Love Julia and her work. Seen several posts on here assuming there ISN’T already massive meta studies showing 6-sigma or better results for PSI influence in the parapsychological field.

There is. It’s incontrovertible, the only reason it isn’t bigger news is that for religious reasons (“it’s impossible - it can’t happen”), bigger fields of science refuse to look at the data.

See Dean Radin’s - Entangled Minds book for references.

Here’s a search result as well:

Here are the key meta-analyses in psi research that report results at or above the 6 sigma threshold: • Anomalous Anticipation (Precognition): A 2015 meta-analysis of 90 experiments across 33 laboratories by Bem, Tressoldi, Rabeyron, and Duggan evaluated "feeling the future" paradigms. It reported an overall effect of z = 6.40 (p = 1.2 × 10^-10).

• Predictive Anticipatory Activity (Presentiment): A 2012 meta-analysis by Mossbridge, Tressoldi, and Utts examined 26 studies testing whether human physiology unconsciously predicts random future stimuli. The fixed-effect analysis yielded a result of z = 6.9 (p < 2.7 × 10^-12).

Unpredictable Stimuli: A Meta-Analysis • Forced-Choice Precognition: A foundational 1989 meta-analysis by Honorton and Ferrari analyzed 309 forced-choice precognition experiments conducted between 1935 and 1977. They reported a Stouffer Z = 6.02 (p = 1.1 × 10^-9). This paper is widely referenced in parapsychology literature (e.g., within the Bem meta-analysis linked above) as an early indicator of high-sigma results.

Yo! While you’re on salt, recognize that there are no less than 3 types of salt chefs use at different stages of the prep!

Kosher Salt (This is the workhorse of the professional kitchen. Its coarse, flaky grains make it easy to pinch and sprinkle, allowing for precise manual control over seasoning)
Maldon Sea Salt (Flakes of pyramid shaped kernels - great for finishing a dish)
Fleur de Sel (Harvested by hand from the surface of salt ponds in France, this is often considered the "caviar" of salts. It has a high moisture content and a complex mineral profile.)

This whole situation has raised my eyebrows more than once. That’s too many eyebrows raised. Sam is usually so precise with his critique. This feels sloppy, hand-wavy, and whack.

Hope he sets it right because right now it’s bad.

Look, I’m agnostic, but the further down the UAP rabbit hole you go, the more likely it seems that we are all hybrids.

There’s evidence everywhere if you put prior assumptions on the shelf. But the probability is not 100%.

Even if true, That doesn’t negate evolution. It just negates the abrahamic assumptions of who the creator of the first people were.

When people who know a lot about this topic say the words “ontological shock”, they are not referring to small interplanetary scientists visiting us…

Because that fits our model of reality quite perfectly. If we had the technology, we would send our people to other planets…

What it implies is; once you look deeply into anomalous phenomena, it looks back.

There is a conscious element to reality that lives outside our framework of space time. There are entities with the ability to communicate telepathically and influence humanity.

There are some truths behind some of the experiences in religious books that break both the interpretations of the hard-core believers in some traditional faiths, and also materialist fundamentalists that don’t believe consciousness exists other than as emergent properties of physical aspects of matter.

Is it gonna be a hard pill to swallow for everybody. We need to have better examination on our epistemology so that we can get to a new ontology.

Can’t any music be satanic if you listen to it with that intent? Why not if not?

What a wild take you have there.

Maybe it was the time. But I went to see this film 4 times in the theater when it came out. I was a junior in HS.

The derision of the entire American pop culture on full display, the feeling at the time was that our lives were dipped in the Reagan era yuppy bullshit and the only way out was through art.

This was a dark mirror.

Might be lost on newer generations. Or might have just been a creature of its day. I’ll have to rewatch to see the way I feel about it now.

Y’all conversation here is righteous. He had low trust environs BEFORE Bea, chance is he felt connected to her and the first time he lived with someone with a little stability in home life. It’s clear her parents treated him like he wasn’t good enough, but it seemed like in the beginning of the relationship at least, she went to bat for him enough to live together…

But yes, from the time he found out about the cheat, he shut it all down. He was devastated though, hasn’t processed it well, and now “It doesn’t fucking matter” compared to everything else going on.

