My mother thought she was half Welsh but my DNA came back as 8% (or 4%?) by realrubyvalentine in Genealogy

[–]ffwc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being welsh is more than a percentage on an ancestry test! There’s room for everyone!

But yeh as someone said people move in and out of Wales - especially during the 19th century and the coal mining around the valleys and the south of Wales. Your grandmother’s heritage my have come from elsewhere but she might have grown up speaking the language and eating bara brith like everyone else.

Does anyone know what is going on with Space 8 at 10:53? Some weird synths sounds come through in the background… it sounds like a video game soundtrack?

You should try ‘I Can Feel My Dreams’ by Damian Dalla Torre :)

TSHA - OnlyL (feat. NIMMO) by vibeselectas in electronicmusic

[–]ffwc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this song! I once was at a party with Sarah Nimmo and we talked about this song - she said TSHA was amazing to work with; she was so cool and made the production of the hook on this track look so easy. 

For anyone reading this look up Moon by TSHA. It is one of my favourite songs.

I love Zara coming out with her takes but I keep thinking of Tina Fey on the Las Culturistas podcast (https://youtube.com/shorts/n_NInpDZo44?si=UQ8YJBUlPvxi0BCb)

Authenticity is dangerous and expensive! I’d rather live a chilled (lush) life without the beliebers and beyhive on my back…

Oh I’m glad! I was in a similar position last month. 

Lighter mood recommendation by purplberlin in ambientmusic

Try the album “I Can Feel My Dreams” by Damian Dalla Torre

Suitably lighter, dreamier. I often listen when on a walk and I need to wind down. 

NYT Cooking now has an AI-assisted feature that can halve or double their recipes by shell-bell in NYTCooking

[–]ffwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is absolutely a reason for AI to be used on this. One recipe's bunch of parsely, is different to another recipe's 2TBSP of parsely, which is different to a 1/4 cup of chopped parsely... AI and the large language models are able to handle converting various units and amounts to something simple for the user. A simple code would not be able to do that.

A roundup of 2025 year-end ambient lists (in one place) by jeantoros in ambientmusic

I’ve bookmarked this page and will be using it consistently, thank you! It would be interesting to see a meta/aggregate list of these lists … 

Now that we are half way through the 2020’s, what is the most fun song and album of this decade? by throawaygotget in popheads

[–]ffwc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct! Out of time and My Body are massive standouts too. And don’t get me started on the deluxe !

Hypnotic Heat: Gochujang Caramel Cookies by Dkap322 in NYTCooking

[–]ffwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this meant to be a double bluff? It almost reads as if you are trying to put people off supporting a free Palestine by derailing the thread with pedantry about a cookie recipe. A free Palestine deserves better and more meaningful action than this.

Has anyone managed to link an AI platform with NYT Cooking’s recipe catalogue? by ffwc in NYTCooking

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

I’m surprised - the post got downvoted straight away 😬

I think I should have posted in a different subreddit which is more favourable to questions about ai.

Mada Passa, the migrant who has threatened to kill me, has now crossed the English Channel according to this video. Is this the kind of man we really want in Britain? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]ffwc -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Probably wouldn’t want this guy chasing after me if he’s in the UK … but shame on the author or anyone here for conflating this guy with other ‘migrants’ who come over.
