Re: Modern democracy (was: COVID-19 freakout thread)
Wow, TIL the Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order and it took ~3 years from then till the 13th Amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation Exactly. If you're against executive orders, then you're a racist! :P I think the important thing to realize is that Trump ha...

The Nur Ein database is contest-neutral and can accommodate all sorts of contests. I just never got to it, but it is a possibility if it's something people want. I was going to try it with the Circle of Songs a few years ago...

Apparently this visual analogy helped someone. Maybe it will strike a chord with someone else.

Re: Open vs closed back headphones survey
Good grief, for how long it took you, you probably could have bought 5 different pairs by now. :p
I am curious how your experience will compare to RTINGS empirical data.

Re: Modern democracy (was: COVID-19 freakout thread)
I just listened to a podcast that lays out the history and posits some interesting theories and observations. It might be exactly what you want, Caravan Ray.

Re: Nur Ein XV Round Six "Homestretch"
If you have any suggestions for how exactly to fix the guitars that sound underwater or pointy depending on which headphones you're on, I'll gladly take them. In retrospect, my first listen was probably on my laptop. The headphones I use to mix are yet a different data point - guitar's less pointy,...

Re: Nur Ein XV Final Round "Pistols At Dawn"
Instead of editing the last New Ugly episode, I decided to bring my D game.
I had fun trying stuff, but I clearly have a lot of criticism for my own song here. Also it's probably "not in this moment"ed even though it's about how people dueled 200 years ago.

“Bring your A game” is a tough challenge, IMO, because it leaves no direction if you aren’t inspired by the title. RIP Nur Ein XI.

You should check out Manhattan Glutton's Byron Bay.

I’m prob out of my element, but wouldn’t mass-loading the wall help? For example, mass-loaded vinyl. Can’t vibrate if it can’t move.

This is like a Usenet thread from 1996 See, Caravan Ray, nothing changes! It just takes 25 years to make it to Australia.

We don't blame a loss on the "quarterback" or the "pitcher". We play proper team games like cricket. That is your problem. You don't play cricket. And your need to have a "President" to personify success or failure - seems to relate to why USA people like games like Am...

No - not really. Here - the ultimate authority is "the Crown" - personified by the Governor-General. It is a vague wishy-washy idea that has no real meaning. Yes, and our ultimate authority is the Constitution, which is a very tangible idea that has loads of meaning. Again, our troops and...

So why do you need him? What job does he do? Why does your Constitution give power to one person - when that person could be an idiot? Giving power to one person is a very 18th century idea.
