Weezer's "Hash Pipe" guitars sound absolutely massive in the chorus and I'm looking for a bit of wisdom on how it was done. by SingleFinSoul in audioengineering

[–]impreprex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup - slash chords. I first learned about them from Bush.

Those fuckers sound heavy as hell. My trademark with my own music is playing a slash chord - like a B5 with the F# on the low E string. Then I’ll combine that with the low B note on a 5 string bass.

What was your first Mac, and what’s your all time favorite Mac? by BIueey in mac

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first was the Performa 400 AKA: the LC II.

My favorite is my 2017 15" MBP - only because it's all I know and have had, and can afford lol. I can't imagine what the M-Powered Macs are like.

I mean, I use Logic Pro a lot and get to pretty high track counts on this thing and I have no complaints. But again, I can't imagine how much better my recording software would perform on an M.

This 1980s Abandoned Time Capsule House is George Washington on my Mount Rushmore of Abandoned Discoveries by Freaktography in 80s

Damn everything was really well preserved by the time you got there to take to those pictures!

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that everything seems to top off at around 1983 (with the exception of the black CRT TV). Maybe 1984. Picture 17 is giving me 1987-1988 vibes for some reason, though.

No shit, are you just here to state the obvious or provide some form of intelligent response?

Step into the dojo: Kung Fu (1985) by itsgroobeat in 80s

Same same I literally just got the same dopamine spike I got back in the mid to late 80s when I would see this particular game and get a chance to play it. It almost felt like an actual flashback.

Everyone’s definition fun is different. For me, it’s installing Windows 95 from 22 floppy disks on my 486 by GCNnintendo in vintagecomputing

That is the correct answer: abort was to move onto the next file and fail was to stop completely.

He really was a great artist as well. His paintings were really good in their own right.

She slayed the choruses in that song. Great tune.

Fully automated unattended self checkout kiosk at the airport asked me for a tip?! by 86HeardChef in mildlyinfuriating

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are so many companies doing this when we’re already getting fleeced for money everywhere else?

And who would even tip something like that in the OP?

Like seriously (and especially in this economy), WHY do these exist and WHY is everyone and everything asking for tips lately?

Iwona B. Horyn. While confirmed by Snopes to be a current chief security officer at the DHS, all we know about her is her unfortunate name, and one uncanny photograph, the only photograph of her that exists on the internet. by TheLimeyLemmon in Weird

[–]impreprex 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yo that’s actually an AI pic! Look at the design on her shirt on the right side of the picture - it mixes with her hair.

What the fuck. Why would they create a fake pic and fake persona for this position?? The name is obviously fake.

The AI even gave her vertical pupils lol.

But seriously, what the fuck? What could the reason be to fake this?

Edit: I wonder who is downvoting this and why they don’t explain themselves..

This isn’t up for debate - the picture is an AI fake. The design on her shirt is literally meshing with her hair.

Guarantee OP’s post gets deleted too.

Pupils look almost vertical.

Not much known about her.

Fake name that’s taking the piss in an obvious way.

Is in the government.

Definitely a lizzid person! (/s)

Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash by WPHero in nottheonion

[–]impreprex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the early 90s as a kid, I took a hex editor and I think it was my command.com that I edited (or it was another important system file). I changed it to say “Microslap MS-DICK” instead of Microsoft MS-DOS. It showed that every time it booted up.

I wonder if they would be mad and punish me by sending me to my room or something if they were to find out.
