I certainly helps to be a lunatic to begin with.

Hamatsu was challenged to stay alone, unclothed, in an apartment for Susunu! Denpa Shōnen, a Japanese reality-television show on Nippon Television, after winning a lottery for a "showbusiness-related job". Hamatsu was challenged to enter mail-in sweepstakes until he won ¥1 million (about $8,000) in total. Hamatsu started with nothing (including no clothes), was cut off from outside communication and broadcasting, and had nothing to keep him company except the magazines he combed through for sweepstakes entry forms. After spending 335 days to reach the target, Hamatsu set the Guinness world record for the "longest time survived on competition winnings".

I like vinyl, so I can listen to half an album, take a break, then listen to the other side.

I have never even read those names before, and I think this illustrates the issue.

Protest songs used to reach world wide top charts because that's what people bought. This was ruined by commercialization, so that charts now only show what labels want to sell. People who actually choose what music to consume will scatter out into online bubbles that are completely detached from the mainstream and public view.

This makes it almost impossible to reach as big an audience as done by RATM and others did in previous decades.

Perhaps young people ought to do protest TikToks instead of protest songs.

Budgettet er det dobbelte, fordi Carlsberg bidrager med samme beløb som staten.

Iflg. CVR registeret er der 49 ansatte (40 årsværk) De laver dog også andet end bare hjemmesiden.

Anyway, 8 mio. er håndører i en finanslov. Det må nærmest være en forglemmelse at de ikke er med.

It's worth reading, because it's very factual, as in, they don't inject any particular viewpoint or opinion into the writing, unlike some other outlets. Whether or not they chose to report on certain events over others due to bias, I do not know.

I remember them being wrong one time point though, because they reported on something chaotic that had just happened or was still happening where details were unclear.

BIG JACKET CONSPIRACY STRIKES AGAIN

So, I memorized all the binary digits in the waveform of a Metallica song and wrote it down from memory.

Unfortunately I've got a bad memory so I had to do them one digit at a time, but technically I didn't copy anything, I only wrote down my own memories, right? Also, my handwriting is worse than my doctor's so I chose to write it on a computer.

The funniest thing happened when I accidentally opened this text file in Winamp. It almost sounded like music, except that the drums were played like shit.

Reaper is great once you get to know it. It does everything you need and more for recording and editing audio and midi (and some video).

For Linux specifically... It's identical to the other versions, so you can download it to your current OS and try it out, if that's what's keeping you from switching to Linux. You don't even need to install it.

Plugins is a different issue for Linux. Some people use Vine or such to use certain VSTis. Personally I'm on a mission to avoid that, so I only use free plugins native to Linux, and honestly, there's not many. The stock plugins works fine, but they don't have any fancy GUIs or particularly great default settings.

A word of caution: Reaper is very customisable. I would recommend reading at least parts of the manual to ensure that you understand how it's "supposed" to be work before starting on some large project and trying to fit the square block into the round hole. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I've seen lots of support posts where people describe their projects and even the helping replies are needlessly convoluted. If you know your way around a real mixer desk, you'll find that every combination of sends, auxs and busses are possible in Reaper, so there's really no need to stack up hundreds of tracks and effects and whatnot to achieve basic stuff. Just like every DAW it's easy to get lost in the routings, so it makes sense to get a well structured flow from the start. Especially because it's soo customizable.

Reaper is very stable, which is nice for live performance. I have only had crashes from dodgy plugins in Windows.

Unrelated to Reaper, my experience is that Linux works better than Windows when you have many USB midi controllers. Both Puppy and Mint recognized my ancient hardware straight out of the installation, no matter which port I use (unlike Windows).

Ålen er måske ikke den mest danske fisk. De yngler slet ikke i Danmark.

Vi æder dem bare når de er svømmet herhen.
