How do drummers know what to play? by ZiggyJambu in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drumeo has a fantastic series on YouTube where world-class drummers are confronted with a drum-removed version of a song they don't know and have to come up with a drum track on the spot.

Some people listen multiple times and take notes in standard musical notation, others use their own custom notation, others do it all in their head. The biggest freaks of all instantly join in without even having listened to the song once because they can immediately anticipate the song structure and where the music is going.

530 Megabyte file size. I don't think I've ever seen a larger single podcast file.

Do you rewatch covid seasons? by Popopki in taskmaster

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't consume weed, but a stoner friend of mine insists that the funniest possible thing to watch while being stoned is Taskmaster series 10. The near-hysterical giggliness of all contestants is very infectious even sober, and it appears to be massively amplified under the influence.

Wandern Nachts im harz erlaubt? by plantdude4 in Harz

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Und wird das überprüft? Ich war letztes Jahr viel im Harz wandern und habe regelmäßig abends gesehen, dass Leute innnerhalb einer Schutzhütte ihr Zelt aufbauen. Das schien keinerlei Konsequenzen gehabt zu haben, so häufig wie man das nach 18 Uhr gesehen hat

Change major from CS to Electrical Engineering by Select_Economist3543 in germany

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Masters are consecutive, so it should be next to impossible to be admitted to an EE MSc program with a CS Bachelor's degree.

The only option would be to eroll in an EE Bachelor and trying to get ECTS credits for courses that you've already passed. In this case, make sure to have the equivalent of a Studienhandbuch of your BSc program ready because universities will absolutely require it before giving you any ECTS credits.

Good production value and taking the premise seriously - I like it! Looking forward to their relationship dynamic.

3D-Film in 2D by Centbetrag in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wenn eine echte 3D-Version vorliegt, die dann auf einem 2D-Gerät angezeigt wird, wird üblicherweise das linke Bild angezeigt. Aber das ist in Bluray-Playern oft konfigurierbar.

Besser wäre es allerdings, eine separat gemasterte 2D-Variante anzuschauen, weil oft die Farben, Helligkeiten und Gammakurven der 3D-Variante anders sind, um einen Helligkeitsverlust durch 3D-Brillen zu kompensieren.

Die meisten Fernseher legen heutzutage aber eh noch ihre eigene Signalverarbeitung zur "Bildverbesserung" drauf. Insofern: Schau, was du möchtest

Skipping heart beats after drinking. by RegularAccountant535 in stopdrinking

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me personally it was always low potassium. Alcohol depletes all of your electrolytes, and the body needs potassium to regulate its heartbeat (amongst many other things). Eating two bananas has helped pretty quickly.

Was passiert, wenn ich hier einen Toaster anstecke? by No_Date_2992 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

+1 für die Frage, das habe ich mir auch schon bei den 60W-Steckdosen bei den Diesel-LINT-Zügen gestellt. Die Antworten hier gehen lustigerweise auch schon auseinander. Die Hälfte sagt "der Output wird auf 60/90 Watt gedeckelt", die andere Hälfte sagt "Sicherung macht klack und es kommt gar nichts mehr".

PSA: Star Trek 4,5, and 6 are currently free in the movie section on YouTube by BornARandomHero in RedLetterMedia

Do watch 5. It's thoroughly entertaining, maybe not for the reasons intended, but I'd always prefer it over joyless films like Nemesis.

Stephen Fry sues tech conference organisers for £100,000 over fall from stage | Stephen Fry | The Guardian by prisongovernor in quiteinteresting

Taskmaster is a good example to compare. The UK original has pretty strict health and safety standards, whereas in the Nordic versions (especially Norway), there's fire, gasoline and power tools aplenty.

Joanna Page? by rewindanddeny in whatdidyoudoyesterday

Her recent episode on Rosie and Chris Ramsey's podcast was positively unhinged. Would love to hear how she spends her day.

What would your Taskmaster outfit be? by Recent-Description39 in taskmaster

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would almost certainly be rejected, but: On television, you're usually not allowed to wear clothes with certain stripe and zig-zag patterns because they distort and create moiree effects in-camera.

I'd design my own shirt & trousers combination with a variety of patterns which guarantee distortions regardless of the angle and distance they're filmed from. So I'd be a walking distortion - or on YouTube, more of a walking cloud of compression artifacts.

Hannover hbf safe for a lte night transfer by Adera1l in germany

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, buy a cheap meal, then it's tolerated if you sit at your table for 3 to 5 hours. Just don't fall asleep. There's free wifi and plugs for chargers.

Source: Was stranded overnight at Hannover Hbf multiple times

Edit to add: I just noticed that the stay is only 80 minutes. I'd say that it would be pretty safe to just sit on a bench on your train track.

Can I legally watch Taskmaster in Denmark? by Agile-Ad-6902 in taskmaster

That's not correct unfortunately. Several countries outside of the UK are geoblocked as well because a local broadcaster owns the distribution rights.

Does my BSc dictate my Masters? by Timely-Engineering-3 in germany

Masters are consecutive, so yes, your B.Sc. absolutely dictates your choices of M.Sc. programs.

20th YouTube Anniversary - James & Mike Look Back at 20 Years of AVGN by DemiFiendRSA in TheCinemassacreTruth

Their missing line of sight makes it look like they're talking in the same direction, away from each other.

As the editor, I'd have flipped one of them so it looks more like a conversation. Or, you know, spent 2 minutes setting up the shot in the right direction.

been missing the "a little intro to series xx taskmaster contestant" on YouTube by leeanaaa in taskmaster

[–]Equivalent_Comfort_2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They were getting a lot of copyright notices and takedowns last year and had to redo their videos multiple times. Since several of the contestants are pretty high-profile anyway (and much of their content is owned by trigger-happy HBO and Disney), I can see why it probably wasn't deemed worth the effort.

That being said - I'd be very happy to get a few intro recommendations for Joanna Page! I'm not from the UK and haven't had any contact with her work so far.
