USA – ja oder nein? Welche Alternativen gibt es?

Hallo,

ich wollte meine erste Reise in die USA (NYC und Washington D.C.) für Ende Oktober planen (7-8 Tage), aber mir wird immer wieder gesagt, das sei keine gute Idee.

Deshalb würde ich gerne von Leuten hören, die kürzlich dort waren: Wie waren eure Erfahrungen?

Welche Alternativen gäbe es sonst? Ich möchte nicht länger als 9 Stunden im Flugzeug sitzen.

Kanada ist mir zu kalt, und die dortige Kultur hat mich nie besonders interessiert (nicht böse gemeint!).

Manche haben Bangkok vorgeschlagen, aber da bin ich mir unsicher; ich habe gelesen, dass das Leitungswasser dort nicht einmal trinkbar ist. Außerdem ist das Nachtleben nichts für mich.

Für weitere Vorschläge wäre ich ebenfalls dankbar. Vielen Dank!

Are Germans still boycotting USA travel?

Hello,

I read across subreddits specially from 7 months ago that people are boycotting and not visiting the USA. Is this still true? And what other destinations to replace to USA are typical for Germans?

Thank you.

Edit: Understood. USA is not on the list of almost everyone. Thanks. But I am still curious about the alternatives apart from the typical Spain and Italy.

Book an United flight with lufthansa, bad idea?

Hello,

I am looking for a long haul flight. Lufthansa is showing me both legs from them and United.

United flights have much better times for the same price. And I am debating to book directly with Lufthansa since I flight with them often and have the miles directly. Or go to United website and book directly with them.

I read that upgrades and seat selection could be a problem booking for a flight through another partnar and not directly with them. Even support could become a Problem in case of cancellation?

Any suggestions please? Thank you!​

Ferne Reise ende Oktober - Anfang November

Hallo zusammen,

Zur Info: Die einzige Fernreise, die ich bisher unternommen habe, war ein Besuch in Japan.

Für das Jahresende habe ich noch Urlaubstage übrig (Danke Kundenprojekte...), daher habe ich für einen entspannten Urlaub bereits eine Woche in Spanien geplant. Ich muss allerdings noch eine weitere Woche planen (die sich auf 8 bis 10 Tage ausdehnen ließe).

Ich zögere etwas, da der Flug nach Japan sehr anstrengend war (damals mit Zwischenstopp in Abu Dhabi). Trotzdem ziehe ich jedoch Bangkok oder New York in Betracht.

Was New York betrifft, sind die Preise in diesem Zeitraum recht ähnlich. Für Bangkok ist der Preis nur in den letzten beiden Oktoberwochen attraktiv, was allerdings noch in die Regenzeit fällt.

Ich habe auch an Luxor (Ägypten) gedacht, das wäre eine großartige Reise mit historischem Schwerpunkt, aber leider ist das Ziel ab München eher umständlich zu erreichen.

Das Nachtleben interessiert mich nicht; ich liebe es, durch Städte zu spazieren, ob historisch oder modern, solange es dort etwas Interessantes zu sehen gibt.

Kann mir jemand, der die Städte schon besucht hat, einen Rat geben? Oder übersehe ich vielleicht noch andere interessante Reiseziele?

Mir ist bewusst, dass es sich um sehr unterschiedliche Arten von Reisen handelt, aber ich würde mich trotzdem über eure Rückmeldungen freuen.

Danke im Voraus!

How to alternate Hi-hat and bass?

Hello,

Most of the Songs I've seen so far (beginner friendly) and excercices are using Hi-hat and bass on the same hit. Checking out some new Songs, like the one attached, you can see there is an alternate in the middle.

And I can't get it. My memory muscle defaults to hitting both together the moment I speed up.​

Is there any technique, excercice or Video that can help me navigate this pattern? I see it in a lot of rock Songs.

Thank you!

MPS-850 - it this a good deal?

Hello,

I played the TD-1K and I like it. I often read about the stand alone Hi-Hat and mesh heads so I kept an eye on the second head Markt. I just found this one but not sure how good of a deal it is. Specially that I understand Millennium have poor build quality and sound.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!​

Would an Alesis Mesh Max be an upgrade to Roland TD-1k + Kicktower

Hello,

I am using a Roland TD-1K equiped with a KD-10 kicktower (bought both used).

I just saw a used Alesis Nitro Max in ther marktplace for about 270€.

The Roland is good so far as I am a beginner anyway. The Kicktower seems a little funky as I still fail to properly do two quick kiks on it without an extra effort (could be just bad technique, I am working on it).

Anyway, I wanted to get your opinion, if the Mesh Max would be a worthy upgrade.

Thanks!

Disappointed to restart from 1/50

Hello,

I am not sure how often this happened. I started my treatment about 9 months ago. Plan was 50 trays and wearing the elastic little thing on one side.

