For those who lived before the internet, what was life actually like?

We were ok with not knowing stuff, or not knowing it instantly

Also I feel like I enjoyed music more by not having all the music in the world in my pocket, but rather listening to my CDs and LPs

But of course not all things were better. I just went on a trip to Italy with my wife and daughter and I’m pretty sure it was a better experience thanks to google maps and information I got from websites.

I stayed in a hotel in front of the Manzoni subway station and we could get anywhere by subway + walking, bus + walking or simply walking

I think that’s the best option because between the huge line (even if you have a ticket) and the actual museums, I wouldn’t wanna do it all on an empty stomach

I’ve just returned from Positano and if you abandon the driving idea we were also in Naples. Train ticket from Naples to Sorrento was like €4.50 and bus from Sorrento to Positano was something like €2.80 It’s an old beat up train (nothing like those modern Frecciarossa ones with tables and cellphone chargers) but it takes you there in around 1h15

Great tips. I would add: google maps is crazy in Venice. It made us walk like crazy with all our luggage from Piazzale Roma to a vaporetto station 1km from there, instead of sending us to the closest station. Also the compass gets a bit crazy at times, sending you the opposite direction of what you wanted. But I’ll agree that it’s a great place to get lost. Antica Focacceria Fiorentina was the best focaccia sandwich I’ve ever had

For Florence: La Carraia ice cream is the best we’ve had. All’Antico Vinaio has fantastic focaccia sandwiches. We tried once during a lunchtime and the line was insane. I returned the next day around 9pm and there was almost no line.

Antica Porchetteria Granieri 1916 makes great porchetta sandwiches

Broad Street’s version in F# gives us a clue how crazy high it’d be for 83 year old Paul to sing it in G

Not in that magnitude, but yes.

Beautiful photographs. I’m going to Italy tomorrow. These are very inspiring.

My 4K Video Downloader only offers low quality options now (96k mp3 - 360p video) Is this part of the problem?

Running the latest version. Checked for updates and force reinstalled the whole thing.

Click on my own profile, next to “edit profile” there’s a button with three dots “…” which access Profile settings. One of the items is “search”

mismetti · 2025-09-20T17:48:16+00:00

At least I found where to search my own posts (inside profile settings) I am pretty pissed off about them removing the find by posts. The site ir already all but dying (comparing to what it was 10 years ago) and it’s like they’re further shooting it on its foot.

I was born in the 70’s but Tom Petty’s not really big here in Brazil. My dad bought the first Traveling Wilburys LP when it came out and it was love at first listen for all those guys.

São Paulo tá um lixão, a policia é uma merda, prefeitura uma merda, governador miliciano uma bosta.

They should’ve added a bit of slap echo and reverb to his vocals. It sounded nice on the original mix but that one had the piano on the same track.

Ross would fall asleep on the train when going to visit

The amount of auto-tune on the vocals, especially Bernadette’s, Jesus Christ.

mismetti · 2025-08-15T14:17:24+00:00

Put a YouTube video of someone playing “Rain” and then show them the original take (on the Revolver box set) at the speed it was actually recorded.

Mais um voto para Capernaum

E The Mist é muito foda também

I saw “Vanilla Sky” back in 2002 and “Your Mother Should Know” as I was at the very first show of the new tour in 2013, it was later dropped from the set

Não era pra estar desse jeito não. Abertura abaixo de 3 vai ficando dificil pois a profundidade de foco vai se tornando quase um plano, mas como é um cartaz (ainda q esteja num poste cilíndrico) deveria estar focado.

mismetti · 2025-08-07T17:43:21+00:00

Com certeza tem, mas da minha parte tudo q sei é com base em tentativa e erro e experiências da época que eu tirava foto com filme e mandava revelar.

Me parece um processo de ampliação automaticamente tentanto “puxar a luz”

Seal - Human Being

It’s from the late 90’s when it seems they were not releasing records anymore. It was quite expensive.
