Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Not enough of these people grew up religious. A powerful being will punish me in the future for not serving it now? Especially now that I've heard of it? Yeah, I've heard that one before. Hardly groundbreaking. 020
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Add 3/8 to both to get 4 7/8 - 2, then subtract the 2 to get 2 7/8. 020
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It can vary. For me it's alveolar in "telling" but dental in "tamales." 100
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 25/08/2026"A Short Stay in Hell" makes the Library of Babel into a hell where the way out is to find the one book that tells your own life story, with no spelling or grammar errors. 132
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Yes. I personally find it more comfortable to sing parts instead of the melody-only version in the Hymnal 1982 -- and Vaughan Williams wrote good hymn parts. If singing melody only, lower voices may prefer it to be a bit lower than it's usually written. 020
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 10/08/2026This is an accurate description of Sacred Harp singing! 140
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Beethoven's 7th, especially the slow movement. Or the slow movement from the Bach double violin concerto. 0170
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Some are more floral than the label might suggest. I wonder if "unisex" means "fragrance free" or a fragrance with less gendered associations. 1170
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Man in my 40s; friends seem to come most easily through hobbies. In my case, choral music and other singing, but anything that gets your friend into the same room as other people with shared interests could work. 000
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 02/02/2026I don't think we do, the the point that it's weird seeing it in the wild. Like, "I forget what this means but it looks like a slur, should we really... oh, right, that's what it means -- I have no problem with this." 010
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 12/01/2026"Improving" or "improved"? Sometimes I say "Better -- not well, but better." 010
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Or on the outside of your grilled cheese sandwich before frying for perfectly browned bread. 180
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I'd change it to 75% of 60, then think of a clock and remember that three quarters of 60 minutes is 45 minutes. So, 45. 010
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 24/06/2025Personally I found that explanation confusing when I was confirmed. Didn't I already renew my baptismal vows on the first Sunday after Epiphany? And at the Easter Vigil? And a few other times every year for several years? 130
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 05/05/2025I recall that 144 is 12 times 12, divide one of the 12s by 4 to get 3, and multiply by the other 12 to get 36. 144/4 (12*12)/4 12*(12/4) 12*3 36 000
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Reversing it to sing HOTRS to the Cleansing Fountain tune is pretty fun, too! (...know I'm one.) 010
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 18/03/2025I agree with Evelyn. I'll just add that if you want one quirky side trip, Gilgal Gardens is a local sculptor's backyard turned into a city park. Where else can you see a sphinx with the head of Joseph Smith? But it won't be as informative as the museum. 120
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Also, what are you looking for? History, art, nature? Weekday/weekend? How much time do you have? Of course, stop in at St Mark's! @stmarksslc.bsky.social 030
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 17/03/2025FWIW the LDS Church History Museum is self guided, so it's easy enough not to talk to the missionaries. The daily Tabernacle organ recitals are good for a briefer Mormon experience. A lot of the other LDS stuff (where a missionary might want to talk) is closed for Temple Square construction. 150
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Done, thanks! We do not need soulless content-stealing machines to have a role in The Episcopal Church. 050
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 30/12/2024No "Far, far away on Judea's plains"? Sometimes I miss that one, this time I'd year. 000
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 07/12/2024I remember noticing it pre-pandemic. It's most noticeable when the inversion is bad. In clear air you really only notice the light on the statue, not where it's coming from. 000
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Sacred Harp singing is one of my favorite things -- so glad you got to try it out! 010
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 29/10/2024Same -- I love to see a baptism at any age, but I treasure the memory of my own full immersion baptism at age 8. Thanks for bringing it to mind. 020
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 21/05/2024Except for rye whiskey, where "spicy" seems to mean something on the clove/cinnamon/nutmeg spectrum of baking spices. 010
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 15/11/2023"He died like he lived: on the roof of a cathedral" (Glad it ended well) 040
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 30/10/2023I guess we have to follow each other for that to work. Just followed you there. 110
Michael Rasmussen @rossras.bsky.social · 30/10/2023I'm in a cathedral choir and I'm an okay pianist (can play hymns). Not a composition expert, but I'd be happy to take a look if it helps. Will DM on Twitter. 210
