These internet chocolates never contain mushrooms according to everyone I've known or read about who have had them. If you're lucky you get 4-aco-dmt which is safe and hard to tell apart from the real thing. This is an unregulated market and no one else cares about your health. Be careful out there.

I've played and given up the mandolin several times over tge past several years. Longest continuous before now was maybe three months. What I've learned through my own learning process is:

1. Practice in time. Even if it's slow.
2. Playing with backing tracks helps a ton
3. Posture is key. On my current streak of playing I was able to go from playing the melody of kids songs to the rhythm of some grateful dead songs (at 80 bpm instead of 140 bpm) after spending time watching videos of how to hold and sit. I then had to relearn all my fingerings but it didn't take nearly as long this time.
4. Sucking is just part of learning anything new. I guess one either enjoys the act of improving independent of the current result or one doesn't.

Post script: The reason I quit when I do is because I become frustrated with plateaus. I now believe a lot of these plateaus came from bad mechanics. My pinky could not reach the 7th fret no matter how much I practiced. I could not switch chords without destroying my rhythm or muting extra strings etc.

Cool thanks!

What bands do you recommend that are of the newer style?

His show had an episode with a mom trying to drink like her college daughter. The mom starts going out most nights, eating like shit and feeling bad during the day. The part that has stayed with me for almost 20 years is how the mom was definitely having a good time towards the middle of the month. When I first saw it I was a little younger than the daughter and now I am a little younger than the mom was at filming. When I question if I should start drinking more again, I think of that lady and say "Maybe."

Free at point of care but taxpayers pay for it

MAGA communism is when instead of returning the means of production to those doing the work one just starts a authoritarian state capitalist regime. I don't think the government funding gyms is some terrible thing but it won't stop the "feminization" these people decry.

Context?

I keep my dropouts free ebooks in Dropbox and use moonreader + to read them and sync across devices. Until I lost my library in a hdd failure I had 10k books self hosted with calibre and that was straight forward and worked well. I do also use Google Books for things I buy and like it although it lacks some QoL features of moonreader

I think you're misunderstanding the word "order." They mean order like "Dr's Orders" not like the Dr is generating requests to the drug warehouse.

I remember the pod save America guys talking about him before he was a Texas rep. They were saying how much they liked him and how he helped them sleep and stay up. Being a Dr Feelgood is probably very expected for the role.

This is unpopular. I think it's because no matter how poorly you are treated no one wants to deal with your pee

Dancing in the street

Last guess is Precious Angel then I'm out of probable angel songs since it isn't Angel Flying too Close to the Ground or Seven Spanish Angels

Angel band or Angel son?

Can Musk be VP? Want he born in South Africa to South African parents?

Lots of people stepping out of the shower to downvote

I had never heard of those until now. 5 1/4 disk size with 230 mb sounds pretty sweet

I use libby and have three cards. My county library, my city and a city I used to live in. Between those three I almost constantly have new books to read. I've read 19 book so far this year. All of them new release literary fiction and 16 of them through libby. With the right card it is really good. I went from dling 10 books a month to 1 a month so far this year.

Pagers also work even in parts of the hospital that cell phones don't for whatever reason. At least last time I had a hospital pager a few years ago. Now a lot of places use commercial solutions like vocera that also work everywhere and allow two way voice comms.
