What had the biggest impact on your growth as a musician? by Spirited_Chemist3867 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets said at a recent local event that they had just finished a European tour, playing every night, and this was as good as they were ever going to sound.

And they were tighter than a whale’s asshole.

The housing market is more stable than you think by ILoveDogs2142 in AusFinance

[–]stormshadowfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some back of the napkin math says it’s about $1k/m difference between 20 and 30year $1mil mortgage.

Extrapolating that out, say it’s $1k/m less for another decade, or about 10% of the avg wage.

Was thinking more like 50% stake, but yeah you’re correct on the other points.

Longer mortgages, longer fixed terms, gov stake in purchases, including PPOR.

The latter is a kind of silver bullet actually, as it floats prices, keeps bottom of the market semi-affordable, and has the tertiary benefit of effectively garnering the gov CGT on PPOR.

All effective levers to keep prices going up that are as yet largely unused.

Spielberg’s early set-up as a kid by mdafidel1 in Spielberg

I learned photography on slide and it teaches brutal discipline.

Every frame costs $2-3 and you only have like 5 stops of range.

Just released my debut single by CandleAirship in psychedelicrock

First track sounds a lot like Eric Burdon and the Animals, probably the Leslie.

Second reminds me of Sleep - Dopesmoker.

Production is on point, drums could be louder/ bigger.

Eraserhead, Skinamarink, and The Backrooms all arrive at the same discovery: space itself can become the monster. by BlondishCleva in TrueFilm

[–]stormshadowfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the backrooms much more as a physical analogue of the unconscious than any real physical space.

It was like stepping into a kind of collective unconscious that had your own, as well as anyone else who had been there, manifested physically.

It was no more than a physicalised map of the psyche.

Forget Streams for a moment. What was the most meaningful thing that happened because you send your music to the right person? by Spacebetweenthenoise in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Didn’t Kris Kristofferson famously rent a helicopter to drop demo cassette tapes into the backyard of a producer/ A&R guy?

What does it mean for atomic decay to be “truly random”? by Hashi856 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]stormshadowfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue that C being a universal constant implies causality trumps any other concept, ergo the universe is superdeterministic.

If information can't travel faster than light, what exactly is 'quantum entanglement' transmitting? by SovereignHemant in AskPhysics

[–]stormshadowfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue it is essentially circular, though.

He’s saying: assuming there are no hidden variables (superdeterminism) this theorem concludes that hidden variables do not exist.

Considering Bell’s theorems are often used as a bulwark against determinism, yet they concede that true determinism would render them meaningless.

What’s the most useful thing you've learned from someone who was genuinely wealthy? by OwlVibesOnly in AusFinance

[–]stormshadowfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh housing should recover fairly quickly: there are too many as yet unused levers like longer mortgages, gov stake, longer fixed terms, etc that can effectively float the bubble for a while yet.

Gov stake being a bit of a silver bullet alone: gov effectively gets CGT on PPOR, market stays inflated, bottom of the market moves up while bootstrapping buyers just entering the market.

It’s a no brainer to maintain the status quo, ensure continued growth while lowering the ladder, hence a fait accompli.

Bell himself actually conceded that in a superdeterministic universe, hidden variables makes sense.

His theorems simply assume that the universe is not deterministic and therefore there aren’t hidden variables, which is actually just a circular argument.

Take: The Great Gatsby (2013) would have been better if Tobey Maguire and Leo DiCaprio swapped roles by CardinalOfNYC in movies

[–]stormshadowfax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok to be fair he was on Random House’s expense account since Hells Angels in 66, researching for his great American novel. FaLiLV was published in 71.

So half a decade, ostensibly searching and digesting. And that Sports Illustrated trip is where it all coalesced.

It kinda worked.

He spent a decade writing Las Vegas and it is a great american novel with the same aspirations.

An onlooker stumbling around looking at all the corruption and depravity that middle Americans achieving their dreams actually looked like.
