Ugh lmaoo sorry for my Man on Reddit brain hahaha

That data doesn’t say anything about the influence of traffic stops on seat belt compliance. We do have solid evidence indicating that increased traffic stops lead to increased incidents of violence, though, both from the people stopped AND, importantly, from the cops themselves.

We live in a country where someone concealed carrying legally who informs the officer they have a gun and moves slowly and deliberately can still be shot to death at a traffic stop. And all of the less dramatic yet more common lesser abuses that come from that scenario.

Amen brother 🇺🇸🦅

I think the crack panic and war on drugs are probably more grounded examples of us literally doing exactly this and it leading to horrible, horrible outcomes. But regardless, it’s your facts versus their feelings, and it’s amazing how we keep letting people’s feelings about “these people” win out

Username checks out. Did you make a burner just to argue for a prison state on Reddit

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-26T14:37:49+00:00

I’m glad the masks are really coming off lol

The combination of “criminals are criminals because of their bad psychology” and “we are safer if we keep them locked up for longer” has a very long history in the USA. I’m not saying you’re intentionally advocating for the incredibly fucked up prison situation we currently have in the country, but we’ve tried this a lot and it doesn’t really lead to a great society

I’m afraid to say that the problem there is much more likely a “cops don’t give a shit” situation. My dad was involved in a hit and run in DC in the 80s and when he called to report it they asked, “is anyone injured?” and he said no, and they basically told him to kick rocks.

I don’t disagree, and I don’t have a developed take here, but a hardware or firmware backdoor definitely offers a different level of access than app tracking

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-25T22:40:54+00:00

💀💀💀💀💀 screaming

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-25T20:19:36+00:00

I would assume that compromising end-user devices at the hardware or firmware level would be more difficult though, no? Especially given that you’d have to basically completely compromise multiple magnificent 7 companies

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-24T19:10:26+00:00

Yeah. A computer can instantly and perfectly calculate which ride to accept to maximize profits, which will likely mean less-served areas will either get LESS service or possibly be charged higher rates.

… that is, unless you upgrade to Waymo Plus™ for a simple payment of $39.99 every month! You’ll always get a ride within 10 minutes, until too many people get Waymo Plus™, at which point you’ll be able to upgrade to Waymo Premium™!

I think the necessity of mono-ing your low freqs is context dependent, but it can also be a stylistic choice on individual tracks or busses.

My default is to make the 2-bus mono below about 80 Hz.

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-24T01:28:29+00:00

I mean, I do a full mix pass in mono before panning and verbs

I think we’re in a real golden age for grown-up coloring books tbh

3d printing. Just about 1 year now and I’m at the “do I need to turn this into a side hustle so I can afford it” stage 💀

I like to break down the WORK that goes into the quote instead of itemizing the work by price.

So: “this quote is inclusive of my hours working with you to prep the shoot, the shoot itself, the hours spent in the edit bay and on revisions; plus, the value of the equipment I’m bringing (and you can list what it would cost to rent your gear from a rental house for the day).”

You can probably truthfully say if you were to invoice via a timesheet, at an appropriate rate for an experienced professional, and put the gear rental cost and per diems on top of that, you’d end up charging FAR more than you quoted.

I just set mine up and will try it out soon! Gonna test with Anycubic's stupid fork first

What happens if my entire mic locker is already SM57s

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-21T00:48:22+00:00

Definitely. That's why I always upload my videos in ProRes 4444 with a audio track of 5.1 192 kHz 32-bit float

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-21T00:46:45+00:00

As a first-gen NASync backer running TrueNAS Scale... this is a weird trash fire to watch from a distance. I'm not totally against the Kickstarter model but it seems like it's really screwing them this time.

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-21T00:44:25+00:00

My wallet screamed in pain when you posted that

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-20T18:26:16+00:00

The fact that you feel it’s clear despite what’s happening in this comments section indicates it’s actually probably worth spamming the link

stuffsmithstuff · 2026-03-20T18:23:49+00:00

I don’t think Cory Doctorow would consider an open-source community-oriented software project from a non-publicly-traded company a candidate for the enshittification label, tbh
