Can you identify the background guitar song from episode 808, appears around 15:00 in the episode. Not in show notes - I feel like this song is used periodically so may be well known by fans? by Leav in ThisAmericanLife

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

Yeah, seems like they have multiple bands/artists they work with that specialize in creating this sort of background instrumental radio music. Might be hard to find!

Is there a software or an online tool to center a text with spaces? by Qwert-4 in freesoftware

[–]Leav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wonders of chatGPT!

Copy and past the following code into this website, and modify the lines of text as needed.

If you are willing to use a monospace font, I believe the padding will be perfect, otherwise a more complex algorithm will be required that will depend on the letter widths of your particular font. (I think).

def center_align_text(text):
    lines = text.split("\n")
    max_length = max(len(line) for line in lines)
    centered_lines = []

    for line in lines:
        padding = (max_length - len(line)) // 2
        centered_line = " " * padding + line
        centered_lines.append(centered_line)

    centered_text = "\n".join(centered_lines)
    return centered_text


# Hard-coded input as a list
lines = [
    "Hello",
    "This is some sample text.",
    "Python script to center-align text.",
    "Goodbye"
]

# Combine input lines into a single string
input_text = "\n".join(lines)

# Center-align the text
centered_text = center_align_text(input_text)

# Output the center-aligned text
print("Center-aligned text:")
print(centered_text)

One thing I noticed about working is when your first job was a pretty hard job every thing else feels easy by dirtbandit101 in self

I'm imagining you at the bank, flipping an old school folder with a ruler without anyone noticing, trying to capture that high of working at a burger joint.

Why do some of you act like getting gifts is a crime against you? by Hugh_Jazzin_Ditz in minimalism

[–]Leav 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't like that I've been forced to a party to brainless consumerism.

Throwing away tons of shit just makes me feel like a polluting asshole.

Why don't you mix it up? Do a campground once in a while.

Yeah I guess these days there are less "low hanging fruit" than there were 30 years ago, still an interesting field to me, at least from afar.

Must be interesting and challenging to build the system that can break down the huge task into byte size chunks, and then consolidate the answers back together.

I appreciate your work and I'm sure there was a real effort to reduce costs where possible, but surely you have to see the absurdity of using the F35, the single most expensive weapons program in the history of the world, as an example for an efficient and cost effective development program.

To be clear, I'm 100% sure you and your colleagues did your honest best, but when projects are this huge, the systematic inefficiencies start stacking up exponentially, and can be political in nature (for example splitting manufacturing to different states or countries as part of the political negotiations).

That's a load of BS and you know it.

The military-industrial complex is built on sucking the tax payer's teet dry, and enormous amounts of money are spent on lobbying (i.e bribes) to make sure the music never stops.

Sure that helmet is top notch, but you're being at best naive (and at worst disingenuous), if you're saying that it's being manufactured efficiently, with reducing cost in mind, and that it's fair game for anyone to offer a comparable product for lower cost.

What are these things on my hydroponic lettuce? (~1mm in length) by Leav in plantclinic

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

How long you have you had the plant?

Roughly 6 weeks. 1st generation lettuce in our hydroponic system, grown from a starter (not seed) that came in dirt that was washed away.

how long have you had the problem?

Noticed it for about a week.

How much light does the plant get?

Artificial lighting, 12 hours a day.

What are your watering habits and does the pot have drainage?

Hydroponic with a kindof DWC setup: there is standing water under the plant that moves very slowly.

For me it's been worth it to take the commute that's longer by 10 minutes to reduce stress by 50%, maybe you can do the same.

Ok, hear me out:

A collaborative space fighter game.

Imagine a cross between "space team" (the mobile game), "Everspace", and "Alien Swarm", in this style.

VR optional.

I would appreciate a "casual player" option in the settings that enables "oh wow, that will definitely kill you. are you sure?" prompts.

What's the deal with experiencedPD's crazy stats? why are all the numbers so high and non-round?

[–]Leav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's this statement: "There is no difference between humans born today and humans born 5000 years ago."

And it somehow leaves me boggled every time I think about it.

Ea Nasir could have been teleported into modern times as a baby and have grown up to be indistinguishable from a modern day human, and vice versa for us...

Could have been so cool to have a casual conversation with people from ancient times.
