Violins make sound by dragging the bow (stretched horse hair) over a string, causing the string to vibrate. At the micro level, the bow pulls the string to one side using friction, until the tension on the string pulls it back - this happens hundreds of times per second, and forms the basis of the sound we hear. Horse hair is slippery by default. To create the necessary tension violinists apply a small amount of solidified tree resin by wiping a piece along the length of the bow. This piece of hardened resin has the same approximate texture as glass or hard candy, and is called rosin.
No. It comes in pucks or small blocks and you simply draw the bow across it or pass the rosin up and down the length of the bow a few times and that’s usually enough. Too much rosin can gum up the bow.
Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding “like a violin”, so naturally there’s very little innovation in violin technology.
I have access to netflix but always pirate while connected to Trakt in order to have a history of what i watched and to be able to continue watching wherever, whenever
We are so numb to it now but everyone forgets what it was like when the doors to the internet opened and we were all face to face with strangers and had no clue what we were suppose to do.
Being a total fuckwad seems like an option when you contrast it to how mundane the rest of your life was before the internet.
Like I remember sitting on the bus as a kid desperately ignoring every thing around me because I just wanted to do the shit and go home. That, school, and the ride back were the only social interactions with strangers that was expected of me. When we got cable internet and we started pumping the outside world directly into our eyeballs, telling it to “go fuck itself” seemed somewhat appropriate.
I always just say I pirate it. What’s surprised me is the number of people who then ask where I got it from. I assumed most normies would look down on it more than has been my experience.
At my job my experience has been that people act like you would also steal money or something. I tend to say I forgot where the show streams Google it.
Does multiple research papers count? All of them related to the Relational Model, the foundation for relational database management systems. I’m also currently digging through the Postgres manual (only 3000 pages short).
