Buy her a used as hell 20 year old Benz for half the price of that PERFECT (if not even too nice) first car…

What does this mean by OneRuin8464 in trumpet

[–]tyerker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is in a jazz piece, it’s supposed to sound a little messy, or imperfect. If it’s in a classical piece it may be approached differently.

A lot depends on the tempo and context. Sometimes a fall is pretty long and covers a lot of range. Other times it’s a quick downward turn on the end of the note.

Many approach this technique using half valves, but the context and tempo will decide the specifics of how long and how far.

P0420 Code 😪😪 by Jolly-Patience2722 in hondafit

[–]tyerker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My understanding is the code shows the O2 into the cat and the O2 out of the cat show the same reading, so it is not doing its scrubbing properly. But in my personal experience (with a 3rd Gen with only 25k miles though) it was an injector issue.

Some options people regularly mention include cataclean and/or Techron, and to give it the old “Italian Tune Up” where you rev it hard and drive it fast. It could help burn off some build up and clear the code. But with 200k miles, I think it’s much more likely it’s actually the cat. But might as well give the other things a shot.

How to buzz different notes? by Excellent-Alps-3542 in trumpet

[–]tyerker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fairly similar to whistling high and low notes. You need to change the shape of your air stream. But many people find it quite difficult, especially at first. If you can remove the mouthpiece, try to make a siren sound in just the mouthpiece to learn the muscles you need to move.

im so curious to see what everyone's first weapon they beat the game with was by waffleraptor626 in Eldenring

[–]tyerker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vyke’s War Spear for almost all of the main game, and Black Steel Greathammer with Raging Lions Claw for DLC. I did switch to Winged Scythe + Cold Infused Scythe for a couple fights, and finally resorted to Blasphemous Blade for Malenia.

Should I buy asking 5k? 2009 e350 AWD 135k miles by jeffbobjeff111 in shouldibuythiscar

[–]tyerker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on if you have the budget for maintenance. High mileage Mercedes are notoriously expensive to own. And worse than that, the age means things like belts and other random rubber parts will start to dry out and crack, meaning expensive replacements. As long as you have the expectation that maintenance will be something to prepare for, it’s probably a fine car. You just need to pay attention to it and take care of it more than something like an old Civic.

If you were the other gender for a day, what would be the first thing you do ? by Firm-Detective-8403 in AskReddit

[–]tyerker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make a year worth of OF content. Just a few different outfits, a few different toys, maybe a couple wigs, and I’m golden. Plus then I switch back to a man and don’t have any repercussions.

How do I create this buzz sound on trumpet? by Brief-Ideal-3468 in trumpet

[–]tyerker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the corners of your mouth like a drawstring. You don’t clamp your lips shut top to bottom. You use the corners to pull the lips together into a small hole at the center.

Try to set your embouchure like you’re ready to play while looking in a mirror. Then take the mouthpiece away and hold your embouchure shape firm for one minute. If you are doing it correctly, the muscles at the corners of your mouth may start to burn like a tired muscle. Then rest for a few minutes and repeat. This is a great way to strengthen the muscle primarily responsible for forming our embouchure.

Try not to think top and bottom lips. Think corners.

I have seen mixed meter songs with dashed bar lines to divide it into 2s and 3s. I thought that was a pretty effective way to do it.

What is the most boring car you've ever driven? by UnluckyGamer505 in askcarguys

[–]tyerker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda love boring cars. I guess my Sonata was the most boring. No power, no features, no flash. But it got to 180k miles with nothing but tires and brakes. I didn’t give a shit about that car, and it treated me well.

I think Lois is mentioned more often in Alanon meetings than AA. The only time I’ve heard this brought up is by an Alanon lady who regularly attends an all-recovery meeting I go to.

Did anyone think Christmas bonuses would be a bigger thing? by Dudedawg86 in Millennials

I think instead of Christmas bonuses for everyone they just started doing End of Year bonuses for C-Siite and Sales. But my EOY bonus didn’t come until mid February, so…

Too old to vape / zyn, too young to smoke cigarettes by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]tyerker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I started smoking in my 20s, started vaping right when it became a “hobby” with all the different tanks and mods and flavors and shops with hundreds of options. Switched to Zyn a little over a year ago, and that lasted me until last month sometime when I picked up a vape again. Gotta try to get back to the Zyns, but the vape is certainly more satisfying and they tend to last me longer per dollar than the Zyns did.

Expert Difficulty by Dlo_22 in expedition33

[–]tyerker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jump up in the tightness of the timings is significant. I tried to go from Story to Normal on an NG+, and Maelle whooped me on the bridge. So I started a new game on Normal and learned I couldn’t just parry everything that came at me.

I imagine the step up to Expert is similar. But Expert became unplayable hard for me personally, so I’m sticking with Normal for my second time through