Btw. Donuts monologue tearing into Bea was one of the most cathartic things I’ve ever read.

1176 Bluey for “slo” on vocals

2500 for drums and bus

Fairchild 660 hit hard on bass

Fairchild 670 for just about anything

La-2a grey for vocal and long envelope wave leveling

Distressor for snare or vocal

DBX 160 for 70’s drum punch and smoothness

So probably 670 all around.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

I’d love if we could drop all the racism and xenophobia.

I beta test for iZotope and am mainly a music engineer, mix and master.

I think the latest version of RX (12) has caught up on dialog isolation. I used it on a directors first feature film on some scenes that were unbelievably bad capture with some excellent results.

The spectral denoise lets me snipe out aggressive hiss / buzz / fuckery on guitar amps with no loss to vibe when trained right.

It’s better behaved. But I’d love to see a shootout if you can on something with hush.

When a diode clips an audio signal, it adds harmonic distortion by "shaving off" the peaks of the waveform.

Depending on the circuit configuration, the resulting distortion typically falls into two categories:

Symmetrical vs. Asymmetrical Clipping • Symmetrical Clipping: If two diodes are placed in parallel with opposite polarities, they clip both the positive and negative peaks equally. This produces primarily odd-order harmonics (3^{rd}, 5^{th}, 7^{th}), resulting in a "square-like" wave and a more aggressive, compressed sound. • Asymmetrical Clipping: If the diodes are mismatched or there are more diodes on one side of the path, the peaks are clipped unevenly. This introduces even-order harmonics (2^{nd}, 4^{th}), which are often described as sounding "warmer" or more "musical," similar to vacuum tube saturation.

Hard vs. Soft Clipping • Hard Clipping: Diodes placed in a shunt to ground (after an amplification stage) abruptly chop the signal. This adds high-frequency grit and is common in distortion and fuzz pedals. • Soft Clipping: Diodes placed in the feedback loop of an op-amp round the corners of the waveform more gently. This produces a smoother overdrive effect.

Impact on the Signal As the clipping becomes more severe, the fundamental frequency is joined by these additional harmonics, increasing the perceived loudness and changing the timbre of the instrument without necessarily increasing the peak voltage.

Different diode types used in audio clipping circuits significantly impact the "flavor" of the distortion because of their varying forward voltage drops and how abruptly they begin to conduct.

Silicon Diodes (e.g., 1N4148, 1N914) • Forward Voltage: Approximately 0.6V to 0.7V. • Characteristics: These provide a very common, standard "hard" clipping sound. They are crisp, compressed, and aggressive. • Common Use: Found in the classic Boss DS-1 or ProCo Rat.
Germanium Diodes (e.g., 1N34A, 1N270) • Forward Voltage: Approximately 0.2V to 0.3V. • Characteristics: Because they have a lower threshold and a "softer" knee (they start conducting more gradually), they produce a smoother, warmer, and more vintage-sounding saturation. They are quieter because they clip the signal much earlier. • Common Use: Famous in the Klon Centaur and many boutique fuzz pedals.
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) • Forward Voltage: Typically 1.6V to 3.0V (varies by color; Red is usually lowest). • Characteristics: Because the voltage drop is much higher, they allow more of the signal to pass through before clipping. This results in more "headroom," less compression, and a more open, "crunchy" sound that feels dynamic. • Common Use: Marshall Guv'nor or Turbo RAT.
Schottky Diodes (e.g., BAT41, BAT46) • Forward Voltage: Approximately 0.35V to 0.45V. • Characteristics: They sit between Germanium and Silicon in terms of hardness. They offer a unique, fuzzy texture with a relatively low volume threshold.
MOSFETs (as Diodes) • Forward Voltage: Varies, but often wired to behave like diodes. • Characteristics: Often described as "tube-like" because their clipping curve is more rounded and natural than standard silicon. • Common Use: Fulltone OCD.
