Yeah the room is like a meta-cabinet.

Your speaker strategy has to consider listening style (sitting, working, watching, ambient, etc.) and build from there: big stereo, small nearfield, flooded or point source, placement like height angle and and close or far to wall, audio style, resonance locations, materials in and on surfaces, etc…

So two big towers or a bunch of wee little Kantos can be great or lousy depending on all that.

Or you could just buy a couple of cheap pure silver speaker cables coated with gold and everything will be great.

In that sense the room is part of the transducer itself, yes, as the speaker cabinet supports the speaker driver, so do the walls and room size. Think of them as a system.

Holy shit english has so many specific terms for dirt! It’s just jargon to urban dwellers.

HugeNerd is correct, 90+% of audio quality is in the mic and speakers. Transducers make electro acoustics real, everything else is support.

Get really great used speakers cheap and an adequate amp just good enough to drive them. Your shit will sound excellent for anyone.

Yes, and yet all the great novels are deeply political, in a philosophical sense.

So is it taste? No, I think it’s more about honesty.

To be clear, different organic certification standards exist, and some, like oregon tilth, test soil for drift from the neighbouring fields. Part of why organic food is more expensive, it’s an externality from conventional agriculture.

Yeah, obviously. So, are they in denial or do they know something we don’t?

But… not the pilots and brass, apparently, they want the power platform promise that hasn’t been demonstrated yet.

Genocide bad. But topic: French/Russian relations. Expect downvotes for trying to hijack.

We do need to improve how we use the fediverse if we are going to cover topics fruitfully.

There’s more than one genocide currently happening, and if you are North American, you are passively participating. Please post that broader discussion in its own thread, it’s how discussion fora work. I will get you started: the genocide on turtle island hasn’t fully stopped. The Uyghurs are being erased. Island nations are being dispersed. Sudan is suffering. These are all urgent and connected, as with Gaza. We all have a stake.

Wet is used as a synonym for rain in my local dialect. The endless flexibility of english is amazing. Noun that verb! Adjectivize all the words!

Just don’t put colour before size in your stack of adjectives or everyone cringes, for some reason.

I have said, many times, something like “I’ll be out in the wet if you need me”.

Then throw it in a full bathtub!!

Vancouver BC has had exposed trolley wires for many decades, no major mishaps. Sometimes drivers have to jump out and reconnect the charge arms, which puts them in the road for half a minute.

Can you point out the actual, demonstrated risks?

She is not creating the system, but is in fact reinforcing it. It is by definition undemocratic.

I am glad she’s shedding the capital, but be real, she’s never going to shed enough to come back to the realm of ordinary humans. She married an oligarch, and by being an oligarch that temporarily embarrassed billionaires such as yourself stan for, she is a shining beacon of justification for the system as it is.

I hope that once I achieve oligarch status myself, that you and I can carry on this deep conversation!

Uh, copypasta? Trolling?

She’s unelected, and dictates the disbursement of a great deal of unearned funds.

Big picture, no nuance needed: it’s feudalist to let her make these decisions.

This message paid for by The White House.

Um. I guess your intent was not clear, sure looks like you accuse OP.

You do understand that you started a shitthread by accusing OP of being a paid fascist, right? Then leaned into it. But most of your comment history is flip quips, so par I guess.

Trolling it is then, eh?

Don’t be a bonehead and drag down the discourse, Scotty there is regularly posting and commenting against the authoritarian regime in the US as well.

Lemmy has a lot of reddit-like baggage, but it’s a small community, it’s easy to recognize users and verify their history, and even tag them if you use the right reader.
