I wouldn’t mind more foreign car companies if it means alternatives to what’s being offered today. I don’t see why they should be restricted if most industries don’t also have similar restrictions.

This has been my experience as well. Many owners want to know about issues before they fester. I'm fortunate to have an attentive property manager and a landlord who is interested in doing the preventative maintenance to keep the units

I intuitively put this much effort into asking good questions when I need help, and what I often find is that by spending time to formulate a question that makes it easy for others to help me I end up discovering the answer for myself or id

There are tools to mitigate clipping artifacts, and tools to generate new transients for overly compressed files, but they're not a silver-bullet and the new material that is generated is more of a best guess than a true replacement fo

If you want an excellent explanation of why proposals for new notation systems like you’re suggesting have been developed (and failed) Tantacrul has made an excellent video describing the history and tradeoffs that lead us to our current sy

This. The loudness is an aesthetic choice. The reason it was backed off for the vinyl master is most likely due to physical limitations of the medium. If the audio channels are too loud (wide) there is risk that the needle will jump out of

And who, exactly, would approve that misguided proposal? I suspect you’re not involved in contemporary record making. Like it or not, clipping is a technique and a color that producers, mixers, and mastering engineers all choose to impart f

Yes. Zero dynamic range. If everything is at a “10” in linguistic intensity (“Incredible”, “Legendary”, “GOAT”) then nothing is exceptional. It’s the linguistic equivalent of a Dorito chip. I’m American and this marketing/corporate spe

Agreed. It's not a great analogy. I'm annoyed because you keep referring to the cost of a license as "gate-keeping" or somehow "hiding away" your ability to use the software. Pay the cost for a license or don&#

Max/MSP has always been a paid tool. There was never a situation when you were going to be able to participate without paying. This sounds a little like you're complaining that you cannot watch all of the free Youtube content beca

fwiw, you can easily see the contents of these tabs from your inbox. Each tab shows a preview of their two most recent emails, so you can easily monitor the activity. I check them directly 1-2 times a day with a single click. Things rarely

GP post is correct; you are reading way too far into it. Zero superiority intended. I'm stating it as a style of how I manage my inbox. It's not some big achievement on my part. It's how I stop from feeling overwhelmed by my

If I configure my rules today and then tomorrow I sign up for a new site do I have to amend my rules to also filter the new site? Because that's too much manual management. It's not a lot for a single site, yes, but x10 new sites

I unsubscribe aggressively. I keep my inbox well maintained, but that's still not the feature I'm talking about. My work sends me several shipping notifications a day, but they are not priorities. They are emails to be reviewed la

Does it automatically filter my email into tabs for primary, promotions, social, and updates? Cause that is the single most useful feature offered by Gmail that I have yet to find elsewhere. I'm not talking about manually tagging, sett

I’d hardly consider a movie theater a liminal space. To me a theater is a destination, not a transitional area. That said I do like your description of “falling through the skin of the world.” A+.

Agreed. When conditions are bad we need to stand tall and fix it the best we can, rather than vacating and conceding a once-loved institution. Once we vacate and leave it to the unsavory forces, then it’s truly lost and corrupted. Scrap to

Gosh. Great choice. That video (Nothing Is Punk Anymore) really gets to the heart of Lewis and Luiza’s writing. Their ethos. I come back to this video once a year to renew my spirit and orient myself.

Good movie criticism is alive and well. You simply need to expand your vision beyond anyone who relies on Rotten Tomatoes or (probably) Letterbox. That's probably not it. Youtube is a great place to start looking. It has a lot of trash

Glad to hear it. An underground K-Line extension was recently approved to go through my neighborhood. This is after a small handful of 2-3 homeowners caused it to be delayed by 18 months over objections that seismic activity from drilling w

As a record maker, I'd say record making is under attack from Suno about as much as novelists are under attack from Chat GPT. Both still require a crafts person to steer the tools, if they're to be used at all. Yes there will be s

I have no qualms with a long movie. If the story is great I want to live in that world for as long as possible. A 95 min movie can feel like an eternity (good or bad) and a 3 hour movie can fly by and leave you wanting more. The problem, as

I give it three months before it's ironically adopted by a broader audience or else sincerely adopted by people who see some value in the ethos. As if often the case, the lines will be blurred. Sometimes I think people just want to be

Yeah. It sounds more like a dulcimer (hammered). If someone asked me to guess the instrument violin would not have been my first guess.

I had a friend named Michael Jackson who went by a different first name. I didn't even know until several years later when he showed a group of us his drivers license and accidentally outed himself.

Consider that your experience isn’t universally applicable to everyone. As a lifelong musician, I find it to be a great resource for discovery. I really lean into curating what I do and don’t want to see and it delivers amazing results freq
