In addition to all the good answers previously given, a conductor interprets what the composer has written. And different conductors may create very different interpretations of the same piece. They can set the basic tempo faster or slower, they can get the orchestra to really lean in to a particular musical phrase or de-emphasise it, they can bring out the horns at one point or hush them a bit and let us focus on the oboe or piccolo… A good conductor has studied and notated the entire score for some time before they and the orchestra even begin to rehearse.

So, part of that bow at the end can be to say, “what do you think of this interpretation compared to all the other times you’ve heard this famous symphony?” Then they usually turn around and wave the orchestra members to stand, which means, “and didn’t these guys do a great job executing it!?”

It’s a grocery store, I’d rather be able to smell tomatoes and strawberries and rotisserie chicken and bread

Be patient, this too will pass. Those hours last aeons but the years fly by.

Know that for every person sniffing with disapproval at your kids’ worst behavior there’s three thinking, “Oh yeah, I remember how hard that is” or “I’m so glad that’s not me today!”

Sink. I’d be wasting all that shower water I’m not actively washing with, or I’d be shivering with the water turned to a trickle. When I brush at the sink, I only need to wet the brush, and turn off the tap until I’m ready to rinse.

Pretty sure his students aren’t.

One stick, unscented.

You should probably start by going to a blue state. Police may still be transphobic tho

Depends what kind of talking. I’d rather chat lightly with a total stranger (I’ll help you find what you’re looking for in the grocery store for instance) than get into long deep conversations with family or friends who can bring up deeply personal uncomfortable topics.

Hence hanging out in Lemmy.

English is my mother tongue and I still have issues with reading some manuals because they’re written by bad pedagogues using jargon phrases that mean nothing, or worse, mean something completely different from a basic English reading of those words in that order.

I’m not them, but

Note: I suggest you don’t look up “(type of animal) arrested,” because most of what pops up is horrible people arrested for doing terrible things to animals. (Although a couple cats have been “arrested” in modern times.) I just happened to remember the pig trials of yore.

Cool, if it’s also Art Nouveau.

"Computer works fine now, but the smell of decomp is becoming unbearable… "

Tell your wife the situation beforehand, because it’s possible the girl will tell lies in retaliation for her hurt feelings. If she’s been crushing on you the scenarios are already in her head, she won’t even have to make them up. Stay calm and remember you’re the adults.

I think you got autoincorrected from “deployable”

If you have a bank of mailboxes that sticks out from the wall, you could try perching the “return to sender” envelope on top of the boxes, with maybe a post-it that says “Outgoing Mail” on it.

Since it’s important for health to consume some of the green stuff, it’s helpful to find out how you dislike it least. For instance, cooked spinach is just as revolting as raw, but you only have to swallow about a quarter of the amount because of shrinkage. Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are better if you roast them until they mostly taste like brown. And shrinkage happens there, too.

Zucchini is a green vegetable that’s less offensive imho, and can hide in a spaghetti sauce without ruining it.

Don’t go with any recipe that “celebrates the delicious flavor” of anything you don’t already like.

You can also be your own mom and puree veggies into the gravy/sauce of your meat.

Anyway, good on you for eating the veggies first. It’ll also start filling you up, so the steak will feel more satisfying.

Maybe if you think real hard about a person going into a seizure and flinging themselves backwards, it’ll pop back in your head the next time you go to type “seize” and help you remember.

If you have all the lights on, that one little light won’t bother you as much because your pupils aren’t dilated.

The asses’ milk would moisturize skin. I assume a water rinse though, because old milk stinks and could cause a yeast infection.

The asp was legendarily her choice to commit suicide, though it was probably an Egyptian Cobra, if it was a snake at all. (Asp bite death is slower and much more painful than cobra bite death.) I have a theory that the asp legend depends partly on the fact it’s easier to rhyme “asp” than Egyptian Cobra. As for snakebite in general, I note that male artists have universally portrayed the snake biting her on her bare booby. That’s not actually a good way to get the venom quickly to the heart/brain/lungs, because boobies are mostly fat, but it makes good pornArt.

Oh don’t you hate that? Happens too often, especially typing on my phone and the cat or the spouse needs is asking for something so I’m rushing to finish and BLARGH! It’s ruined!
