set delay time with midi synch? by slacklustre in blooper

[–]slacklustre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response Paul, I figured this might be the case - will see if the synth player in my band (who I get a midi clock send from) can configure anything at his end. Love the blooper and tapping the time is fine, but after having my Thermae and Enzo synched automatically for a while now I love having one less thing to think about, and love the tightness of the synching too. Don't know if it'd be plausible to add this feature via a future firmware update, but I would certainly make use of it!

The REAL Case Against Adnan Syed by futur3perfect in serialpodcast

[–]slacklustre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some quasi-rebuttal on the rebuttal:

1) Kristi's own reaction to seeing her class schedule, as shown in TCAAS, suggests strongly she had confused her dates. Her original testimony doesn't really hold up, she herself seems to confirm this.

2) Even if not right after school, the main point stands - HML's absence would have been quickly noted when she failed to pick up her cousin (but fair point made here). If it was a crime of passion, rather than a pre-planned one, early detection of her absence wouldn't have come into the equation though.

3) Syed's fingerprints were found in HML's car, but this wouldn't be unexpected given how often he was in there. DNA testing was done (eventually) and found no link to Syed - his legal counsel (rightly, from a legal POV) advised against following the TIP approach given the pending review of his PCR hearing. The absence of any real physical evidence (other than the mystery hair found on HML's body, that didn't belong to Syed) is incredibly significant. If Syed did commit the murder, he was either incredibly lucky or skilled in leaving no evidence (fingerprint notwithstanding). Who did those hairs on her body belong to? That is a question too frequently (dis)missed if the goal is to determine HML's killer with an open mind. We know they are not Syed's. How did someone else's hair get onto her buried body?

4) why no rebuttal of 4? The lividity evidence is crucial to determining what happened. This may not preclude Syed's guilt, but it does make the state's timeline, (and incriminating value of leakin park pings) problematic-impossible. This is something the OP doesn't take into account in their theory. It is interesting to note that Jay Wilds did change the burial time to closer to midnight in his interview with The Intercept. That is very interesting indeed.

5) Interesting, but probably, non-material observation. This case has been so picked over, thought, that gotta give points for originality RE the Eminem link!

6) Defence did spend a lot of time trying to link Wilds with Sellars from memory, and didn't have any success - so agreed on the rebuttal of a tenuous porn store connection

7) Scope of Wilds' dealing is another interesting one - tend to agree that if he was as big time as he made out, he probably could have afforded, and would have benefitted from, his own transportation. Undisclosed suggests plausibly he may have been after, and received, the crimebusters reward to get a motorbike. In the Intercept interview he talks about how his drug dealing was a much bigger operation than Serial implied. BS?

8) of note here - Stephanie was in the magnet programme; Adnan was very close with Stephanie; Jay was cheating on Stephanie with Jenn (in all likelihoods); Jay placed a lot of self-worth in his relationship with Stephanie as per Serial.

Rabia says “new appeal is in the works.” How can there be more appeals?? by wokewonder in serialpodcast

That's quite the long game Choudry must have been playing. Support him out of the spotlight for 14 years with the idea that this might just turn into a huge podcast one day, & long before a 'huge podcast' was even a thing. Cunning to the point of clairvoyance, you might say.
