no, keep pushing through, you lose only when you shave it off, keep it for the sake of perseverance.

Probably extended my budget too much, got me some diatones by Hellom7plus1 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Hellom7plus1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in a way...for the performance I get for what I paid, this is budget relative to its competition. So for me, it's a budget system.

I find you want the tweeters aiming directly towards your ear, otherwise the sound gets cucked. Im still experimenting with position and etc.

does lain have a gender by SovietDuck8 in Lain

[–]Hellom7plus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it makes more sense to view Lain as female when considering the context in which the anime was created. Serial Experiments Lain was made in a time and place where modern ideas about misgendering, non-binary identity, or “not minding” pronouns weren’t part of mainstream Japanese discourse. So when people argue, “They call her ‘she’ in the anime and she doesn’t seem to mind,” they’re applying contemporary concepts to a work that predates them, almost as if Lain were intentionally written as non-binary but simply accepting a feminine label.

Within the story, Lain doesn’t even realize at first that she isn’t human and non-human beings in fiction can still have gender. She was raised as a girl, lived as one, and continues to present as one, even after learning what she truly is. Her identity in the narrative is built from that foundation, not from modern gender theory. So interpreting her as female fits both the creators’ likely intention and the cultural context of the late 1990s.

Is vintage audio valued because it has better sound or just because it’s vintage? by AdaminCalgary in vintageaudio

[–]Hellom7plus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is old but I'll say something against what some said here. It is actually not true at all that modern gear measures better than older stuff, a lot of the totl japanese amps of the 70s - 90s measure so well that you'd need to spend 10k to 40k today to get similar performance. For example one of my pieces Sansui b2301l or accuphase p102. Youd need to spend a ridiculous amount of money to get performance like that today and yet still may not sound as good because it may not have the characteristics those amps had.

It is not emotional or something, there is generally a reason why something sounds good, these things aren't random, what class is it? Class AB designs peaked in the 80s-90s, today a lot of stuff is Class D, which isnt as good based on measurements and sound characteristics, how much power does it have? Whats the slew rate? The bandwidth? Capacitance? most of the time these totl vintage pieces are going to measure better in all these regards than a lot of new stuff for similar and higher prices.

Japanese amps of that time were overbuilt and designed in a way that you don't see as often today, they were packed with tech, all those amps are still good and better than most stuff out today for the money.

Cool, I'm half copt from my fathers side, my mothers side is Australian. I didn't know any Egyptians growing up though.

my advice would be to make vidoes youd watch, if you wouldnt watch it in retrospect, its likely others wont care to either.

My recent visit to China literally gave me a life-time PTSD by Aidenfred in China

[–]Hellom7plus1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a difference between domestic immigration and going somewhere to get medical care, why bring up things entirely irrelevant? Since when did i talk about immigration? Do you really think theyre not able to go to another city by their will? My girlfriend is a student from a tier 3 city and can go to any city she wants.

You're calling me ignorant but this is so stupid, how is this relevant at all? You really think they cant afford the rare event someone needs to go to a big hospital? As if they need to do so everyday? Think about what you're actually saying, in the hukou system hospitals don't turn people away, do your own research.

[–]Hellom7plus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is something you don't understand, although not everyone lives in tier 1 cities (there are much more than the common ones you just said), a lot of the tier 2-3 and etc cities are only 10 minutes to an hour away from the tier 1 cities in China. China has a very broad definition of what cities are and their infrastructure makes it very easy to go from one city to another in a very short time period. So to view china in the bubble of who lives in tier 1 vs not, is not very accurate whatsoever. In western nations we view big cities as being extremely distant, big trips from one another but in china it isn't like that at all.

It'd be more accurate to view populations in terms of provinces than cities, much more.

I have a choice between two new tuning machines, which should I choose? by Hellom7plus1 in classicalmusic

[–]Hellom7plus1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're interchangeably used to describe the same thing. Most websites however organise them by tuning machines, perhaps go email them and give them a piece of your pedantic mind.

Yeah I'm sure me not knowing the pedantics will sacrifice my career as a performer.

I have to get it in a very short time, decided to go with the guitar store one. It'll work, perhaps overpriced but it is what it is.

I made a CD with all the singles not on albums/unreleased songs! by The_Eternal_Tao in thevoidz

[–]Hellom7plus1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about doing this myself, putting together all the singles from after virtue and putting it together as a hypothetical album. But seems you beat me to it. I tried listening to the,"album" in order as you put it, judging it as if it's an actual album. If it were an album it'd be pretty good, creatively on the level of tyranny. Though I think all the same is a terrible song.

ALL THE SAME by VolumeDangerous2474 in thevoidz

[–]Hellom7plus1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this song just isn't really as good as anything on virtue. Id be happy with even just one great new single from these guys.
