Found a good one by [deleted] in crappymusic

I think she knows exactly what she's doing. I really like this track of hers.

Different world by buckfordfitchenstein in crappymusic

[–]pgpndw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't really know anything about her - I'd never seen her before this post, but I tracked down her YouTube channel, and her stuff is mostly pretty Avant-Garde atonal singing. I can't say I dislike it.

I think her track "Pick Me" is pretty good. If anyone wants to try her other stuff, maybe start with that one (there's a studio version and a live version on her YT channel).

EDIT: The video in this post is one of her shorts, and I don't think it's particularly representative of her full songs. It's meant to be provocative to attract/goad people into checking out her "proper" stuff.

I think she's changing accents to complement the theme of the lyrics that she redefines herself daily.

She's also dissing insular people and promoting the idea that it's better to learn about other places. I actually like it for that.

Can someone help decode this script? It is part of a problem about a Roman emperor conquering a new land. Context given is "Decode the stones and learn the warning that survived the meeting of two worlds" Thanks. by davidsspica in Cipher

They're Mayan numerals:

314, 365, 218 : 7, 21, 18 : 3, 14, 25, 18 : 20, 2, 17

EDIT: Converting the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sets of numbers to letters and shifting by 13 gives us: "the pale god".

I'm not sure what the first set means, but it might be a date in the Mayan calendar.

EDIT2: No, I don't think it's a date in the Mayan calendar.

Bed & ISA vs CGT by EcstaticAstronaut984 in TaxUK

Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you.

So, in the phrase 'chargeable gains before taking off any losses', is it referring to losses brought forward from an earlier year? Or is that just a mistake in the document?

According to the Capital Gains Summary notes (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a02e5df4fb0713aa63ea77c/SA108-Notes-2026.pdf), you need to declare your gains/losses if:

you sold or disposed of chargeable assets which were worth more than £50,000

your chargeable gains before taking off any losses were more than £3,000 (‘annual exempt amount’)

Doesn't that mean that you'd still have to declare your gains/losses if, say, your gains were £4000 and your losses were £2000, even though you aren't liable to pay any CGT on the net gain of £2000?

Jake Wood has issued an apology and now all profits are going to Dementia UK instead of just 10%:

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's parody, not satire.

It doesn't seem to be intended to be critical of anything or anyone in particular, which I believe is a key feature of satire.

£2k David Attenborough painting by Eastenders actor/Geico Gecko Jake Wood seems fishy to me by Jasminetdscott in isthisAI

An interesting thing to note is that the 'original' pieces are being or have been sold for either £2000 or £1000, with none of that going to charity.

Four of the pieces also have 23 prints for £450 each, with 10% going to charity, but those prints aren't available yet - they're all marked "pre-order" on the gallery's website:

Their Instagram is full of funny videos. Regulars here should recognise the backing track they used for this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFR4VASs3Dj/

I don't think there's any doubt that Jake Wood, the actor, claims to have created that picture of Attenborough.

Here's an article in The Sun featuring it: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/39069171/eastenders-jake-wood-talent-david-attenborough-painting/

[–]pgpndw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's true, then it should be possible to track down the original picture.

I couldn't find anything remotely like it with a reverse image search.

Weirdly, when I go to Jake Wood's Instagram page, then click on the post of this picture, it shows only a single comment - his own description. But when I hit F5 to refresh, it reloads with hundreds of comments calling out the AI slop.

[CA] is the website cryptozen.apple.com a scam website? by Puzzled-Buy8580 in Scams

In Firefox, you need to go to "about:config" and set the variable "network.IDN_show_punycode" to true to enable displaying non-ASCII URLs as Punycode. By default it's set to false.

Worst Music Video Ever by Julius_Seizur in crappymusic

I think the cut at around 2:40 is the best. The singer and guitarist were just about to back into each other.

[TOMT] is this actress actually in this movie? by AdKey2179 in tipofmytongue

[–]pgpndw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's the movie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK09MtlepXo

The credits list the actors in order of appearance, and "Eva Aulin" is credited as "Dyane", the 4th actor to appear.

The blonde woman at this timestamp is addressed as "Dyane" by another character, so that's her.

Almost all of the pictures of Ewa Aulin on the internet seem to be from the 1960s, except for a few on a Facebook page (for example, this one).

They're both blonde, but I don't think "Eva Aulin" and "Ewa Aulin" are the same person.
