"Man who hacked a journalist to pieces with 0 consequences isn't bothered by genocide."
Well our yeehawdist gravy seals share another thing with other religious extremists.
Flags, trucks, needing to control women because they cannot otherwise get laid...
I just do it when I do laundry which is when I run out of shirts for work.
Somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks.
I am a decent metal vocalist. I have taught all kinds of people to do deep guttural growls, from children to adults male and female.
Without creating a wall of text that will only confuse you... Two words: Exasperated sigh.
Sigh like you just died on the final boss and realized you never quicksaved.
Sigh like your dad just made the most anguishingly bad pun you've ever heard. There needs to be some disgust in this sigh.
Kind of say "uhhh" and "eww" and "ugh" at the same time.
The goal is to push air hard and leave the throat muscles loose. This will make your throat flap about and distort the sound coming out.
Okay we're getting toward wall of text, but, have you ever had a cough for a long time? And your cough got nasty sounding, even after you were all better? You trained your muscles to relax, thats why it sounds different, and you did it to help push mucous out. Screaming is pretty much the same. Once you're comfortable with all this, give it a nice loud: "Ahhhhhhhhhh!" But relax your throat as you push more air/push harder. That's where the distortion comes from.
Edit: check out extreme vocal institute for more tips. That guy explains this stuff brilliantly, and he gets into very detailed specifics.
I have been predicting that Taiwan will be the flash point of World war 3 since 2022.
Headlines like this make me more sure than ever
No you're completely missing the point.
It's about how much of the volume the object can take up due to the plate spinning.
If it's perfectly centered, it only takes up its own volume. If it is off to the side it swoops around and takes up the volume that it takes up but on every quadrant of the plate as it rotates
I don't have any interest in discussing this with you any further
You're missing the point.
The issue isn't just about the physical center of the plate or the microwave itself. The key point is how microwaves heat food unevenly. Microwaves create standing waves, which result in hot and cold spots. The center of the microwave tends to be one of the cold spots, regardless of where the turntable is.
When the plate rotates, the food gets exposed to more areas where microwaves are stronger, leading to more even heating. However, if you place something directly in the center, it's less likely to move through those stronger areas, which is why the center tends to be the least optimal spot for heating evenly.
It's not about whether 99% of the pie is centered—it's about how the energy is distributed within the microwave.
What about loathing yourself for succumbing to treasonistic pressures?
Feb 29th should be election day, agree.
But the Olympics take weeks, homie.
The center is the least optimal place for even heating.
As long as you don't put it in the center, yes.
Yeah mattresses, gross. Even a couch.
But coffee tables, TV stands, bed side tables... Bed frames computer desks... So much good shit.
When I lived in a college town, the last week of May was the best time to get used furniture.
College kids everywhere abandoning all kinds of shit on the greenbelt that they had no way of bringing home.
I'm sure there is furniture in my current home that came from some stranger college kid.
Oh that's beautiful. It's actually been a pretty good week for tech considering there was a pretty bad couple of days last week.
Trump's stock is almost the lowest it's ever been. It's lower than the IPO price.
Acceptable range of answers:
"I mix mustard with mayo"
to
"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"
Bonus: what's it best on?
Legend has it, Eyedea wrote these lyrics when he was 14 years old. What the actual fuck.
This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.
To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.
If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.
Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?
I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.
Am I alone?
Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.
This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.
If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.
But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.
I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.
It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.
This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work.
This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play anything and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊
Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.
Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over.
It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see.
This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.
Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff.
I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts.
What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).
Right now if I block a user, it can disconnect my user within the app from portions of my user presence.
i.e. if I respond to a user in good faith, they respond in bad faith, I block them, and I want to revisit my good faith response in context, I am unable to do so via my profile. If the person I block is the top level comment, I am unable to view any content created within that comment tree because the top level comment is blocked.
I bring this up as Lemmy.world defederates from hexbear, and it has felt like there might be some brigading going on in relation to that.
This might be intentional, or not. Just voicing an opinion that I wish blocking a user would just make all of that users posts show as [blocked] and their username show as [blocked], with an option to temporarily display the blocked content, but still be unable to interact without physically unblocking them. If the "block" was more cosmetic and less functional, it wouldn't disconnect existing functionality (like trying to view my own posts in context).
I can only see a very small portion of my inbox when I go to "View All". The oldest reply I'm able to see is 23 hrs old. I've been receiving replies for about a month.
I can't seem to see posts that are below 0 points.
If I respond to a person, and their post gets downvoted, mine also becomes contextually unviewable.
Same seems to happen if I respond to someone and they delete their post.
Is this a connect feature? Where can I change this? I don't want posts to be hidden unless I hide it manually. I always want to be able to revisit my posts in the threads they were posted in.
From the front page/local/all, the reply button allows me to reply to the thread but shows none of the current replies. This will be a problem if we pick up steam; humans aren't that creative. The number of times people will give the same reply will be higher because of this.
Also, it is this unclear where to click to access the replies? Am I alone here? I touch slightly to the left of the reply button to access the comment sections, but it is finicky.
Touch a little higher and you get the user, or the community.
These links/buttons need to be better separated, and more clear for a better UX. It's often a lot of clicking back and forth to get where I intended to go.
I am consistently double tapping the upvote and downvote buttons because the new animation takes so long to trigger after press.
