Kind of? If I’m looking at a trombone part: sure, no problem. If I’m looking at the full orchestral score: no, not really. As the music becomes more complex and involved, my ability to hear it drops off. And I only have relative pitch – if you ask me to sing it I’ll start on the wrong note but I’ll sing it correctly relative to that pitch.

It’s more like MTV than the radio, but @TIBtv@tv.theindiebeat.fm is somewhat similar

Thank you for your kind words.

I lost my grandmother overnight. Woke up to the text in the family chat this morning. She was like this for many years. I’m not sure death was an unkindness.

Who makes an annotated graph like this in the shower?

That isn’t what !moderators@lemmy.world is?

I was feeling pretty concerned until he got to the concrete examples he gave

“Such models do not develop a life of their own once they are launched. They are functions of their training data,” he said, arguing that the platform is now written from a fixed worldview he labels GASP – globalist, academic, secular, and progressive.

On Gaza, Sanger said Wikipedia’s coverage is “clearly very one-sided,” in favor of Palestinians, and backed founder Jimmy Wales’s intervention on the “Gaza genocide” article, where Wales argued the introduction should contain more of the Israeli perspective.

I don’t really understand how you came to this conclusion. Seattle is going to ranked choice voting in August 2027. As I understand it, Pierce, Thurston, San Juan and Benton counties plus Bellingham are also moving to RCV.

Is feddit.online happily spamming the fediverse more generally? Or do you mean just that it hosts this particular account which is posting spammy links?

Assuming I can read and do arithmetic (which is a big assumption), this means the US has about 21.7% of the total authorized capacity that is capable of being distributed still available in the strategic reserve.

Indiewire is trying really hard to make the answer no, but has limited success imo

But consider that of the roughly 18,450 movies that have been released in that 25-year span, 530 films is not quite 3 percent of all theatrical films, yet in that span the domestic box office has brought in roughly $245.2 billion, and those sequels have accounted for 30 percent of the overall gross. Granted, nearly all of those sequels hail from major studios, and if we only looked at studio output in that span, with no indies that drive a good chunk of the box office, the overall percentage of sequels to studio titles would likely be far greater.

Oh honey, you’re gonna have so much more fun and be so much happier as an adult than you were as a child. Don’t worry about mourning your lost teenage years, your 20s and 30s were always going to be much better for you. Go out and be gay and atheist and pursue whatever makes you feel alive.

Maria Service Announcement: you’re doing great. Don’t stress on our account.

Probably William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience. Blake hand painted the illustrations for each copy individually, so each copy is truly unique.

I’m too American for this anecdote because what do you mean you had keys to your elementary school classroom? There’s no way I would have been able to be trusted with that kind of responsibility at 7, I would’ve been like riding the trikes on the track at midnight on a weekend and painting the walls blue or something.

In hindsight, I question the wisdom of my decision to respond to this thread at 2 am my time 😅. Thanks for being nice even though my responses were borderline incoherent.

I think that’s right. I would read it as hyperbole to refer to something still alive as desiccated, for sure. If you meant it literally, I wouldn’t think of something that is even just dead but like, dried up and leathery, too – if you’re talking about a desiccated cow, I’m thinking more “beef jerky” and less “someone get the vet, and hurry.” There are more natural options elsewhere in the comments; I offered mine more as “this is the more well-known word using that root” than “this is the most natural word a native speaker would produce.”
