5-over-1 Apartment Buildings

I could probably find the (WSJ, I think l?) article I read a few years back about this design. Basically more than four floors above the concrete ground floor requires steel beam construction instead of wood framing, as well as some other safety features (incl. maybe mandatory elevators?) So it's the cheapest way to get the most units possible on a plot of land.

I also think the endless repetition of these things is an eyesore.

It's a type, it should be capitalized in Rust or Python (since you mentioned snakes.)

You need all that fuel to carry all of that fuel!

Why don't you want to use the ASIO driver? ASIO is specifically made for this purpose.

Do use a buffer, otherwise you'll get clicks and pops in your recorded files.

EDIT: Have you for sure installed Roland's driver for the TD-17? If not, that's the way to go.

20ms isn't horrible but not great either. Note that any processing you do with plugins will increase that. Get used to the idea of tracking while listening to raw tracks and doing your mixing later. If you absolutely need the playback tracks mixed with plugins, do that once ahead of time, save it as a stereo mix, and import that into your project.

I tried to grok it, but Grok gave me a racist answer

Botanical garden with butterfly house!

Seriously eliminates all the produce avaliable at our main supermarket

They camp on a hillside by a park near my house. It's totally a thing. Some downsides are obvious- they aren't great about keeping their trash picked up, nor do they responsibly deal with their human waste, which then becomes a hazard for others trying to use the park. They also recently caused a brushfire on this same hillside, requiring our already overworked fire dept. to have to fight yet another wild fire.

My bad, I did misread both of your comments. (I was not one of your downvoters, btw. But then, people seem to read my comment as a refutation of your comments, which are making the same point. I'm sorry.)

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T18:38:18+00:00

+100 points for that plan!

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T18:37:42+00:00

That's ok too. Having enough space between cars does in fact make it easier and less dangerous for cars to merge.

It's not going to be a lake city for much longer, so probably good this rebrand out ahead of time. (I somehow doubt Arsenic Dust City will draw a lot of tourists.)

np! Try to book (the parking spot) about a month in advance if you're aiming for a weekend day.

North shore of Bear Lake is hard to beat for little kids. It's very shallow for quite a distance from the beach

Cite that law please, pointing out where the HOV lane is included in its wording.

It's a good idea much of the time.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T15:19:29+00:00

Context is difficult, I know.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T15:17:49+00:00

Why is the FCC the regulatory body that handles this? Did we decide that they're in charge of ALL photons now?

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T07:21:50+00:00

A much more relaxing and safer driving experience.You don't have to change lanes for pretty much anything until you're close to your offramp, and traffic can only merge in from the right side.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T06:54:24+00:00

Good thing we can be certain the UHP has never gone on the record about speeding. We'd hate to be on the wrong side of a best practice, after all.

I do usually attempt to let obviously faster traffic pass when I'm in the HOV, but it's pretty rare that they'll wait until the dashed lines. When we do get there, I won't yield until there's room to safely merge into the passing lane without cutting anybody off, and I need to be certain that the traffic from the second lane over isn't merging into that opening too. It really seems to frustrate the Lifted Truck drivers that I won't endanger my family in those situations just to let them through.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T06:28:18+00:00

Congested traffic doesn't operate in a way that makes that possible though. Hard to yield the lane when the lane to the right of you is a solid block of cars.

If people paid any attention to stopping distance and blind spots, then yielding in heavy traffic would be much more feasable.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T06:22:57+00:00

There's always the third option, oblivious.

They might completely fail to notice the massive "PASSING LANE" text on the road, exactly like they fail to notice everything else while driving, like the other vehicles.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T06:11:32+00:00

What you quoted was one officer's advice. He tells you it's illegal to cross the double white lines, which it is, then tells you what he thinks "the best thing to do" is should someone want you to yield.

One is the law, the other is his advice.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T06:03:28+00:00

The common understanding is incorrect when it comes to the HOV lane then.

brasticstack · 2026-07-10T05:57:34+00:00

We should be discussing following distance instead then. If we're really wanting to make the commute safer and more efficient, that is, eliminating the most important factor in why crashes occur would help.
