my old company wanted to investigate reddit advertising

the smallest campaign started at $10k USD

yeah I only know it from Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, but doesn’t fit the context

actually I think I just watched an old West Wing episode about this recently. I beleive there is a rule about when and where you can carry plaquards, signs and posters, so he likely had to be removed by the rules but was doing it deliberately.

Not a criticism of the method, just explanatory.

I wouldn’t mind if they write off my mortgage.

check out New Threat which remixes the game, or the Archeology Mod which restores cut content and the original intent of the translators - including lines that were wrong in the original and then fixed in remake (it has a setting specifically keep “This guy are sick” if you were worried).

in Europe people are vehemently against you driving after any amount of alcohol at all. even a half pint of 3% beer.

holy shit I used this exact method this week at work to extract a paid-for database for free.

12 keys (A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#) major and minor. 36 if you count melodic minor and harmonic minor separately.

really you should pick an instrument that you are excited about and we can’t know that.

I loved playing piano as a kid, and when I became a teen I wanted to play bass, then in my 20s I wanted to learn clarinet so I’d have a well-rounded experience with different instruments.

The best way to learn is classes, the best way to practice is scales. Anyone who has the fortitude to play the 24 scales every day and maybe a few modes before an hour of practice will become better than most people, faster.

Being able to see I-V-vi-IV in F and being able to instinctively play it only comes from hours of drilling scales.

when Im in a music-heavy space, I have some music dice that I roll and make it into a chord progression and play that. I also try and memorize a new song a week til I can play it without looking at the music and without a backing track (but, crucially, with a click track or metronome)

real answer: they are maintained by an agency that replaces damaged ones. although people have refused stars no one has had one removed.

people who earn 200k/yr still have to work to live. ~15k a month net is a lot but if you have kids, pets, a mortgage, medical bills, student loans, car, phone etc and you trying to eat too, you can’t suddenly say “phew! I’ve had enough work for the next 40 years, time to live on 4k a year - easy!”

Would you level that criticism at a welder, at a longshoreman, at a truck driver? they can earn 6 fig salaries too

I used to co-edit an indie magazine in the 00s using Scribus.

whenever we accidentally misclicked and it showed the error message “the program GIMP is missing!” the rule was you had to stand up and read the error message out loud

I think it’s just this meme you’re remembering

my cat looks like this before she goes “wmwwwrrrmwrrrrraaaaawwwnnnmm” and skitters away

oh I see. ok well powertoys one is prettier

I believe you have to install power toys and enable it. i have it to ctrl+win+f

I dont need the scientific method not to stick my hand in fire.

And I’ve used AI. Its shit. It don’t work. It makes pure nonsense.

in terms of a global collapse at best it gets you an extra year of semi-starving

someone wrote RTMF instead of RTFM? </poortaste>

yes but DNS is terrestrial, so you could just ban the web portals and apps on earth.

Yes you could VPN to a non-compliant country, but you can already do that without a spater spenter
