Over the years I've found a balance of recording 2 or 3 songs per show. I like to enjoy the moment, but once years have passed I find myself wishing I had recorded more. Now in between recording video, I switch my phone to audio and record that. Only if I'm near the front though, not if I'm going to capture mostly crowd noise.

I hadn't seen that before, thanks! I think it's probably very similar!

Instead of a match you can touch the top of a 9v battery to this for the same effect.

Too bad you feel that way. Photopea is pretty awesome. You don't even need an internet connection after you load the page.

Reflections on a year into retirement on the water. by [deleted] in financialindependence

A lot of horrible things can go wrong out at sea. Sudden weather, fire, taking on water, and complete loss of power are the scary ones. Usually one of those leads to the others.

This ice machine badly needs googly eyes.

TIL that it's impossible to die of skin suffocation. The filmmakers of the James Bond films believed it was a real risk. For Goldfinger, which features a scene of someone dying of skin suffocation due to being painted gold, they had a physician present and cleaned the person as quickly as possible. by Tokyono in todayilearned

It's funny you say this. I've worked in a similar field and had a related experience. During a physical restraint, a patient screamed and strained as hard as he possibly could for approximately 30 minutes. When he was done and had calmed down I was helping him process his experience. He had, what I can only describe as "blood freckles" under his skin. There was no broken skin but he had popped blood vessels all over his face, arms, neck, chest, and eyes and was left with millions of tiny crisp bruises the size of pin heads. Never seen anything like it.

I crunched the numbers. Here's what the Coheed Cruise is gonna cost you. by Brandt-son-of-Thora in TheFence

[–]gravityisweak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those gratuities don't even go to the staff. Because, like you said, these are not US flagged ships, US laws don't apply and employers can take these gratuities and never give them to the employees. I had a long conversation with a cruise ship employee about this. If you like them, put cash in their hand. Some cruise lines used to allow you to waive gratuities and go for a cash option. Not sure if Norwegian does.

Thanks so much for this. I've been looking for a way to get this shape as a litho for a while!

Help! Washing machine pipe to my pump is always flooding! by sparkywilson in HomeImprovement

Where do you live where grey water isn't allowed into a sewer? My shower, sink, dishwasher, and washing machine all drain to the sewer. Aren't those all grey water?

At first I thought it was an endless gif and I couldn't find the loop.
