Tenor guitar strung in a fourths-based tuning (DGBE, ADGC) and not fifths sounds much more like six string guitar, it’s how I usually tune mine. You can go full electric on them too.
Cigar box guitars can sound pretty damn good amped up as well, and are often much cheaper to get. I picked one up from this ebay seller almost a decade ago, and still enjoy playing it. He might only make three stringers now, but those are even easier to play. Or if you’re handy, you can even make them yourself.
Or try ukulele! Ukulele is awesome because the cords are a lot easier and you’ll become a strumming master since you won’t be concentrating so hard on the chords. And then later down the line it would give you a good foundation if you take a crack at guitar again
You are not kidding. IMO, everyone should start out with a four stringed instrument, they are fantastic. Move on to greater complexity later if you want to.
I failed out on my first attempt at guitar, it was just to much… then I lucked into a tenor guitar, and entered the four-string world of tons of one and two finger chords. Suddenly I could focus on rhythm and musicality, rather than making sure my fingers were doing half a bajillion gymnastic tricks per minute.
Four stringers are so much fun, doesn’t matter if it’s a ukulele, a cigar box guitar, a tenor guitar, whatever. Go get one and start having fun!
Me, and I’m pretty sure the guy I was replying to, were both talking about plastic recycling, not aluminum recycling, replying to OP statement: I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to it’s limited and finite recycle count.
Sorry, I thought that was clear from the context.
Right, 90%-ish of it never gets recycled at all, and the stuff that does can only go through the process a handful of times before it’s unusable.
I’m tired, boss. Tired of bein’ on the the app store, wantin’ to be lonely as an owl in the rain. I’m tired of always havin’ people annoying me, tellin’ me to give them new words. Mostly, I’m tired of people never memorizin’ the vocabulary. I mean, how many times can I give you “Cómo estás?” before you finally remember what it means, Cletus?
There’s too much misremembered - it’s like pieces of glass in my head, all the time, I’ve fed you the entire Spanish lexicon ten times, and you’ve learned three words. Can you understand?
I have two monitors but I do all my work on one the other is completely separate. Plays YouTube all day so that I have background noise to work with.
The Reddit antiwork community had quite a few ridiculous folks hanging out within it.
Not that getting to a post-scarcity society where people aren’t forced to work wasn’t a nice horizon-goal to have, but there are a million steps from where we are in the modern world to there, and a lot of those people wanted it done by next Tuesday. And then when you’d point out that was literally impossible, they’d stick their fingers in their ears and make noises. Needless to say, I didn’t try to stick around for long.
Non-neutral nouns have always struck me as odd. They provide no info gain whatsoever outside of actually providing a gender if you’re referring to a person or animal (for example, in Spanish, gato -> male cat, gata -> female cat). And in those situations, a short sentence can provide instant clarification if needed in a non-gendered language like English.
It’s a language feature built to be helpful in one use case, whilst simultaneously being worse in about a bazillion others. It’s a very odd choice.
Be really careful, I couldn’t tell which one exactly from your post, but as time goes on, you’re going to have to watch out either for people trying to drive a wooden stake through your heart, or chop your head off with a sword to steal your power. Just wanted to toss out a helpful FYI.
Yes, but not at the same scale. They’ve become masters at it in the modern age.
Yeah, we may be at checkmate. Unlike the end of the age of the robber barons, when we reformed capitalism in the late 1800s / early 1900s in the US… this time the capitalists have purchased enough politicians to stop reform completely and forever.
The best math teacher I ever had was my high school algebra / geometry / calculus teacher.
Our class format was 1) first half of class, students group together to practice the thing from the day before, 2) second half of class, new concept for the day is taught.
With the class format, his method was to deliberately block the board as much as possible when teaching the new material. He knew that when we got together in group the next day to review it, we'd basically have to teach ourselves what he introduced the day before using our textbooks and the main-point-scraps he allowed to shine through, and it would stick better that way. And it worked.
In effect, give them the resources, and teach them to teach themselves. Sounds odd and counter-intuitive, but it can work if you structure it well.
In order for us to vote for change, change has to be on the ballot.
Moreover, the ballot itself must change.
I totally agree wholeheartedly, Mr. Johns… oh, wait, you're not talking about yourselves? Never mind.

Declining your pet's rabies vaccine?
As in, your pet could contract rabies, bite or scratch you, and then you don't get the shot in time due to either denial, or you're too ignorant to see the symptoms of rabies in your pet, or they are displaying the more subtle symptoms and you don't catch it?
Even if you do catch it and treat yourself, now Fluffy has a fatal illness and has to die.
What an astoundedly stupid decision.
I bet if you asked him if he was a Bob's Burgers fan, he'd say yes and not be bothered at all that two of the lead female characters are played by men.
Red chicky has moondust all over her back, making it serve as a portal conductor.
I hear good things about Chimera OS feeling a lot like Steam OS when you're trying to get a similar experience for laptops, if that's what you're going for.
I just saw that they launched a new MMO with PC / Android cross play called Tarisland. But that’s literally all I have heard about it, I couldn’t tell you if it’s any good or not.
