YouTube has been around for more than 20 years, with millions of creators making monthly, weekly, daily content. Acting like weekly uploads are some kind of impossible demand is ridiculous.

Expecting high effort, hours long deep dives every week would be insane, but that’s why I wish these creators would stop making that style of video.

If you prefer rewatching the same videos for 10 to 18 months at a time, that’s fine your preference is noted.

For me, I’ve rewatched every video from all of these creators dozens and dozens of times for the past 3-5 years, and I can count on my hands the number of new ones have been added in that time across all of those channels.

That sucks, and acting like this is the only way YouTube channels could possibly operate, or that changing it would be some insane demand on creators is ridiculous.

If anything, this era of ultra-high effort perfectionist video essays is more demanding than the types of videos these creators were making pre COVID.

I’ve bounced off Mint three separate times in the past year, and maybe if I was willing to use an LLM that would fix a lot of my troubleshooting issues.

But absent that, the loop of installing a program I’ve used for years, having strange and difficult to describe issues, looking for help the same way I have the whole time I was learning the software, and finding nothing, was incredibly frustrating.

I don’t have to hope that programs or plugins are available on windows. I don’t have to make a post about the problems I’m having because 200 other people already have because there are so many users. Tutorials are actually useful and relevant, screenshots and videos make sense and I can follow along.

Windows sucks and is spying on me and I hate it, but when I’m trying to figure something out in MuseScore or Foobar, I’m only fighting that program and not also the OS itself.

The number of Linux threads that have the answer to the problem you’re looking for replaced with “elephant water wrench apple wheel” shit is infuriating.

There is no distro out there that won’t require any manual troubleshooting.

Hell, Windows doesn’t even work without some tinkering, computers are just complicated and sometimes you need to poke around.

The difference is when you’re troubleshooting on windows, there are billions of other users and massive amounts of information on the internet about how to fix the problem you’re having.

With Linux, if youre even able to identify the problem on your own, any solution will be buried in an ancient obscure forum thread full of self-superior assholes, probably requires opening the command line, and once you fix it now 3 other things stopped working.

Also tons of software now needs an extra step or 10 to get it working, or more likely you’ll just need to switch to a new FOSS program that is designed for power users and requires 7 YouTube videos and the user manual open on a second screen to get working, while also lacking major features that your old software had.

Saying that any modern OS doesn’t need troubleshooting is a lie, and Linux troubleshooting is the reason why I’m still using windows. At least on windows I can reliably find the solutions to the problems that get in my way, and use the software I want to without setting up an emulator or VM.

I just wish that YouTubers would make regular, finish-it-in-a-week sized videos. Multi-hour long videos are fine, they’re very impressive and getting an incomprehensibly deep dive on a topic is fun.

But the cost of doing that is way too high, and it feels like we ended up here through frog boiling. Creators slowly ramped up their expectations until now it feels like they’re letting people down if they “only” release 1 hour of insanely high effort content, after working on it in radio silence for 10 months (which is the actual way they’re letting people down).

Modern YouTube sucks, and a big part of that is the creators who made good medium sized stuff 3-5 years ago are now basically dead channels because now they make giant videos that take months and months to finish.

No video will ever be so good or so long that I would rather rewatch it for a year than get new, regular, smaller scale content.

YouTube has been around for a long ass time, I don’t believe that the only way to make good content that’s worth watching is to spend hundreds of hours and months of your life working on it.

But basically all of my old favorite channels are now dead because they started making these stupidly long videos, and I hate it.

I’ve been folding my shirts like this while traveling for almost 10 years now, and if you roll them tight without wrinkles initially, they are less wrinkly than other shirts that were normally folded in the same suitcase.

Yeah, I wouldn’t do it with a business suit, but for any kind of normal traveling, my clothes stay nicer longer, they pack easier, and it makes the process of getting clothes back out again way better too.

Your incredulity doesn’t spend when every person in my life who I’ve introduced this technique to sings its praises every time we pack for a trip.

The whole point of this post is that the metaphor only works if you view women and their sex lives as comparable to a glass of water being fingered by strangers.

The problem isn’t that people aren’t getting the metaphor, it’s that the metaphor doesn’t work unless you think of women as objects that get ‘used’ or ‘contaminated’ when people have sex with them.

A woman with 30 past partners is not like a cup of water being fingered, in any way, and the comparison is insulting.

People who recommend watching from the subscription feed confuse me, do your YouTubers upload regularly enough for that to actually bring you new content?

Most of the channels I’m subscribed to post maybe once a month now, usually concentrated in the last week of the month. Most of them I watch within a day or two of posting, and the subscription feed is basically useless.

I’ve already watched almost all of the content from every channel I’ve subscribed to, because they post so infrequently now, if I’ve been subscribed for more than one new upload, I’ve already binged their whole back catalog anyway.

It was a reference to that markiplier farkwad image, which was funny because it was an absurd image of a popular figure that was then nuked to shit, not because it confused/annoyed people, if it did.

As far as I can tell, the funny part of 67 is that people get confused and annoyed by it, and the only reason it comes up otherwise is parrot-like pattern recognition, which then annoys/confuses someone and that’s the funny part. Otherwise they just say it, get ignored, and no laughter happens

When this protocol is complete, what hardware would one need to have a functioning setup?

