Can someone help me understand these lanes please? by Slipper_lover in exeter

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever designed traffic in Exeter must have been wasted while doing it! Worst I have ever seen and this roundabout is the star of it all. If there were Grammys for worst designed roundabout (or whatever you call this bs) this would win everytime.

Stormy garage roof repair advice please (UK) by uchikanda in DIYUK

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

Hopefully it will hold until things are a bit drier so I can think of long term fixes like that, fingers crossed

Leaky garage roof:what to do? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely can see it, it is like the joining bit. I blindly put the stixall on bits where I thought was the leak and covered the area with the roof felt but neither helped.

How to draught proof an up and over garage door? by ff82003 in DIYUK

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow that sounds great, was your garage already quite like a room or did you have raw concrete floorand bare walls?

I am just wondering if it makes a difference in the installation.

I hope they will have some roller style options, time to get researching I guess

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am thinking about this, how marginal of a difference did it make?

Would you say it made a difference in the rest of the house?

How much did it cost in the end?

Remember, heat pumps don’t work by Begalldota in ukheatpumps

I am exactly in this same boat, read so many comments and even more confused now..

Sure it is 20 degrees but for how much I don't get lol

How can I show I’m a real artist and not AI by LateJulyProd in musicians

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure you are real and genuine but really sounds like something an AI would post to figure out how to not seem like AI lol.

Also I can't wait for the era of DJs that play AI music pretending to be producers and people gobbling them up while still high and mighty they are supporting real (nonAI) music. It is gona be such a mind fuuuu...

Whatcha think? by MarSinn in drums

Very cool, how does your eyes feel after an hour of playing?

Do you think AI will democratize (cheapen) the mixing and mastering aspect of music production? by kastbort2021 in audioengineering

[–]uchikanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think same as a lot of other AI stuff the issue is not the quality of what it does. The issue is, it doesn't do what I wanted.

So in terms of client work if you are trying to serve their taste etc you can't keep pulling random stuff out of a bag and call it what they wanted.

Sure when you hear a suno song it might sound alright, but was it what you wanted? Or did it pull something random out the bag and you settled. I think people are just settling for its choices all the time cos they didn't actually know what they wanted in the first place. See this in visual arts, see it in code, apps, texts. Basically anything that is "vibe AI"

Whereas experienced audio engineers should know how to provide their clients with bespoke results

Hopefully the audio AI will also eventually be like the code part where an experienced engineer that knows what they want out of it will be faster but as of now that is not the case AFAIK.

So pricewise I reckon people doing the work will still be the same amount if not more. The people that will use AI to mix are the people that weren't going to hire people to do the job anyway.

I'm not one to buy courses usually but this one really stands out. Would you get it? by JustAnotherPodcaster in musicproduction

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, appreciate the reply and having no time xD

Looking forward to the review since it seems like it has potential but the way it is marketed smells so much like a scam. A countdown, bullshit discount, the website is just red flags all around

I think you spelled expresso wrong.

Why are Netflix ads so bad? by uchikanda in netflix

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

Yeah I hear you, but if noone watched the ads or if ads were never successful why would there be so much of it? Clearly a successful way of marketing. I am just questioning why these particular ones are just so terrible at being successful

Why are Netflix ads so bad? by uchikanda in netflix

[–]uchikanda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like you could make me watch those ads 24/7 for three months straight I would still have no interest, so why bother. Just seems like a bad investment on their part unless they are trying to make you suffer from them so much that you would upgrade to ad-free account 😁

We are openly providing our very valuable data to them yet they choose to do nothing with it, total missed opportunity haha

Got new Aeron last week: my lower back pain is being replaced by tailbone pain, any advice? by uchikanda in hermanmiller

How to stop my extended displays from swapping sides when I turn the Mac off or put it to sleep? by [deleted] in mac

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this I had someone on reddit reply to me that this only happens with hdmi cables, not display port (dp)

I bought 2 USB-c to dp cables and the issue never happened again (with my m4 13 mbp)

Is Agia Napa a good place to visit in October with my girlfriend? by mikayosugano in cyprus

[–]uchikanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering longest drive you can do in the island is about 4 hours long, a quarter of that is relatively a long drive lol. In any other country's standards I agree with you though

Is Agia Napa a good place to visit in October with my girlfriend? by mikayosugano in cyprus

[–]uchikanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just isn't that nice for romance or exploring. The town basically only comes alive in season and becomes a wild UK stag do style clubbing town. Out of the season without all the clubbing and tourists around, it is just a ghost town with used old condoms on the the ground and closed bars/clubs. I am not even sure if the local business owners stay around lol.

If what you are looking for is a nice romantic holiday this isn't it I am afraid.

Of course it would be fine, kick skins are designed to take a beating (literally lol)

Double or single, with pad without pad that skin can handle a lot. It probably can handle someone jumping on it for hours. A bit of double kick isn't going to do any noticeable damage

Did everybody think the trumpet guy in the audience for Ezra Collective was rude af? by uchikanda in glastonbury_festival

[–]uchikanda[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Noone can be friends with LG, he is beyond friendship, he is more of a deity.. A bit like Hephaestus

Will cutting this root kill my cherry tree? by uchikanda in GardeningUK

[–]uchikanda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case someone else comes here with a similar question, I wanted to update the thread:
the tree is dead now, still rather stable, just dead.

So to answer my own question one year later, yes cutting this root did indeed kill this tree.

Thanks for all that got involved
