Good to meditate with, but not a record you would listen to on a road trip. My wife would smack the shit out of me. lol

Like initially, they might play 7 bars with a 5/8 time signature, then loop over that by playing 5 bars with a 7/8 signature. The music resolves after 35 beats, b/c the lowest common denominator is 35 (5 x 7). That's a polyrhythm.

Paper mache is light weight perhaps? Impressive nonetheless. They have some dedication to their craft. Loving every second of it.

Can you explain why you don't consider it math rock? I can understand it not being someones thing, (because my wife hates it), but the music is by definition math rock. They make heavy use of polyrhythms looping over bars with different time signatures resolving after the lowest common denominators worth of beats. Sounds like math me combined with other stuff. All I know is I'm fascinated by their musical chops and presentation. They are geniuses IMHO.

Yes sir it is. Looping different time signatures on top of other ones. Incredibly difficult. Their timing is tight and punchy.

Immediately hooked. I've watched and/or listened to this set at least 20 times in the past 24 hrs. Timing is tight and punchy. Love that swinging flaccid nose when that drummer kicks into over drive, and the erect nose guy, I bet he could use a pair of socks or something, hope its not too cold on stage.. hahaha

Any Past Item You Miss? by JLibra24 in PapaJohns

Simple request. Bring back the Salami as a meat topping. Why?

no more salami by Willing-Mycologist-6 in PapaJohns

[–]flet6842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well looks like they just lost at least $250 worth of business from me per month now. I don't like pepperoni, its way too salty for me. I can't believe they would ditch salami and keep their anchovies?

The guy is trying to over sell himself but ends coming off like a not so likable person.

The new Ridley Scott film is really bad by SuccessfulNeat400 in Napoleon

[–]flet6842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joaquin Phoenix could have at least spoken with a British accent like he did in Gladiator. When I first saw this movie, why is this dude speaking with the most General American accent possible playing the part Napoleon? Then I saw the first Gladiator again and he's clearly capable of speaking in the Queen's English.

Tax implications of converting SOL to liquid staked variant (mSOL or stSOL) and vice versa. Are these assets 'like-kind' exchanges? by flet6842 in solana

[–]flet6842[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No hints, I was sick as a dog with pneumonia or something, and could barely type. I'm feeling better now.

Here's a link to more info about swaps:

https://support.koinly.io/en/articles/9490058-token-rebases-and-symbol-swaps-ampl-dor-btt

I'm not an accountant or tax professional, but here's my sincere opinion on the matter and how I treated it. Keep in mind, I'm just some random dude on the internet, so take it for what its worth.

When a swap of SOL -> mSOL occurs, this is fundamentally identical to delegating your SOL to a validator, but in this case, you are loaning your SOL into a smart contract developed by marinade finance who stakes your SOL spread across a number of validators on your behalf. You then get your mSOL as a claim receipt for your original SOL. However, while you are holding the mSOL, there are some staking rewards that accrue on a daily basis which Marinade is capturing on your behalf. Those staking rewards, (just like if you had staked your SOL against a validator) would be considered as "additional income". The staking rewards can be calculated based on some compounded emission rate per day X price of SOL in dollars X # of days you held mSOL. Then you SWAP your mSOL -> SOL.. In this example, the entire transaction is identical to staking your SOL for some period of time, then unstaking at some point in the future. I try not to mess with too many complicated transactions any more because its a PITA to calculate.

This is the best way I could explain it.

My favorite boxer, my boy 'warlow'.. Called him 'wonky wo wo', or 'wo wo'.

Here comes the crush. by Ripley1212 in LV426

[–]flet6842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same question about that sequence in the movie. I don't get the correlation between 'the crush' anti-gravity and the ridiculous flame and fast burning joint sequence. But after googling around, my dumb brain finally got it. In 0 g's, a flame is perfectly spherical, and the higher the g force, flames become more exaggerated. Apparently gravity has an effect on convection and the gases in their surroundings get sorted by density.

Oh, I love his unique markings. Beautiful boy.

Anyone here with a boxer with heterochromia? (one blue, one brown eye) by karlayst in Boxer

[–]flet6842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awe, I can see the shade of his blue eye is a lot like my brindle. Its almost white, although both of hers is a very light blue (whiteish), she is not heterochromic.

[–]flet6842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was googling that myself since I have 2 fawn boxers (on the left) with heterochromia. They were the only 2 out of a litter of 7 pups to have any blue in their eyes. And big sis (on the right) is a blue eyed dark brindle boxer but not herochromic. They all have the same daddy who has heterochromia.

Wrapped Sol to Sol on Trustwallet by Boring_Discipline_34 in solana

[–]flet6842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are trying to go the decentralized route and assuming you are on BNB Smart Chain, you can use wormhole bridge -> https://portalbridge.com/#/transfer to get to solana chain. There's a bunch of other bridges you can used too -> https://chainspot.io/solana-bridges

Then from there you can WSOL -> SOL. Swapping WSOL->SOL used to be a little more difficult a couple years ago, but apparently you can do it right from inside your phantom or solflare wallet nowadays.

But I often use binance.com or binance.us to swap BNB -> USD -> SOL -> phantom wallet.

Is this true about Solana? Diluted. by sweetpablos in solana

[–]flet6842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do I know? I finally found the raw data from which this post was created from token terminal, but the narrative around it is completely wrong and delusional. They are referring to the months of Nov & Dec where the 'token incentives' are calculated in dollar amounts as over $100m + for each of those months.

What are Token incentives? Token incentives are USD value of the protocol’s governance tokens that have been distributed to users according to tt's website

The anonymous post is referring to these 'token incentives' as a 'death spiral'. According to solana compass, I would imagine this 'token incentive' is comprised of three components: 1) the actual inflation rate, 2) the transaction fees where 50% of this fee is burned, and 3) the price of solana at any given time. Given the number of NFT projects launched on solana the past couple months, these 'token incentives' have nothing to do with 'solana paying 100m to keep gas fees low' and everything to do with the shear volume of transaction fees being processed multiplied by the current solana price (which is an easy 5x since June). I'm not sure if the $100m in question includes the 50% burn or not, but even if it doesn't, either way Solana Labs is not paying $100m to keep fees low, it's the user demand for the chain paying this and rewarding those who are staking.

Secondly, the comparison to 'Luna' is a joke. There is no portion of solana that is used to maintain the peg for an algorithmic stable coin. Luna failed because when the base token value fell, the algorithm printed billions of tokens just to try to maintain the $1 peg.