Reaching tray 25 I was happy as I started noticing a difference after all the first movement in the back of the mouth for the first trays.

Then when one control came (I made it regularely), and the doctor told me that my upper jaw didn't move as needed and that I need a new scan.

I did it, and then to my surprise, it is not just adjustement, but restart from 1/50 again! Movement in the back teeth gain until​ tray 20. And now weraing the little elastic in both sides.

I feel like I spent 9 months for nothing. Anyone had similar experience? Thanks. ​

How is the speed lately?

Hello,

I have an internet with speed of 250Mbps and Mullvad is always ON for my devices. Lately, I noticed a lot of buffering specially for 4K content. So I run a speed test, and even if I am connecting to a server in the same country, the speed is fluctuating and does not exceed 98Mbps.

The buffering goes away the moment I turn off Mullvad.

Is this a general problem or maybe only me? I will not speak about servers in other countries as the speed follows to below 50Mbps.

Thank you.

Difficulties with the verse of "That´s what you get" by Paramore

Hello,

I started learning drumming about one week ago. After finishing some beginners lessons. I wanted to start learning a song. "That´s what you get" was mentioned in some discussions in reddit as beginner friendly, and I already like the song.

I m using the datasheet from Songsterr which is similar to what is used in the following tutorial videos as well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnxGcGGc6pE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjSyIjiYxc4

But I still can´t get the verse (the part just atfer the explosive intro). Doing it slowly with separation is fine, but I get really confused when I try to put it together or move a little faster. The videos make it seem very easy and I can´t help to think I am doing something wrong or maybe splitting it wrong for the learning in my head.

Any tips or general direction please?

Thank you!

Learn first song

Hello,

I would like to start learning my first song and "I don´t love you" from My Chemical Romance seemed like a good choice as the main groove is the same I have been training on.

But I am a little bit confused, there are different sheet notes and even the cover videos are different. So I am not sure which to follow.

Just as an example, Musescore and Songsterr sheets are different for this song.

How should I approach this and what would be your advice to start learning songs (apart from listening to them)?

Thank you!

Change Hi-Hat configuration for Roland TD-1K to closed

Hello,

I just started learning Drums with a Roland TD-1K. Most of the tutorials are using real drums. And what I noticed is that the Hi-Hat is always in a closed position, which means the sound is "short" when making basic grooves.

On the TD-1K, it seems that the default is open, which means the Hi-Hat has this "long" sound and I need to press the pedal to get it to close.

So I am wondering, if it is normal to always keep the pedal pressed when playing or is there a way to change the default configuration to closed?

If my whole understanding is wrong, please also feel free to correct me. Thank you!

Neue Waschmaschine kaufen, inklusive Abbau des Waschturms

Hallo zusammen,

Als ich in meine Wohnung einzog, habe ich die Waschmaschine und den Trockner vom Vormieter übernommen. Es war ein Waschturm mit Geräten von Bauknecht.

Leider ist die Waschmaschine jetzt kaputt. Deshalb möchte ich sie jetzt ersetzen. Wichtig ist, dass der Dienstleister den Trockner abbaut, die Waschmaschine austauscht und den Waschturm wieder aufbaut. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie und wo das abgedeckt sein könnte.

Bei der Suche erwähnen beispielsweise die folgenden Händler entsprechende Dienste:

Bei MediaMarkt gibt es bisher folgenden Service: Unterbau und Altgerätemitnahme

Auf der Website von Beko (dem jetzigen Bauknecht-Anbieter) werden folgende Services angeboten:

- Installationspaket

- Altgerätemitnahme

- Deinstallation

- Zusätzlicher Transport zum Verwendungsort

- Aufbauservice Waschturm

Ich bin mir aber nicht sicher, ob einer dieser Services alles inklusive des Abbaus des Waschturms abdeckt. Hat jemand Erfahrung damit oder andere Vorschläge bitte?

Edit: Ich suche nicht nach einem einfachen „Ja“ oder „Nein“, das kann letztlich nur der Händler verbindlich beantworten. Mir geht es vielmehr um die Erfahrungen von Leuten, die dieses Problem hatten: Welche Dienstleistungen haben sie gebucht, bei welchem ​​Händler usw.?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!

How to repair of a mounted wash machine?

Hello,

I moved sometime ago to a new city. And I bought the washing maschine and dryer (which is installed on top) from the previous tenant.

Well, the wasch machine decided today to stop working and I do think the problem is as simple as this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai3ssT07aWY

The main issue is: I am forbidden from moving heavy things. So I think I am stuck with calling a repair service? But I am not sure if they would accept to also detach, move down and then reattach the drier again.

Any suggestion how to approach this problem please? I have already read the horror stories of the "express services" that can be found online.

Thank you!
