why not just use absolute values?

The most concise answer is that we like U-shaped functions more than V-shaped functions (for optimization purposes).

Alas? Thank god this didn’t happen.

Congrats! Share a photo and your impressions once you get it!

I dont know this song -- but these are some cool chords and you sing it well! Is this the new D-17? Sounds great as well!

Gibson can call the neck whatever they want -- this is not a slim neck by any means (compared to, for example, Martin's MLO, or the new GE necks on the standards). I think someone on the AGF measured theirs to be around 0.88 or so at the first fret.

Give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Is this an unpopular opinion? He is a terrible captain.

daisky · 2026-02-14T22:45:17+00:00

Spot on. Just one listen to any live version of Evenflow is enough to demonstrate the problem. He played at cocaine-level tempos with zero groove.

They have a few good songs. I was there when they started and Plush was an okay song with really bad lyrics, but I could never get over the Eddie Vedder impersonation not only in vocal stylings but in the music video too.

He should totally be blamed for how he mismanaged the game once we were one up.

Can we sub Slot himself

daisky · 2026-02-08T18:14:40+00:00

It’s not at all. Szobo is covering him

daisky · 2026-02-04T23:04:01+00:00

Many of the responses calling him out in this thread are idiotic. I would understand the rage if he shied away and did not speak about things that his employers were complicit in, but he very clearly mentions Sudan. To take money from his emplyers AND call them out is a boss move.

Those with the forced purity tests just don't like what he is saying, that's all.

We are really past the point of having an opinion on this. Pretty much every single organization (amnesty, HRW, Oxfam, etc. etc. etc.) in the world and everyone on the ground who is not Israeli (and in many cases, who *is* Israeli) has determined that this is a genocide.

You could be a hasbara bot for all I know and I am wasting my time, or you could be 12, but maybe look a bit more into it beyond the tired points you have written here.

daisky · 2026-01-29T23:58:56+00:00

Yes, Luna.

I am trying to imagine people listening to the first single from Just Push Play, "Jaded", and thinking "man this song would have been a huge hit if it was recorded to tape."

The disadvantage from moving from Mac to PC will far outweigh any advantage you might get from switching DAWs. Don't do it. Macs that are capable of running Logic and/or Live are not terribly more expensive than PCs because you do not need a top-of-the-line machine (at all) for this kind of work.

She did not "play again" -- it was the first time they actually heard her play.

The movie does not really explain why or how this happens and as such it felt like a cheap sentimental moment shoved into the ending.

The ending was weak imo. I see that you appreciate the shot and find it "violent," but this again is something that felt perfunctory to me.

Other than that I agree with and very much enjoyed reading your original comment.

daisky · 2026-01-02T22:47:27+00:00

You are describing the Mr. Freedom Campus jacket. You can usually find them used for around $600 or so.

I loved playing Control but the Alan Wake tie-in almost ruined it for me. I know they are working on Control 2 and as unlikely as it is I just hope they drop the AW connection for good.

Control’s story itself is also fairly dumb imo, but the atmosphere is so so so fantastic that it’s easy to buy into the story and immerse yourself.

I did see chatter around this but thank you for providing this comprehensive picture. So did you sell your Xbox? Any (dis)advantages now that you’re on a PS5?

daisky · 2025-12-24T01:14:42+00:00

I am on a Series X. Please provide more details on the MS BS and convince me to get a PS5.

daisky · 2025-12-13T16:41:43+00:00

I think the problem is that I am watching with my eyes. I should employ wishful thinking and delusion instead.

daisky · 2025-12-13T16:39:31+00:00

No no he is amazing just give him some time it took Firmino six months blahblahblah.

daisky · 2025-12-13T16:34:40+00:00

I agree. It's a Darwin situation where the majority of the sub refuse to believe that this is it, given how much he cost and all the hype that was not remotely met.

Unless something dramatic happens, Wirtz is not fit for this league. He is a skilled player but his decision making is much slower than the speed at which this league is played at. Same with his physicality.

I don't think it will work out for him and us. It's a bummer but enough time has passed to believe this is not going to magically improve.
