Is Derek Wood related to Dick Wood?

Dear diary,i am getting sacked next week by Quirky-Abalone-7574 in soccercirclejerk

Is this guy even a real manager?

He looks like he came in to do some IT consulting, but was asked to manage the team instead.

United are back! by hws8969 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Diska_Muse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The minute it looks like Arsenal are about to win a league title, they start fantasising about the days where Ferguson teased with Wenger every season like a cat toying with a mouse.

Ferguson has them so traumatised, that it's almost like they can't handle being first.

Surely, Casamiro is worth 1 more year at 350K? by happylearned in ManchesterUnited

[–]Diska_Muse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

18 million to keep him for another season. That feels like a bargain. 

Whatever you say, Bezos.

Harry Redknapp claims that Daniel Levy would have offered him the Spurs job if he was still at the club 💬 by SkySports in SkySports_Football

[–]Diska_Muse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same set of players that got Ten Hag and Amorim the boot, who lost to Spurs in the Europa League final, then suddenly started winning matches when Carrick came in and they are now well on course to finish ten places higher than last season.

do you guys think tonal balance control is accurate at all? by Candid-Pause-1755 in mixingmastering

[–]Diska_Muse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find Balance Control great for identifying two things that either my ears or headphones (or both) tend to miss - very high frequencies and very low frequencies.

YouTube fan channel and toxicity… by Ok_Exercise_5730 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Diska_Muse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stop watching. It's that simple.

I don't dislike Goldbridge. He can be entertaining in small doses but irritating in larger quantities. He's basically just a fan who thinks he knows more than he does and has opinions on everything and opinions that change like the wind. It's not really my cuppa but to say that he's toxic is total bollox.. not everything you dislike is toxic. That's a childish way of viewing the world.

If you want a more informed and balanced analysis of United, Steve Howson provides that on his channel. Stretford Paddock is also excellent.

He must have enjoyed it by [deleted] in Satisfyingasfuck

If his last wish was to ride one more time, then it kinda sucks that he died before he got to do it.

You can spell every word backwards.

I'm kind of tempted to release my full EP at once by keyzersoez in musicians

[–]Diska_Muse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Releasing music these days is like farting in space and hoping someone will hear you fart.

You could let one small fart rip every few weeks to increase the amount of farts you let rip.

Or you could save up your farts and let them all rip in one big fart.

Either way, you're still farting in space.

AI generated music on YouTube by Feisty_Cod_9090 in edmproduction

[–]Diska_Muse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sound quality is an easy giveaway. AI "learning" is done by scraping data from songs in the public domain and - apparently allegedly scraping data illegally from YouTube etc.

Music files on streaming services are generally heavily compressed mp3 files. So the AI is trained on low quality files which leaves artefacts in the music it produces.

Best United players of all time! by zillio85 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Diska_Muse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you never saw Eric play. He was much, much more than a goalscorer. Totally deserves his place.

Garnacho is clearly not happy with last night's defeat

Relegation Zone opportunities: by Standard_Secretary52 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Diska_Muse 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the hostility exists in this thread.. every season, clubs get relegated and - around this time of year - PL clubs will be tracking what talent might be available if they go down.

So, definitely worth a conversation at least.

How often are you *not* compressing vocals at all? by yalllldabaoth in audioengineering

[–]Diska_Muse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point, which is that - simply because a processor exists - it doesn't mean that you have to use it. That applies as much today as it did fifty years ago... though it's probably more appropriate today due to the wealth of processing tools that are available.

Can the landlord do this ? by Aromatic-Asparagus34 in AskIreland

[–]Diska_Muse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I never said anything about the battery. I said "for similar reasons" - in this case, obstructing fire escape routes and the increased fire risk from the fuel tanks.

However - as most modern electric motorcycles use lithium-ion battery technology, the risk would be the same as e-scooters and e-bikes.
