we're gonna air guitar in unison for sure

gotcha thanks. I was thinking it might be Aria b/c I could make out the A. I suspect the ridiculous prices for Gibsons nowadays is only going to cause these to increase in price even more. Good luck with it homey!

Anyone here do much hybrid or finger picking? I was reading guitar player article about some country riffs and one (or more of them) were using hybrid picking so I learned how to do the picking specifically for that riff and used that picking strategy on a recent studio opportunity. I liked it so much I found another article solely about hybrid picking with a bunch of exercises to basically get you going (quickly they say): https://www.guitarworld.com/magazine/depth-guide-hybrid-picking-will-have-you-playing-pro-no-time-all I'm starting at the very begging, and some of them I could do pretty quickly but others I've had to work on. I'm working systematically on it, 2 mins for each one w/ a metronome that increase by 5bpm every day as long as I didn't suck at it the day before. It's pretty neat empirically seeing improvement every day. I think this is going to be one of the more consequential things I learn in guitar playing. Not CAGED or Minor Pentatonic box patterns level important, but important nonetheless.

awesome! I like that burst, and that's saying something b/c I don't really like bursts but I do like cherry bursts & similar. I tried to zoom in on the headstock but still couldn't read it clearly, what is it?

good stuff, this all resounds with me pretty well. I then wonder... ok, what about bills that congresspeople actually didn't author - like a lobbyist group authored it?

Gop cares about babies 28million. Not billion

Just listening to cspan and Schumer said something about how he authored the Brady Bill....which got me wondering... Do originalist justices ever just actually.... ask congresspersons what they meant if they're still alive? I googled quickly and apparently it's very rare for the House to file an amicus brief.

Yes! I wasn't in medicine, but they taught us about how important it was to be able to replicate results but the incentive structure doesn't reward replicating results.

The reason I asked this is because it is in the title of the journal article being discussed.

Oh that sounds kinda rad.....

Samsung definitely adds to the Android operating system. Many things that are duplicative between Samsung and Android. Walt used to rant on here about how Samsung did that Your calculus is my calculus with the dudes in Cupertino. The other part is that you can't unroot the phone which drastically reduces resale value in my past experience. If it's been rooted it categorically consider vulnerable by many folks.

I have a super high level of skepticism of academic peer review as well. Mainly because well that was work my advisor delegated... to his students such as me....

thanks, can't polish a turd

serious question: who here knows what a trial sequential analysis is, and would be able to spot methodological bullshit in it while reading about it in an article where that method is employed? I do data analysis for a living and I have no idea what that is let alone know if it was employed correctly/non-nefariously

re apple vs iphone for techiness, I offer the hammer of logic android = open source ios = not open source where you going if you're a nerd that wants to kneecap your phones OS?

I'm actually considering going back to an iphone after 10 years with Samsung phones. For me the issue has nothing to do with being a non-tech boomer (I'm a data scientist). For me it's all about Facebook. Multiple samsung phones I've had recently, including my current one, do not allow me to uninstall facebook, it only allows me to "disable" facebook. Meanwhile apple is in a huge battle with facebook and I love them for it There are other places to go for a facebook-less android, but I'm thinking I'm just ready for a change. There have been some apple-only apps I've really wanted to get as well for collaborative purposes. There are probably ways to root out facebook from the samsung os.... hmmmmm......

unless you're a buyer? fwiw my android screen is way way swanker than that, that dashboard appears like it's from 2010.

So for the intentional failure let the legislature decide plan to work, it would need to be machines with no paper ballots that can be hand counted.

I agree with Lee that we need to consume as much as we can and decide from there but it also seems like it's freaking impossible if you scale it out to every important decision you make. That's not even addressing the notion that for most laypeople, they wouldn't have any idea what most journal articles are saying. I had to read journal articles multiple times to get the full gist.... in the field I was pursuing a grad degree in. Oh and even though taxpayers fund a shitload of research in journals, journals are absurdly expensive. Rough go of it to be fully informed.

That one is a meta analysis specifically according to the title, which is a study of studies, not an independent study on its own. Meta analysis tries to synthesize "all" of the studies into a conclusion.....what Lee said we need to do. And unfortunately that's not super trustworthy either. G2s link said they were accused of excluding inconvenient data, so did they jut leave out studies they didn't like?

I had a lot of hopes for Mueller but I was fooled or foolish. Idk why I thought Republicans appointed by the trump admin would faithfully investigate Trump. At least this is adversarial.

Can't they count them by hand if they don't scan?

ivermectine really does kill parasitic worms, right? I mean, it literally "de-worms" the worm's host?

Tbf one of the employees may have had a vape pen with devils lettuce ALLEGEDLY
