OH YARN I don’t have my glasses and I couldn’t work out how someone was knitting with a yam

Hard agree, unsubscribed from real engineering the moment I realised they made ads without ever declaring it. It’s literally just propaganda at this point

Are you using web or an app? If it’s an app then I guess it just depends what you’re using?

Come on, you can’t just leave those dummy indices dangling, at least sum over them with a kronecker delta or the minkowski metric if this is some approximation of curved space.

(2) Appears to have a typo, but it could just be that the sqrt symbol won’t extend further, which isn’t good either lol

It was a limited run last year, not sure if they’ll ever do them again unfortunately but they are very pretty.

I’ve got a rather large collection tbh, my wired setup consists of a FiiO USB DAC (I can’t remember which model) and a pair of Sennheiser HD600s. I’ve also got the absolute dirtiest Skullcandy buds, cheap as chips and so noisy lol but they’re good enough when I’m cycling.

For wireless, I’ve either got my Sennheiser PXC550 IIs or the Crushers (rainbow pride version duh), but occasionally I’ll just use a set of shokz bone conduction buds if I’m going to be out with people and want some background music.

There’s plenty of others I don’t use very often, for one reason or another.

I do this with my CDs, my ritual is mostly about setting up the ambience in the room though.

I’d love to have the space for a record player, but for now my vinyls are decoration.

I have a reasonably expensive audiophile set up (nothing fancy by true audiophile standards mind you) but I still basically just listen to all my music through a pair of Skullcandy Crushers lol

It’s $500 (AUD) in a tiny Australian town in the mountains if you do

Hibike! Euphonium for anyone interested

My parrot will grab the top of his own head sometimes

Hell yes! Always good to see more people working in this space!

Haha it was nothing like that, they just sort of came out of nowhere. My city is normally pretty safe, I’ve literally never had another encounter like that in my life.

I’m a vegan, and fuck those people.

I’ve got a medical condition that meant I had to take it fairly slowly just it be sure my body wasn’t going to literally fall apart when I went vegan, luckily I’m doing well (in a few ways I’m actually much better off now, though I’m still scared of falling apart). Medical conditions are valid as hell for not going vegan, I wasn’t aware of how an eating disorder could prevent it but I’ve read a fair bit online now, so thankyou for sharing.

One of the scariest moments of my life was when my friends and I were publically assaulted by a pair of very large vegan men who didn’t like that we weren’t vegan. I was vego at the time but sure as hell wasn’t going to tell them, people who act like that are an absolute disgrace and make me ashamed to be vegan. Veganism to me comes from a deep sense of empathy, if you can’t feel empathy for other people then you’re not a vegan as far as I’m concerned.

I think carnist is a useful word that a lot of people get caught up on. As you say it’s not a pejorative, just a word that describes someone who chooses to eat meat as opposed to carnivore which is a creature that can only eat meat. All humans are omnivores, but not all are carnists.

Anarchy also says you have the right of free association, so yes that is allowed. The point is that you shouldn’t force people to be part of it, that they can leave at any time and that your freedom to live how you want shouldn’t come at the cost of the freedom of others.

The notes on the strings are the same as the lowest four on a guitar, but upside down/in the opposite order

Working my way towards folk punk, and a bit of regular folk here and there

Sure does, I basically don’t bother with the other modes because the meow is so damn good

Thankyou! I adore it, it’s probably my most beautiful instrument, though to be fair my keyboard is really giving it a run for it’s money
