So people often comment on my extremely straight teeth, but it's actually because I didn't see the dentist for many years, it turns out that I grind my teeth, and so now my canines are flat. My dentist said I have teeth like someone in their sixties, and now I wear a mouth guard when I sleep to prevent further degradation.

Fwiw, on my m3 + max ram, I also was recording 1080p 30-ish minute obs videos for a while running large Ableton Live project playback + a facecam, and (while I don't remember specs specifics) I didn't find it to be unstable. I don't do heavy video editing, so I'm not sure about the requirements, but for obs in 1080, it felt fine for me. I think I also exported some edited 4k footage at one point though, and I seem to remember rendering that one took a solid amount of time, so if you think you might move to 4k, pro might be more appropriate.

But I remember having specs reservations when getting my air, and I have not regretted it at all. Especially when I see my friends lug around their monster of a laptop. Those pro machines are thicc

FYI graphene does still rely on the Google updates:

This reminds me of the time when I accidentally walked to the Kawasaki Daishi Prayer Hall for Safe Driving, and attended a ceremony for.... blessing your.... car.... I stood by an empty parking space.

Oshit TIL I only spent money on my album because I'm a dumbass. If I were smart and produced it for free, I could have a whole $10 of net Spotify revenue.

This is something I definitely needed to know about

Two. Depending on the situation, maybe two shots, two coffees, two decafs, or two hours.

But definitely not after 2pm. I need to sleep later.

fwiw I don’t think 4-6 shots is too far out of the norm if not daily. Double-shots are not uncommon, and 2-3 of those on occasion seems rather reasonable. I just would hope you drink a good amount of water the rest of the day. Now if you mean that you downing 6 double-shots… are you Dan Campbell?

I'd probably agree with them 😂 . This is a cool video thanks for linking!

I mean, that very well could be so! After all, I've only lived during my timeline, so recency bias probably does make changes seem more dramatic 😂 . But I do feel like computer usage has created a pretty significant change in how music is composed and produced compared to prior technology, and a lot of those innovations are relatively recent.

[–] bpev@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (4 children)

? I mean I'm not disagreeing with you. Each of these step changes increased the usage of technology dramatically. I'm not really naming dubstep as the instigator as much as much as I'm just using that to describe the general point in time where I felt like computers became more prevalent as the defacto composition tool. I feel like this is around the time where computer music has really evolved in usage in all genres. For example, the amount of computers in new orchestral scores right now is wild. Of course it was used long before this, but there's a big difference between usage in specific genres and/or to make music stand out, and it being a part of the general palette for every genre.

I would say no.

Honestly, since directly after the dubstep craze era, there has been suuuuuuch good music, because I feel like that's when electronics became much more mainstream for ALL musicians to play with. Prior and during that time, I think a lot of electronic music was about experimenting with sounds. But during that era I think was when everyday musicians got comfortable with the soundscapes, and started incorporating all their other music knowledge and to make more varied, complex, and interesting stuff.

The problem is just finding the good music, since it can be so quick for anyone to produce and distribute it. There's just way too much.

I don't ever use a dishwasher, so I have no idea what works in those things 😂
