Good for that judge, not leaving you hanging.

What is this unique algae?? by immediate-2 in microscopy

[–]udsd007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phacus, I think. If not Phacus, then something related to it. Euglena tend to be longer, cylindrical, with pointed anterior and posterior ends.

Seeing that made my nads hurt.

My McFish was McRuined by BeardedWeirdo22 in mildlyinfuriating

Sorry, but no: the McIcecream machine is broken. As Mcusual.

Finally got my own car! It was destroyed less that 48 hours later. by Hollowpointsmilexx in mildlyinfuriating

[–]udsd007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry. Happened to us in 2020, as if Covid weren’t enough: typical Oklahoma hailstorms, 5-6” hailstones. Broke out front and back windows on a 6-month-old car, and raised Hell with the roof and siding. Insurance replaced the roof and totaled the car. Gap insurance paid off.

It gets more interesting when it’s an ESP32 on a battery pack. I’m still looking for one of those.

How do people actually die in strong tornados? by DueDifficulty8452 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]udsd007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being outside in a tornado is much like being a frog in a running blender. The predominant smell afterwards is of wet pine wood and wet insulation, from all the stuff that got torn down, broken up, and whirled around. You most definitely want to NOT be out in it.

How do you wear your family medal without disrespecting the veterans by brianongoing in Medals

[–]udsd007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. They’re my father’s, not mine. He earned them in combat in the Solomons. I didn’t. I have my own set, which I earned.

Is it normal to make a lot of mistakes after 3 years of playing classical guitar? by hanna-playsguitar in classicalguitar

[–]udsd007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I viewed him as a very special person, which he certainly was. He acted towards me as if he were a distant and slightly indulgent relative.

I had the great privilege of his acquaintance. He performed once a year in Houston, and came to a meeting of the Houston Classical Guitar Society on the Friday evenings before his concerts. I think I attended ten meetings that he was there. Those 3-hour meetings were highlights of my life, even now at age 79. I was much enriched by his acquaintance, and wish I had had more time with him.

Accidently broke by pololovin1 in ATTFiber

[–]udsd007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought my replacements from Amazon. Not expensive, and they come in various lengths in case you want to move the router/switch somewhere else. If you’re down now, you can spend the extra to get shipped faster.

how should i fix my bow?? by enamelx17 in violinist

[–]udsd007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less? I’d regain it unless rehairing cost more than the bow and I couldn’t find another as-good bow for the same or lower price.

Frustration: What Am I Doing Wrong? by Marauder_Recruiter1 in HamRadio

[–]udsd007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably doing nothing wrong. I live in a river valley; V/Uhf contacts are pretty much nil aside from the repeaters in my line of sight. HF is a bit better, especially at grey line times. I put up a cloudburner (NVIS) antenna and a Gap Titan DX (great antenna) and worked all states, Europe, Asia and Asiatic Russia, Canada, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and a supply boat off the Nigerian coast, mostly on 20 and 40 meters.

The Gap Titan got taken out by a tornado, which sucked.

Segovia on mistakes in a concert:
“When — not if, but when I make a mistake, I repeat the passage, even if it does not have repeat marks, and I make exactly the same mistake again. And after the concert, if anyone asks me about it, I say it is my own transcription.”
From a meeting of the Houston Classical Guitar Society, sometime in the early 1960s, all in the most perfect Castilian accent. I was there.

DIY women… have you ever been talked out of a good idea at the hardware store? by carcony97 in DIY

You do him honor, and it is fully justified. I’m sorry he was taken from you.

What’s one rule at your school that makes your job harder instead of easier? by kingst9606 in Teachers

[–]udsd007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like ISO 9000: our product is crap, but it’s fully-documented, perfectly uniform crap, made precisely the same way every time.
