That the supposedly smart ppl here get their knickers in a twist over this theatre piece is telling.

Literally no proof of this working in real world conditions.

I call bull.

Anyone else think Covid exacerbated this problem?

Should I have written nazi-occupied France?

The one my dad has isn't polished and perfected in renovation, he uses it as his summer car and its got great patina. No exhibition car. He's around 80 now so he had it for 60 years. He took it apart and reassembled it completely at some point. Also drove it from mid Sweden to Italy and back with my mom.

It feels like going 200 kmh when you push it to 80 :)

It was also the ultimate gangster car for European film makers.

The Vichy-french cops use it in Joseph Losey's movie Mr. Klein, there are lots of them on screen at some point. Great film!

Off topic but "hack until the cows come home" put a smile on my face.

My dad has a Citroen B11 from -54 that he bought when he was young at the end of the sixties and has kept alive since. The design is from the thirties and revolutionized suspension at the time, winning races. Citroen has always been at the forefront of suspension development.

From my limited perusal of X through nitter instances it seems literally littered with right wing nutcases and cranks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are there any normal ppl on x?

Completely agree, feel the same about facebook et al too.

There are a lot of public institutions using twitter for their communications.

100%

Move fast and break other people.

I think this is really something considering the whole ”social media is not responsible for what ppl post” thing

Or it is the same crap just w spyware? My stainless Bialetti was invented about a hundred years ago and cost less than 50€.

The original 303 & 606 are pretty crappy plastic machines. The 606 didn’t explode in value in the same way.

Roland, Korg & Yamaha had the ball in their court for years. Uli saw an opportunity and took it.

Korg has also been re-releasing old designs, notably the ARP 2600 & Odyssey.

When I built my xoxbox the demand for 303s was insanely high and Roland could have done what behringer did.

This exorbitant price is actually for your own good!

Yeah when I started out dreaming of machines I had to build my own 303 clone…

All other things aside, 20 dollars for a can of beer!?

Was playing it over midi w my Push 2 and it was 6 semitones too high?

Korea & Afghanistan too.

The consequences of the Iraq blunder are also still resonating.

This is off topic now but yeah the world would have been a different place if someone had listened to the demands of Ho Chi Minh earlier.. and Hammarskjöld had not been crashed

Anyone involved in burning that much energy at the same time as a large part of the planet will cook soon due to energy expenditure is definitely not helping humanity. It’s marketing & empire building all the way down..

They really show their hand in this one no?

I guess legit proof of agi would be unionizing

A friend told me that a Dutch university ordered a custom gamelan tuned chromatically. It was a total failure and sounds terrible. The gamelan are made one by one w the oldest member of the group making his first and everyone tuning theirs from his down in turn, IIRC.

My 87 year old grandma drives her Suzuki Alto from 2000 to her cottage on a hill in the forest. It's a log cabin, 200+ years old. No running water, no electricity except a gas driven generator that powers a pump, and sometimes power tools. There is a lake down the hill for washing oneself and candlelight. Since a few years there is a gas powered tiny fridge, before we only had a cool concrete food storage basement. Now the sandwiches taste normal, storing butter in summer would give a light sourness to them. My grandmothers ex boyfriend installed a solar panel, just enough to charge phones.

Being there for a longer time and coming back to normal life makes you really see what is necessary and not. Also how much work life was in the olden times.

Hacking it is even harder

I guess he never heard that the first reaction to combat is to soil oneself. In the Scandinavian military service I did they taught us to go to the toilet as a readiness maneuver.

Probably a similar ecological footprint to Bitcoin too...
