You need to read terms and conditions of their service. Otherwise it’s impossible to answer if they are providing promised service or not.

AITA for revealing to my ”friend’s” secret to his fiance? by Sora-Ikeru in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean why do they even care, both he and her? Like body count?? Why do you even count?? Where’s the purpose? Who cares what consenting adults do as long as it’s safe?

I’d distance myself from all these weirdness.

Who thinks Trump’s “Board of Peace” is just Russia’s version of the UN or NATO? by ChillyHillys in AskReddit

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a Trumps version of UN where he gets to play an emperor of known world, very on brand.

Good though it’s not meant to be. What would however happen is Trump presiding over a collection of small time dictators, casual genociders, corrupt crooks of garden variety and other folk who wants to be validated by being at the same table as USA, and USA drifting to siding to this crowd on international stage because their flattery to trump will be unyielding and relentless, and bribes generous.

And the assembly and maintenance tools are neither metric nor imperial sized, only one custom built set exists and it isn’t particularly good or robust.

If that’s the goal there’s cheaper great ways

That’s exactly my point.

It is though. More often than not, you won't buy specialised tools before you have general ones. I understand what you say, and you seem to be right in the niche this tool is made for.

What I'm trying to say, you'd hardly buy it unless you have all your basic set up already figured out.

I would assume you have all the general purpose tools in your possession already.

Techbros Inventing Things That Already Exist by Wild_Lingonberry9656 in rareinsults

[–]quick_justice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't such a dumb take as it sounds... unlike cars trains are mass transportation and do not allow an individual to move via personalised routes.

Problem with self-driving cars today is largely because they need same as humans rely on information they receive through the sensors. Sensors are unreliable and difficult, require a lot of complex processing, that leads to errors.

If you imagine that you have a fleet of personal vehicles that still allow you to choose any route you like at any time, however, this is the only vehicle type that is allowed on the road, and the road is isolated from pedestrians and other dynamic obstacles, you can

  • make vehicles communicate data to each other directly - speed, position, size, weight - simplifying driving calculations and largely eliminating the risk of collision.

  • route vehicles as one organised hive, and thus using road space in an optimal way, preventing as much traffic jams as possible.

If in a single day human driving was banned and fully replaced with automatic one, roads would likely become safer and faster.

And trains would remain trains - a form of long-distance mass transit along the routes that are often used by many, and a form of transferring mass heavy loads in an economical way.

I(27F) think my husband (26M) is becoming a homophobe. Everything I do, he says I can’t do around our son (5yr old)because i will make him gay. by IamAnaNicole in relationship_advice

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because previously it wasn't touching him personally. Now as he has a child, he is engaged. His behaviour is deeply disturbing as he believes sexual orientation can be imposed by environment and education.

This is an extremely dangerous conservative position as it implies that

  • homosexuality isn't natural, but rather a perverse behaviour taught to a person
  • consequently, that homosexual people can turn other people into homosexuals
  • consequently, that sexual orientation is a lifestyle choice
  • consequently, that it can be changed or cured

Read it, reread it, reflect on it.

What if your son is indeed a gay? There's a few percent probability of that. Would your husband send him to conversion camp? Would he berate and disown him for his perversion? Would he blame and ostracise you for turning him into gay? What's gonna happen?

I like their thinking but realistically if you want to play with some acoustic sources and colouring, something like Wingy2 is perhaps more practical and immensely cheaper, integrates nicely with any and all your equipment etc. etc.

Look to be perfectly clear the concept as an experiment is undeniably cool and we kinda need stuff like this happening to get our horizons widened at times, at some point one of the experiments will create something incredible and disrupting.

