My employer pays for mine, so free.

Before that was $20/month for unlimited everything with tethering in the US.

I remember when I voted for him, it was a, “I’m not voting for Biden, I’m voting to make politics boring again.” I’m not sure I can take another 4 years of this.

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

In theory, however the ability to break up the year into smaller chunks is very handy for our monkey brains. Small number easy, big number hard.

I would love to be on the international fixed calendar, but the rest of the world would look at me weird.

Getting ready to buy as many stocks as I can, I need a retirement plan, and if I can get in while markets are low, I can retire in 10 years.

The people in power will lose their power if we did, so we won’t.

Wait so I still get to do this as a career? And I’m considered an expert in the field?!?

Yea that makes sense about my knees and back hurting.

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.

Jokes on you I saw the XcQ

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.

I used to do my hobby as a full time job, I realized I didn’t enjoy it as much when it was my job so I switched careers so I could still enjoy it.

When the Ukraine war kicked off I called the Ukrainian embassy in my country and let them know that my upstairs bedrooms were empty, and that if they could get the people to the US, I could house some. Then I called all of my representatives and senators and asked for refugee status for Ukrainian citizens.

In the end because of political fuckery I didn’t end up hosting any Ukrainians, but my coworker who’s from Ukraine was able to get her family over here.

In the middle of the night with nary a sound to be heard.

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+.
