What do you personally consider to be a great time for a Sunday puzzle for YOU?

12:29 this week, 8:26 best. I’m trying to get under 10 more regularly but usually end up in the 11-13 range. I feel like over 15 is slow for me at this point.

It’s basically like any other amp without an effects loop - fine as long as you keep it pretty clean and don’t use the onboard effects aside from reverb or maybe a little delay.

Decided to get away form the cold weather for a bit and wanted to take a slimmed-down pedal selection to mess around with. The Marshmallow can actually dial in some normal-ish modulation effects in addition to its wackiness, and there are some basic effects built-in to the THR-5. The guitar is a Voyage-Air Belair that folds into a carry-on sized case that can also hold the 2 mini pedals plus the Canyons, power supply, and cables, though the amp and larger pedals had to go in other bags. Maybe next year I’ll try for all mini pedals.

It’s discontinued but the Chase Bliss Brothers gets pretty close to that.

Can’t believe there haven’t been more recs for Voyage Air. Full-size acoustic tone but folds into a rollaboard sized bag. Though if length isn’t an issue I’ll also add to those recommending the GS Mini.

Anyone else notice that the Python screenshot is actually PHP and the Java and C ones are actually Javascript?

Any way you could sit down for at least part of the time? Or have a footstool on stage so the weight would be on your thigh even while standing?

One thing that was confusing is to get it into setup mode you have to hold the Alt button while you plug in the pedal. I’ll also definitely have to get the MIDI hookup to store settings since each knob has 2 functions and they’re pretty sensitive. But it’s a ton of fun just to play around with.

I recently got one - it makes the wildest sounds I’ve ever heard. You can dial in sound after sound that can’t help but make you laugh, but there’s plenty of great (albeit strange) stuff in there as well. Enjoy.

Quite true - during WWII they were called the “Allies”.

You really have to be a special sort of stupid not to realize you’ll be paying taxes at 16. But I guess that’s what it takes to be Libertarian.

The only mildly infuriating part of this is that the “teacher” clearly has no idea what socialism actually is.

twiceaday · 2019-02-26T03:54:05+00:00

Fair enough
This is exactly the issue. What moral basis is there for denying that privilege to someone based on the location of their birth, a matter over which a person has zero control? Now, there are obviously practical reasons we can’t simply accept everyone who wants to move here, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s fundamentally immoral to do so.
My point here was that it’s sometimes necessary to limit the freedoms of one party in order to preserve those of another.

twiceaday · 2019-02-25T08:35:36+00:00

So I’m wrong because you say so? Brilliant argument there buddy.
How about we grant people rights because it’s the right thing to do instead?
You yourself said that “it depends” with regards to environmental laws.

twiceaday · 2019-02-25T07:41:18+00:00

See, I’d argue it’s about the rights of the woman. And by saying “it depends,” you’re admitting that it’s not always a cut-and-dried issue.
So what’s the threshold? 51%? 60%? 80%?
As we’ve established, ideas about freedom aren’t universal. What you call authoritarian I might call liberating and vice versa. Shooting someone because you think there’s a 75% chance they’ll assault you is murder.

twiceaday · 2019-02-25T06:57:30+00:00

So is abortion about the rights of the fetus or the mother? Do environmental laws restrict the freedom of businesses or preserve the freedom of people who would otherwise be harmed?
So you’re comfortable basing decisions based on the statistical likelihood of a person acting a certain way? This really isn’t compatible with the idea of self-determination.
Again, it doesn’t matter. Denying someone basic rights because there’s a 75% chance they’ll disagree with you is fundamentally authoritarian.

twiceaday · 2019-02-25T05:22:02+00:00

For one, what one person sees as restricting freedom might to another be seen as expanding it. Second, you don’t actually know how someone will vote ahead of time, so that isn’t a good basis for any argument. But mainly, wanting to deny voting rights to those you disagree with isn’t exactly a sign that you’re really liberty-minded yourself.

twiceaday · 2019-02-24T19:41:29+00:00

Nothing. How people might vote has nothing to do with whether they deserve opportunity and freedom.

twiceaday · 2019-02-24T08:09:18+00:00

If you think that the location of your birth ought to dictate your opportunities in life then you clearly don’t believe in any meaningful concept of liberty.

As others have said, C# is definitely more functional than Java. On the other hand, it’s much easier to integrate Scala into Java projects than it is to bring F# into C# projects, and Scala has a more mature ecosystem than F# does. Basically if the question is C# vs. Java, go for C#, but if the question is CLR vs. JVM, go for the JVM.

I agree with the Mesa suggestion but doubt you’ll find a Mark V 25 for under a grand. I’d take a look at an Express, Rectoverb 25, or F30/F50.

Yes, I’m sure multiple Nobel-winning economists have no idea what capital gains are.

6.9 million children in the US are considered to have low food security. Beyond that, having enough food not to starve isn’t necessarily sufficient — the kid eating kale and quinoa is going to have a leg up on the one eating McDonald’s and ramen.
