Yeah, that’s so much effort, I’d want to be paid extra for it.

we already had meters before we knew the speed of light.
It’s true.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the metric system.
Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
- Comment on What if reincarnation is real, but you were probably plankton in your last life, so you don’t remember anything anyway? 2 days ago:
Technically it’s true. There’s a high chance bits and pieces of you have been used in other life several times, though you were more likely parts of plants than other creatures.
And when you die, you’ll be reused again. Nature has always been like that.

Yeah, it’s the parents. Their views are passed on with every minute in the household. Children absorb.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 3 days ago:
Yeah. Few times a week I go to mine to chat with all the locals over two or three beers then head home. It’s a nice way to wind down, be out, and socialise at a really low intensity. No organising is needed, just arrive and there’ll be someone there you know.
That was kind of the point of pubs (public house). A place for the community to meet up in any weather and have a good time together whether games, sharing stories, or having a meal. The smaller the town, the friendlier and more tight the patrons are too. Also great places to frequent when travelling, meeting new locals, getting great travel advice, making friends for the few days you’re there.
- Comment on thats all 3 days ago:
It’s all situational. A skirt is better than both if you’re not doing anything where a seam is needed. But I’d rather hike or swim in something with trunks.

- Comment on Louvre security vs CVS 3 days ago:
There’s a locked liquor cabinet at my local store. It’s at the back with the wines and cheeses.
Trying to find someone to open it for you is such a mission. And because it only boasts lower end spirits, you feel like such an fiend chasing down a store member who can radio the person with the key, who takes five mins to arrive, just for a bottle of low-mid tier whiskey.
There’s $10 sake in there. On the unlocked shelf next to it you could grab a $60 merlot.

Huh, weird.
Okay, I’m definitely trying again.
Some of my older gear is fine, but an example of something that wasn’t working was my TD-27 V2 on a kit. What module is on yours?

Yeah I have tried it, but didn’t have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.
I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I’d rather just be able to plug into the DAW.

Getting news off Lemmy is a shit-for-brains idea. It’s 70% bias saturated US politics links. I have no.idea how people keep lapping it up, but I hear that’s the culture of Americans being told what to believe and do based on their feeds.
You can block keywords, though, so if anyone posts any interesting news, you may even get to see it.

Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.

- Comment on Has anyone noticed these new spam techniques used by music channels on youtube? 1 week ago:
Blocked Shorts in first weeks because it quickly was full of this.
And if anyone wants to discover music, get a scrobbler for a good music network. By design, algorithms pigeonhole. That’s just how math works. You need the tried and true method of community sharing and (most) scrobblers are, essentially, a modern take on “word of mouth”. Music has only ever been best discovered and broadened to listeners when recommended from other explorers.

Are you telling me the very shifted definition of Artificial Intelligence no actually lacks intelligence?!
Next you’ll be trying to tell me it’s just old mathematical algorithms running incredibly fast on modern technology so as to give the illusion of machine intelligence.
- Comment on Assetto Corsa Rally announced for Early Access in November 1 week ago:
AC Evo is tracking at exactly the pace they had planned, but I share the concern. I’d rather Evo continue unhindered. Was expecting they’d meet the goals above the bare minimum. The driving, at least, seems to be exceptionally ahead. But ya, all the other features, might be bare minimum ticked which is always disappointing.
Have to lsonremember the demand for rlly over track sim at the moment too. Seems it’d be better to make rally off the sicc ss of a polished Evo rather than try tackle two at once.

- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 1 week ago:
I like my PC being my PC. The more it does things I don’t ask of it or tell it to do, the more I will seek alternatives.
One of the most frustrating parts of MS products these days is that you’re just along for the ride. And unlike Apple which is just the same, MS has far less intuitive behaviour or method. I would say their products are for beginners or those not tech literate, but the failure rate and amount of complex troubleshooting required for MS products and environments are easily the most challenging and frequent. It does not help that Windows Update constantly introduces new issues to the OS and other software while undoing any previous workarounds.

Since this is just picture witha “scientists” statement, which are usually false facts …
Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer.
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 2 weeks ago:
We don’t really get drug and insurance stuff in my country like the US. Product1234, if it can actually be determined, is often some sort of web service that helps by doing something “all in the one place” or some shit.
But as I said, often literally nfi. Like maybe their plan is to have their isolating commercial cause me to go to the effort of Googling them.
I do find US ads funny, though. Its like they’re made by non-humans trying to do humans. Fake children laughter, soft voices, lots of smiles and well-ironed light clothes. Often ends with a slightly slow-mo shot of someone turning to camera and smiling, like that person has anything to do with anything and I know them, a voiceover trying to me like, “Because we’re in this together” or some weird shit.
Like, “Wow. I didn’t know Super United Allied Mega Insurance cared.” sniffle
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 2 weeks ago:
I notice more and more ads just try to be my friend.
They don’t advertise anything about their product, I have nfi what they do. They’re just trying to align with me in the weirdest generic way.
“This is Sam. Sam works hard every day. Sam likes their family. Sam laughs with their friends. Sam enjoys a movie on the couch with their partner. Sam enjoys Product1234.”
- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 2 weeks ago:
Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.
Uuuuh… This place is a breeding ground of heavily biased propaganda. Just look at your feed, it’s all news articles reinforcing a side of things. It’s got its fair share of users that don’t look at things from a broad perspective and most get mad when they perceive their opinion is being challenged, even when it’s not. That’s why it’s riddled with posts that aren’t for interest; they’re rooted in agenda that is to either push narrative or reinforce ego.
And if your filter lists aren’t full of users, communities, and instances, it’s very plausible your mind my be one that’s easily duped, because the shits got to be one of the most obvious places on the internet to spot it. Part of the Lemmy experience is maintaining and customising the feed.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. Immigration and emigration are really normal innocent terms to sort of explain populus as a commodity around a country’s borders. Social, economical, skills, etc. They’re just normal things countries enact to increase, decrease, or balance depending on their internal situation. And that’s entirely reasonable because it’s the only thing in place that kind of controls our species’ population to secure itself and all the shit we impact on ourselves and the environment.
So, it makes sense for a country to open up when it can sustain or needs more people. It’s like leaving the door open, “Come on in, please.”
In other times, it’s to prevent damage like, “Sorry, we’d normally love to have you but we can’t afford it right now unless you’re bringing your own beer.”
The US, right now, with it’s low employment rate and Trump’s dreams of being self-sustaining in many industries, guess what? The US needs to open up its borders BIG TIME for that and needs to incentivise it for that scale too.
But to many Americans, “immigrants” does not mean that. Could b the smartest motherfucker out there, but they don’t care you’re a dual PhD holder and know four languages, you have an accent and your skin is white; you’re a fucking “immigrant” lol.

That’s any smart device. Unless you’re the one.doimg the updates.yoirself, they will all become obsolete as technology evolves. This is the case here too; sounds they just don’t have enough people using them to justify figuring out how to keep them working as new devices and platforms roll on. 9.5 years is an alright run, comparatively.

Have done similar in high altitude. It’s great for when the gloves come off starting a fire. I’m against the one-use heat packs and don’t take electrics besides nav, light, and beacon. Then once you’ve got good parameter bearings, you can pour it out in the designated “pee spot”.
