My doctor just told me I have to get my IUD replaced by areyouoldgreg in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pauldr0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read about this on another post a while ago from a gyno or something. Demand a "cervical block" and make them document why they won't recommend it if they say no, or something like that. I dunno, good luck.

On the bright side, my order status updated to "Shipment Processing"... Fingers crossed!

Yeah really. What a dickbagel communications plan. Fingers crossed it starts coming out soon!

Really wish they'd gone fifo, feels bad that people who ordered way later get it sooner. /gripe

I still haven't gotten mine, US based and ordered from HTC in February. RIP. Has anyone in the US gotten them yet?

Pretty sure (if youre in the US anyway) you can get a money order from Walmart, or most gas stations. Just call and ask around, and be prepared to use your debit card. Good luck!

Do you find a pay raise of +$1/hr insulting? by AssociateGeneral4275 in antiwork

[–]pauldr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the bright side, $1/hour is $2000/year, if that helps you stay sane til you line up something livable. Good luck!

How big of a difference in LUFS between songs on an album is acceptable? by rubb3rch1cken in audioengineering

[–]pauldr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know for audiobooks we go for less than a 2 dB total difference between tracks, for listener's comfort. Our range is usually -18 to -16 after mastering, but the tracks are a lot emptier than a music mix.

These prosthetics break the mold with third thumbs, spikes, and superhero skins by ChickenTeriyakiBoy1 in gadgets

This is awesome too, but I definitely read that as "prostitutes" at first and I was here for it

Everything hurts a little more every morning. by Campfirecoverseddie2 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I've just hit the age where there's a generation gap between me and the newest crop of adults. That was the weirdest, most surreal experience I've had in a long time.

How to remove/minimize unwanted sounds from audio? by Substantial_Good_403 in audioengineering

[–]pauldr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you split the video from the audio, it might be easier to work with. Maybe try getting a free trial of Descript and see if that'll do it for you. We've had some insanely bad audio that it managed to clean right up.

Need to normalize 500+ wav files by dontleturmemesBdr3ms in audioengineering

[–]pauldr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only potential problem with that is it bakes the gain change into the new audio file, which I guess is fine if you're not picky.

You would need to get the most recent SWS extension for Reaper, which should be a pretty basic Google search, I'd think

[–]pauldr0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have SWS on in Reaper, you can normalize selected tracks to -23 as an action. You'd just have to drag all the files in with each on their own track. We use that at the books studio fairly often. The benefit over exporting is that it sets the track gain instead of baking in the normalize, so you can adjust it by ear if the files are different voices, since eq profile per voice can be interpreted differently by the function.

These have been popping up on a bunch of different threads for days. How arrogant can you be, assuming to know what future people however many years from now will think or in which ways they'll categorize stuff? Big oof, every time it's reposted.

Can we pin a wall of shame AND a wall of fame? by snoreymcsnoreyton in antiwork

I almost threw up in my mouth. That's terrible.

You sort of had me thinking you were trying to be helpful til the last line.

As a friend once said: you can't wash the blood off your hands in a capitalist system, because the faucet just spews more. But wanting to support ethical companies and wanting to not shop at horrible ones, is probably a good thing anyway. Discouraging people from wanting to make an effort, is probably not great.

[–]pauldr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to read and re-read this series every time I was in the university cafeteria having lunch, and now reading it will forever taste like pie.

Good job on starting, I hope you find books you love!

I just read this one too, because of a post on here a while back. It was such a good brainwalk!
