I’ve played and given up the mandolin several times over tge past several years. Longest continuous before now was maybe three months. What I’ve learned through my own learning process is:

1. Practice in time. Even if it’s slow.
2. Playing with backing tracks helps a ton
3. Posture is key. On my current streak of playing I was able to go from playing the melody of kids songs to the rhythm of some grateful dead songs (at 80 bpm instead of 140 bpm) after spending time watching videos of how to hold and sit. I then had to relearn all my fingerings but it didn’t take nearly as long this time.
4. Sucking is just part of learning anything new. I guess one either enjoys the act of improving independent of the current result or one doesn’t.

Post script: The reason I quit when I do is because I become frustrated with plateaus. I now believe a lot of these plateaus came from bad mechanics. My pinky could not reach the 7th fret no matter how much I practiced. I could not switch chords without destroying my rhythm or muting extra strings etc.

Cool thanks!

What bands do you recommend that are of the newer style?

I keep my dropouts free ebooks in Dropbox and use moonreader + to read them and sync across devices. Until I lost my library in a hdd failure I had 10k books self hosted with calibre and that was straight forward and worked well. I do also use Google Books for things I buy and like it although it lacks some QoL features of moonreader

I use libby and have three cards. My county library, my city and a city I used to live in. Between those three I almost constantly have new books to read. I’ve read 19 book so far this year. All of them new release literary fiction and 16 of them through libby. With the right card it is really good. I went from dling 10 books a month to 1 a month so far this year.

Electric kettle. Boiling water. Infuser basket in tea pot for 3 - 5 minutes depending on the type of tea. Drink pot and repeat around 1400

Does it play other 3d movies? According to the part of the article I could read before the paywall it sounds like the other headsets handle porn just fine

If I break it, I buy a better tool. If I lose it, buy a cheap one.

They would force ID check from anyone accessing from inside Florida. Once they left Florida they could access freely. A 16 yr old from Georgia on spring breakin Florida would have to age verify until they went home, at which point the verification would no longer be required.

I don’t know why but I’ve been an ER nurse for ten years and the closest I’ve figured is they want help but then get resentful of being told what to do. A lot of mean patients know they aren’t doing the right stuff at home but due to factors they feel ( rightly or wrongly) out of their control they end up with us and are now being told how to act by someone a third of their age! It’s what I tell myself anyway. Remember, we usually just see people on their worst days. The next patient might be nice. If not, the one after that.

If it’s illegal in the state for residents then it will be illegal for those traveling too

Every man has a Molly

Once I figured out how to get it back into my penis I became unstoppable.

I use Fen with no problems as my backup when stremio isn’t working or if I want to watch a legit HD 30gb movie

Fubo is expensive but has almost every sport I want to watch. My in laws have it and it beats the premium cable packages for cost and convenience. Sorry to sound like an ad but if people have only seen fubo’s ads they might not realize that this is a streaming service that can be worth the money if you like all sports all the time. Fuck the peacock exclusive. Fuck the prime exclusive. Fuck the apple TV exclusive. Sports should be easy to watch!

Thanks, I ended up doing a version of this. Nextpvr when set up correctly handled everything well. The end result to the original query is there is no free epgs out there that work, Xmltv is the best to generate epgs, and that I lose sight of problems and get obsessed with solutions.

They always make services worse before they end them. Maybe instead of incorporating ai they will release a new, not compatible with existing hardware, assistant and they are moving teams around.

Dissent is always eventually commodified in a capitalist system. Your hipster example is great but also think Black empowerment a la Beyonce. Just another trip to the simulacra

I, for one, can not see your results

At some point in the last two years I completely stopped using Google search in browser and just use Google maps to find businesses or ddg for searches. Actual Google search just has too many sponsored or promotional links
