Bleeping Lobster

Ahhhh fascinating.

For years, I’ve been adamant that when I stir a cup of hot tea or coffee, the pitch of the scraping spoon almost imperceptibly shifts, and assumed it was because of the gradual slight cooling of the water. Nobody else could seem to hear what I heard.

Wasn’t sure if it was my music producer ears or imagination.

No Man’s Sky - Finally lifting off the planet into space for the first time reignited my love of space and the cosmos. Made me feel awe and wonder

The Stanley Parable - never had a game make me laugh till I had tears in my eyes before. This game really fucks with your perception of what is real and just how common / predictable some gaming tropes have become

I try really hard to be respectful of someones pronoun choice but I will readily admit I find ‘they/them’ requires quite active concentration and thought not to refer to someone as she / he.

It doesn’t bother me to just hit ESC after I open it, can see how that would bug others (though tbf that’s the point, and it remains free for me to use despite escaping out of that request for decades). Are there any advantages in speed of compression by switching to a different program?

I’m a basic bitch, winrar for life. If I need mac compatibility I save as a zip instead of a rar. Seems I am alone in my basic bitchness, my assumption was that all compression utilities are doing the same thing… how come you’re all using something different?

A fair question. It’s just shoes with hidden wheels, anything where there’s a visible effort that creates motion doesn’t seem to trigger this odd phobia!

Wheels on kids shoes.

I am fully aware that this is massively influenced by my utter revulsion on seeing the Wheelers (Wizard of Oz) for the first time as a kid, but now I think about it, maybe it’s actually dangerous too. Creeps me the fuck out though seeing a human being with motionless legs just glide past.

I tried, but they wouldn’t let us into the nice pool, despite how hot a day it was, because they thought we were trash. We tried to make our own pool from an abandoned one, but instead we got trapped inside it

Slight tangent, but autocorrect seems to have gotten terrible the last year or so. My theory: as more and more people are using it, the initial dataset is being diluted by more and more bad typers. Instead of improving the dataset, it’s pulling it in so many different directions that it doesn’t know which way is up anymore

Build it and they will come edit someone already did!

I wonder, could this problem be solved by adding some ‘junk’ data to each access request? With that junk data being a unique identifier, so the authorities can setup a sting to catch whoever is selling access

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks

Do you think they did it this way because it would be too painful to tattoo fingertips? Can you tattoo fingertips?!

No need to get pissy, I was just trying to re-explain myself in a way you’d understand.

Ah well it was worth a try.

I’m guessing then it’s a sample rate issue, unfortunately I don’t use Linux so don’t think I can be of much help there. I know I’ve had issue before where the interface and windows were both set to a different rate (44.1 / 48) and it caused all sorts of serious sound issues. Hope you figure it out, when I can’t figure out an issue with my music setup it drives me nuts!

I said free healthcare at the point of use, not free healthcare. And it’s nothing like your US systems, I was personally charged £0 for my emergency appendictomy surgery, £0 for the ambulance ride, and £0 for the hospital stay.

This I think is a key part of misunderstandings… I’m not trying to protect capitalism, I’m trying to be realistic in how we go about modifying society towards more socialist goals. We’re not going to upend the global capitalist systems in our lifetime, I don’t think. And imo things are going to get worse before they get better, as wealth continues to be concentrated in fewer hands, as productivity increases due to further automation. I hope the tipping point isn’t something that causes massive loss of life, like the collapse of civilisation.

It’s like… imagine you have a lake filled with crocodiles, sharks, and jellyfish. We need to get to the other side. Wanting to get there isn’t enough, we need a solution. We can just keep endlessly pushing people in expecting them to somehow cross the lake (trying to ‘destroy’ capitalism), or we can build a bridge across (slowly modify capitalism to have strongs checks and balances). Anyway it’s just my personal opinion, I stand by it

This sounds very much like the problems I had recently with two different brand new interfaces, trying to connect over USB-C. Fortunately they were both bundled with a C-to-A USB cable, which had them both working perfectly.

Over USB-C it was disto city, like when a cable is half-unplugged. I thought maybe it was something to do with the type of USB-C ports my laptop has (one is thunderbolt, one is dual-C / thunderbolt). What sort of cable are you using?

You can have socialist policies without being a socialist society. Our (UK) NHS is a socialist policy, free healthcare at the point of use. My country is decidedly not socialist!
