They do actually! For a 4/4 beat (4 beats per measure and the quarter note gets the beat, meaning 4 quarter notes per measure), they will move the baton straight down for 1 (the “down beat”), left (usually) for 2, right for 3, and up for 4. Different time signatures will have more or less movements, such as 3/4 time (3 beats per measure) will be down (1), left (2), and up (3).

Further, there are other movements like a wide slash left to right is a stop motion for everyone to instantly stop playing.

It wouldn’t be the first… the KGB assassinated a guy with one at least once.Bulgarian Umbrella

That belongs to Rock of Ages!

I agree with you 100%. I do also feel that those files may be the Achilles heel as both sides of the aisle (that haven’t actually engaged in those activities, which I believe and hope are the vast majority) can agree on.

I hope you don’t mind, but I’m totally stealing this.

TIL, thanks. But it doesn’t really change how screwed we are currently.

I’m sure about the time he gets Hugo Boss to design the new ICE SS uniforms he’ll be telling everyone how the little guy with the tiny mustache was just misunderstood and his stormtroopers were great for the German economy.

Pre-nut and post-nut…

I wonder if the alligators will think they taste like bubblegum… /s. Seriously though, looks like a nice peaceful relaxing outing!

Punched a Nazi.

The difference will be that we have guns and excellent communication technologies. Also, as a vet I refuse to believe our military members would obey such orders. That’s one of the things that was strongly taught when I was in, you have a responsibility to disobey an illegal order. The “I was just following orders” excuse hasn’t been acceptable for some time.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker. If I’m wanting to play a game but don’t have anything specific it usually means I just want a mental break from life. Shipbreaker is perfect for that. It’s fun and engaging but you play at your own pace and no one is shooting at you. Plus you’re floating around in space with 6 degrees of movement (not considering 360 degrees of rotation) tearing apart spaceships!

Came here to say this, but you beat me to it.

Seconded!

Get a motorcycle. Ok, so if you don’t know how to ride, get a cheap second hand bike under 600cc and take the MSF Basic Rider course. Guaranteed to spice up your life, give you a desire to get out of the house, and you’ll meet many cool people.

I played Atari 2600 back when it was the console to have. I didn’t see a pixel that wasn’t square until I was a man. You think you know old gaming. I was born into it, molded by it, and it made me what I am today; an old man with back pain.
