  • We're humans, social creatures. A lot of happiness we experience comes from human connection

    There is nothing more isolating than climbing to the top on a pile of everyone you ever knew.

    Money in significant quantity brings isolation

  • Budweiser is currently cheaper in Germany than in the United States*

    Jump

  • Surprised they can sell bud for even that price in Germany

  • This is all over the place

  • Australians banned teens from using social media. Now, Australians are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes

  • A dude got up to 90mph on a bike just off his own steam before

    I remember all the adverts when I was a kid telling me that if I got hit by a car at 30mph there was a 90% chance I'd live (this was the happy path of the advert). This is also cars ostensibly driven by licensed people.

    E-bikes with a 25mph limiter are not a risk if we allow cars in the same space as pedestrians

  • Average American has just $955 saved for retirement, study finds

  • And you guys don't have a state pension either, right?

    You guys really need to get on with a revolution. Work until you die is kinda supposed to be something we are moving away from

  • Did you all know these things can be pickled???

    Jump

  • I know you seem to be having a bit of a radish moment

    But lemme tell you, you can pretty much pickle anything edible that's not been particularly processed

    If you're just living a monopickle life with gherkins, you need to step out into the universe outside your door

    Any given person's sandwich game is directly proportional to the selection of tang they have available to them

  • Well it's more of a perk for a donation the way I see it,

    But hey, it also breaks even after 25 years..!

    I think I've had one my current email addresses for about 20 years

  • Ah, apologies for the misunderstanding, I didn't check usernames and did think you were the same person!

    I think we're more or less on the same page given the extra context

  • I think you're missing the point a bit.

    In modern audio production, there's nearly always a laptop or something involved. The alternative approach is known as a "no computer"/"DAW-less" approach, where you replace everything a computer would be doing, with outboard hardware.

    Also worth highlighting It's not necessarily about being 100% analog. For example, at the end of the day a eurorack trigger signal is obviously digital by nature, but it's also nothing to do with a computer. You only need a couple of transistors, resistors and a capacitor to make a square wave oscillator after all

    The screen you're pointing out is part of an Arturia BeatStep Pro which is a MIDI controller. It is also probably the only thing in his rig pictured that comes close to that. Most of the modules in the rig have build videos on his channel, and you can see they are not dressed up raspberry pis or anything like that, and basically all analog components.

    Now sure you could fence out a minimum viable computer definition that allows you to call anything with a microcontroller a computer, but you'd be including things like TV remote controls, car keys and microwave ovens.

  • I gotta ask where the idea for this one came from

  • TIL for at last 15 years US government has been able to implant hardware into USB cables to turn them into hacking devices with wireless capability.

  • Not just the US government, anyone has been able to do this for years

    I can 100% believe there are a shitload of them spending their final years vomiting bile into internet comment sections, completely earnestly

    We can't fix any problem without taxing rich

  • Not unpopular

    The language around it needs to be more focused though

    Wealth tax is the mechanism this needs to occur, taxing income doesn't touch these people

  • The Torygraph reporting on something adjacent to mental health issues?

    I bet that's going to not make me hate humanity by reading it..!

  • There isn't a person on earth that doesn't look cooler with sunglasses on.

    Jump

  • There's definitely exceptions

    Gotta say those flippy top ones only look cool if you can pull off a full 80s beach holiday look with it. Those light reactive ones kinda end up giving history teacher vibes rather than cool vibes any time I've seen them. Oakley's when not on a ski slope (and even then tbh) kinda makes the wearer look like an out of touch boomer.

    I'm not a big fan of those super thin 90s styles coming back in, but some people can definitely pull them off, I think face shape comes into play a lot more with them

  • Legitimately this has been strongly suspected and borderline just known since about a decade ago

    Anyone who doesn't know at this point is willfully ignorant

  • French prosecutors request 5-year ban on Marine Le Pen from holding office

    Jump

  • Yes 5 years is definitely enough time for someone to cool off about being a fascist

    We definitely don't have any recent examples that would indicate that it's not enough time to keep someone away from office to limit the damage they could cause
