"homeless" doesn't exist unless you lack papers or spend all your money on drugs instead of rent.

nostr:npub1xrpwdu93cnpxa34g80cpqdfskkwx06usty7vrpl4palfvxhjn73sap3dmc someone said it can be a bad thing is it's off by too much because you might develop a wrong muscle memory and if you switch to an instrument with better intonation, it'll sound out of tune
visiting my friend in Trondheim made me think about being outgoing and having money, and how one pretty much requires the other.
in a scenario where i moved there and he introduced me to his circle of friends, my life would suddenly get a lot more expensive, because they're always going out together.
i'm mostly used to spending in shops as opposed to bars and restaurants. i get the thing i want and i leave. it's usually something affordable like bread. other than that, i barely spend at all.
it's relatively easy to be poor if you live like that. you just don't need all that much money. but it also doesn't make you any friends.
the intonation on the new fretless bass is a bit off for the B and E strings (it's a 5-string). not much i can do about that, i assume, since the bridge is like on an acoustic guitar.

everyone on norden.social is German
Norden is the Nordic word for "the Nordic region"
Germany is not Nordic. why are you using our name...
Oppenheimer had high IQ and low executive function

made great discoveries but had an inability to focus, so other people stole the limelight.
it's a common story for people with #ADHD. bright, but not equipped with brains that are patient and able to follow things through.

i try to make sure to find something good to say when someone actually made something.
not like "despite this being utter shit, i will say it's great"
more like "this part is good"

i have a played a bit of bass before, but not a fretless one
