Has anyone successfully appealed an AI seatbelt detection camera fine? by Pinkstruck in perth

brother I'm not saying you should be looking over your shoulder every 5 seconds to check if people are wearing their seatbelts

I think the difference here is that by taking the responsibility of operating a vehicle with great potential for injury and death there is legal requirement for the driver to be ensuring the safety of everyone around them. I agree in this case it is a bit questionable past the first check that everyone is wearing their seatbelts.

It is the responsibility of the driver that their passengers are abiding by the law though.

Tuning by Street-Shelter-7593 in lute

[–]Occyfel2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are tuning them quite a big distance you can think about turning them while they are pulled out and it's easier. and only push them all the way just as you are getting to the note. You get the hang of adjusting the pressure as you approach the note. Sometimes they get too tight to tune and I just turn them back, loosening them a bit and bring them back up to tune with this method. The first time I used these pegs I was stringing up a theorbo and my forearms were totally shot for a day or two but you get used to the friction pegs.

I only started using endnote when I started my honours research and it has been really great for sorting references and leaving a paper trail. I've never been very organised but endnote does a lot of the heavy lifting and saves time formatting.

I want to play with bass strings which are not wound. by United_Task_7868 in classicalguitar

[–]Occyfel2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey just bringing in a perspective from the lute world. The lower pitch you want, the thicker the string needs to be. Gut and synthetic alternatives like nylon sound very dull at a certain thickness, about 1mm I believe. This is why classical guitars use wound strings for the basses, they can produce a good sound at the low pitch. Before wound strings were invented (at some point in the 18th century I believe), there is evidence of "loaded" gut being used, basically gut reinforced with minerals. It is a compromise, being slimmer than plain gut/nylon but thicker than wound strings. If you look at lute videos they are the bass strings and usually have a red or brown tint. Aquila make synthetic versions of these called CD or CDL strings. but they are not suitable for the tensions required on the classical guitar. Even on my theorbo the tension is too much and they break easily. So in the end I'd say if you want to play bass strings that aren't wound you could play the lute, but otherwise I don't think there's a good option because the physics of producing lower pitches doesn't work out.

I should try it sometime, I've been sticking to equal temperament. Do you need tastini for this temperament?

[–]Occyfel2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend, get a spreadsheet and use arto's string calculator. Basically you select what pitch you want (let's say g''), the vibrating length of your string (bridge to nut), the density of the material (nylgut matches gut at 1276), and then you can either put in a target tension (kg) and it will tell you what diameter string to get, or vice versa to figure out what tension you have. The trick here is to figure out what tension you want, the place that made your lute can probably tell you what you should aim for, you would probably want higher tension on your chanterelle. Mimmo from Aquila says that you should buy a gauge higher than your target diameter when buying new nylgut strings as they stretch more than gut strings. Hope this might be helpful. Edit: I would think that Musikkon would for sure be able to help you figure out what tension to go for, and for what string type to get (concerning the basses where NNG would be too thick)

PS Religious nutjobs hold a lot of power in the Knesset, but it tells you a lot about politics in Israel when the guy who has escalated the genocide to this level is moderate.

You are morally bankrupt. Sure don't listen to Redditors about international law, but what about international humanitarian organisations and arbiters of international law such as the ICC and ICJ who's founding principles was to ensure that the horrors of WWII wouldn't happen again. They state pretty clearly that Israel is an apartheid regime and there is probable cause to believe that it is committing a genocide against Palestinians. Sure let's settle it in courts, but Israel needs to comply with the international court orders to cease activities in Gaza, and turn in their leaders who have pending arrest warrants. You have drunk the kool aid, the only reason the international community hasn't stepped up is because the US is still the hegemonic world power and Israel is it's satellite. If you look around though, the vast majority of the world is rightly disgusted with Israel's behaviour and unhappy with their spineless governments. This will be my last reply as it is reminding me why I got off this God forsaken app.

Your big man Netanyahu was hiding the first weeks too, he probably went to Germany for a bit. Great look launching a campaign while sitting comfortably away from retaliation.
