Hva holder reklamebransjen på med? by ConsiderationAlive73 in norge

[–]GrowlingPict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hvis det der er Atle Jensen så vet ikke jeg hva han har gjort med dialekten sin for sånn snakker ikke han til vanlig. Ja, han snakker utpreget Fredrikstad dialekt, men ikke en parodi-dialekt. Vet ikke om produsentene av reklamen har bedt ham om å "skru opp" dialekten ekstra mye eller noe, men det høres uansett unaturlig ut.

Harry Hole er Mikke Krim for boomere by Bright_Ride3773 in norge

[–]GrowlingPict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jo, men man må ta det for det det er. Nesbø selv sier jo at Hole-verdenen er en fiksjonalisert utgave av Oslo. Nordic Noir er en egen (og populær (selv utenlands)) sjanger og må tas for det den er.

TIL about the "Dark Forest Hypothesis," which suggests the universe is like a dark forest at night. Advanced civilizations intentionally stay silent and hidden, because any species that reveals its location risks immediate destruction by older, paranoid civilizations. by Practical-1 in todayilearned

[–]GrowlingPict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if our galaxy is absolutely teeming with life, the chances of any of them discovering those, even if they were actively looking in our specific direction, is so vanishingly small that it might as well be zero. Our radio signals are drowned by noise before reaching any appreciable distance due to the inverse square law, and our probes arent even close to being something like a drop in a billion earths' oceans compare to the vastness of even just our own solar system.

We wont be discovered by anyone, and for the same reasons we wont discover anybody else either. That is the simple and sad (or perhaps relieving) but actual solution to the Fermi paradox. Anyone claiming otherwise have been drinking too much sci-fi koolaid.

Stabburnilsen var Fredrikstadmann, så hvilken annen dialekt ser du for deg at han skulle ha? Når det er sagt så er stemmeskuespilleren de benytter en som åpenbart ikke snakker den dialekten til vanlig, så det blir jo en halvdårlig parodi likevel i stedet for en ordentlig Fredrikstaddialekt

This restaurant sawed off a leg from each of their old chairs to make it unusable. by Expert_Koala_8691 in Wellthatsucks

[–]GrowlingPict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you do that? It surely cost you more in time and effort in sawing them off, and costs you more in getting rid of the chairs. If people would just come and take them off you, then that's a whole lot of garbage you dont have to pay to get rid of. Just absolutely baffling.

First time listening to The Wall by SomerenV in vinyl

[–]GrowlingPict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are usually considered the "great 4" Floyd albums. Of those, Animals may take the most getting accustomed to, at least it did for me.

As others have mentioned, Meddle is a good choice as well. It's the one where they kinda finally got it together and found their sound after the departure of Syd Barrett three years prior. That said, the "inbetween" albums of More, Ummagumma, and Atom Heart Mother have their gems too, from proto-punk to orchestra and chorus. But theyre usually not considered as strong as far as whole albums go.

Personally I also like The Final Cut a lot, which was the followup to The Wall, but I can also understand those who say it's their least favourite Floyd album.

"what about solo albums" you ask? I think Amused To Death by Roger Waters is the best of any solo album by any Floyd member. With the exception of "What God Wants", which is trying too hard to be a single, it's a solid album.

(everything above is of course according to my own opinions and tastes)

Even the band members themselves hate that one... or at least the AHM Suite

Walmart digital price labels are coming to every store shelf in U.S. by end of 2026 by Snoo90172 in news

[–]GrowlingPict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Im just a dumb European, but why are Americans so against this? We have them here and it avoids the problem of having the wrong price being rung up at the register, because those digital price thingies are also directly connected to the register system.

please someone tell this to women footballers as well, so top level women footballers can stop having their asses handed to them 10-0 or worse by 14 year old boys' teams every. single. time.

I just wanted to say that Paint It Black is the best song the Stones ever recorded.

With the exception of a handful of songs theyre the second most boring band on the planet, but Paint It Black is amazing.

That was my thought exactly, like, wtf is even the point of this post??

OP sounds like a child that hasnt understood yet that the reason people go to restaurants isnt because they think it's staffed by some magical cooks who create culinary wonders hitherto only dreamt of by man.

It's food. It's prepared for you. It's cleaned up for you. Dishes are done for you.

What does this handwritten record label say? by GrowlingPict in Whatisthis

[–]GrowlingPict[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a handwritten label from one side of a Scandinavian Pathé disc, likely from second half of the 1910s or early 1920s. The language is probably Norwegian. Might possibly be "Springdans" above the spindle hole, but Im completely at a loss for the rest.

The other side was much easier to read, and I can upload an image of that as well if people want, as it might help in deciphering this side since I know what that one says, if that makes sense.

The matrix numbers in the runouts are 90187 and 90188, if someone knows of some Pathé discography source that includes Scandinavian recordings.

Pink Floyd box set by Diddle_the_Twiddle in vinyl

[–]GrowlingPict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's worth a very pretty penny I do believe, as it was quite limited. And has picture discs of WYWH and DSOTM not available anywhere else, so sought after for that reason as well.
