I’m a sound engineer, I have to go to concerts, it’s kind of my job.

That little nod by the drone was beautiful.

There’s a lot of things under the streets of New York, many of them cause heat. In order to cool them off the heat is vented outside and the warm moist air meets with the cool dry air and condensates into droplets that we see as steam. Same affect as breathing out on a cold day, you’re not creating steam but it looks that way because the warm moist air from your breath is condensing in the cool dry air.

I am all for a period of time, I do not think it should be at the death of the artist but a set time from creation date. Say 10-15 years, gives the artist time to make their money, while not locking the creativity behind money.

I took a different approach, I put my keys on a carabiner so I jingle when I walk. It makes it really hard to accidentally startle people.

Part of my job involves operate hoists that are lifting several tonnes over the general public. Anything that is even impairment adjacent, like being tired, will get you removed from that position. If you are actually impaired you’re fired no questions.

It’s cyclical, years ago, video quality improved dramatically, and then stagnated for almost 40 years as prices fell until it was economical for video quality to improve again. We likely won’t see a meaningful improvement for another 15-20 years, then prices will come down and then we’ll see another improvement.

Depends on what kind of ai and how much control you want over it. There are some consumer stuff like adobe or elevenlabs, but if a professional is using ai it’s likely either waves or izotope as they give way more control. Personally I use waves, their clarity pro plugins are amazing, but I know several people who use izotope as well.

The problem is doing it in real time and having it sound halfway decent. The only companies who have managed that is waves and Yamaha, the later of which requires hardware that costs $70k+.

Close second would be chopsticks.

Pretty easy if you don’t work for google.

1. Upload everything to a google drive.
2. setup inactive account manager
3. add all the news agencies you can get a hold of, government offices, police etc.
4. make sure it’s read only access.

If they want to silence you they have to 1. Know about your account. 2. Keep it active.

All debt is bad, it is better to not own a house than to pay a mortgage levels of all debt is bad.

The only way you’re not going to be working a minimum wage job is if you have a college degree.

Ignore the financial “advice” of your parents, they’re retiring and still in debt. Real estate, and stock market. Those prices only go up over time, and although it may be difficult in the short term, long term you’ll thank yourself.

Also college is a waste, don’t do it.

The fair housing act doesn’t stop age discrimination, it protects “familial status” meaning they can’t discriminate based on a family having children, or being in a gay or lesbian relationship. It does have three exceptions to the law and they all center around senior communities.

1. Every occupant is 62 or older. (Why 62 I have no idea.)
2. Every household has 1 person who is 55 or older.
3. The community is part of a state or federal housing program that assists elderly people.

Well yea, the Nazi’s were smart enough to not blow up infrastructure, they invaded through blitzkrieg told the locals step out of line and die, and subdued the local population. It was after that they started the genocide, after they had control of the narrative, and could disappear people by saying they stepped out of line, even if they didn’t. They also didn’t intentionally starve the populace, that was a byproduct of pissing off the world.

The Nazi’s didn’t believe in killing everything and everyone, only those that opposed them, and they did it as efficiently as they could. Interestingly enough the view of Jews themselves being evil, was a direct result of how Jews and Jewish leadership, handled education, business, and money. Because they prioritized education and separatism, they were seen as a direct opposition to how Europe prepared for, fought, and rebuilt after WW1. This combined with racial darwinism made them the target.

FTFY

My side hustle is real estate photography. Very flexible timing and I already had all the equipment. If I didn’t already own the equipment I wouldn’t have done it.

It’s not going to be over until one of them concedes which isn’t likely to happen quickly. So I’ll relax after Christmas.

They are the reason the Soviet Union was a near peer to the USA during the cold war. When the Soviet Union lost Ukraine they lost their engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Heck up until the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine was the one servicing all of Russia’s nukes.
