What “science”? Answers in genesis? lol But there’s nothing “militant” about disagreeing with, or even ridiculing, someone’s beliefs. That’s not “militancy”. That’s just a function of living in a free society where open discourse occurs. That’s not actually how it works. Nobody takes anyone’s...

Nobody brought up Islam because the article in OP isn’t about someone converting to Islam. But if it makes this space feel safer, I assure you that my feelings towards Christianity are the same as they are towards Islam - or astrology, homeopathy, human sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl, etc. Computer...

Evolution is probabilistic and can be accurately modeled. It is not a purely “random” process. We’ve established through myriad, reproducible experiments that this is indeed possible and even highly probably. We have established a molecular history for many of the complex organs that...

1. Nobody serious believes this. Acknowledging that there are things we do not, and possibly cannot, know about the early or pre-singularity universe is not the same as believing “something can spontaneously come from nothing”. 2. A lack of a definitive explanation concerning the origins of...

Even smart people believe stupid things sometimes. Been that way for about two-thousand years my guy.

1. The SSA database uses COBOL, which does not have a date type, but rather codes dates to a reference point, most commonly May 20, 1875. If birthdate information is incomplete, you end up with erroneous age information. 2. This screenshot lists ~400 million people marked as alive in the SSA...

Except itself DOGE is not a cabinet-level government agency. It’s a temporary federal contractor housed under the USDS. Seeing as both USDS and the department of treasury are housed under the executive branch, and we already have a legislative agency with the same responsibilities in the GAO, it...

The collective educational attainment of this group probably comes up a few credits short of a GED.

Human idiocy is a major factor here. Sold an audio interface earlier this year. Get a message from the buyer shortly after deliver saying it won’t turn on - which is strange because the last thing I did before I packed it is hook it back up to my PC/monitors and recorded some guitar to make sure...

Just had my second bad Reverb experience in the past six months. Fortunately everything worked out from a money perspective in both cases. But I think I'm off buying/selling online. At this point I mostly only buy gear I intend on keeping for life so not a lot of need to flip. And I'd rather...

Surprised the 5150 III Stealth 50w hasn’t been mentioned.

This might be something that’s worth seeing a sports medicine doctor about. Ideally one with a lot of experience working with musicians. I had a nasty bout of tendinitis in my left hand last year and between the SM doc and OT/PT I was able to avoid surgery and my hand/wrist finally feels normal...

I don’t buy much stuff from Amazon, but I’m still getting pretty much anything I order with Prime next day, same day in some cases. Must vary significantly by location since I’ve seen the same thing come up in other forums.

After not playing since my late-teens picked up guitar again in mid-2020. Super original, I know. But I’ve been loving it. Currently working on teaching myself classical. TGP has a large, active user base - Which is great but I just can’t relate to the music/gear preferences of most of the...

Good suggestions here. You could also either play it in double time or use a different subdivision - i.e. if it’s sounds too “slow” played as sixteenth note triplets modify to play as 32nd notes or septuplets.
