I could totally see it. I had the mats luckily and I wore NewBalances with 2 stacks of gels and thick gym socks. I also worked the deli counter. Since I was the only one that could lift the big logs of meats and cheese they always had me cleaning and refreshing the backbar area (basically an open fridge you load from the top and sits about waist height). I remember saving my breaks for when the searing pain in my feet and back was just about to make me drop. Fucking 8.25/hr. I stole EVERYTHING I could.

Ooo this is good. Thanks

Also, I like that they let their cashier's sit.

My god would I have hated work significantly less if I could have sat down when I was working the register.

Just install Mint or Kubuntu and grab Steam. I can hook you up with useful KDE(kubuntu gui) right click action menu scripts that I use for everything Windows had but Kubuntu was missing. If you go the Mint route most of them are already there for you. AppImages and Deb files behave like exe installers. Just like Windows you will run into issues but someone here could probably help you out. My Grandma could barely use Windows after XP and took to Mint like a pro.

LLM Hallucination.

The kitty litter in the classrooms when I went to school was for when you ate too much candy and barfed.

This is considerably more depressing of an explanation than I was expecting. I was hoping conservatives believed it was a liberal woke child rearing technique from tiktok or something. Like Alkaline water or breast feeding babies till they are a teenager. I guess I should just default to assuming it's always because evil.

kids aren't using litter boxes Please tell me someone believes this. I must know.

DATAGPT HAS NO FEELS

"some people felt the pagers heat up and disposed of them" -wsj Potentially used the battery to trigger the explosive? Some kind of emded code was in there.

Perhaps they are using the ones medical professionals use which are a bit more robust than your old school pager. They can do texting and email in some cases. It sounds like these could do text messaging using some protocol and frequency band.

Must be confusing it with the thugnifficent episode. Either way. yah, that happened all the time in the 90s and frequently on conservative radio talk shows.

Didnt even own a bitcoin.

That Boondocks episode I believe was a parody of the Don Imus radio "n" drop.

I try to only read the comments on niche technical posts which I find interesting. The rest of the sites comments are grating. It's got more bootlicker comments than reddit. They will parade the most extreme edge cases out as excuses for not implementing any moderately progressive policy then bitch about bikeshedding. I also hate how so many comment threads will devolve into a trivial bash syntax argument. Fuck me, the Bash shit really is fucking annoying. Just try to suggest a Bash one-liner to fix a persons issue and you will blow the site up.

It's all good. I have zero issue with reducing the traffic in the city. They are incredibly dangerous within cities. It's just really hard in skyscremovedr dense neighborhoods to eliminate adhoc services without providing some kind of replacement beforehand. I don't understand the rationale of driving a car into Manhattan if you can avoid it. They already have plenty of public transit. I haven't lived in Manhattan for 20 years and NYC for 10 so I don't know how bad it is now. But like, it can't be that bad.

you get systematically banned and labeled an antisemite. Very cool and rational org.

doxed, hacked, physically attacked, kicked out of school, gangstalked, denied the degree you earned and paid for...

It's legalized assault. The ADL is a terrorist organization.

The venue should be eqing your vocals if it's not a coffee shop, basement, or just diy thing. You can do work with eq's but if you are running a mic through a keyboard amp you are not gonna get far. I've been there. They are not the worst but I would rather go right from my vox mix into a real PA. General rule of thumb I was taught for live sound mixing is "If a mic sounds bad without eq something else is very wrong". You may make sound better at a cost but it won't help that much. The roland amp has built in eq. Who knows where those eq lp, bp, and hp frequencies are tuned to though.

If you have an iphone get a camera kit, a cheap usb interface that has a mixer on it (get one with a send), and use effects from Valhalla. You'll need a host app for the plug in. Theres a few but one of them should be free and allow you to save your setup as a preset. Run the mic into the mixer and put the iphone on the send. Valhalla plugins should be wet. Don't bother with delay in a live setting. It gets too fucking messy. Use one of the Valhalla verbs. Set to 100 wet. Tweak to taste. If you have an iphone this setup is like 200bucks max used and is very stable. You also can add more effects down the line to your chain should you want to. Light compression/limiting can be helpful. Careful with eqing. If you are eqing vocals in a live setting the problem is your mic or how you are holding it. Do less with effects and focus on technique.
