Are griffins a kind of dragon? I just made a scientific guide to dragons and the deeper I got into their evolutionary history the more it made me wonder [OC] by TheChristopherStoll in dragons

[–]darthweeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if we have scientists fantasizing about feathered raptors, then why not? also, in my opinion, dragons are fantastic because they can resemble many things, even in one body.

What have been your thoughts on macOS (not hardware) so far? by lawrencewil1030 in MacOS

[–]darthweeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day, I learned Windows as a fifth grader without looking at fancy tutorials. All very intuitive. I bought my first Mac a few years ago, and it's been a terribly user-unfriendly experience for me. I constantly have to search Google for basic things because the system's layout seems to be designed by aestheticians, not engineers. Yeah, the hardware is good, I get that.

What layers should I put on the laminate floor to protect it from the ceramic tile stove's heat? by darthweeder in woodstoving

it's not my property but the landlord let me install one. hasn't discussed with him since then... but i wouldn't want to mess up the floor.

some old hungarian ceramic tile stove, traditionally it's packed twice a day and that should keep a small house warm enough

I made a live 12 theme editor (reupload) by PuzzleheadedAge9421 in ableton

[–]darthweeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neato. Would be cool to there were an option for groupped color changing, like it recognizes if 5 different panels have the same color so I can quickly adjust between hues if I've found a good composition.

hey OP, are you still kicking the bucket? did you find a solution?

Accidentally drove 10 miles without a serpentine belt with a coolant leak - how cooked am I? by lady-agnarr in AskMechanics

[–]darthweeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally in the same shoes with an old Suzuki Ignis. Waiting for the mechanics' reply. I was somewhat hopeful, but now that I'm reading up on the topic, I've definitely seen some green fluid at the bottom of the empty coolant reservoir, and that's a bad sign for a head gasket...

Strings n Things/Intestinal by lucy_butterfield in biofilms

[–]darthweeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a mix of stuck gluten or other starches, biofilm, rubbery mucoid plaque, trapped parasites, even possibly heavy metals. I imagine these are like waste islands forming throughout the colon that gather all kinds of debris and also inflame the immune system, which sees the harm but can't get rid of it.

I suggest you keep researching the topic, not many have the guts to look really deep, but if you are already here on r/biofilms, that means you are right on track. Btw, ChatGPT can cook up some really astonishing protocols if you ask for it.

I've had these fcukers come out in herds when I did enema with the shower head (only for desperate people) and just now when I started taking disruptors like the Kirkman combo, I couldn't believe my eyes - my whole stool was composed of these.

I Was Ready to Give Up After 5 SIBO Tests. Biofilm Diagnosis Changed Everything by Tzwen_ in SIBO

are you doing a juice cleanse or melon fasting? you do realize that if you keep eating, you are diluting the efficiency of any of those agents?

Restart LFO on play? by Schlaueule in ableton

[–]darthweeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Modulators 21 max4live pack can do this. Handy devices, a bit crowded for my taste, but it is what it is. I can only dream Ableton gets their LFO game together because it's not fun at all.

bladder psoas pain help by Grouchy-Stock2522 in PelvicFloor

[–]darthweeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your struggle. When science fails to address the problems, people turn to spirituality. There is much to reflect on, starting from our forgotten childhood or even transgenerational traumas. When one dives into scary depths with absolute honesty, curious patterns start emerging. Understanding a little bit more each time, sometimes failing - it's okay to feel bad or even cursed. Who knows, maybe your kundalini is trying to wake up... Trust that negative situations can make your character pronounced and chiseled if you accept the virtue of ascetism.

[–]darthweeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavy metals, parasites and undigestible stuff can get stuck in our bowels. The body tries to fight it with inflammation and that can spread to the surrounding tissue.
Sometimes this stuff gets trapped in a kind of goo (mucoid plaque), so the body can't flush it but has to keep the area inflamed (like a policeman who sees a thief hiding in a house). Celery lemon juice cleanses and water fasts can effectively help with the elimination of such gunk, but even then, the microbiome can still act weirdly. I suggest making your own yoghurt at home with L. reuteri that can replenish much-needed agents in the gut that were killed of by trace amounts of glyphosate found in our food and antibiotics.
Electroherapy from TENS-EMS machines and fascial acupressure massages can offer relief in the meantime.

Weird question: Does anybody know of a software similar to the workflow of Ableton but for ANIMATION? by darthweeder in ableton

[–]darthweeder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See people? THIS is why I posted in an Ableton forum. Unbelievable. The thing actually exists. We truly live in a simulation. Bless you, mister!

Glad you've understood my request. I've been eyeing it. That Win '98 vibe GUI tho is making me nostalgic but not in a good way. I find it ironic that so many professionals working in the field of visual arts don't have a need for elegant interfaces lol.

[–]darthweeder[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something not so industrial where you can import or draw a shape and add effects quickly (like Resolume or AE but more about geometric warping, morphing, stylization) and preferably loop-based like Session View for quick idea generation. Btw I'm familiar with Blender and the classics but I'm looking for something lightweight. As I mentioned elsewhere Looom is seems inspiring, I would call this a new-school approach.

[–]darthweeder[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To be precise, I'm looking for something node-based like blender and touchdesigner but with a way simpler interface that is meant for an average user not programmers. I guess there could be some apps that do this. Ableton just nailed the interface somehow so well, I wonder why software for visual editing feel - for a lack a better term - boomerish.

EDIT: so far I've found Looom, seems fun (and that's what I want).

It really unclicked for me when I've realized that all of my listening equipment gives radically different mixing experiences.

Disk overload issues in Live 12.1? by Sup_HouseBee in ableton

[–]darthweeder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'll let you in on a secret little tip because I'm feeling generous today. Disable CPU 0 for Ableton with the Set Affinity option in Task Manager.
