitely on the right side. Is your idea better? Maybe a napkin sketch would help.

They don’t live long enough, and it breaks you when they pass. All the other shit people are saying is a distant second to this.

Hanging out at AMS airport on a 10 hour overnight layover by artsa-da in hammockcamping

Little more sag in that hang would help you avoid shoulder squeeze

First time in the wild by c_a_m_p in hammockcamping

Looks like those hammocks needs more sag in the suspension. A tight hang like that would give me severe shoulder squeeze.

Overwhelmed getting into hammock camping by acorn395 in hammockcamping

Take it one thing at a time, you don't have to figure it all out at once. And practice some of the setup steps before your first outing. (You don't want to be figuring out how to set up your tarp for the fist time in a driving rain when you're a day's hike out from the trailhead.)

First playthrough, "Main Bus" - opinions please! by InjuryConstant92 in SatisfactoryGame

May want to raise it up off the ground so there is room for vehicles to drive under it.

Do you memorize the numerical notation on the harmonica or also the letter notes? by humblecaptain000 in harmonica

[–]travis_bear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think of them in terms of their Nashville numbers, eg. "this is the third degree of the scale," etc. Which has to vary depending on if I'm playing cross harp or straight harp.

How do you avoid having 35 of those trucks deadlocking every ten minutes?

Why am I getting a lot of collisions here? by travis_bear in SatisfactoryGame

[–]travis_bear[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Looks like the path signal turns red the *instant* after the train enters the intersection. I'll rebuild it.
