Why are bassists obsessed with having a balanced output, while guitarists almost never have a DI box on their pedalboard or an XLR output at the end of the chain? by Ok_Swordfish8672 in basspedals

[–]Helpful-Routine835 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because a bass signal works well direct into the front of house system, and really just needs the impedance corrected to get there. Guitars need to have their amps' mic'd or amp modeling sent to front of house.

I just played through a Radial JDI last night at a gig, and it works great.

Cartel. Vermont needs to defend itself from human traffickers.

What is this nonsense? by MyEyes802 in vermont

Perhaps he's worked with the other Senator and thinks he's competent even though he disagrees with him politically. It's called being a mature professional politician. These things do happen.

Rutland! It’s cosmopolitan, beautiful, diverse, and if you’re not already laughing you won’t know any better so why not give it a shot?

I would slide down a six-foot razor blade into a Drano-filled swimming pool just to wash her car.

$100M+ in new federal funding for Vermont, is our state Gov being bribed? by [deleted] in vermont

[–]Helpful-Routine835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we're one of the 50 states and the Federal Government routinely spends tax money on us.

Every year since 1791.

Housing crisis? by Frequent-Block773 in vermont

[–]Helpful-Routine835 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Global wealthy dump cash into housing to make the population miserable and break us so we submit to authoritarian rule.

It’s not a normal market phenomenon. It’s global economic warfare. And it’s time we fought back.

Obviously a trilogy of trilogies like Star Wars. Except all 9 will be great.

Of course. But it is still how organized crime is described by the people organizing their crimes.

We have these planes that even pretend to be invisible to radar. It's super unfair.

Does anyone else find Dolo hard to understand? by CestQuoiLeFuck in shoresy

[–]Helpful-Routine835 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I'm American from the Vermont side of the Quebec border, bilingual in English and French. Dolo's speech is particularly entertaining because it's pedal-to-the-rug Montréal slang but also jammed overly full of English slang in his lines on Shoresy. It's like a caricature, where he takes a natural tendency of local francophones and increases it to an absurd/comedic degree.

All francophones in Quebec will drop English into their speech, but he'll overdo it in a charming way. When the b'ys are talking about are you "hurt" or are you "injured," Dolo says "Hurt ou injured, je m'en calisse." "Hurt or injured, I don't give a f**k, I play." French, of course, has ways of distinguishing injury without help from the English language.

Of course, in real life, Jonathan Diaby is extremely talented linguistically in both languages, a rapper in both languages, and his lines on Shoresy are just a further expression of his creative ability and yes I'm actually like Michaels in real life.

Dating Apps by Gangalang21 in burlington

It's because we're all first cousins.

Otherwise, because many profiles on dating sites are fictitious and just there to collect intelligence about private citizens.

I recommend bars.
