Yeah I could do that

Fair enough! They’re not cheap. At the same time, if you are specifically looking for a wallet made from thick leather that won’t fall apart probably ever, these are probably the cheapest you can get (at least when on sale) for the level of quality you’re receiving

Awesome!

I don’t think there’s an auto cross post feature, at least not that I know of. Mod abilities here are more rudimentary than on Reddit for sure. I’ll look into it though

Republic of Doyle is a great Newfie show. Plus Allan Hawco is great. I met him at a Costco in St. John’s once, buying peaches with Mark Critch. Both awesome people, super friendly.

I’m not against the idea, but I’m not sure how I’d be able to implement it. Most product suggestions come from the users here so all I could really do is ask people to include if the product they’re recommending is exclusive to a specific province. I suppose I could add that to the rules. I will eventually have a master post with a bunch of Canadian alternatives and I could include province-specific labels at that time though

That sounds like a great idea. I’ll see what I can do

[–] LightOnFoot 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I like the idea but I’m not sure how easy it will be to compile a list of that size. I’m definitely open to it, and might start writing down some products as I see them posted here, and maybe in the future make a giant list of recommended substitutes. Maybe for now I’ll look for a website that does something similar and link to it, until I can get a good list of my own

Ah, gotcha. I started piano when I was little so I honestly can’t remember what books I used before RCM, but I know I didn’t use RCM for my first couple years. If I end up thinking of it I’ll let you know.

If you do need high level books in the future, I still stand by G. Henle Verlag 100%. RCM is good until grade/level 10 but ARCT is way too vague I find. I was with my teacher up to and including grade 10 but then I stopped taking lessons and continued on my own. RCM ARCT is basically everything harder than grade 10 if my memory serves me correctly, but there’s a ton of stuff in that category that is at varying complexity. I believe Henle level 3 or 4 is RCM ARCT, and Henle goes up to 9. It’s definitely for more advanced players obviously, but once you get past grade 10 Henle makes way more sense. Calling Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 15 No. 2 the same level as Liszt’s Transcendental Etude No. 4 seems pretty ridiculous to me. The former I can play no problem, the latter makes my head explode. I know they’re different styles but still, the point stands

Hey! Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it!

I’d be open to a wiki, if someone else could do it. I’m not the most tech-savvy, but I’d happily link to it or whatever I need to do to make it visible to this community.

In the sidebar I’m going to add a few related communities for folks to check out. Look for that shortly. If you notice any are missing, feel free to let me know. You can reply to this comment or reach out to me directly. Either is fine.

[–] LightOnFoot 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds good. If you come up with any ideas and want to run it past me first or if you want to talk for any other reason feel free to DM me

[–] LightOnFoot 2 points 2 months ago

Totally agreed.

If you ever want to reach out to me, maybe you’ve got an idea you want to run by me or for any other reason, my DMs are always open :)

I tried that one when I visited their distillery last year. I thought it was pretty good, but it was a tasting and so the fact I also tried the Confederation Oak at the same time, probably didn’t help much. Maybe I’ll pick up a bottle the next time I want a cheaper whisky. I don’t really have a go-to Canadian at that price point, though I have been enjoying Canadian Club 12 Year recently. Way better than the regular CC, which I find to be a pretty boring drink.
