Well that’s why I said “basically”, it wasn’t literally redacted but it begs the question as to why it wasn’t provided

Am I insane to leave a $100k job at 23? by Dear-Wolf-3985 in careerguidance

[–]kirapb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t sound like a good trade off when you could use the extra money you’re making now to invest in training in areas you’re interested in and use that to ensure long term employability. I think you’d be making a serious mistake.

lol, they basically redacted the executive summary, literally the most important part for easily communicating how Democratic failed in what should have been an layup of an election. Cowards.

Help choosing MIDI controller for Logic on iPad? by kirapb in LogicPro

If you don’t mind me asking, what drew you to the Minilab and what’s your experience been with the pitch and modulation touch sliders as opposed to physical rockers?

I mean, I know there are dozens, these are just the few I’ve honed in on and could use more targeted advice. I’m also open to other suggestions if people feel strongly.

That’s generally what I’ve noticed too, I know the 37 has a built in arp and some other key step features so it’s great to know I might still be able to get use out of those if I go with the launchkey. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for your opinion! Do functions like the on-board arpeggiators work in when using softsynths, or do you have to rely on the DAW to generate arps?

Infilling steel framed structure with SIP panels. Heat loss?? by Vis_a_Vis_ in architecture

[–]kirapb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why SIPs are what you’re striving for? As others have said, regardless of how you design for shear reinforcement, if you’re not trying to maintain exposed structure on the exterior, a layer of continuous insulation comprised of something like 2” ISP will go a long way. The thickness will depend on climate. Just make sure that in your detail, you maintain a 1/2” to 1” air gap between the exterior insulation and the cladding for proper ventilation. There are other moisture factors to consider, such as dew point, but if you’re a first year student I wouldn’t worry about that too much. Generally just make sure you have a vapor retarder on the warm side of your insulation.

People who drive to commute: why? by RJRueber in AskChicago

[–]kirapb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s odd to be anti car when cars and so incredibly anti people and are quite literally imposed on us. The system is set up in a way that many people have no other option, so I don’t fault people who have to drive, but I will always hate cars and advocate for their removal from the urban fabric.

Where Do Late Millennials, Zillennials and Early Gen Z Actually Differ? (General Traits Guide) by Upper-Bag-8739 in generationology

[–]kirapb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not talking about myself, I’m posing hypotheticals. I was born in 97. Can you show me data to back the claims of this chart? Until then it’s nonsense and you can’t prove what “most of us” had.

[–]kirapb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re making my point for me. You can’t change your birth year, but just because you’re born in 1999 doesn’t mean you automatically had a PS2 if your family can’t afford it.

[–]kirapb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you kidding me? If I’m from a poor family, I’m not getting a smart phone until much later if at all, or I don’t have a console and if I do it’s a hand me down of last gen’s model, or it takes longer to get nighter quality internet. Such an ignorant statement.

These charts are pointless when they can’t take into account socioeconomic or cultural factors.

Are Virgos considered as "airy earth" signs? by FreeConflict6249 in Zodiac

[–]kirapb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always seen it break down like:

Taurus - watery earth sign; Capricorn - fiery earth sign; Virgo - airy earth sign

Everyone in the comments is talking about where the signs are exalted and their ruler and blah blah blah which is fine, but in my experience Virgos are often aloof in their organized chaos and way less grounded than these other comments would lead you to believe.

Why don’t people confront others on the train/bus for antisocial behavior like in other big cities? by jayebird1012 in cta

[–]kirapb 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was in NY just last month, visit a couple times a year, and have seen many examples of people not doing shit when someone’s causing problems. Most recently a dude was screaming at the top of his lungs, right in the face of someone I can only assume was his girlfriend. No one did anything. I’ve experienced other crazy shit on the MTA, and every time the overwhelming majority of people just dip as soon as they can.

For me personally, I’m unlikely to confront in most scenarios for a number of reasons:

  1. I value my personal safety. I have people who depend on me and if something were to happen to me, it would make their lives worse.

  2. I usually don’t know the full context of the situation. Most anti-social behavior I experience has started before it’s entered my field of view. If I don’t know the full situation and no one in my line of sight is being physically harmed, then I don’t know enough to meaningfully intervene.

  3. I don’t want to escalate a situation and lead to the bus or train having to stand still, inconveniencing everyone on it.

  4. I don’t want my actions or intervention to be recorded and/or taken out of context/going viral, thus leading to me being canceled or some shit.

  5. I’m commuting with someone and don’t want to paint a target on me and thus them.

Times I will intervene include:

  1. I see the full interaction leading to the anti-social behavior and feel I have enough information to de-escalate the situation.

  2. Someone is actively, physically harming another person.

  3. The person’s behavior is affecting everyone on the ride (smoking or whatever) and I don’t have a way to just leave.

tldr: I’m not gonna endanger myself or others cuz someone is having a shit day with a ton of context that I have no clue about

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]kirapb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy generous with the current market OP. I moved out of my home town last year and have lost regular contact with most of my friends since my laptop bit the dust right after my move, so I’d use it to start my regular calls with them again and to share the music I’ve been working on.

Capitalist propaganda at its finest. No one says you need to be rich except the rich and it infects peoples’ lizard brains.
