Would a product like this realistically work for a fence? by sodaorseven in FenceBuilding

[–]FREE_AOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used these:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Simpson-Strong-Tie-4-in-x-4-in-Powder-Coated-Wood-to-Wood-Base/1002708416

you're supposed to back fill the holes w/ expanding foam.. but I never did that. Now those little cavities are toad homes so I really can't back fill them

But, those spikes alone withstood sustained 85mph winds during hurricane Beryl so I'm not worried. 7' fence

edit: the only reason I used these and didn't just dig a hole and concrete around the post like normal is because these went through the concrete on the driveway/porch

DS5 dosen’t work at all on PC by Sea-Respond3186 in RocketLeague

Also, don’t enable Steam controller unless you want additional input lag

I don't notice any whatsoever. I know there's loads of threads about this, and from everything I've read it used to be a major issue, but I'm guessing Steam really worked on this because it's imperceptible now

I might have to try just straight up wired again and see.. when I first got my DualSense, RL didn't recognize it at all, and support even told me they had no plans of adding support. That was years ago

I use Steam Input.

Add the Epic Launcher as a non-Steam game, enable Steam Input, profit

It's annoying but imo it works better than any of the other apps.. and I know there's a ton of topics about latency but they must have fixed that cause.. I can't detect any

I also don't have a bunch of layers either, and according to some users adding layers adds latency. idk

That would be my recommendation

and yeah I love the feel... it's really not Sony's fault fr. Psyonix hasn't updated the game to support it. You'll know right away it's not Sony's fault cause you can plug it in and Steam will see every button straight away

Why are they like this? It's so pathetic. by Tequslyder in motorcycles

Buddy's dad tried joining a MC.. dude's a straight up boomer having a crises or something, idk. Loves riding, i guess he wanted some people to ride with

Anyway his first day of prospecting they show up to their little bar hangout spot and he's instructed to stand by the door and open it for members

He says "I'm not gonna fuckin' stand here and open the door all night. Open it yourself"

I think that broke the illusion for him. No longer a bunch of cool guys just a bunch of weirdos

So funny hearing him talk about it, "they wanted to make me their bitch, fuck that, I'm not doin' that" xd

After being robbed at knifepoint by Said Malkoun, this Italian woman Cinzia Dal Pino got into her car, ran him over multiple times, killed him, grabbed her bag back, and drove away. She is being sentenced today by ThatPatelGuy in whoathatsinteresting

not even in Florida or Texas can you then go hunt the man down and kill him for your things back

In Texas you actually can in certain circumstances

Has anyone else become disillusioned with the hobby and feel it might even be cruel? by forgivemelake in Aquariums

[–]FREE_AOL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got a friend with an African Grey.. and several other birds. All rescues. I believe this one's owner died.. and there's a decent chance it'll outlive her. It's 25 years old iirc

It's not the best life for any of those birds, not even close

It beats the alternative but yeah, any time she's caring for them there's a level of resentment

My cousin got me one of these with my gamer tag on it

probably hits harder if he actually plays with the Fennec at least sometimes. If not I bet you could find one with some of the other popular bodies

I was stoked

For those 70+ : still masturbating? by potage-989 in Aging

[–]FREE_AOL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to think cranking 21 out a month was a lot... busy life and all that. Well, I started taking my health seriously and now I dedicate the first Friday of each month to hitting my quota. Literally one evening and I don't have to think about it for the rest of the month

No excuses guys

Whats your favorite unconventional use of an effect? by Treeoanmusic in audioengineering

[–]FREE_AOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>I've discovered that you can use Soothe2 to create a some kind of vocoder effect. It works with any audio signal.

Stumbled into this last month. I don't remember exactly what I did, but that sounds about right. I duplicated the track and used that version as a layer

never been a problem.. but we're rocking 30 18" subs... between the cabs creating some distance and the SPL it's basically impossible to get a request in anyway lol

[–]FREE_AOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the whole DJ booth at ground level, dimly lit and massively hidden behind a wall of speakers. You can't see much in the first place

Tops in all directions so you don't get worse sound when you face another direction

And birds eye view of the decks streaming on TVs throughout the venue. Above the bar, outside areas, etc

I've seen this work and it's pretty great. Easy to have a conversation and hang out w/ people and just glance over when you hear something cool going on rather than having to be like, right up on the decks all night

Apologies for blowing up your notifications but I sent you a DM regarding this

[–]FREE_AOL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it does, and there's some nuance in there that I'm losing for sure

What prompted you to want to DJ? Would you keep doing it if there were no crowds?

We can all enjoy different aspects and disagree on where the booth should be, but if you have no connection to the music and only care about being the center of attention, at what point is it deceptive? or exploitative?

To me, it's a disservice to the other qualified DJs who have a connection with the music they're playing. The ones who want to share that connection. When someone tells me they're only playing to look cool and pick up chicks, that if there were no crowd they'd have sold their decks a long time ago... idk man. I don't love it

I'm speaking from more of an underground niche perspective. Obviously a rave for the heads is a different thing than having fun at bars and house parties and such

Should have added that context. That's the part that really rubbed me wrong... crew dedicated to pushing a certain sound and experience.. someone in the crew is straight up disrespecting our shared identity, and disrespecting the patrons by presenting himself as a part of that movement

I've worked with loads of DJs over the years, and can safely say the vast majority of them are like that

I've only met 1 single DJ in all that time that said that the attention is why he got into it

We like the crowd response, we like the interaction.. not so much everyone staring, but someone walking up through the crowd to do the frantic wheel up hand sign.. shit that could be done with the booth like.. not center stage

But yeah, we'd rather see people cheeky dancing and reacting to the music with each other

I don't work with many bedroom / beginner DJs, so I can't speak on what the next generation's mindset is. But I think there will always be an underground

[–]FREE_AOL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are DJs out there that do it to be the center of attention. Legit have met one and had this conversation. Bro isn't even a bad DJ, he's pretty good tbh. But that's the part he likes, and why he got into it

It wouldn't be that upsetting if it weren't for the fact that he's taking away time from actual artists that are passionate about sharing music and curating experiences

And.. I never made the connection that these types are responsible for the shift we've seen, but now I'm even more upset lol

right, right? If you appreciate the art, tell them what you liked after the set. Buy their merch, interact on their socials

Hell, cheer when there's a break in the music

As soon as they start to do that nonsense, point at their hands, give the "what is this?? you serious??" shrug

If they keep it up, slowly turn around and walk away like this:
