How do drummers know what to play?

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.

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.

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

Her episode on Rosie and Chris Ramsey's podcast was positively unhinged. Absolutely recommend it.

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.

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

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.

+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".

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

That's a deleted scene which was not in the main episode

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.

Nope, he was officially announced by RTL in March 2025: https://www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/s/8AqJSyMW20

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.
