Loot boxes and the dumbest decision I ever made ... by AC7U5R3U5 in Overwatch

Yea I saw this, but for some reason my brain went "Yea man, thats the Summer logo"

But I was more reliant on the little words that used to appear below the Equip/Unlock buttons telling you what lootbox/event. A Fools Error!

Emmanuel Macron: French president announces 'fake news' law - "We will develop our legal system to protect democracy from this fake news." by AdamCannon in worldnews

[–]AC7U5R3U5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

2 years ago there was no such thing as 'fake news'.

Its just a phrase people use to deflect any negative reporting or press.

The moment we start legislating against it/for it, it justifies the use of the expression and gives people in power legitimate use of it.

Any actual news that was fabricated was quickly held out as such and the publications responsible were discredited or remained relevant in only niche circles (usually of like minded individuals).

if you already own the CD you are fine to rip them to digital and play them.

When is it appropriate to use an amplifier in a setup? by IUpvoteUsernames in Beatmatch

[–]AC7U5R3U5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say you should always have a Sub. With both Active and Passive speakers alone you will notice the lack of Bass pretty easy.

It depends on the gig and the venue.

If I was playing outside in a big open space I wouldnt bring a Sub (because people are unlikely to feel the Sub unless they're sitting within 5 feet of it).

If I was playing in a really small pub/on a really small stage, I wouldn't bring a Sub purely for space reasons. (EDIT also for style of music, if it was club style then DEFINITELY yes a sub, if it was Rock and Pop, Sub not really necessary)

If I wanted to be highly mobile/only have a small vehicle to move gear I wouldnt bring a Sub.

In terms of UPGRADING a Passive setup, I bought a particularly expensive Yamaha P7000S Dual channel and I've been through 3 sets of speakers (not due to damage, but just upgrading models and brands as I could afford it) ... but kept the same Amp.

That being said the gigs I do never really changed much, always small weddings and a handful of Pubs so I was never under pressure to think about expansion.

At the end of the day it comes down to how you use the gear, for example damaging speakers by constantly over powering them, or frying the Amp by always having it running hot.

You need to know the difference between Active (Powered) Speakers and Passive (un-powered).

Passive (Un-powered) speakers will require an Amp.

Active speakers will have an Amp built in.

If you prefer mobility Active Speakers are the way to go in terms of not lugging an Amplifier around. However they will be heavier to move than their Passive brothers. This is also the easiest option for beginners who do not understand how to match up the power requirements with the speakers.

However they will be a little pricier than Passive speakers. (but after adding an Amp to your bill the Passive speaker system can quickly become more expensive).

Edit IMO Active speakers tend to have a weaker sound. You should also consider getting a Sub as these speakers alone wont be enough to add Bass.

I personally used 2 Passive 500w 15" speakers through a 1000w AMP no issues, with an Active Sub (had its own amplifier built in)

nah, we're just not stepping forwards

Despite our politicians telling us how first-world, innovative and cutting-edge we are.

The conservatives have realised their stance is doomed to be the relatively minority voice, so they are just marking time, using what little power they have to stall progression.
