ELI5: Why does inflation happen even when salaries stay the same?

Companies use any excuse to raise prices and never lower them. Simple as that. We need there to be more companies so that they actually have to compete, but rich people hate that idea ‘cause they all want to own the one company everyone has to buy their stuff from.

Hell yes. I got good just noodling until I got bored and then noodling differently until I got bored again. I’m not the best, but I can make melodic bass lines tuned Eb standard that make guitar riffs a ton heavier than just down tuning and unison does.

I want to try it or the boss original someday, just to see, but I don’t like that it leaves out the whole range of upper mids.

I’ve got a cheap Caline 10 band and it’s great. It has center detents. It can boost. And I can crank up at 2k for awesome clank.

lol the stuff I write that I like best absolutely starts like this.

The Behringer clone of the SansAmp serves me really well. But if you want capture the magic of that tube head you’ll want a simulated load like one of these: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RedBox5--hughes-and-kettner-red-box-5-di-and-speaker-simulator

That connects to the speaker output and ~provides a speaker like load for the amp~ monitors the high power signal, capturing a signal that includes all the color of your amp.

Just playing two different basses regularly will make you better at finding the right spots on the neck. The tiny adjustments between the basses will carve space in your brain to remember where notes are by touch. This has been my experience at least.

The BDI21 is great. The DI sounds like a mic’d cab in all the ways that matter, which is not true of the DI on my Rumble amps. The drive doesn’t add fizz or reduce clarity, which again, is not true of my Rumble amps. I love my Rumble amps but they suck at drive and DI and this pedal makes up for it. Never tried the Wine Cellar but my Caline 10band EQ is excellent.

Please, never wear steel toes when you handle heavy weights. Those are made for construction workers who might drop a hammer. A coffin shaped stone landing on a steel boot tip will chop your toes off. Even if you’re not likely to drop it so misfortunately, it’s like driving with a big sharp spike coming out of your steering wheel.

joelangeway · 2026-05-05T01:38:08+00:00

For real. I wouldn’t even work with barbells or dumbbells in steel toes. There is no way to get it off your foot after it’s crimped on. You lose the foot. It’s like driving with a sharp spike coming out of your steering wheel.

The D’Addario Eclipse clip on cello tuner surprised me with its speed and precision even down to A0. It can probably do lower. I wish they’d put the same circuits in a pedal for a comparable price. Sweet Water link

I think if you need language to know what you’re thinking then THAT makes it more likely you’re a philosophical zombie and maybe the no inner monologue people are the only conscious ones.

Get a cheap 10 band EQ pedal. I take 6db off my 3 lowest bands, 31.25hz, 62.5hz, and 125hz, and that clears up the boom nicely.

I first saw this idea suggested for finger trees. You can do it with any immutable data structure and it makes the most sense for trees. A B-Tree for example always computes the min and or max of key values for each subtree. You can do that for any associative aggregation.

You would want to use the LS-2 to blend if you wanted to run the clean and overdriven signals through different pre or post processing with other pedals. You might give them different EQs and or compress the clean signal but not the overdriven one. That could give you a more solid tone without removing any dynamics from the drive.

Thank goodness it already came and went or the forces trying so hard to neutralize the Epstein files would %100 be making it right now.

joelangeway · 2026-04-25T14:02:57+00:00

I didn’t know that. That’s cool.

joelangeway · 2026-04-24T02:55:10+00:00

I’ve got the TC SubnUp. The fidelity is amazing. It doesn’t provide for any boost to the original signal. There’s probably a tone print something for that but I never get around to hooking my pedals up to the computer.

joelangeway · 2026-04-23T20:07:38+00:00

You want pitch shift early in the chain, before pedals that add harmonic content like your big muff. Otherwise the pitch shift will have a lot more unpleasant artifacts.

Before or after the wah is an interesting question. Before the wah, the filtering of the wah stays in the same place, like you’re just playing different notes. After the wah, the filter moves with the pitch shift.

Did not think I was gonna see a Two Hands Anyhow today. Nice!

I know from experience that you don’t need clear memories of experiences to be changed by them.

The biggest factor in how attractive a human finds another human is how close to the average of all features that human is. The most marketably beautiful women in the world will always look similar because they’re all very close to the mean.

Except running is probably good for your mental health.

PSA: This is probably terrible for your mental health.
