it doesn't produce sound on its own so I believe it needs a DAW to be usable.
I got a USB midi keyboard (pictured) from a friend but I don't know what software I should use to play it. I'm running Ubuntu with KDE Plasma and am hoping for software that's simple to setup & use. the keyboard is for simple musical tinkering.

my parents moving out of young earth creationism only to latch onto secular pseudo archeology (thanks Netflix!). this shit really pisses me off. of course they couldn't get into real science after dealing with such serious brainworms but there was a chance and I was too slow with the real books (1491).
also this stuff is very racist (usually subtext though) seems like a big part of its appeal is assuaging settler guilt
actually crackers have been here for thousands of years!

when printing I right-click the attachment, click quick print, then pray the print settings are adequate (they usually are), does this not work for you?

traveling at high fractions of the speed of light means that trip time from the travellers perspective is reduced due to relativistic effects. that said, this changes nothing about the other challeneges.

love when Stellar's Jays break out the complex vocalizations, they're so crazy.
I created an account and am signed in on element, what's a good way to get the feel for things? Any room recommendations?
What I mean by favorite here is "what I often find myself greatly admiring when I notice it's done really well" gonna go with Director of Photography (cinematographer). with emphasis on the photography. Some things I've watched recently that illustrate this role. * Saltburn, great use of vertical space with the 4:3 aspect ratio, lots of color and natural light. Summer is captured well. * Crash (1996), Lots of night scenes (always tough to get right), the setting looks appropriately dark, grimy, and mechanical. * Fight Club, also a (literally) dark film and looks great.
I need my fix, anyone got a premium feed link?
I noticed a trend in some online interview show recently where hosts ask guests to bark like a dog. I really bristle at that, it would be tough to convince me you don't want to just laugh at me. I went to Ren Faire for the first time recently, and had a hard time picking an outift to wear because I didn't want to stand out as no-fun, or as being enthusiastic but failing in execution. once I was there of course it was easy to see what an appropriate outfit is. anyone had similar experiences/thoughts? I realized that I'm averse to being intentionally silly. it feels like I've had to work hard in my life to not be *un*intentionally silly or weird (masking), so situations that ask "hey, be weird" leave me very guarded at first.
And it's never expanded on. 1 block over there are just parking lots, strip malls, single family homes. So silly. It'll be packed on nice weekends but it's iLlEgAl To bUiLd anything else like it in town. Maybe the (likely powerful) chamber of commerce sees expansion as a threat to their wallets.
watching this movie from 1995 right now, it's pretty good. Iconic, even. CW: everything.
Note: I haven't watched this yet.
the place I just moved into has a nice outdoor area and came with a (pretty busted but functional) propane grill. we're thinking of replacing it but maybe it's worth considering charcoal? ![Bwaaa](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/a6d79fb6-b7a0-4dae-b1b2-4b31d098170b.png "emoji Bwaaa")
So the computer based solution proposed by Newton and Turing is rejected because the system is chaotic, meaning a general solution will always diverge from reality. What I don't get is: this should still be good enough Run your solution every month or so, with updated measurements, and you'll have an ongoing "forecast" of conditions. I'm referencing weather because that's we do. A weather forecast is a prediction of a chaotic system, but of one which changes every day or so. Prediction difficulty is dependent on local conditions and weather type, but we can still make predictions. A gravitational system of 4 mutually interacting bodies is muuuuuch simpler than weather, and could be predicted far enough in advance to let a civilization adapt and persist!
I'm watching Frieren right now and it's quite good when it's at its best. That said, while the intro is catchy it has like 3 acts and is this really fast up-beat song, almost hyper-pop? When paired with the outro (a grand ballad that very frequently begets a jarring shift in tone at the episode's end, and beginning) it *feels* like the actual show only makes up like two thirds of the runtime.
I've been to some areas where the walking trails have recently been taken over by mountain biking* and it's really fucking annoying. *Latest Fad
It's got a great soundtrack and pretty pleasant vibes. Probably be a mage or spellsword.
I just watched it and I gotta say it was pretty ok, maybe even good. It's pacing is far more "TV" than Season 1 which feels like an 8 part film, and I was definitely bored through the middle 4 episodes, but overall I think it did have something to say that was well communicated. Definitely pretty bleak though.

These are the 2021 numbers. I have a printout of the 2022 numbers (china 546B, US 141B) but not a digital copy. [This page](https://about.bnef.com/energy-transition-investment/#toc-report) indicates that the 2023 numbers are out but I can't get access to the report. anyone got the new version of this chart?
