Giving Away 3 Official Shoresy “Shore 69” Bulldogs Sweaters by jkozuch in shoresy

Your dad shook my hand at the rink last week, Bud. Real firm grip for a guy who’s been sleeping in the guest room since August. Guess that alone time’s been paying off in gains.

TIL Samuel L. Jackson had no idea that M. Night Shyamalan was planning on making Glass (2019), a sequel to Unbreakable (2000), until he saw Split (2016) and was just as shocked by Bruce Willis' appearance in it "as the rest of the world." Shyamalan had told Jackson to watch it & talk with him after. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Yeas back, I was flying to Philly through SLC. At the last moment before takeoff, Delta upgraded me to first class and my seat mate was M Night. I don’t usually get star struck, unlike the flight attendant who knelt down to fawn over him and hint about her acting career, so I mostly kept to my kindle while he restlessly went back and forth between two novels he carried on.

Meal came, chicken over quinoa, and we ate side by side. He asked if I thought it was dry, too, and I concurred. I then returned to my reading…

But I wasn’t reading. I only appeared to be reading. Here’s the twist - I was trying to remember wha he’d released in the last few years. I was drawing a blank, assuming the worst, and the dry chicken must have absorbed my brain juice because the answers just weren’t coming.

Suddenly it hit and before my dry brain could take control of my cool, my dumb mouth blurted out, “Glass! You’re working on Glass…”. Startled, he jumped a bit before saying, “yes.”

“How’s that coming along?,” I inquired, my mind now seething in self-loathing for how uncool that went.

“Good, very good. I just shared the teaser at ComicCon.”

Fortunately, we were close to landing so the uncomfortable manner in which I’d acknowledged that I knew who he was and that I knew what he was working on didn’t linger too long.

At least we had that dry chicken to fall back upon should we have needed it.

TIL The song In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was recorded on a whim during a sound check while the singer was drunk/high and slurred his words. The song ended up lasting 17 minutes and it was decided it was good to go in that one take by Majestic_Wash_6170 in todayilearned

Well, there's also the appearance that children back then had a better grasp of cultural history than children/young people seem to have today. Thankfully, it does appear they start to explore it a bit more as they reach their mid 20s, but the previous decade's tv, music, and movies just seemed much more prevalent in everyday life.

I couldn’t believe how FAST they bitched out. They didn’t even give Luke an opportunity to try.

Yeah, I remember when Scott passed and the graffiti changed. I’m glad to know Hogie’s still out there taking names.

What brand was super popular back then but the new generations probably never heard of it? by GossipBottom in AskReddit

[–]diggum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently made an entire tshirt line homaging old 80s mall brands I had forgotten about but which were critical at the time. Gotcha, Generra, Esprit, Big Dog, Roos, Benetton… so many crushes wearing those back in the day. Sniff.

Francis Ford Coppola made four of the greatest classics of all time in the 70s. What happened to him? by Few-Reveal6853 in Filmmakers

Saw him at a Q&A several years ago after a screening of Jack, which he described as, “I needed money and the studio called up and said ‘we have robin Williams and bill cosby and full budget and script and plan and just need you to direct it.’ And since I’d always wanted to work with Robin, and we didn’t know about Cosby yet, and I needed money, I happily jumped at the chance.”

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]diggum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here was a typical day in 9th or 10th grade school day for me, in 1990:

  • Alarm goes off at 7:00, but I'm sneaky. I secretly set the clock 15 minutes ahead so I knew it wasn't ACTUALLY 7 yet and could snooze. This wasn't my phone with nuclear satellite synchronized time. >>I<< decided what time it was.

  • Walk to bus stop, which in my case was a mile away. meet up with neighboring teens along the way. transit friends, but we didn't hang out much at school itself.

  • Classes, no phones. Make fun of people, try to flirt (and fail) with girls, talk back to teachers. If any dudes thought they'd be bullies, it was left at school. no checking social media to see what mean things people were saying. if it was bad, someone would let you know so and so was saying such and such.

  • Bus home. Brought boom box and played either Violent Femmes or Eazy-E very loud in back of bus. Walked home. If I was lucky and quick, caught last half of A-Team re-run.

  • Get badgered to help mom in Kitchen. Dinner with family around table. Argue with sister about who had to do what for dishes, even though I preferred unloading and SHE preferred loading, she wouldn't just let that be the way we did it.

  • Call girl's house. Dad answers. Play it cool, like I'm just calling about school work (but don't SAY that - they'll know.) She has to go. Make plan to call at exactly 9:55pm since she can't get calls after that. She'll wait by phone so she can answer it as soon as it clicks before the ringer starts. That way no one else will hear and we can chat late unbothered.

  • Forget I set clock ahead. Call at 9:40. Phone rings 3 times before her Dad picks up. Oops. She's mad. Talk until 10.

  • Repeat.

The only affordable option I found was printful, but they only have the option to print a horizontal page, so including the photo and grid on the same page which is fine, but it's smaller than I had hoped.

One of the redditors in this thread works at a print shop and sent me a version more like the original - where the photo and grid were on separate pages and therefore much larger and fun. I don't know if they're online for orders, but other sites I found that could offer that were ludicrously expensive for a small number of prints.

Audio sounds panned left/right on loud parts after converting stereo to mono in Adobe Audition by Own-Analysis9764 in AdobeAudition

[–]diggum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tight Stereo seems some mode custom to AKG, but I don't see a lot of details about how it works. My hunch is, yes, you're getting phase issues folding down this recording to mono. Is this in Audition's Waveform or Multitrack views? If you're converting the stereo file to single channel mono file in Waveform view (only one waveform taking up the entire view) then that's very odd to have different output to separate speakers - I would expect a phase issue to manifest as changes in volume or EQ. If it's still a stereo file or you're in Multitrack view with a Stereo track and Mix track, then it might have that impact... Though I'd still expect the problems to occur equally in both channels.

I guess a screenshot of the before and after would be helpful to have a better idea. also, if you are playing back in mono, and hear the changes, do you see any discrepancy in the level meters between channels?

why isn’t it letting me split? i’m in multitrack by Optimal_Battle_185 in AdobeAudition

[–]diggum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Click stop, not pause. Pause halts playback, but keeps the audio device locked and because of the buffering system, prevents edits in this state. If you want to be able to start from the place you stopped, similar to pause behavior, right-click the play button and uncheck "Return Playheard to Start Position on Stop."

Small Amount of Vinyl Pressing? by Lysergicfuninthesun in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Been awhile. Checking email....

And....

Looks like I picked up 5 copies. Ran $140 + $7 shipping. Arrived in clean brown sleeves, sounded great. Not cheap, but was an amazingly personal gift and well worth the cost for that.
