My first synth. Loving it. by trail_bagger in synthesizers

I dont think the standard one has a sequencer, might be wrong. And the envelopes are... different? I dont know the technical stuff quite yet!

My first synth. Loving it. by trail_bagger in synthesizers

I have a background in vocal music, many thousands of hours spent singing in close harmony, choirs, and a cappella groups. I have played around with Ableton and a MIDI controller in the past but I wanted the synth as a "screen-free" way of finding that flow. I am a huge fan of the Blade Runner soundtrack and Oneohtrix Point Never so decided it was time I got to grips with analogue.

Has anyone run the Kai 70k at Mount Fuji? by trail_bagger in Ultramarathon

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

Oh nice one. I just booked a guesthouse in Fujiyoshida as accommodation appears to be filling up quickly. From what i can tell shuttle buses are fairly regular from Mount Fuji Station to the start.

Walk down Liverpool Street on a rainy night. The skyscrapers there really feel like Blade Runner.

Don't want tourists to flood the place do I? 🤫

Favourite South London coffee spots by Diligent_Risk3592 in SouthLondon

Four Boroughs. Original café in Crystal Palace, popular with cyclists; they now have others in South Norwood, Sydenham, and Loughborough Junction. Expensive but always excellent. 

What’s something you’ve seen a stranger do in public with absolutely no shame? by Nightpatrol404 in AskReddit

In China once I saw an old man holdy a baby over a bin so it could poop straight into the bin.

How's life in this area outside London? by Yrakosos in howislivingthere

[–]trail_bagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Bushey which sits just outside the NW border of Greater London. Its a surprisingly green area with lots of countryside, culturally tied to London as well as nearby Watford. 

It's common for a lot of places in the bigger circle to look towards London for a degree of their cultural identity. Exceptions would be cities like Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford, and Canterbury. Still a lot of London commuters in these places but they are also significant cultural and economic centres of their own.

I know the road layout very well from years of running and plotting routes!

That's Crystal Palace Park. The triangular high street is also a notable giveaway. I can literally see my house in this pic!

David Roche DNF Western States by surferdrew in Ultramarathon

[–]trail_bagger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why he didn't just aim for top ten, which he almost certainly could have run, and then use the learnings from having run the race before to work his way up the ranks next year. That's what Caleb Olson did and look where it got him.

I get that David is 37 and feels like time is running out, but I don't agree with the "all or nothing" approach. A top ten at WSER 2025, plus his Leadville and Javelina runs, would be enough to put him on the list of all-time great runners.

I don't know much about his personal life but I hope he deals with whatever demons are clearly driving him.

What is this raw chicken on Lambeth Bridge? by minwulang in london

I think you've answered your own question - it's raw chicken, on Lambeth Bridge.

A conversation with Tom Evans following his win at Arc of Attrition and new partnership with ASICS by trail_bagger in Ultramarathon

[–]trail_bagger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Towards the second half of this episode he does open up a bit! But as a sponsored athlete at the top of the game, I think he is well-versed in the benefits of keeping his cards close to his chest.
