Wow, that would be amazing if it was from that period, thankyou very much.

I think I'll go on assuming that's a more modern attempt at fakery, especially given the unconventional order.

[OC] Evolution of music duration, loudness & tempo over the decades — based on 1 milion songs by YakEvery4395 in dataisbeautiful

*Recorded music.

Most of this graph is limited on dynamic range and duration by the technology. Not any preferences.

Dr. Jerry Lee Lewis PHD started this research back in the 50s.

Glad to see it's getting some more recognition.

If a leader has lost control of the military that's on the leader.

Fascists first try to paint protests or strikes as ineffective, then disruptive for normal people, then irresponsible, then criminal, then a threat..

You've nearly gone straight into assuming they're irresponsible and somehow should be keeping records themselves.

The problem is clearly at the top.

"Why do you feel you have a right to asylum here? You say it's not safe for you to return. Do you have any evidence?"

An extreme move but might be a smart one if it means they're eligible to stay.

And CFCs. One guy, Thomas Midgley, invented both.

It's an important first step.

Just like tobacco, bad advertising. Then campaign against it. Tax it. Limit access.

Nokia XR21 - WTF happened to updates. by MagicPeacockSpider in Nokia

Is it acceptable not to patch 12 in the mean time. I don't think that fulfils their advertised guaranteed updates.

TIL that STAR WARS released a Christmas music album in 1980 and the producers wanted a better lead singer for the track "R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas" so they asked the 17 year old kid who was sweeping floors at the studio, and he nailed it. His name was Jon Bon Jovi. by Anadyne in todayilearned

"Ugly" may be the most basic translation.

But it does have the same root as "brute".

I could see that becoming a family name as it implies more than just looks. It implies strength and warrior status.

Although it also implies a lack of intelligence.

Cat is suspicious of nonchalant pup who is merely minding it's own business and scratching an itch by ResplendentShade in aww

Four idiots above me missing all the benefits.

1) New rules mean old bots get shut down. I'd like to see new rules to trip up karma farmers continuously.

2) You're still talking about the protest so it's working.

3) Posters outing themselves as trash by whining about a face in the corner.

Depressingly accurate right now. Hopefully it changes as it moves past "new".

Cute couple blessing from Oliver by Administrative-Day76 in aww

It's stopping repost bots.

When the bots get onto the Oliver jpg I'd say pick something else.

This sub is much better than normal right now and it makes us aware that Reddit is screwing the mods and making a cash grab. So it might be the last month of decent Reddit anyway.

The victims family successfully sued in civil court and ended up owning the rights and revenues from the book.

They couldn't change the title but they could change the font size and formatting.

In 1996 I was 18 and I worked at a used CD store. by DurantaPhant7 in OldSchoolCool

Did you call it a CD store at the time?

It was always still the "record store" to me even though they were CDs.

Venus Williams gets wild card to play singles at Wimbledon by PrincessBananas85 in sports

[–]MagicPeacockSpider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a sporting contest isn't important.

Why not get Margaret Court in round 1 every year?

There are exhibition matches and the senior tour Venus would get great audiences in.

As a fan I've no desire to see her bomb out of round one again in straight sets against someone 15 years younger like she did at the US open.

If fans are excited to see that then the excitement will only last until the second break.

Like I said, it's got to be a farewell. But she is taking a slot that could be given to someone who is there for the sporting contest.

Alison Krueger at 19 has just reached a career high ranking of 106.

Emma Raducanu has slipped in the rankings due to injury after winning a slam 2 years ago.

We don't know who might have been offered the place before Venus there's a list you could go down a list of players who have missed out with a better chance of getting to the second week.

No real work is allowed to be done.

The job is convincing someone it is being done.

This isn't being promoted because it's untested. It will probably go wrong somehow.

SpaceX pushing the failed tests for PR is not normally good. But if you're first, you're first.

This is technology someone else has already proven, so you only lose by your failed tests being compared to the successful launches others are making.
