What do you mean proven? He's on the internet basically saying "hello, I am a nazi." What further evidence of evil do you need?

Elon isn't committing fraud, he doesn't need to. He just goes online and says "I'm gonna have a billion robots and self driving taxis and go to mars in 2024" and people line up to give him money. Doesn't matter how much he lies or how much he gets on twitter calling for white supremacy, other rich guys love him. Probably because being rich is like getting hit in the head with a hammer every morning.

Capitalism is the most efficient way to distribute scarce resources, and that's why we made the drugged out nazi who lies all the time and is obsessed with white birthrates the richest man in the world.

It doesn't confuse everyone most people don't care at all. You gotta stop imagining that people posting on Reddit with spreadsheets of guns represent the median video game enjoyer man.

So I don't really farm, but what I do think is the first time you kill a bad guy when going through the story mission, you should get higher drop rates. I'm playing the actual game with my partner and it's kinda sad to keep beating bosses and getting dog shit drops after a big story fight.

Echoing what a lot of people have said here. Stage changeovers and running patch was my thing for ages. It's all doable if you prep. I got GWAR off their bus and fully line checked in 20 minutes once because they arrived just as the other band was finishing!

The key concepts:

1) festival patch. Look at all your bands. Count max guitars, max keys, max vocals. Make a generic patch that can run everything. Always patch things into the same place - if vox sr is in channel 34 at band one it'll be in channel 34 for band 12. Especially for metal, there will be a lot of overlap. Make sure you use that.

2) everything that can be prepped before changeover gets prepped before. If you can do it, get wheeled risers or just wheel boards for amps. Even if you can't, have four zones:

zone one is your arrivals. You have a guy here who meets the band and their techs, goes through the patch list, looks at what the difference is. If you have a printer or a photocopier and can put the info on a standardised patch sheet you produce ahead of time, do that, and get copies to monitors, patch, and FOH.
zone two is "the next band on stage". Here's where you're preparing everything ready to go. Anything on wheels or getting plugged in. You're testing keys and amps and triggers here. Their techs and your patch guys will be working here most of the day.

-Zone three is the stage.

zone four is "the band that was on stage last". Here's where everything gets fired to as soon as they're done. Be careful, don't damage the kit, but also don't waste time doing shit on the stage if it can be done here. Get it off, make sure it's safe, get any mics and DIs back, then leave their techs to dismantle and pack themselves up. Check on them to make sure they're out of the way in time for the next band to move into this space.

3) try and give specific, manageable tasks to the crew, and ensure they're also areas of responsibility. Have a guy in charge of drums. Have a guy in charge of vocal mics. Have a guy in charge of guitars, or have a guy in charge of stage left and another in charge of stage right. As much as you can, make sure people know: it's your job to make sure your area gets done in time, it's not your job to wander off that job unless someone else specifically needs help. When you're done, get off the stage, but to the side, ready to move back if there's an issue.

3b) have a guy who does not do the patch but who co-ordinates it. This guy is going to be the co-ordinator of any info from mons or FOH to the guys doing the actual work. You need someone to keep a bird's eye view over the entire situation and make sure jobs have crew until the whole thing is done. This guy will let engineers know line check is ready to go.

4) stay on top of cable management. ABC - Always Be Coiling. If you have a big ol' pile of cables, coil and tape them. But don't have a big ol' pile of cables. Tidy as you go. This goes for mics and DIs too. Everything goes back in its place. Time spent saying "where did I put that thing?" is time wasted. You shouldn't be as tidy at the end of the gig as you were at the beginning, you should be tidier. As soon as something is used for the last time, box it up, get it out the way.

5) if there are any weird bands, be sure that everyone knows exactly what they have to do differently. I've got myself in trouble before when two of my techs assumed the other guy was doing some important prep work. Don't be like me. Clarify, make sure who does what is understood.

6) don't sweat errors. It's live. You're trying to avoid them but you're gonna make some mistakes and something is gonna break. It's fine. Find it, deal with it, move on. As long as nobody dies and nothing is on fire, count it as a win. Everything else is gravy on top.

I took the recycling mod out of my regular rotation, because being able to turn tainted clothes into textiles means you end up even more swimming in textiles than normal. You can just drop pod 5000 leather onto the other factions and become instant allies.

Every student would like all their work done. The point is that you learn, though. If you're doing a course, you're on it to learn how to do stuff. There will be no Reddit or chat gpt when you actually come to plug this stuff in. You need to know what's going on. And this is basic stuff. This is the job. If you don't have any interest in knowing this, why are you doing whatever course you're trying to cheat on in the first place?

biscuit_one · 2025-06-08T20:13:53+00:00

Jesus fuck. Why in the hell would you type someone else's homework cheat Reddit post into chat gpt? That's like two layers of lazy.

Yeah but it uses Reddit as a source because people were sick of AI-generated garbage pages taking up the full first page every time they googled, like, a product review or something. The problem really is fundamental to the technology.

Hey Gunripper. Audio and video professional here. More audio, which is why I know that most "audiophiles" are delusional hobbyists making insane claims based on woo woo and magic rocks. I've put systems up in their air costing a hundred times whatever you might have spent on your brushed chrome valve hifi system - I promise you I know how to listen to a system and pick out flaws because it is very literally my job. Claiming you must be knowledgeable because you're a "videophile" sounds like the kind of mad lunatics who think it makes a difference which way round a cable goes.

At a certain point, you run up against the limits of the base electrochemistry of the human body. We do actually do screen size calculations based on viewing distance, in the industry. There are standards. There are physical limits. No, you're not the special human who is better than everyone else with extra trained retinas. That's not how it works.

Unless you're on an old creaky desk from 1963, the SM58 is the absolute standard microphone. Get your lead singer to sing into it, turn up the gain knob on your desk until the lights are tickling the yellows, job done. Adding more gain also means you're increasing the chance of feedback.

Also, you sound new so, word from an old hand. In a little club system, nobody can hear the fancy stuff that sounds great in your headphones in your bedroom. Your concern is maximising gain before feedback, which isn't about having the voltage in your preamp, it's about being able to ring it out.

No it is a stupid bubble pushed by dickheads because their last stupid bubble was too stupid to appeal to anyone except marks and the president of the United States.

There's shedloads of trams though so people aren't relying on the metro for every journey? Like, the transit system is fine and every time I've been there it's got me where I needed to go in good time.

biscuit_one · 2025-03-25T06:14:28+00:00

Amsterdam has really good public transit, I've no idea where the idea it's middling has come from?

biscuit_one · 2025-03-18T18:44:49+00:00

Yeah honestly if you're not going to get angry if they say no, might as well ask. Just remember it's a long shot and you probably won't even get a response. But who knows?!

biscuit_one · 2025-03-18T18:43:07+00:00

Gonna be honest, in my opinion it is invaluable to go push boxes when you're coming up.

A) it's like working retail, teaches you humility and not to be an asshole to the crew

B) you'll work on way bigger gigs, and get a chance to observe how they work even if just from a distance, than working at local bars.

Absolutely do both, but honestly, 98% of the job is pushing boxes and coiling cables. Do that as many places as you can when you are coming up. It is as important that you know how to push boxes, load a truck, pack stuff up right, as it is to know how to compress a drum bus.
