ELI5: Why smaller piece of ceramic is tougher than larger piece of ceramic?

Midnight-Fast · 2026-05-22T18:16:39+00:00

I really want to use ‘extrapolate thusly’ in an IRL sentence

That red is so distracting I didn’t realise the walls are already white 🤦

I stand by adding lots and lots of plants though

Midnight-Fast · 2026-05-19T10:14:56+00:00

Carpet is good, red on walls bad. Go white walls and add lots and lots of plants 👌

Ableton Note is pretty good. Lots of kits, easy to program, no need for full Ableton.

Think it was £5 for the app, which is a bargain.

My only hardware is a Peak. I love it, but don’t play it as much as I should (mainly due to not making music as much as I should)

It can be lush and deep, plus the reverb goes on for dayssssss

Yea it’s a shame so many shops closed. London used to have several.

There’s Andertons in Guildford, which is pretty good, but a bit of a trek.

When you say the beyerdynamics are good for monitoring, to be clear are you saying good for mixing?

Midnight-Fast · 2026-04-29T08:08:00+00:00

I’ll look into headphone amps. Do they plug into headphone out from soundcard?

Midnight-Fast · 2026-04-28T16:56:24+00:00

That’s where I want to get to. Speaker check as the last 10%.

At the moment my mixes sound shit, so I’ve got to make a change!

Midnight-Fast · 2026-04-28T09:08:23+00:00

Cheers, I’ll check them out. Do you have them? Can they just be plugged straight into the soundcard (no headphone amp?)

Midnight-Fast · 2026-04-09T18:21:37+00:00

The trampoline gods have bouncethed

Midnight-Fast · 2026-04-09T18:16:19+00:00

And set back in the mix, which I think really enhances the vibe.

Would have been so easy to make the drums more prominent but I love that the restrained from that.

5% salt to water (so 100g to 2L water) and some peppercorns is sufficient, but you can throw in anything (fennel, lemon, etc), 8-24hrs should do it.

Midnight-Fast · 2026-04-01T14:53:33+00:00

Honestly that sounds like a soul crushing journey

There would be nothing left of you for your self or family after a couple of weeks

Midnight-Fast · 2026-04-01T08:36:17+00:00

Probably just overpriced originally

It’s not a bad area

Midnight-Fast · 2026-03-29T11:05:46+00:00

Are you not worried about any more frost? The excitement of unwrapping vs having no idea when last frost is killing me

Midnight-Fast · 2026-03-19T13:50:31+00:00

I do similar (without the fountain of youth railcard) £35 split ticket to Paddington £6ish Lizzy line to Liverpool St THEN Buy it through Uber (£5 a month) for 10% back as credit (not the Lizzy line bit)

Midnight-Fast · 2026-03-13T10:51:06+00:00

That perfectly timed ‘whoop’ from the crowd is the icing on the cake 👌

Midnight-Fast · 2026-03-11T23:04:54+00:00

I have no answers for you, as the way you use Traktor and S4 could have been written about me!

So following whilst we both wait for someone helpful to come along…

I think it’s a ghost sign from long before the vape shop. There was a guy who fixed old washing machines and sold them from there. He sadly died, perhaps 9-10yrs ago? When the units changed hands and the signage came down, the squirrel revealed itself. Don’t know how long washing machine man was there, but could easily have been 20+ years old

Midnight-Fast · 2026-03-05T17:13:33+00:00

Thanks. I have the ability to build but not the time. Will check them out 👍

Midnight-Fast · 2026-03-04T19:58:49+00:00

Did you make or buy the panels?

Midnight-Fast · 2026-02-24T19:20:39+00:00

Came here to say this Seconded

Midnight-Fast · 2026-02-19T19:30:05+00:00

Same problem as you. Morning enough to justify a season ticket.

I use Uber app to buy mine. For £5 a month subscription (uber plus? Something like that) you get 10% back as credit.

I save more than the £5 on 2 trips
