There was a point where I felt I was a pretty solid player generally, but I ended up asking myself “How can you have been playing all these years and still not play any shreddy solos?”. I committed to learning the Crazy Train solo with a similar mindset of just trying something that was out of my current skill level. Super fun, and 100% a skill up situation.

Earlier on, learning ‘Romance’ was a big skill jump for sure, if you’re into classical guitar at all.

Picking up some AC/DC songs was pretty great too. At that point I was an avid blues listener but not player, as I had picked up guitar mostly to play metal. AC/DC did well to bridge the gap between harder music and its roots in blues.

Speaking of metal, just pick a Pantera song. There’s a good chance that Dime will have you doing new things.

Blackbird was a great call out. I find that a lot of Beatles jams are more complex to play than they sound, so I’ll also promote more of that. There’s a complete scores book that’s pretty solid, it’s a bit pricey but also not hard to find in PDF format.

Seeing how rice illiterate a lot of the world is I’d like to clarify on your behalf:

Uncooked rice. Put some grains of dry, uncooked rice in the spice bottle. It’s fairly common in equatorial areas, as it’s cheap and it’s effective.

Tiktok and most kinds of short form content for me. I have a few friends into Tiktok and I’m sure it’s fun but I just don’t care to check it out.

I’ve tried to see what the appeal of short form content is. Twitter, mastodon, and bluesky have all ended up being a shitty RSS feed interrupted by the opinions of strangers for me. Now I’m just over trying to get it. It’s just another weird ass thing that tonnes of people are into.

Love all the windows and the brick, great look.

Yep all women. They’ve been my gateway into the genre. I’ve not gotten into it much because I like being able to understand vocals with minimal effort, but I feel like the vocalist in Crypta does a pretty good job at being articulate and it’s raised my tolerance enough for me to explore some other bands.

Thanks for the post btw, I’ve been enjoying some new artists and great classics so far :D

Got my boogie bumper out of my seat :D

TIL that German electro-medieval is a genre. Reminds me a bit of Värttinä, which is 100% complimentary.

Yep, all of them.

Fun jam, I enjoyed that.

Too much good stuff out there for me to have a favourite, so here’s what I’m listening to as I leave this comment.

Lol, easier to write an article theorizing the ways it can be done than to just show him a centered div.

Did you know that grep can take the name of the file(s) you want it to search as the final arguments?

For example: grep -Ein "$@" ~/.bash_history

Yes, she uses Strudel and is an absolute badass about it :D

If you’re just throwing a few of your fav mods together, 4gb can absolutely do it. If you’re interested in a larger mod pack, you’ll want to check the page for the modpack.

Extreme example: right now I’m hosting an “all the mods 10” server for some friends and they suggest at least 8gb of ram.

On the other hand I’ve run a simple pack with a few things like Mekanism and Botania on 4gb no problem.

For Java edition with no mods I consider 2gb the absolute bare minimum. That’s dedicated specifically to the JVM, not system wide.

4gb to be able to have any useful render distance for multiplayer IMO.

They used the dorodango technique to create dung spheres in order to bust the myth that one "can't polish a turd". Using a glossmeter, they measured gloss levels substantially higher than the value of 70 gloss units, which is considered "high gloss". Savage's 106-gloss unit dorodango used an ostrich's feces, while Hyneman's 183-gloss unit specimen used a lion's feces. They therefore deemed the myth "busted".

Psych and the Psych movies.

Fwiw there are Voyager spoilers in Lower Decks.
