There's so many options, and I end up learning one or trying to, screwing it up, then forgetting how to do it, then realizing it was because it was too advanced.

Is there just a very simple thing to follow for beginners like prioritized from most important to know along with their uses.

Like, "1. shelter is most important so the first knot is between two trees called a "xyz knot"" then "2. next importance is to make sure bears can't get ur food, so this knot is up on a tree branch to hang food from, here's the "abc knot" for how to tie it to the branch and here's the "cde knot to tie it to your food""

Is there anything like that?

Thank you very much!

So it pretty much numbs he muscle so it can't contract like it would, so it heals faster, is that right? Also, how long does that numbing last, and also, did the injection hurt?

Thank you

I've heard various people say different things.

My biggest issue has been my chin and shoulder don't give 100% support, and so those times when you're playing and your hand and thumb moves to a different part of the violin the violin slides ever so slightly to my front-facing direction, and over time those little movements add up and then I have to readjust the violin.

A Youtuber I like a lot said he give like 50% support from the hand and 50% from the chin. But it looks like magic to me how the violin doesn't start it's inevitable movement inward to front-facing direction since the string hand moves a lot and can't support the neck of the violin all the time.

Thank you

Since you can't get a new separate account, you can only have up to 5 linked accounts on your account right? So I made another one for a kind of business type intention, but somehow people I know from my other accounts add me. I didn't want that. Is there a way to avoid this?

Thank you!

I have been playing for a long time, I cannot hardly tell you what note anything is.

I mean if I play the 4 open strings when they are tuned I can say mmm ok that sounds like what I've heard. But if I play a G even in the 3rd octave which is open string, I can't tune it that way. And if G is in a higher octave, I hear no relation.

Is there any apps (like one where it gives you some to hear, then tests you on it like Duolingo but for hearing), or strategies when playing like first play this and this, then listen to this, then play this and this or something? I've looked on Youtube for things but haven't found anything really solid.

Thank you!

I know this must be a simple question because, surprisingly I can't even find many videos related to what tone is related to the violin on YouTube. But when I read the definition and the few videos I found that explain it about other instruments, I still am unsure if I understand.

The overall thing I get from it is that tone is a sound of a note related to another note? Is that all it is?

Are you mainly looking at the sheet music and playing off of that, where 50% is reading it and 50% is muscle memory from practicing it?

And what about like, knowing long bows / short bows, or where to leave off of one note on a up or down bow. Do those things just naturally come with what you're doing like, maybe you play a piece and each time it might differ a bit?

The way I had been playing is, I tried to memorize each thing and then try to get muscle memory to do it.

Thanks

Like not really expensive, but the good quality stuff where it's not overly mass produced to where they are skimping on quality left and right. Like, I want to find a good bankers lamp or stain glassed lamp, and a good thick bear blanket like I had in the 80's. But when I've shopped on Amazon before the quality is always less than what it seems. Is there shops that still maintain real quality but not like a million yen?

Thank you!

I'm moving, and I've used this dolly no problem for my back pack and stuff, it's not a big one. But the size of the iMac 27-inch box is just big enough where I'm questioning whether I'd get trouble or not. Any suggestions or knowledge about this is appreciated.

Thank you!

This is for my dog as a back-up for when I leave for work during summer.

I posted before on a related topic and went to various places to look for them but couldn't find what I wanted.

In short, I can't keep the AC on all the time due to my living situation, and there's too high a chance that at least once I may forget to turn it on or put the wrong setting before going to work, so I want a back-up that in the case that happened that my dog wouldn't suffer and die.

I've went to many dog stores, I bought a gel type sheet (but I noticed when it got hot in the room, it didn't keep cool at all).

I also went to many places like AEON, EDiON, etc and was surprised there's no like separate type AC fan that generates cool air with a thermostat that can click on after it hits a certain degree. All the ones it was either air, or there was one that in perfect conditions it could get 10 degree cooler but I looked it up and it's not very reliable.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you

I've found after getting over a hump it's easier, and the benefits are WOW, I mean some people go their entire lives without even knowing this because they never even think to do it.

But around day 5 I feel like a rabid animal, it seriously distracts my day. I think one side of me says, this is a challenge and opportunity to overcome and through that fight you will be in the moment and all of those benefits will emerge through that. The other side of me is like, those 5-10 days usually do that for me, and with that treat to look forward to and the then couple days after of non-distractions, it seems like a balance for me.

Another way I've read is, you just never fap, but sex is okay, but wouldn't that defeat most of the benefits which are likely due to semen retention?

Any thoughts are welcome, thanks.

edit: I updated my flair, I'm at about 2 days actually.

My doctor said the cut is very close or even at the entrance/exit and that splashing a bit of water up there is okay but not to use the bidet (I live in Japan). Is this a common thing to be told? I've heard sits baths is pretty much sitting in water, and people take baths, so I'm wondering why I was told that.

I've had mine for 1.5 years, it's very slowly gotten better with hiccups throughout...

I'm thinking to inform the post office to forward my mail. But I'm wondering if there's anything I need to know, like whether because it's an official mail it can't be forwarded, or whether forwarding takes time to be activated, etc.

Also, it says 4-6 weeks but is it normally that long nowadays? Last time I got it within 2 weeks, but that was before the immigration office was packed.

Thank you.

I'm doing an essay, and I've made a project where I put pictures of the chapters that I need, and then I'll ask where certain ideas are located, or ask it to summarize things from it, or meld it all together to give me an example.

But when I put it in a chat within the project, sometimes it seems within that same chat, and within other chats it can remember, and sometimes it doesn't. And I asked it and it said it doesn't even remember all the exact text, so it's summarizing it?

Is there any way to, in an organized way upload all my stuff so I can then prompt it based on that? Or is that too much for chatgpt I wonder?

Thank you

Last time I went to the wrong line, and it took so much longer. I looked online but found people say different things. I was wondering if there's a consensus here for which line it is to just submit it.

I think I can buy the 4000 (or maybe 6000 now) yen stamp prior too from the convenience store there if I recall correctly.

Thank you, sorry for the question.
