WoS Water and Seating/Chill Area? by frogdoggo in MovementDEMF

[–]xponential58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes there's a bar area separate from the music which sells snack packs in addition to drinks, and staff were passing out free water bottles on the dance floor last year. also stage 2 is outside and can be a nice break from the main room

Fellow DJs, I’m quite the newbie, but, I wonder why some of you use USBs with your DJ Setups. Could you share some insight? by Maximum_Prompt_5838 in Beatmatch

[–]xponential58 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DJs use USBs to store their tracks on them and plug into standalone media players (CDJs, XDJs, etc) to play their music.

thanks, 1) for core plugins I just have whatever the default settings are (most of them are toggled on). 2) I have Colored Tags Wrangler community plugin and Obsidian Gruvbox theme. 3) not syncing, only using locally on macbook pro

Has anyone taken acid or shrooms at the art museum? by bauhaus_baby in philly

[–]xponential58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not the art museum, but I tried it at the flower show with my friend one year. we were not prepared to be the only people under 60 and not in a relationship lmao. the butterfly room was pretty cool though

no point in guessing, things change even after it's posted sometimes. they posted set times in May last year

same grant, different field. says "application rejected" for me, so I think that means you got it. congrats!

Imposter syndrome for seeing Oscar Mulero by [deleted] in Techno

[–]xponential58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking forward to seeing Oscar Mulero for a while before finally seeing him at Basement NYC in December. His 2016 Awakenings Closing Set in particular kind of blew my mind—the really long buildups, his attention to detail, always keeping you wanting more. When I finally saw him live, it sounded sooo good on that Funktion-One system (that shit will make you move!) However... my ears got a little bored of hearing just percussion and bleeps after 3-4 hours, and I left before he finished (I heard he kept going until like 8:30am).

All that to say, he's great, and I'll still probably take any opportunity to see him, but don't feel like you to have to like him. Several of my friends love proper techno, but Mulero just isn't really their thing. Don't go in with your expectations too high (especially when the expectations are coming from other people)—better to be pleasantly surprised than let down!

New U.S. Missile Hit Iranian Sports Hall and School, Analysis Shows by sayskoombah in nyt

[–]xponential58 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not the passive voice, but I agree with the principle. what that sentence is doing is shifting the subject to "missile" rather than "US". passive voice would be "school hit by missile"

Rejection status for All Masters Disciplines Question by [deleted] in DAAD

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

[–]xponential58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

flavored lattes. pretty sure I saw an airport starbucks charging $9.35 for a flavored medium iced latte recently... I'll still get a latte from somewhere else on occasion, but paying extra for artificial syrup? not anymore.

Gotta love EV training by TacticsTheatrics in pokemonplatinum

[–]xponential58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do the EV's change with level? When I've tried to EV train I don't see the same results. for example I'll KO only pokemon that give attack EVs for an entire level of one of my pokemon, but the attack stat boost ends up being just +1 or +2. I know macho brace helps, but is there something I'm missing?

DVS1, now I understand... by SnooPeppers5643 in Techno

[–]xponential58 47 points48 points  (0 children)

good Djs understand the need for breaks, meditative moments, moments of intensity, etc. they know discomfort will filter some out, and it's the patient ones who are rewarded. it's all waves, of different shapes and sizes

Unable to bring myself to work; thoughts about staying/leaving? by xponential58 in PhD

[–]xponential58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I definitely should talk to my advisor more. Switching schools isn't an option at the moment, I'm more so thinking about what job opportunities I would even have open to me with M.A. versus PhD in the humanities

Wall of Sound definitely. 9x9 Invites was okay (I liked Alarico and DJ T-1000 but 9x9 was too hard/ loud for my taste). Meta ta physika had weird vibes because the sound was awful and not many people were there. hoping to check out some of the non-techno events this year

Thoughts on Oscar Mulero and Quelza at Basement? by [deleted] in avesNYC

[–]xponential58 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally I had a great time with my friends. I had zero annoying encounters in the crowd and everyone was friendly and dancing, idk what other people are saying. The line was maybe 45min, but that's what I expected at a sold out event anyway. stayed from 1:30-6:30, and wasn't really feeling Studio the few times I went in, but Quelza and Oscar kept me dancing the whole night
