pixaal posted:You ever learn to fall? If not walk to a karate place and ask them when they are doing a class with take downs as you need to learn to properly fall and pay for a single class. You'll also learn to move someones weight and throw them to the ground which may come in handy some day. Oh I am very good at falling. I've been a skateboarder my whole life so i typically still instinctually battle roll if I fall. This was a black ice on a downhill slope scenario. the fall was fine as I kinda gently fell to my butt and slid down the hill. I dragged my hand across a sharp rock trying to slow down my slide and filleted my hand pretty good. |

cruft posted:I just want to pluck this one thing out here, people have been doing this for thousands of years. It was only a very brief period of western expansion in the US, where there was a confluence of very cheap land, abundant affordable labor and materials, and a robust middle class, where it became expected that you'd move out of your parents' house. That's increasingly less manageable today for a whole lot of reasons, and that is 100% okay: it is, again, how people have lived for thousands of years. Old houses still have built in suites kuz of this. I moved out at 16 kuz it was finacially beneficial for everyone. W were spending more on gas to drive me back and forth to town than it was for rent. If I wasn't stuck out in the country with no legal driving option til 18 I'd have stayed and lived out on the farm. but I had a schedule for school that didn't work with my mum and she didn't need to be driving so much and spending that money. Nothing wrong with living with parents if noone is put out. I was gonna remodel my basement and hook my daughter up with a place with it's own entrance just so when she's an adult she'd have her own poo poo and i'd just want like half her cut of the bills(which would be almost nothing with the house paid for)... I'm actually waiting to see how poo poo goes and my bro might have locked in a house in Maine with a secondary on it and I'd not hate to move out there and kick him a bit and just have a spot. Familial housing is the norm for humans, like you said, it's just this bunch of ppl trying to sell an idea of spending a bunch of money(because they are selling) to live.

my gramma was complaining about modern doctors and it made me think about how in the recent past your doctor would likely also be everyone in your extended families doctor as well, so figuring out congenital stuff must have been easier than today, in a way. part of me likes the idea of living in a big family collective, but i very much need my own space. since pandemic times started i have been aggressively attempting to convince my siblings to move north. i'd really like to be in the same area as my niece/nephews/siblings but modern life pulls people off in different directions.

I'd feel like less of a failure for living with my in laws if I actually liked these people. Especially since my wife's grandmother also lives on the property and she's a proper bitch of an old Southern Baptist white woman. Also I can't tell these people what I think of them because my MiL is petty enough to kick us out if we don't acquiesce to her demands, so I pull double duty at home trying to help my wife deal with these people and keep my son out of their toxic mind games as much as possible. Unfortunately my escape plan is when my mother dies and leaves me her life insurance. Anyway, sorry for bringing the thread down. |

ime the ideal distance from family is "close enough that i could walk over for dinner or something, or bring laundry over if my machine is broken, but not so close that anyone would pop by unannounced because i would hate that" like sometimes my mom will text "hey i'm biking and i'll be in your neighbourhood in like half an hour do you want to come out and chat" and that's still not enough advance notice for me. having people just show up all of a sudden is a personal hell

biosterous posted:ime the ideal distance from family is "close enough that i could walk over for dinner or something, or bring laundry over if my machine is broken, but not so close that anyone would pop by unannounced because i would hate that" This is how we are right now, we live about ten minutes from Bingo Bango's mother and hang out with her what I'd consider a healthy amount. If she makes too much food she'll invite us over to have some, if we're both sick she'll bring us over some groceries, we'll go out to eat once in awhile, consult on home projects... it's convenient and she has a great relationship with her mom. We used to live maybe a 30-45 minute drive from my parents and that also worked for me. I get along with them but we can grate on each other if we're under the same roof for too long, but it was close enough to pop out if my mom needed help or there was an emergency or a special occasion.

I've been thinking about vaudeville lately since reading a book about slightly older popular music in 19th century NYC, and I've been trying to figure out how to ask a question about a particular little musical flourish. I finally found an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CduOLFJ5GEY This thing. I've also been able to identify the Minsky Pickup. What is it? What's the history? Where did it come from? When was its heyday? I would like to know about this and its cousin, the "bum badede bum bum-- bap bap!" sting.

That last one is "shave and a haircut - two bits" if I read you right. The misky pickup is great especially when followed by the "and many moooore" for double flourish fun |

I do know that it was frequently used on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, always followed by one of the ensemble saying a word rather suggestively.

I finally found an example: Yah that’s shave and a haircut and as my late, great 95 yr old bluegrass jam pals used to say, it’ll stop a freight train as well as a tune. Idk anything about the origins though. Seems maybe related to a classical coda? It really doesn’t appear in traditional Scottish fiddle music from which the American Old -Time music tradition descends. But also old time got a lot from vaudeville/ragtime/tin pan alley/minstrel shows and it’s it’s pretty hard to say what came from where to me, shave and a haircut sounds rhythmically a lot more like a polka or klezmer kind of things from East/Central Europe than an American rhythm descended from either/both a British isles or African tradition. Shave and a haircut definitely seems to be an American thing, and probably appears in the fourth quarter of the 19th Century from what I can find.

I've only had them a couple times but you are correct i was gonna say there's not much Salvadoran food around me which seems like a bit of a weird gap, but then I looked it up and there's a place like 6 blocks away. maybe pupusas for lunch?

I did a double blood donation yesterday, and then forgot I'd done that and had a glass of wine with dinner and rum cake for dessert. Last night my resting heart rate was above normal, and today I have a mild but annoying headache over my entire brain, my eyes feel sort of like they're bulging out, and I just want to go back to bed. I was all worried I was coming down with COVID, but after I realized about the wine, I'm starting to think I might just be hung over. I've never had a hangover before, though. Does this sound plausible given my symptoms? |

Plausible, sure. I don't know to what extent you usually drink or how hard the blood donation may have hit you, as I know little about the latter in general. If you can, drink some water like it or not or something else hydrating, hopefully take a nap and see where you are as the simplest "maybe I have a small hangover" fix. There's tons of opinions and fan favorite remedies if that's the case but if you aren't feeling on top of things "hydrate and rest" are the basics, be it hangover or some other sickness, so it can't hurt anything unless you think something is really wrong, which it doesn't sound like you do.

Well it could also be COVID. But yeah I've been thirsty as hell and honestly with the precautions I've been taking hangover from blood loss sounds a lot more likely. Gonna go curl up on the couch and watch some old Doctor Who episodes now. |
