The birds are watching you.

Try leaving bird seeds. They’ll know instantly, because they’re always watching you.

If you don’t leave bird seeds they will find your car and shit on it.

Ultima IX: Ascension (1999)

I genuinely enjoyed the game. Fans of the series claim that it destroyed the franchise. Perhaps they’re right, but the franchise was pretty fucked up to begin with.

Newton’s book is from before the industrial revolution and widely used in physics today.

My parents used one of these to plan the vacations:

Not that I know of.

having to remember less could make you more focused on the road.

On contrary, in my opinion. Especially in cities, where manual forces me to anticipate the next turn, light or other drivers. Automatic makes me zone out and focus on everything but driving.

Before doing any slowing down and looping I’d make sure that I know the chords for that section. It’s easier to hear if a certain note is in the key (harmony) or not (dissonance), thereby limiting the available choices. Also it might be easier to identify an interval than a single note.

Knowing some theory definitely helps. If you can find a transcription as sheets or tabs that’d be a good idea for reference, even if they’re not always correct.

Having this context, it’s usually enough to slow down the part in the YouTube player. I use New Pipe, no ads and speed/pitch are separate.

For a more detailed analysis, Audacity is great for loops and zooming. It’s quick and easy. However, looping a single note can sometimes be deceiving, so I’d also loop a few of the notes before and after just to get some context.

Getting the clip into a full DAW can also help for very tricky sounds. Running it through a pitch correction effect can show what it detects. This works best if the clip doesn’t have a lot of other things at the same time. Another method if you have a midi keyboard is to play along with a basic tone like an organ or just a sine wave. Program the melody into the midi sequencer and you’ll basically have it transcribed. This is also great for long weird sections where it’s difficult to remember everything. Might as well write it down as midi instead of on a paper.

Good to know.

It seems kind of half assed though.

I’ve only used it briefly to access the filesystem. Having to paste code into the reference field in the name manager is a special kind of masochistic practice.

Well, you can’t make Tetris in HTML without including some other language that has loops and variables.

I’m also not sure if you can do it in Excel without using VBA, which is a programming language. Excel doesn’t do circular logic in the document sheets.

Anyway the issue or joke is the lack of definition of “programming”.

HTML is a text encoding system. It’s not that different form something like the Morse code. It’s only instructions for how to decipher a series of codes. It takes input and presents it as an output, starting from the beginning and working its way to the end.

In my very unofficial opinion, a “program” is something that is able to “run” by itself, so that the code itself has instructions for which part of the code to run.

If you decipher a morse code, it doesn’t suddenly have instructions that force you to go backwards in the code and decipher from there or to jump to different sections. The text output might tell you to do so, but if you follow the text, then you’re doing something else than deciphering morse code.

HTML works the same. It start from the top and interprets its way down. It can have some conditional statements, but nothing that will make it go backwards and rerun the same instructions again.

The interpretation is of course more advanced than Morse code and it can call other languages to do stuff, so HTML is basically a document describing a job procedure in that way. The individual jobs can be reoccurring tasks, but the document itself isn’t.

So in my opinion it’s not “running” anything. It’s just a document being printed on screen.

I’ll admit that “one-shot” programs are a thing, and documents with variables do exist, so it’s not clear cut. A programming language should be capable of those things though, and HTML isn’t one on its own.

They’re not above. One of them is to the left.

I don’t know if it it’ll be live streamed, but it will definitely be filmed.

They are currently making a documentary about him which will include the final show, so I think it’s very likely that the full concert will also be released separately. That seems to be the standard for these kinds of events.

It’s a bit of rabbit hole, but in essence Popeye the sailor man started the myth of spinach being super healthy.

Germany has fewer than average road fatalities than most of the world. Less than average in Europe too.

It’s not really statistically noticable in that regard. Not the best, but far from the worst.

I think Star Trek lends itself well to memes, because it’s already a show where obscurities are questioned.

Who needs the leftover quarter bag of shredded cheese anyway.

I do the same with anything that comes in a can. I’m not going to use a tenth of a tomato paste tomorrow. It goes in today.

Good recipes take that into account.

Tartare is cut from inner muscles, less likely to have any infections etc.

It’s also sold separately from ordinary minced meat.

Yelling is idiotic.

Like all aggression, resorting to yelling is an act of impotence.

When someone is attacked by aggression they will defend themselves. They will counter attack whatever it is you’re yelling about and make up reasoning to justify their own stance. Even if it’s wrong, because in their mind the actual topic is less relevant than fighting your aggression.

Yelling is only useful if you are trying to prevent an accident and you’re unsure if they can hear you.

public shaming is s powerful tool - which could lead to reflection

Have you ever seen this happen? In my experience, the idiot is more likely to double down.

Finland has not been communitarian in the coloured areas since the end of the 1800s. Perhaps the native Sami people further north, but not elsewhere.

In my experience, the entire continent have nuclear families except for parts of Italy and Greece.

The difference is my willingness to buy a new one.
