The Holocaust aka “the final solution” was the result of a logistic issue. The Nazi’s initial plan was to deport the jews.

I have no expectations of USA doing anything different when they realize the cost of keeping people alive in prisons.

Try it, but don’t get disappointed if it doesn’t match your childhood memories at first try.

The ones my parents had in the garden wouldn’t be found in a store. They’re honestly just plain bad, but they’re the ones I remember most fondly.

Apples are much more useful in cooking, except for desserts, where pears are better.

How come?

Using the gift of knitwear. It’s so hip.

Lol.

I believe it’s called data poisoning, which theoretically could be used to hack something in some theoretical situation.

It’s not the case here. He simply left a turd on the sidewalk and then the AI picked it up.

I don’t think they even care about profits anymore.

Billionaires live in the balance sheet, not the P/L statements.

It’s possible in Denmark too. However they usually only get to the conclusion that they need help after they have been caught in possession of illegal materials.

The psychologists working on it have difficulty getting funding for research. The questions are if it really is a disease on it’s own and if it’s treatable. There’s not a lot of valid data to work with. This made the news last year or so.

I’m no psychologist but my impression is that it’s more like a symptom of a different trauma, which might make more sense to throw money at. It would be interesting to hear from the psychologists who work in prisons.

Anyway, the foundation Save The Children has hotlines for young people who are concerned with their sexuality in one way or the other.

Honestly, no, I don’t want an easy way to convert.

I generally dislike temperatures.

No, the guitar to amp “instrument line” has even lower current than the line in.

The only hazard with music instruments is if someone turns on phantom power 48V to a microphone that doesn’t use it. Then the grill can give a nasty shock and typically right on the lips.

It appears to be a line signal, so it should be fine. But then again, we can’t see what’s on the other end. Could be a nuclear power plant for all we know.

Sometimes they’re right though.

Of course not if it’s a verifiable fact, but as I’ve grown older, I have seen plenty of historical “facts” getting proven to be wrong. All it takes is for a young mind to challenge the existing views.

Having an open mind is more important than being right. Most inventions happen by accident while pursuing something else, something wrong.

Some people will argue that reversing everything would set a precedent for future governments.

Fuck those people.

It has already been proven that the republicans have no intention of honoring previous decisions. There is no high road any longer. Everything must go.

something about audio that attracts an atmosphere of wilful ignorance

I think it’s the lack of a shared vocabulary.

Everyone likes some music better than other music, and so everyone think they can tell the difference between good and bad music. However, nobody can explain the difference in plain words.

This easily leads to the conclusion that it is fully subjective, and this is where the ignorance comes from. If nobody can explain what good music is, then my own voodoo explanation is as good as any.

However, we can talk about music theory, audio production and sound analysis in scientific terms to the point where we can even reproduce certain sounds based on the description. But we can’t really understand the description without actually experiencing the sound.

It’s similar to somebody saying “I don’t like this cake” or someone saying “my taste receptors react to the umami in this cake”, but I still wouldn’t have a clue about how the cake tastes.

Sound is also different from other sciences in that there is very little proof of one thing being more correct than others. And that goal changes constantly. Whenever somebody does crack the code to what people enjoy, it’ll get boring really quick.

I had a music teacher long ago who said that there is no bad music, only wrong audiences. His point was that the music that makes it through to the recording and publishing will already have passed the filter where someone made a decision if there is an audience for it. If you hear bad music, then you’re just not the right audience.

Anyway, cables. Who cares. The end result is the most important part. However, I’d prefer to hook up the instruments on stage with thick cables instead of bananas. Same thing applies at home. Any wire will do, but cheap wires do break.

I imagine a conservative drummer to be someone who shows up with a snare only.

Num pad is much faster for clean numbers than num row because you can use the thumb on zero, allowing you to use all 5 fingers without ever moving the hand.

However the secret to achieve true mad man number typing speeds is to use both hands. Num row is for the left hand. Num pad is for the right hand.

This can be optimized by positioning your left hand on 1 to prepare yourself for Benford’s Law which tells us that a majority of numbers start with 1.

Actual numbers also includes many zeros (but rarely starts with one). The fat zero key on num pad has room for two fingers, just saying.

Video for anyone who hasn’t seen it

Is that close to Nassau without the N?

Five nights at Freddy’s is a media franchise that includes games and movies. It’s a horror story about a pizza place that has teddy bear like robots who are also ghosts of children.

It is or was popular among preteens for a while. It’s somewhat similar to Poppy Playtime, with the characters being used all over tik-tok and Roblox etc.

I have no idea nor desire to know how it makes any sense as porn, or why any adult would even want to create that kind of content.
