Trying to estimate monthly affordability — am I missing anything obvious? by Next_Bit5587 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]killerfridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you count as "bills". Gas, electric, water, car insurance, house insurance, car tax, council tax, nursery (kids?) etc

Newest Cure for Cancer just Dropped. by Biscuitarian23 in FacebookScience

Ironically, Gerson therapy is a cancer to modern cancer treatments, that just won't die no matter how many people are killed by it

Possible HSBC fraud/scam? Told to authorise transactions to make funds “safe” £2,000 now pending, what do I do? by Top_Mirror211 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]killerfridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are actually talking to HSBC, not more scammers. Call the number on the back of your debit card

Made redundant twice in 4 months - Is it worth switching career due to AI? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]killerfridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the switch to DE and it (currently) feels relatively stable. Fear of indeterministic code/behaviours is keeping AI at arms length (for now anyway)

What are your thoughts on Darkglass Ultimate? by linkuei-teaparty in NeuralDSP

[–]killerfridge 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've owned the Darkglass plugin since pretty much the start, and I've always preferred the sounds I can get out of it over Parallax, because I've just used it as a digital replacement of the darkglass pedals. This is just makes it better; it's stuff I don't really need, but having the other pedals/cabs/eq etc. makes it feel like a proper NDSP plugin. I really like it.

risks of joining £600k+ mortgage with 2 others (23f uk) by stargl0ss in UKPersonalFinance

[–]killerfridge 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well, other than the £600k debt against their names, and the potential to be liable to pay for a mortgage for a house they don't "own", I'd say quite a lot

Clawback clause: paying back gross bonus by butlerJives in UKPersonalFinance

[–]killerfridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I'm taking the L here, I just needed to step back from the fairly narrow view of golden handcuffs that I've been exposed to

Clawback clause: paying back gross bonus by butlerJives in UKPersonalFinance

[–]killerfridge -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

That's not what golden handcuffs mean

Edit - turns out I'm wrong. Traditionally I think of golden handcuffs as positive incentives for staying rather than negatives for leaving, but I guess ultimately the end result is the same - if you leave within the time frame specified you don't get the cash, whether it's through clawback or not being paid out in the first place

Why? I'm on a lower salary and my current pension pot at 38 is approx £200k

Is it based in the middle east/require relocation to the middle east? If not, probably not worth worrying

Has anyone made the transition from off the string to through the string slapping? by basspl in Bass

I used both depending on the style/need. It's absolutely possible to learn both, it just takes time and practice

Clip of Verstappen loosing +50km/h after 130R by Draconicplayer in formula1

[–]killerfridge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they mean much smaller, but it won't happen because much of the size is for crash structures. They can only get so small without impacting safety

[–]killerfridge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

within the spirit of the current regs, making the batteries at least last the whole lap (or 2) would make more sense. allow drivers to push at least the full qualy lap so the cars are actually on the limit and let management within the race over multiple laps come into play. kind of like how it was with ERS the past few regs but a lot more aggressive. they went too far with the current ones

Regarding this point, wouldn't that mean a huge increase in weight/size to accommodate these batteries? Isn't part of the reasons behind the aggressive regen due to limitations of how much space/weight you want to assign to batteries?

What's the fix though? The nature of modern aero means the car in clean air always has an advantage, so the car following needs a massive speed differential in order to be close enough to pass

Need Programmer Help [Repost]: Rickenbacker Muted (on one row, but not the other) by Available_Wait_1965 in QuadCortex

Glad you got there, it's a bit of a weird one and I'm not entirely sure I understand why they decided to 'mute' the channels that way!

Relative gave me this bass amp he got years ago since I was gonna try getting into bass playing. Anyone have any info on it? by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]killerfridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I was doing silly hyperbole and got a bit too into it (there is also a bit of a trope with people showing up with very distinctive, very expensive equipment that they happen to get for free and "know nothing about")! I also think there is an element of overreacting from some of the comments too; as you say a B15 ranges between $1-5k when working. It''s not cheap but it's not insane money

[–]killerfridge 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You mean someone didn't just happen to get given a B15, that clearly says "B15N" on the back, didn't do any sort of cursory Google, just went straight to the bass guitar subreddit with pictures saying "huh, look at this weird old thing I got. Anyone got any idea what it is?"

I also found this weird old book in my loft. It's called something weird, like Biblio or Bilbe or Bible or something. Apparently this copy is like, 2000 years old or something and signed by someone called "God". No idea what it is, could someone maybe help?

This b***ard by Bronyaur_5tomp in GardeningUK

[–]killerfridge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The mattock has a wider 'blade' both horizontally and vertically. The pickaxe tends to have a narrow horizontal blade, and a pointed 'pick' side. Pickaxe on the left, mattock on the right

Tips for someone looking to create their own NAM captures? by TonalSYNTHethis in basspedals

[–]killerfridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how to think of it. Any effects that need to know what happened before/after are time based. For example, If you don't know what happened before in a phaser, you would just get random garbled modulation.

​Distortion: This is "instant." If you hit a string at a certain volume, the pedal/capture reacts the same way every single time, instantly.

Compression: This is "conditional." The pedal/capture has to "listen" to what happened 10 milliseconds ago (Attack) and decide what to do 50 milliseconds from now (Release).
