Rate my LRCM repertoire

J. S. Bach - Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue

L. v. Beethoven - Sonata no. 21

F. Chopin - Ballade no. 2 (alt: F. LISZT - Concerto no. 1)

M. Ravel - Concerto (alt: C. DEBUSSY - L’isle joyeuse)

Note: For reference, the most difficult piece that I'm playing right now is Beethoven's Sonata no. 23 (for my ARCT exams: I haven't completed my ARCT exams yet, I'm deciding my LRCM repertoire because I like to plan ahead.)

An excerpt from a composition that I'm working on

I'm not great at composing and I don't have a lot of training, but I'm kind of proud of this passage.

Creme Brulee Tart

I dreamed that I was making a very big creme brulee. Unusually, I poured the custard into a pie dish lined with tart crust (the crust was brown, the colour of a graham cracker crust, perhaps because of the addition of a little brown sugar or molasses to the dough). I baked it and sprinkled sugar on top (because of an anomaly, all of the granulated sugar at home became sugar with spherical crystals, like pearl sugar but finer), and broiled it in the oven because I didn't have a torch.

Unfortunately, as I was taking it out of the oven, I dropped it top-down on the floor, destroying it; then, I woke up. I never got to taste the creme brulee. :(

Communist idiot pretends that Vietnam is actually democratic

And cites the CPUSA as a source to support himself.

This was on r/vexillology of all places, someone made a hypothetical democratic Vietnam flag.

These gold beads (or "beans") are a common form of fractional gold in China. I bought these 6 1g beads at a store in Shuibei Jewellery Market in Shenzhen, a large mall filled with jewellery stores. I bought these at spot price in August 2025, so they've appreciated quite a bit since then.

I know this sounds like a shitpost, but I’m serious.

Thinking about muscle tension, hand relaxation, and finger control, might masturbation affect fine motor control or hand tension at the piano. My right hand does feel slightly more tense in fast passages, etc. but maybe that's a common phenomenon with your dominant hand regardless of fappage levels.

Not asking morally — we all know Johann Sebastian was crankin' it every once in a while and he was still blessed by the gods.

Has anyone noticed changes in touch, tension, relaxation, or dexterity from "recreational" use outside practice? There's gotta be plenty of gooners experts on this topic in the sub...

I actually retried a few times, the first times the head would just move around without printing anything, this time the print head moved a little and just stood still.

And are the vibrations and grinding noises normal? I lubricated the Y axis, but I only got oil in a small area because I couldn't manually move the print bed.

Please help 🙏

Bothwell medium Cheddar cheese, Keen's mustard (mixed with water), milk, butter, black pepper, on buttered sourdough toast. I added some Worcestershire sauce on it after trying it plain.

It was deliciously rich with cheese flavor, with a little spice from the mustard. I think I'm going to be making it another time.

Is this route just not popular enough? Was there such a train in the past?
