Democrats panicking for no reason, pollsters say – US race nail-bitingly close in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Democrats are panicking because the race shouldn’t be this close the begin with. Republicans are confident because the only winner they’ll accept is Trump.

Clocks Set to Change in Greece, But Is Daylight Savings Time Worth It? in c/[email protected]

As someone in US Eastern Time, daylight savings needs to go. That transition for the first couple months where it’s dark by 5pm is the worse bit for me.

Wouldn’t that be an anti-trust issue, since he’s already got SpaceX?

So they’re offering 20% off the $69 price? Because 185 -> 69 is more than 20%. So then it’s just a clearance item. A shitty clearance knife.

I’m in the US and our oldest son wanted to enlist this year when he turned 18. Power to him for wanting to serve the country and help protect us, but he barely knows how to do basic adult shit. And not bc we don’t teach them, he just doesn’t get it sometimes or care enough to do things right. And he wanted to throw himself on the frontlines. We were terrified for him. Luckily he changed his mind.

Enlistment should begin at 21.

Have a link for it? Or some specific keyword I can search for? I have tons of components sitting around and a 3D printer.

Not defending Israel here in the least bit, but wouldn’t 18 year old soldiers still count as “teenage”? Just weird that they would use “teenage victims” instead of “young soldiers” or something.

Oh that’s really neat. It would be extremely helpful for situations like the hurricanes in the US these past months.

I’m really close to being ready to do the test for my HAM license. It’s been enlightening to see all the applications and components tied to it. For anyone interested, even just getting started with a simple SDR setup can get you going on learning the basics about the various bands and intricacies involved.

What DAW are you using? (lemmy.world)

I don’t think there’s a way to do a proper poll so if you don’t see your DAW mentioned in a top level comment, make the comment to the post. If it’s already listed, maybe just upvote it? That way we can get a representation of what DAWs are more among subscribers here.

I’m curious just because it’s always neat to hear what people use and how, but also to see how possible tuts or techniques can be explained in a way more people will understand. Or provide a variety of examples for various DAWs.

EDIT: Actually, I don’t know the best way to list the ones I use without making a few comments to this post. I’ll just upvote them if I see them listed.

Getting Wide and Lush Acoustic Guitars (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/musicproduction
2 comments fedilink
 

This is a simple technique that creates a beautiful spread on acoustic guitar. It requires a few things first:

  • Acoustic guitar recorded on two tracks.
    • One track with a mic capturing the neck. I like to use a small diaphragm condenser.
    • Another track with a mic capturing the body. I usually go large diaphragm condenser.
    • (or go with some other XY/stereo mic config)
  • Two aux channels with a reverb. One aux panned hard left the other panned hard right.

Usually when guitars are mic’d with two mics like this, in the mix you pan them hard left and right. Like body left, neck right.

The trick here is that for the guitar track you pan left, send a bit to the reverb aux panned right. For the track panned right, send to the left reverb aux. What happens is that the reverb will fill the opposing sides and creates a super spacious and wide sound unlike just sending both guitar tracks to one aux. You can get an even better effect if the reverbs each have a slightly different setting. That’s all dependent on the sound you’re going for though.

That’s it! I hope the explanation is not too confusing. If so please let me know so I can clarify any questions. Give it a try!

Help with newly found regalia (lemmy.world)
 

An older family member recently passed away, and in her belongings as they were being sorted through, a wooden box was found. The family had an idea that my great grandfather was a Freemason but this box confirms it. It contained regalia that most definitely belonged to him.

Our question is, what’s supposed to happen with all the items? We just want to make sure it’s handled properly if there’s some kind of protocol. It would be great if I could PM with someone about this to see what’s supposed to happen with it all.

How to reach out to university staff for consultation (lemmy.world)
 

I’m working on an indie game that deals with Space Sciences. I’m nearby a well-known university for aerospace and space sciences and could use some guidance from people that know the subject well. The university’s faculty directory helped me find potential contacts but I’m not too sure on the proper etiquette for contacting them.

Do I just contact a few of them individually to their uni emails? Do I contact their provided phone numbers? Do I reach out to the Department Head and ask for their guidance? Is payment usually expected for an initial conversation like this?
