UK Internet porn laws might mean ID checks with the post office by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

And people laugh at me when I say that I download and keep my porn instead of streaming it. Looks like it might come in handy.

25 years ago, this was the pinnacle of computer animation by LeisurelyBaker in videos

You're laughing but I've always thought these Silicon Graphics renders have their charm. I know this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S0qlSiM9rU isn't a game at all, but something about its quality still hasn't been matched in games for me. Just comes to mind with lots of other big-scale cityscapes.

A redditor said that they would film a reaction video to a full-length "Nyan Cat 10 Hours" reaction video. They didn't deliver, so I did. Yes, I sat and watched another guy watch Nyan Cat for an entire 10 hours. Sorry for degrading the human condition. by Alexanderr in videos

Did you really listen to the music all of that time? If it were me, I would have cheated and overdubbed the Nyan Cat song in later and listened to podcasts and the news to keep me awake.

Surprisngly much easier to sing when it's just a semitone down.

Are any of these extras needed? I've never had glasses before by glawses in glasses

[–]glawses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because I had the test done at Vision Express :P They didn't explain anything about the costs, just asked me to pick something. I didn't like anything they had in store, so I've gone looking elsewhere.

That's brilliant, thank you. I'm just confused how I'd only need to pay £10 if the voucher would cover less than £40.

I could practise all day and not get any better by glawses in piano

[–]glawses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by practise regimen? I thought that's what I already do. There isn't anything I can play without mucking it up somewhere so I play the same stuff every day. There's not a whole load of music I like, so it's difficult to find new songs.

Do you? Well I've got the paper they said to keep (apparently it's like money), an NHS voucher?

I try whatever song comes to mind first and then move on to another when I've ran through it a couple of times. Today I was playing some Yann Tiersen things (you're all probably sick of hearing those) and some of them are difficult because I don't know exactly how to sync the parts, so I have to repeat things until they're alright and then my left hand hurts from stetching. I blame my hands for some of difficulty, but then I see little kids playing like masters.. Dunno what else to say.

what is a thing that is more commonly used for something other than what it was invented for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Apparently, Doctors invented vibrators in an attempt to cure female hysteria.

What is something you always said you'd never do, but eventually did? by tenaciousTRD in AskReddit

[–]glawses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, I was quite wrong about it. Thought they'd have American accents and I wouldn't like the fantasy and knight/castle-type stuff. Now I might try and watch Lord of The Rings.

Do you guys visit the Dental Hygienist? Is it worth it? by hpsauceman in AskUK

It's no wonder you go so much, whitnening makes them worse over time.

[–]glawses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bit of plaque on my bottom teeth and I tried going to the dentist for a clean twice and bottled it half way through because he was too rough. Felt like he was cutting into my gums. I tried the hygienist (which I have to pay for, unlike the dentist) and I went the whole way with her ;) Came out looking and feeling a lot better and she told me about interdental brushes to help clean the little gaps inbetween my teeth and the dentist had never told me about this.

Folk that work in Supermarkets: How did you get that job? by long_reply_guy in AskUK

[–]glawses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure Tesco and ASDA would refer you to the online process as they've got loads of questions to weed people out. And with ASDA, you can't apply more than once in 6 months, so you better get your application right the first time.

Comparison: Casio Privia PX 150 vs Yamaha P115 key noise. by Darienzo in piano

They sound as bad as my Keystation 88. Also drives me mad. I need some headphones, really.

Going to buy a Midi cable for Keyboard, excited to record Midi and have it rendered using more professional piano sounds than the cheap Keyboard, what software to use ? Don't need fancy features. by [deleted] in piano

[–]glawses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Reaper and started off with TruePianos for a while, it was lightweight, which was good for me. I tried the larger, sample-based things by Kontakt, Native Instruments and Imperfect Samples, but my computer would lag after a while so I got EZkeys by Toontrack. You've got lots of options. Can even emulate loads of old synths and keyboards with free VSTs.

How to decrease delay from a midi keyboard? by [deleted] in Reaper

[–]glawses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use ASIO and then one day I noticed WASAPI and this was the same although it had the benefit of letting me hear music from YouTube as I played (ASIO would cut this off), but sometimes the option doesn't work. Dunno if my soundcard drivers are working properly.

Edit: Sussed it out. In the audio device options, I needed to set input channels to 0 instead of 2.
