LMFAO HE FUCKING DID IT HE MADE THE BLOCK FEATURE EFFECTIVELY USELESS HOLY SHIT
  • Yeah, I don't get it either, everybody seems to think that this change makes it impossible to hide posts from blocked users. But this just gets rid of the weird quirk where if you called JK Rowling a terfy ghoul and she blocked you, you had to log out to hate-watch her shitty tweets.

    Joke's on them, I never had an account in the first place.

  • Dozens of Hezbollah members reportedly hurt by exploding pagers
  • Even those tend to end up more like giant volcanoes of fire, than actual percussive explosions as seen in some of the videos. Making those deliberately catch fire is also harder than you'd think. These pagers went off pretty much all simultaneously. I think the overall consensus is that they were very likely rigged with actual explosives.

  • I should read an essay about Conductors
  • A conductor performs a number of essential functions for an orchestra:

    • Offering a pulse. You may think this is trivial if your experience with music is through rock bands and smaller ensembles, where the musicians can just listen to eachother. But keep in mind that a large orchestra takes up a lot of space, to the point where the speed of sound becomes a major barrier. A symphony orchestra easily spans an area of more than 30 meters, meaning people on the left hear what people on the right play 0.1s late. The 'beat' shown by the conductor arrives with the speed of light, keeping the musicians more together.
    • Setting the tempo. Orchestral music tends to have more deliberate tempo changes and fermatas (points where a note is held longer than the implied beat would require).
    • Controlling the dynamics and timbre that people play with. A lot of that tends to get ironed down during rehearsals, and sometimes it will be explicitly mentioned in the score, but it can be really helpful for players to reminded that, hey, perform this bit light and playful, and over here, be loud and solid. Especially in longer pieces.
    • Cueing players when they have to start playing. In orchestral music, some instrument groups may have large swaths of time where they don't have to play anything (especially percussionists).

    Generally the conductor is also responsible for the interpretation of the music. Orchestral scores don't tend to be black&white, and there are a lot of decisions to be made in how to approach a piece. The conductor is the one who makes those decisions.

  • Keys for coin operated laundry?
  • I'm assuming you own these machines and are forced to pick them open because you lost the key

    That definitely would be my assumption. Otherwise it would be stealing from the land-lord, hoo boy, we wouldn't want that would we?

  • They are jumping the shark man
  • The problem with the anti-SJW grift was always that there were like 5 videos of 3 different activists that kept going through re-runs, at the end of the line there wasn't enough fuel for the fire of outrage that it fed upon.

  • “People with motor disabilities are not allowed to to have fun”
  • Our goal involves creating a compelling progression path for all of our players. There's a lot of content at launch with even more coming via live service, and we'll continuously adjust our progression mechanics to give players a sense of accomplishment as they explore all of Battlefront 2

  • "It's a race to the bottom — literally the bottom."
  • Being able to swim when stationed on a ship sounds way more useful than it actually is. In a 'man overboard' situation, it doesn't help you much, you get fucked by the inertia of a massive ship that can't just turn around and pick you up. By the time they manage to turn around the ship, the real problem is actually finding you. Even if you're an excellent swimmer, your chances of survival are very low.