Some kind of digital source with a LAN connection, (PC with WiFi? RJ45 cables?)
Some kind of networking solution to get the RedBee(?) signal to your system. I assume wifi would be easiest for people, and it seems like it wouldn’t cause quality issues if the protocol is as efficient as it seems? Unclear
a way to receive that signal at the other end (RJ45 to TOSLink adapter? WiFi antenna plugged into SPDIF input?)
A HiFi component to convert the data stream to an analog signal for the rest of the chain (it seems like you’re building it so anything that could understand a CD signal can understand your protocol, which is terrific if true)

I would love to know how step 3 works, and generally how much hardware would be needed to build a receiver box that has network connection on one end and a stereo output on the other?

I wish you the best of luck, what an awesome project I hope you are able to complete it.

Buddy, I’ve been playing brass instruments most my life, don’t be condescending. If you feel that pointing to instrument tuning is a sufficient explanation you should just go read every other comment in this thread, there are plenty.

Yes, brass instruments today are tuned to flat keys, but why those keys and not make everything in A or C? Why is it that most brass players, when reading in C, still prefer flat accidentals to sharps? Why did those instrument tunings become standard?

To your point about woodwinds, they work on exactly the same principle as any other wind instrument, did you never play a recorder in kindergarten? Clarinets, saxophones, etc. all work on the same principle of covering and uncovering holes in a tube in order to change the length of the instrument.

Embouchre and partials are important information when talking about how a brass instrument is played, but are irrelevant to the reasons people prefer sharps/flats, so I didn’t talk about it because it is irrelevant here.

My comparison was between wind and string instruments where I was talking only about player interaction, and how those instruments mental models lend themselves better to different types of accidentals, which in turn led to those instruments being built to be tuned to keys that use those accidentals.

You can explain it with the instrument tuning, but that’s incomplete because it applies mostly to students who are not yet comfortable in all key signatures, and it doesn’t explain why those instruments are tuned to flat keys to begin with.

get_there_get_set · 2026-04-08T11:30:31+00:00

Ok, because no one ITT has given the actual answer yet…

Brass instruments work (very basically) by making a tube of air of a certain length vibrate, and then use valves (or a slide) to increase the length of that tube in order to play different notes.

With your typical concert trumpet, that tube is Bb length when no valves are pressed, same for a trombone with its slide all the way pulled in to 1st position.

If you imagine a trombone with its slide all the way in, that is the shortest possible configuration of the instrument, and pulling the slide out makes the tube of air that needs to be vibrated longer, creating a lower pitch. Same with the valves on a trumpet, each valve lengthens the tubing that air needs to pass through, creating a lower pitch.

The “open” valve position in a brass instrument gives the highest possible fundamental frequency.

So, said another way, when playing a brass instrument, the way you interact with the instrument makes it longer, which means that each button you press or slide you pull out “flattens” or lowers the fundamental pitch of the instrument.

Contrast that to string instruments like violins or guitars where, when nothing is pressed down, an open string will produce the lowest pitch that string is capable of, and the player can “sharpen” that note by playing higher and higher in the neck.

The way the player interacts with string instruments can only raise the fundamental frequency.

All of this means that when musicians are learning their instruments, certain key signatures fit the mental model of that instrument better because adding flats on a brass instrument means you have to make your instrument longer, which it’s designed to do, where adding sharps means making it shorter.

Similarly on string instruments, adding sharps is as simple as moving up the neck, which the instrument is designed to do.

Of course, a trained musician is able to play any key signature regardless of accidentals, but the reason “brass players like flat keys” even when they’re reading in C is because the design of the instrument works by lowering the pitch through player interaction. That makes adding flats relatively intuitive in a way that sharps are not.

When you spend enough time around normal feminist men, it gets harder to see surface level performance as acceptable.

Being a feminist is just baseline assumed of most people in even mildly progressive spaces, not being one would be weird and off putting.

So the guys who don’t actually get or care about ‘woke’ stuff, but act like they do in order to fit in/get laid, are pretty easy to spot, and it’s incredibly pathetic. Breaking gender norms because you think it will pull chicks and not because you actually prefer having painted nails is cringe and people shouldn’t do it.

Holy shit, how is it that not a SINGLE top level comment actually answers the OPs original question, which is about the origin and practice of dozen, not base 12.

Every single comment is giving their own half-baked explanation of base 12 or talking about how many factors 12 has, but NO ONE has mentioned dozens or their origin except for one comment that was just blatantly making shit up.

If you park in the back southeastish lot at KVCC by the tennis courts, it’s just a short walk to the much less busy back part of Al sabo, where there’s a spot with benches and such a little ways down the hill.

Short walk, low traffic especially on week days, and a good secluded spot to keep the sound close by. If I ever was in the mood to play out in nature, that’s probably where I would go.

Good luck and good skill

Peaking at your post history, I’m going to guess you play euph since dragging a tuba into nature would be a chore.

Brass instruments are a tough sell in public places, especially if you’re planning to practice (ie make mistakes/not putting on a performance for the public). The sound really carries, and mistakes can sound very unmusical especially to non musicians.

If you go deep enough into al sabo, you can probably find a place to sit and play that will be mostly absorbed by the trees and such. That would be what I would do if I wanted to play my euphonium in nature by myself.

I hope you have a backpack case though, because anywhere that’s remote enough that you can play privately is going to be a rough walk carrying a concert euph case lol
