What an interesting pile of rubbish. Here's a simpler break down. Imagine I found 10 countries that were recently at war with their neighbors out of 200 countries Then I took a survey in those 10 countries stating that I wanted to know if they liked their neighbors and if they wanted them as neighbors anymore But, this is the internet and surely there will be some backlash so for good measure and to make things legit I now go and add 5 countries that have had trouble 10 years prior to my data so as to not look like I have an agenda All of the sudden the really high numbers start to look like real statistics because of course the median gets shifted and you've got a data-set that is advantageous to click-bait Now, I have to of course talk about places that love their neighbors but my already burned mathematical wizardy tells me to not include all the countries I already did a survey in because god-forbid I find data in those countries to contradict my earlier data so I take the colored map and pick all the non-evaluated slots What you end up with is a skewed data-set that looks sort of real so folks at a cocktail party can have one of two conversations Did you hear, we're #2 in the list of countries with the least racism. I mean I tell my maid who moved here from her country that she's a worthless bag of dirt every day but thats just me telling her to do her job surely I am not racist. We're #2? But I didn't know I was supposed to let the guys who tried to break into my house and shoot my parents just have their way and of course invite them over for biscuits the next day because that's the Christian thing to do. In the end its all circumstantial and contextual. Of course some things are black and white as night and day but to think that the report above is a clear indication of racism at its peak in the developing world is myopic at best. It's here for sure but not like what's being reported above.

A regular citizen has been data security than the government. Mind you, this is a country that specializes in data privacy for some of the biggest global corporations. What a farce.

https://voca.ro/1ojVwNnRNVqe Here's a rough push. Still needs a lot of cleanup on the treble line but it should give you an idea of why I am having a hard time transitioning.

I think that works only if you don't have a melody line sort of in your head or a mood you're after. Generally I'll play in a key and switch around it but this time it seems like no matter what I try I am not getting that smooth transition.

Been a while since I posted in here but here's the dilemma. So, I have a progression with a floating bass-line going from G->F->Bb->C and it cycles in two bars (4/4 for now). Now, my question to you both @Dr. Gonzo and @Happy Blue is that if you wanted a bridge what notes from the key of G or its aux would you use? You can do a 3 note or four note or 8 note bar if you want but I am looking to use the floating bass line in there. In essence, I'd like a root or its note complimentary notes to create a mood switch. I'll try and post something when I get a chance because honestly I am trying to push my fingers here and this little exercise is terribly taxing. P.S. If you want to skip the G and like any other key that's totally okay too I just used G because of the way I want to play this piece. Oh and before I forget its G-Maj.

I'd hate to be a person that fucked up in this lady's house.

Lets hope they all stay fit for a while now.

PC version has tons of issues. the console versions are far better or so I am reading.

Saw the Hogwarts release and I'll pass. Harry Potter was never my cup of tea. Especially when next month Capcom drops RE4:Remake.

They'll claim it was a stray celebration balloon from the Chinese New Year.

I'd wait for it on PS Plus, it's not worth the money honestly.

I had issues with Ghostwire myself but I find this is a bit better to get into. I can see how folks would get frustrated very easily with it though.

Finally got around to playing Returnal yesterday. I quite like it and I get why a lot of folks stayed away from it.

Been a while since I donated so put in a 20. Thanks for keeping things running Rab.

That guitar + bass riff. Yummy. Nice to see them cut a new album.

More like send him home.

It's a really nice story if you read the Mechner's blog post in the tweet. Crazy to imagine what it went on to do considering it flopped initially.

Lightyear stops production on €250,000 solar-powered EV | TechCrunch The irony in this is that they started with a price that automatically boxed out the segment of the population that you want solar in the hands of so you can actually see a change. Charging 250K for a device/vehicle/robot-assistant/spouse-replacement is not the way to ensure that energy consumption is controlled. I don't get why companies don't see this. Sure, make a 250K vehicle but if you make a 40K one with infrastructure options you'll get to being a billionaire faster.

I remember him too. Used to collect Star Wars memorabilia for his missus. No idea what happened to him.

Thats how it started And this is how its going. So, as a person who works in this industry sees it all. Would you really take a sick leave if you knew that they were just axing folks? This after they just did a 60+ billion acquisition and they are now investing heavily in ChatGPT for Bing. One could argue that with an AI doing all the hard work and a trainable model the need for a lot of folks in that division is really going to get watered down. Sad stuff but it was always coming. And, this is just the start.
