And Ray Croc didn't invent McDonald's, but poured the foundation that McDonald's is built on. I place Musk in a similar, although not entirely the same, category.

"We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. This is just one of those other things." - My dad quoting JFK at me to get me to do the dishes as a teenager. I don't think he would remember even saying that to me, but has always stuck with me. Something said about something so monumental being applied to something so benign. But that wasn't the point, because it was hard for me.
A mechanical metronome will help with a visual indicator, but this smells like a classic XY problem to me. Your issue isn't that you need a visually distinctive metronome, it's that you are rushing the beat and need to break that habit.
Sadly, a metronome can only get you halfway in that endeavor. The real fix will be to practice with other musicians who can call you out on it in real-time. It is embarrassing, it is time-consuming, and it isn't fun, but it WILL break you of the habit and force you to play better. And make sure they call you out on it immediately. As in you do not get to continue the song once it is noticed, and you must start over like dying in a video game.
That word would probably be either "skeuomorph" or "vestigial"
Not really, once Reddit closed off their API to all but the absolute highest of bidders, it broke a lot of functionality of a lot of smaller apps like this. You might still be able to find something to spruce up the CSS client side somewhere, but a lot of devs abandoned the ecosystem once Reddit, the company, made it clear in no uncertain terms that community support and 3rd party partnerships were unwelcome.
Lol, it sounds worse than it is. The water here is just very hard.
Not sure if it is a filtration issue or if it absorbed during transit in the pipes. At any rate, there is a very large chemical manufacturing plant and a nuclear fuels processing plant a stone's throw from where I live, so the state monitors the waterways like a hawk. They've been busted a small handful of times over the years, but thank goodness nothing serious enough to worry about- despite what some of the other locals say.
That's super interesting about the plants! Something to keep an eye on in the garden over the summer. I appreciate the tip about leaving the water out overnight too.
Thank you!
Can someone give a brief overview of Lakka? Will admit that I'm on mobile and am being a bit lazy. Top 2 Google results were fluff pieces. Is it just a launcher? A drop in replacement for retroarch? Emulates a only a specific set of consoles that aren't being cared for by the retro arch community?
A friend of mine used to always make fun of me for not drinking tap water. I explained that it taste bad and that you can see the particles floating around in it. He said "no no no, the Gov wouldn't allow that. It's safe to drink!" I know it is safe, but the quality sucks.
This same friend stopped drinking from the tap after he moved to the neighborhood next to mine.
All that is to say that while the tap water in most areas of the US are perfectly safe for consumption, that doesn't mean that it is pleasant tasting.
My great grandfather was aboard the USS Missouri when the Japanese came aboard to surrender. He always said that it was one of the biggest moments of his life, and he always regretted that he didn't have a camera during that visit. I think that I would like to go back in time to that event, and bring a camera with me.
Glancing over their other comments for about 15 seconds, I'm going to vote yes: it's sarcasm.
Reasonable minds feel free to disagree, but I've got to admit that I'm shocked to see the lemmy community rally around the defense of Ray Croc of all people.
