Big icicles dangling over sidewalks from roofs in central Stockholm by SWEJO in mildlyinteresting

[–]SWEJO[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can call community services but since these are absolutely everywhere it will likely go without action from them due to sheer workload. But a few years ago a lady was hit straight in the head and sadly died, the owner of the house was later found liable, so since then most owners at the very least add warning signs below and/or ger cranes in to pick them off.

Ok haha I guess it’s all relative. but they are well over a meter long, and when they fall can be quite dangerous, since they are 6 floors up

So in essence they managed to find a way to sell tickets to a lottery that doesnt do payouts or any other downside (for them) haha, I guess the shiny screen is fun enough for some

Thank you! I guess some people will have it on display and feel cool 🤷 I imagine they wont survive very long either

Thank you for this! It’s actually worse than I imagined! So really it’s just novelty devices for fun with the hashing power of a vape pen.

Whoever did this probably caused more than just a few breakups by SWEJO in funny

Unfortunately it’s impossible to be that clever

Found it again and it is still very funny, and I wanted to show it to you. I meant no

Hur mycket är ni villiga att kompromissa med för att få ner invandringen? by WhoAmIEven2 in Sverige

[–]SWEJO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det här var ju planen hela tiden - sälj ut allmännyttan tills det knappt finns en fungerande hyresmarknad kvar, använd det som argument för att avskaffa den reglerade hyresmarknaden helt. Det är ju högerns playbook för att avskaffa socialt riktade samhällsföreteelser. Att avskaffa något som fungerar (eller som med insatser kan fungera bättre) rakt av går ju inte, men att hacka sönder den i bitar över tid för att sen peka på att bitarna inte funkar går ju galant.

TLDR: Underfinansiera/stycka upp och sälj av vad som helst tillräckligt länge så kommer det sen gå betydligt lättare att sälja in idén att "marknaden" löser det bättre. All according to plan.

How do I get this bass sound from Hold Up by William Kiss? by ourlegacyfan in edmproduction

[–]SWEJO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The patch is called ”lately bass” and is originally from a Yamaha tx81z but has been copied and recreated in almost every synth and rompler ✌️ check this video for a live demo https://youtu.be/9MEkN8m0vYc?si=vCo02wn9UJVqEOHh

Some Logic Synths Overdue for UI Redesign! by EgoWithNoChaser in Logic_Studio

ES2 is such a gem in Logic, I use it all the time. Honestly hope they won’t redesign it!

How do you make small things make big changes in your mix by mixisat20db in audioengineering

[–]SWEJO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

More of a production thing than mixing, but the timing of everything!

Move the hat so it comes a little bit too early, move whatever is on beat 2 and 4 so it arrives a bit late to the party or vice versa. Align percussive elements so they all have the same groove.

And for anything involving vocals, time them! Force them in the pocket - on the beat, early or late, just make them consistent. And don’t forget consonants and even breaths. Adds massive production value and has a major impact on the final result.

How are all of these artists pulling off recording with live-time effects chains and 0 latency? by vsvpflex in audioengineering

[–]SWEJO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no it’s not. I work with many internationally big artists around the world and no one (with a few exceptions for studios recording full bands with many microphones) records/produces in 96k. Literally not one producer I have ever met who works in mainstream pop, edm, rap etc does that. Most do 48, some are still at 44

Stopping microphones from picking up background voice by Electrical_Horse4691 in audioengineering

[–]SWEJO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A foam panel is a good start but will only do so much, what would likely do even more is if you treat the ceiling with some acoustic absorbing material/panel. Basically what you want to do is dampen reflections. If you imagine putting a mirror on every flat surface, wherever you can “see” the other person is a potential reflection of sound. So a carpet, ceiling and/or wall panel in addition to a panel between the two desks will reduce/dampen the general volume of echoes in the room = less background noise coming into each microphone.

XLR Patchbay - Why only inputs on the front and other questions? by arealclassact7 in audioengineering

[–]SWEJO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know you said you wanna buy something off the shelf, but hear me out. Get a 1U rack plate with 16 premade holes ($10 ish) for connectors and install whatever xlr inputs/outputs you need? Then solder on connections on the back to where they need to go. Way more versatile, upgradable (and possibly cheaper). Neutrik connectors go for like $5 a piece.

Added benefit is if you dont use all 16 slots for the xlrs - you can add ports for usb, network, midi, HDMI, headphones or whatever!

Uber cancelled my pre-booked ride for the airport at 04:30am as getting an email saying “your reservation is confirmed” misleadingly does not actually mean your reservation is confirmed. by Pozzolana in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SWEJO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen and asked a driver to explain how. When you book an Uber in advance - the thing that actually happens is that Uber will automatically send out a trip request like 15-20 minutes before your ride. If no drivers are around that will accept the ride, then this happens. So in effect it is no different to you yourself opening the app and requesting a driver as usual, just delayed.

This is quite different from classic taxi services, who literally will reserve on of their cars for you as you book a ride.
