I’ve never seen an 8k TV but ignorance is bliss as I’m still rocking 1080 and happy. I do see the difference at 4k when at friends houses but 1080 still looks good in my living room.

Ya know what, could it really be any worse than just letting AI create a scheduler? I’m on board for using it. No more Deadline or Fair Queuing for this guy!

West coast US…it’s only just beginning.

I miced up a drummer for home recording using cheap Fender conference mics that came with the fender PA. It’s all she had. It technically worked but I ended up having to overlay the kick and snare with samples in the DAW to make it sound decent. I’m the sound and recording guy for a few local bands as I’m their only free option (I’m in them). One of these days I swear we are going to have something worth “real” recording and use a studio. Until then, I improve slightly every time I work through these things.

I’m not particularly good at micing up cabinets but with the 57, my guitar tone sounds good no matter how bad my placement seems to be (slightly off center damn near touching grill). I tried so many ways to get bass decent on it but the 52 just worked without effort. I’m sure an expert could probably get the 52 to sound decent/good but for the rest of us, just use a 52. Don’t have a 58 so can’t comment on that but I doubt any Shure mics are bad.

All of those yes but not the kick and bass mic. Had to buy a beta 52 for those.

Like really what are they gonna do, start invading the Bayer company? They dropping bombs on Walgreens?

I just can’t wait to read about the creative ways in which they screw up the name next. “Netflix presents Max HBO Cinemas”.

The only way he could effectively run it into the ground was to attach his name on it.

The 2007-2011 Australian TV drama Sea Patrol.

Yeah those are the foundational services like EC2 powers DynamoDB and everything runs on Route53 which is powered by EC2. Containers on ECS and EKS are just EC2 instances.

That was amazing! I cheered out loud when I saw them give up!!!

Meet height requirements twice a year as well? I wasn’t even aware the military even had height requirements, are folk shrinking or something?

Can you imagine the screams of, “COMMUNISM!!!” If Obama or Biden had done this. It’s all we would hear about for an entire election cycle. Fox “News” would play it nonstop.

So it’s like we are entering the Dark Ages for Information. Maybe Dark Information Age or something. There is an insane amount of information available but we are moving to a society in which there is no way to ensure information validity for the average person. Deep fakes are getting way too good. It won’t be long before we have no way to determine validity. Video evidence is now suspect and so is audio. We need some sort of golden record which only reflects accurate information. Like news orgs used to be viewed before infotainment like Fox “News” really started taking off.

Countries really need to warn their citizens about travel to the US.

If I had to guess, the approach by corporate would be (if forced to give a 4 day work week) to drop hours to just below what is required for benefits. So, they would only agree if it meant they could get out of paying for healthcare and whatnot while at the same time having more authority for non compete agreements. I would absolutely trust whatever plan Bernie comes up with but I think there are very few additional politicians that have our best interests at heart.

It feels like the Vikings are always getting away with this stuff. I mean I can’t recall the last time I read a report where a Vikings was apprehended and/or charged with a crime. I doubt that this Spice Girl incident will be any different :-(

“We’re not a bunch of little bitches around here. I’m a member of Congress that represent almost 800,000 Wisconsinites. Is that clear?”

Did he really say that? That statement just made me do a double take. Like that’s the level of red congress right now.

So the modern approach to healthcare is back to leeches and blood letting huh. Did not have that on my 2025 bingo card but in retrospect I really should have.