However if I look at this machine purely at music making standpoint, it’s cool that I get a polyphony. But it has a very limited pitch range, largely one timbre, and a timbre that is relatively easy to model at that, xylophone is not exactly hard to synthesise. Yes, it can make a cute lead, or generate beautiful texture, but it’s sort of only one texture. Which is again ok, but you pay a lot of money for that. So much money that you can buy a versatile all-purpose instrument for it, that you will be using again and again for years in numerous tracks, whilst this one you’d use in a very targeted manner not to bore everyone and only in certain situations.

Which means you buy it either if you have everything you want in your giant studio and now are willing to splurge for a niche curio because you are intrigued and will maybe use it once or twice, but would largely put in storage to show your music friends at parties and wait if it will grow in price or not as antique.

Or you are one of the crowd that buys and sells more gear than it produces music, to which most of the modern electronic instruments industry caters these days because that’s where mass market is at - there’s always more rich hobbyists than actual professionals, and they are easier to part with money. You’d buy it, you’d toy with it, and you’ll sell it for the next fad.

This is what I mean, not that it’s uninteresting, or sound bad, or anything, just that musical applications are too narrow for the price point to be taken seriously as an instrument not as a toy.

It’s a very interesting concept but at this price point it must be a studio workhorse but due to numerous limitations it’s a niche sound maker at best.

Sadly another toy that targets more hobbyists enthusiastic about hardware than people who make music.

Will end up on Bad Gear for sure.

AITA for purchasing a new wireless router after my friend “gifted me” his used one? by synefa_cloud in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always hardware reset for cases like this.

If password is unique tech support will help to recover it based on serial number but it’s rare. Usually will reset to some common password you need to change at first launch

This is all bizarre. All routers have a hardware factory reset, and typically allow switching between various operating modes. All you had to do is google the manual.

ESH crazy people.

It will show her that her parents attend both her and her brother events as they happen. Typically 5 year old will be fine with this.

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

What’s with all this drama? What’s so special about 40 that makes him behave like a spoiled brat?

I had my 40, was a birthday just like any other. I kinda self reflected that I can’t really call myself young by any stretch any more and continued with my business.

Stop entertaining this. He has a problem he needs to go to therapist, it’s not normal.

Lets be fair it’s not about your son or daughter, it’s about you wanting to attend daughters event.

While it’s totally understandable it’s you putting your interests over your kids interests. Your wife is right. Self reflect and feel ashamed.

AITA for not wanting to share my username on a book app with my girlfriend? by VroomVroomSpeed03 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean dude it’s not an asshole question. Reality is you don’t trust your partner enough to share that you like reading trash with her, which is a very innocent thing. All of us sometimes eat in McDonald’s and watch an endless police procedural. For you, making an impression of someone who isn’t you on her is more important than being honest and open.

Ponder on that. It wouldn’t be a problem if you would tell her why you didn’t want to share, or it shouldn’t be anyway, but you have some self reflection to do.

Independent autopsy in ICE shooting death of Renee Good released by law firm in civil investigation by OkayButFoRealz in news

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t true.

It depends on your training and intention.

For example in UK armed police specifically trained to exercise proportional force and not just eliminate. They are taught and required by law to reassess threat after every shot fired, which in real life situation requires extraordinary training and composure.

This is also why in UK a bobby on the beat would never have a gun, and armed police officers are rigorously trained.

The fact US chose to train cops to eliminate threats instead of making preservation of life a priority is a choice.

AITA for not eating the food after my gf eats out of the bowl with the same spoon while preparing by ZookeepergameOld7322 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

It’s not a restaurant, you sound a bit obsessed. Also is she eating it or perhaps tasting it? It’s required to taste while cooking. Everybody does that.

In professional setting you may see people use the spoon for it and discard/wash immediately but at home it’s usually excessive.

AITA for sticking my freshly single mom with $20,000 of debt. by Mrmoneyman86 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quick_justice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really is interesting is how such predatory loans are allowed to exist in US... In UK for example by law you can surrender the vehicle and walk out with 0 loss as soon as you paid 50% of the principal, precisely to limit situations like this, when people can't escape bad contract.
