HSE consultant: I teach people how not to be in the next Darwin Awards
Cars shaped city planning, housing and by consequence our lifestyle, making us more dependent on them to get through your day. You can see it expecially in European cities that were built in medieval/reinassance times: if you live and work in the older parts you can totally do without a car. If you move a few kilometers out, not having one becomes a real handicap
Google owns YouTube, so it's technically a media corporation.
I'm going with Google
No need to be sarcastic, I'm not attacking anyone on a personal level.
I know this thread is about songs, in fact I wanted to give credit to the people who actually had an active part in writing these songs (not just producing).
I know people cannot always credit every member working behind a piece of music, like it's a scientific paper, but if you're a lover of this art sometimes is nice to stop and be curious about who these people are and how they work. If you don't you're just a consumer, which is fine but you're missing a big part of the process.
Max Martin is the genius working behind most of the artists mentioned in this thread. The dude is a total hit parade machine and the fact that no one said his name tells me a lot about how music is perceived in the mainstream.
It would be a total bummer if you spent 80$ for a candle and now your house smells like an high school locker room after the football game
Am I the only one that calls my CAT layers stuff like "koala buttfucker", knowing pretty well that I'm the only one who sees it?
[...] 8-10 hour long episodes.
"Now with even more desert panoramics, elegantly scored with Hans Zimmern uninterruptedly farting in an empty can of beans"
My criticism is in fact focused on how the movie was directed, interpreted and cut, I didn't mention the story.
Also, the comparison with The Lord of The Rings is a bold move my friend... I mean, I understand that's about "being just a part of a longer story", but the Fellowship of the Ring is a brilliant example of how a movie should be directed, interpreted and cut.
Sometimes you just want to switch your brain off for a couple hours and watch things go BOOM.
It's something I can totally get behind, although I understand it's not something everyone enjoys
I also havo to see part 2, I just have to wait for my mouth to stop foaming in anger every time someone mentions the word "Dune"
No, never read the books, never read the comics, haven't seen the one from Jodorowsky.
And I don't really know anything about the production process: I judge it solely on what I saw, as any entertainment product should be.
New one.
3 hours of soulless cash grab capitalyzing on the fact that we had been starved of cinema for 2 years and everyone was so hyped to come back no one wanted to admit the movie was a boring mess of everyone involved sucking his own dick instead of working together for a good product.
I don't want to see the twentieth 4 minutes desert panoramic: it's a fucking desert, we get it can we move on? Or the stupidly intense stares between Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson in random situations: you two are stranded in the desert drinking your own sweat and piss, why are you looking at each other like you're going to fuck?
Dune.
Shower me with downvotes, I don't care.
This friend was gifted to me by my next door neighbour in 2009, when I was 17 and it has been love ever since.
Today it was it's cleaning day: I cleaned it all up, scraped the gunk from the fretboard and polished the frets with car scratch remover and at the end it came out so fine that made me want to share a picture with the community.
Take care of your instruments and they will last for a long time.
Hi everyone who's reading: I'm looking for an overdrive pedal that can go into distortion as well when pushed to high gain (or vice versa). I'm using a TS9 clone now and while I love the sound it provides, it cannot go into full distortion. Is there something that woulf help my needs? Plus point if it's a "budget" one
Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode. Wish me luck.
Maybe they keep typing "Erth" and this brings them to the goddamn Triangulum Galaxy or some sht
Last month a friend of mine gifted me his 1997 Epiphone Les Paul 100. He bought it at a pawn shop 15 years ago, played twice and left it at his parents' house since. It was all beat up and dusty, the wood was so dry and brittle that when I poured olive oil in the truss rod shaft, it made the sound of someone taking the last sip of soda with a straw. The stock electronics were really cheap to begin with and all this time made them disgustingly crunchy. !
And one of the previous owners swapped the stock knobs with four Strat style tone knobs, which should be enough to be condemned for war crimes and be waterboarded for years. !
So I spent the last month rummaging second hand websites and shops for spare parts. The best deal I got was finding these wonderful Tesla Opus-2, humbucker sized P90 pickups that sound wonderful. Even at full price they are crazy value for the money, and I paid a little more than half of it.
I also gave it a new guts transplant with full sized potentiometers, shielding with copper tape and alluminum foil and a different knobs configuration: both volume knobs on top, both tone knobs on bottom. Gibson purists are gonna hate me, but I feel it more natural for me this way. !
Unfortunately I got ripped off by the guy who sold me the tuning machine heads, as one was broken (I should have checked better). So for now I kept one of the old ones for the low E string. I wasn't really happy at first but it's slowly growing on me. I might end up keeping it this way. !
As for now I'm really pleased with the result: this is the first Les Paul I ever owned and also the first guitar I fully renovated from the ground up. Giving a second life to this beautiful instrument has been super fun and taught me a lot, so if you have any questions feel free to ask
Something different for a change: my homemade Big Muff Pi - "Green Russian" clone. Sounds like the original but has the best Big Green Boi on it, so it's a huge improvement.
Apple must stop selling its iPhone 12 model in France due to above-threshold radiation levels, France's junior minister for the digital economy told newspaper Le Parisien in an interview published on Tuesday.
PARIS, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Apple must stop selling its iPhone 12 model in France due to above-threshold radiation levels, France's junior minister for the digital economy told newspaper Le Parisien in an interview published on Tuesday.
France's radiation watchdog ANFR notified Apple of its decision to ban iPhone 12 sales after it had carried out tests which showed the smartphone's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was slightly higher than legally allowed, Jean-Noel Barrot told the paper.
Apple did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.
Barrot said a software update would be sufficient to fix the radiation issues linked to the phone which the U.S. company has been selling since 2020.
"Apple is expected to respond within two weeks", he said, adding: "If they fail to do so, I am prepared to order a recall of all iPhones 12 in circulation. The rule is the same for everyone, including the digital giants."
The European Union has set safety limits for SAR values linked to exposure to mobile phones, which could increase the risk of some forms of cancer according to scientific studies.
The French watchdog will now pass on its findings to regulators in other EU member states. "In practical terms, this decision could have a snowball effect", said Barrot.
In 2020, France widened regulations requiring retailers to display the radiation value of products on packaging beyond cell phones, including tablets and other electronic devices.

Every time I google a solution for a simple problem (like where to find a feature of a software in its menus or how to calculate something) I always have to navigate past the dozen youtube links to find the article or manual that tells me the solution in 10 lines of text. If your tutorial could be a webpage then you shouldn't do it.
Edit: to all the people that suggest to make a specific query in the search, that's just a partial solution because there are times I don't know the entity of the solution and youtube could be a good place to look for.
