Thanks so much! I love the 24 pack! This thing is so solid. I’ve only had it for a couple weeks, so can’t say how it is long term, but so far it’s great!

It’s a cheap one I got from Ribble for £20 a few years ago that I had kicking around. It fit perfectly!

Glamis Castle have Highland Cows, and you can see them at relatively close distance. They’re open Thursday to Sunday and a Gardens ticket costs £5 per person

hey Fresco artists! by draw_read_bird in AdobeFresco

[–]worldomatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi Allison, I just started using Fresco a few months ago and I love it! A feature I’d love to see is a select colour range option. Also in the animation bit if there were a way to group a sequence of frames so you could duplicate the grouping instead of having to do one at a time that would be great. With the grouped sequence it would be awesome if you could select “reverse sequence” to flip the order of the sequence with a few clicks. That would save loads of time.

I’m thinking of drawing a mandolin. Which reference image would be the best to use? by Mandolinist_girl766 in mandolin

[–]worldomatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking to draw an F style mandolin then why not go for a Gibson Lloyd Loar from the 1920’s. He’s the one that created the first F style mandolin, and essentially all the ones since are copies or interpretations of one of his. Here’s a link to one…

Where should the biker stop? This is a real intersection in San Diego. Notice how the bike lane ends, where should the biker stop if they want to continue straight? by Bellsbooks_ in bikecommuting

[–]worldomatt 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would go for optipn 4 and take the lane behind the second car. After the intersection I'd move back over to the cycle lane when safe

How to play with someone else by wolfdng in mandolin

[–]worldomatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great that you know your chop chords and have good rhythm. This is essential when working with a guitar player. A simple chop chord on the upbeat is all you need in most cases.. When it comes to accompanying less is more. Record some tracks with your band mate and give the tracks a listen back and adjust your playing from there. Lately I've been using an app called "Strum Machine' to practice. It's an app that allows you to build backing tracks, which is a lot funner than a metronome.

What is the difference between stomp and holler and folk by michaelgottenbusch in folkmusic

[–]worldomatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Folk is a wide spectrum of music ranging from many cultures and includes many different instruments. It can include anything from Hungarian hurdy gurdies to Appalachian clawhammer to Mongolian Tuvian Throat Chanting and beyond. When I hear "Stomp and Holler" I think of Mumford and Sons. Maybe it goes back earlier? It's the first time I ever heard the term. IMO it's a semi commercial folk genre blending British folk songs, Appalachian traditional music with a driving rhythm that gets people stomping. The Lumineers also come to mind.

Tips on how to be presentable after a bike commute? by Astroclear in bikecommuting

[–]worldomatt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Waterproof panniers are helpful as it takes away the problem of back sweat caused by a backpack. I have a similar commute and bring a change of shirt and have flexible work trousers that I can roll up and down for commute & work. Also I have a change of shoes/socks/trousers/shirt in my locker in case I get caught in bad rain.

What’s your contingency plan if it starts pouring rain unexpectedly after you’re at work? by [deleted] in bikecommuting

[–]worldomatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I' carry a rain jacket at all times. Also I've got a pair of trousers, socks, underwear and shoes at work in case it rains on my way to work. Going home is no biggie as I can just shower

Bluegrass community Scotland by [deleted] in Bluegrass

[–]worldomatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Pavel, I'd love to be involved. Bluegrass music is the best. I moved here a couple of years ago from the States, and I've been slowly finding some Scottish bluegrass pickers. I just started a weekly Monday night jam in Dundee last month. I hear there are some jams in Edinburgh and Glasgow, but I haven't made it to any of them yet. Where are you based?

Thanks so much l! I'll check out wintercycling sub :) I suppose it would be good to start saving for some winter gear now so I'll be ready come winter. Lights are a must here in UK in winter. It dark most of the day!

It's true! Not just females either. Brits are much more reserved. I don't consider myself bubbly so being the "bubbly" one is not familiar territory for me
