Here from reddit, happy to be gone, happy to be here

  • I find this discussion really interesting.

    The other night i watched Loius Theroux's African Hunting Party documentary where he goes to Africa and interviews Americans who pay big money to kill wild animals. Some of them endangered i believe. The money made from it goes into conservation to ensure these species are kept alive to keep the whole thing going.

    I remember years ago there was a guy who killed a rhino on one of these hunts. People went mental about it. Turns out that rhino was killing baby rhinos and was itself depopulating the already small population of rhino. He paid $350,000 to do it too. Radiolab did a great episode on it here

    I have been a vegetarian for the last 15 or so years. I doubt i will ever eat meat again and i most certainly will not eat factory farmed meat every again. In the film, the hunters ask the question "is this worst than buying meat from the supermarket?". Honestly, i dont think it is, the virtually live in freedom untill they are killed. The conditions of factory farmed animals is much much worse. Im not likely to pick up a gun and start hunting myself anytime soon (unless its a pest) but i thought its an interesting conversation to have.

  • What is opsec

  • So quantity over quality? Haha

  • Haha, truth. A bit less effective but true

  • Yes

    Travis picking is your best bet for learning finger picking to begin with. Its the foundation of basically all finger picking aside from classical.

    Some basic tips:

    1. First and fore most and most importantly. Make sure your using the right fingering from the start. Your thumb plays the low E, the A, and D. Index plays G, middle plays B, and ring finger plays high e. I know it's tough at first but it will set you up for more advanced picking later on
    2. Start slow. Practice the exercises with a metronome and move up 5bpm at a time.

    I just made this to explain what I mean about finger positions

    If you can get hold of this book, you'll be in great hands. Work through the exercises day by take. I think I have a digital copy

  • I don't think it's a problem to be honest. The issue is the untreated anxiety. Are you able to get some support for that?

  • Bit nerve wravking watching this all unfold eh. I've got a young family and I'm the sole earner. It'd break me if I was able to ensure they have everything they need

  • Yeah I saw the projection of $4.80

    Is it likely we will hit the level four of the traffic light system? Ie, only emergency and public transport vehicles?

  • Listening to him cry is devastating. They are absolutely scum and sub human Nazis

  • You don't need to preface it with "I'm not antisemitic", no one cares. It's the least important part of this whole thing

  • Are we genuinely looking at zero petrol by late may?

    Edit: sorry just saw petrol is late June

    If ypu can see anything wrong please let me know, I'll have another Google and see if I can find the issue

  • Its definitely a concern that needs addressing

    I'm fair new to the open source world, just afew years. I'm not a dev so I do not contribute my time in that way. One thing that struck me at the start (and I still think about) is how demanding people are of devs with zero gratitude for the work they do and share. I still find it utterly bizarre and entitled. It's disappointing

  • Try find a client that can access the site but doesn't have all that extra crap

  • I wouldn't no. There's only afew things he could ever do to justify those words, and even then, what purpose would it serve?

  • Fair enough

    I'd caution anyone with ranking some conditions above others on different scales like violence but yeah I understand when you say it's a cultural view
