There’s application in responding to requests for information quickly, in a mesh network, perhaps in presence of malactors. For example the medical records of injured US soldiers are stored in and delivered using a block chain solution.

There’s application in a hypothetical currency free from the corruption of governance. For example, an orange President couldn’t print gobs of money during a pandemic, devaluing your currency, then hand that money to corporations.

Seatbelts - Gotta Knock a Little Harder

In the future?

He always takes the bait. I think it’s funny.

WaPo has been quite biased for quite some time. Rather than giving you a fish, another flawed source that’ll also likely fall victim to profit motive, I’d rather encourage you to glean what’s meritable from whatever sources you may encounter.

The tools that best help me do that are the book Manufacturing Consent and a course on logic. I found both online for free and completed them by myself. But, there’s been more value in subsequent group discussion. If you’ve an opportunity to learn as a group then favor it.

Ignorance is bliss.

Ignorance is bliss.

What’s meritable often isn’t popular. By what metric should comments be rated?

Many will rate high. By what means can the set be further narrowed?

But, squid, you don’t have any friends on the .ml mod team else you’d have already called in a favor.

Undergrad. You’ve no degree and no work experience. Perhaps the most important thing you’re going to learn from this project is humility.

All his conclusions and logical fallacy align with the neoliberal flavor of the day. Why the fuck would you start a discussion, squid, while claiming this isn’t the place to discuss? Typical.

I suggest you buy a pressure washer, a good practice pad snare, and a set of 5A drumsticks.

Learn to read music, rim strike, roll and paradiddle, stick control and technique. Drum sets come and go. But, you can enjoy stick control and technique with a pair of sticks and a brick.

emergency services use the same roads and your protest will kill someone

As soon as law enforcement stops killing us for funsies I’ll start caring about the vague hypothetical that a neoliberal gets hurt by accident.

Expired VFR pilot here.

When driving at night a car has lights on the front, sides, and rear. All of them, including the headlights, are present so that others can more easily maintain visual seperation from that car to avoid a collision.

Aircraft have lots of incredible technology and talented air traffic controllers that help keep pilots and passengers safe. But, with a single exception, pilots will ignore everyone and everything to maintain visual seperation.

From one aircraft it’s often hard to see another aircraft, even during the day. There’s lights on aircraft so they can be seen, just like cars.

The exception is a TCAS RA.

Test if learning the drums is going to suck or be something that you’ll enjoy by trying to learn to play a basic beat.

Sitting position.

Assume your dominant arm is your right.

Three actions:

1. Left Hand pats the left knee: snare drum
2. Right Hand pats the right knee: hi-hat
3. Right Foot taps the ground: bass drum

Count the beats: Out loud count, at regular intervals, “one and two and three and four and”: four beats counted as eight eight notes that comprised a measure.

Combine the actions with the count:

One: hi-hat and bass

And: hi-hat

Two: hi-hat and snare

And: hi-hat

Three: hi-hat and bass

And: hi-hat

Four: hi-hat and snare

And: hi-hat

Some people can learn this in less than a minute. When I started playing drums it took me roughly ten minutes. If this takes you ten minutes then you’re probably not going to enjoy what comes after.

If you’re faster then that then you should still not begin with a drum set. Instead, buy a snare practice pad and sticks, learn to read music with them, then learn to roll and paradiddle. That’ll keep you busy for a long time. This is how people learn to play with buckets and trash for a set. The expensive drum set comes after learning stick control and technique on the practice pad snare.

You left out a core argument against high-priced art: A large proportion of transactions have the underlying intent of money laundering, illegal kickbacks, and tax avoidance.

Don’t tell him his shallow neoliberalism is flawed under penalty of bot down votes and ban. He’s not a healthy person.

Do any holy books actually describe or prescribe ‘praying hands’? If so, what do they have to say about it?

Hinduism originated in the Indus River valley as a collection of oral traditions for a couple millennia. Then, 3000-3500 years ago, the Sanskrit word “namaste”, meaning “bowing to you”, and it’s hands-together pose was documented in what’s today the Hindu Vedas.

In the Vedas it symbolized the connection of the human and divine. Today “namaste” is commonly used as a respectful greeting. Instead of “namaste”, in America we might say, “Thank you for inviting me to your home.”
