@TrevorGoodchild @Shadowman311 @TornadoOfTerror I know Ill get shit on about this, someone just told me to kill myself about it the other day, but as someone who was perturbed to learn I got MLKUltra'ed in elementary school, I still consider this low quality, me-too, Steele dossier grade evidence.

is there something of actual veracity? like some actual names? or the actual audio recordings that have been alleged? or Obama's kids real parents style photo comparisons?

I'm not trying to shit on the PR win, because I do think that king was a bad person , propped up with oropoganda. I'd just like to know if there is a better grade if evidence than what I've seen so far, because I'm not super impressed.

@grey @IAMAL_PHARIUS I remember that story about the Canadian food coop that was offering free canadian land to someone who would come be a full time employee for a few years.

The article got a lot of hype and was quickly followed by a wave of articles killing dreams with "btw, good luck immigrating without a significant verifiable trade skill, Canada is way more restrictive than the US about qualifications."

Now I wonder if that land went to an Indian who faked his coding degree.

@HonkHonkBoom @mischievoustomato @RedTechEngineer @gentoobro @j I always wondered why the indie market wants to jump to another brand of awkward indie chips. as a casual, it's like "can't we get one set of shit that works good before we'd port tux racer to another platform with no support."

@HonkHonkBoom @mischievoustomato @RedTechEngineer @gentoobro @j seems like every improvement to arm is set back by os upgrades that the chips aren't ready for.

@BowsacNoodle @Frondeur @annakatarina I've found the biggest factor in longevity for me is separating things based on how many buttons and zippers it has. Seems like clothes destroy other clothes more than the settings I use.

Also separating by fabric weight does a lot to help with consistency of drying. When you mix a lot of fabric grades, a lot of times you've nuked one item while another is still drying out. My dryer will fight you by default over the dryness sensor, so ensuring that everything dries evenly is a sound start to not overdoing it.

@MelGibsonafter4Beers @Largo @joancallamezzo123 @Orkin_Awk @nugger @Bunsen @Shadowbroker2135 @white_male @thefinn @AmonMaritza Legit worldview. Bad optics.

One of the best home-school sentiment I ever read was, "They made it illegal for your kids to get out there and learn anything real.

"Then they want to tell you that you need more babysitting school to solve the problem."

Also seen it argued that child labor is a direct byproduct to poverty and it voluntarily ends when economic conditions are sound. Regardless of state legislation.

Best thing you can do is let young people get jobs and quit harassing their lemonade stands and giving their good jobs to immigrants.

Also the majority of child labor in American history was orphans and there was a huge contingent of young industriousness (inventors and go-getters). The scope of both is poorly understood by the typical modern.

@BowsacNoodle I was wondering how he was handling all the soap, etc., and what you pointed out makes sense.

The only part I had time to read during my bathroom break was the canister filter (prefilter?) notes in the "manual", and he said he recommended change every 150 showers, which would be about every month for my family of 4.

I could see this system being most valuable prepacked with a water tank in a shipping container for remote construction sites, or other areas where rainwater collection isn't viable. It would also be really good as an RV conversion.

There is a company that pioneered containerized wasterwater treatment, and my understanding is that remote construction was a primary part of their business.

@BowsacNoodle very cool idea. I just moved to cistern country and am going with rainwater collection treated for potability to solve this problem. I am going to Strongly consider this.

the energy usage reduction here is great, but the cost of filters at the schedule proposed might be a net negative. hard to figure the math off the cuff.

rainwater has a lot of passive filtration options, and you aren't dumping a lot of soap and stuff into it.

I'm at a disadvantage energy wise, because the layout ofy property requires any collected rainwater to be pumped, but a pure gravity fed rainwater collection system is probably better cost wise. for me it's probably a toss up.

might install one as a hybrid just to be safe for power outages, etc.

very interesting, regardless. hard to believe ideas like this are "fresh" but here we are.

@s2208 @sickburnbro i don't know what, but I'm inclined to believe this anecdotal report from an anonymous NCD account.

@sickburnbro we still think diversity is super important and valuable though, so we'll just watch it and definitely not do anything about it.

@augustus @sun Agreed, especially on the JUST, and that's why I always try to warn people when they are interested in music that it is not the only path.

many people have this idea that theory is fundamental to being a musician and learning music. many people get a little exposure to theory and start to think well I could never be a real musician then, because it would be too far a path to travel.

my development in making music was held back for many years because I struggled trying to apply theory and practice traditional techniques, and I am fairly nerd brain. I have seen so many people give up on music going the traditional theory and rote practice based path.

and I know from experience that, as cool and interesting as they are, that trackers are just a hard way to reason about music, especially as a beginner, and a hard way to sequence music more complex than single loops. I would recommend them over study theory first, but not by much.

I personally think products like synthesia, and Rocksmith 2014 (now abandoned but piratable) are much better path to developing physical music skills than traditional lessons or theory study.

but at the end of the day, an agile and visually experimental path is the most friendly to beginners who aren't focused on tangible skills.

That's why I like and recommend FL studio, especially newer versions, while many prefer more musician friendly or simplified takes on the process. I think it is the best avenue for starting out from a fresh pallette, offers the most versatile options for changing modes of development, and acclimates you to all of the DAW skills that would be more streamlined in other software for specific modes of thinking.

People who already have some training already would probably be best to consider something like reaper, which is less complex and streamlined towards their existing process.

People who are toy players are probably best to get into ACID or Ableton, but those are hard to get into for free and are best if you have invested in the toys already, imo.

@sun @augustus bad idea imo. trackers are very complicated and a hard way to learn.

use FL studio. it's nerd oriented and not tied to musician / theory thinking. it's very visual and easy to pirate.

start with loops. move on to copy paste change. then get into effects.

then just practice experimenting with the keyboard. start using it to record your riffs, then move on to jamming over looks

i know most people who use this method have fun and develop a portfolio. most people who try to learn music theory give up fairly fast and do more work then have fun.

I recorded this song one take in the middle of the night. it's not even one of my better ones, but I did this with minimal formal and theory training. just years of having fun. I couldn't tell you a single thing about what key or scale or anything.

also, stick to just the white or just the black keys if you have trouble staying in key. you can then use transpose (+/-1 shift) to change key.

  Heartbreak Fiasco by Jimmy Universal
  
  from Jimmy Universal
  
  Freestyle piano track I made after the family fell asleep during movie marathon night (including Dead Man's Chest). In my underwear, in the cold living room. Came down to get a water bottle and found myself sitting down. I really wanted to record one last track for the end of the yearly album. Last year I did Sacred Quest, and it really brought me a lot of peace and a sense of conclusion. This time, I didn't get it done before new years, but I feel like this is the one.

@tyler @BowsacNoodle my wife complained the kids treated her like a vending machine, always asking her for snacks.

she's always worried about their "nutrition" and giving their bodies the tools to succeed.

I tell them being hungry is good and suck it up.

they'll go all day without asking me for food not offered and bug her as soon as they see her.

she starting to get the memo though.
