  • The flavor of current also plays a big role too. Car batteries are Direct Current, whereas your 200v outlet was likely Alternating Current. Essentially, even 200v of DC wouldn’t have been as “painful” as the AC you experienced although I’m not playing with either. Part of the danger is the way the alternating current has a tendency to contract your muscles, keeping you in contact with whatever the source is. DC tends just spark, bang, shove you away.







  • A band is 3-5 ish people just vibing and making it up together. When you get into a studio, now you have at least one engineer in the group. If a record label is involved, you have their representative as well as all their money. So it’s a lot of chefs in the kitchen when it comes to making an actual recording.

    The biggest influence outside of the band though is usually the engineer. As an outsider with a vested interest in making the song as good as it can be, they often have really great insight into changes that can make the song even better.

    Finally, when you’re playing live even with a click track in your ear, you’re going to want to rush. And that’s ok, it’s fun to play fast. You may not even notice it. And then you go into the booth to record and you end up laying out what you had in your head from the start.





  • On the one hand yes. But, and this is a big but, typically when ships are sunk by the government, a lot of environmental impact studies and decontamination processes are preformed. The goal is usually to create artificial reefs, which is pretty useful because of how much damage we’ve done to the natural habitats.

    Does it balance out, or make up for it? I don’t know, I’m not smart enough. But I do know the artificial reef projects are greatly appreciated and highly desired by local governments.

    I’m not defending webp over png. All of my sites serve both depending on what the browser indicates it supports. It’s zero effort.

    Implying that because people with unmetered internet are live-streaming, people on data caps don’t matter is asinine.

    Nobody is saying you need to use webp locally. But when you’re talking about the entire fucking world on the internet sharing images, even minuscule savings scales to something appreciative.

    Another aspect to consider is, not everyone is privileged with unmetered internet access. Shoving bloated media into peoples’ faces is actively costing real people real money. If you’re operating even a modestly popular site, I feel like you have a moral obligation to ensure it’s as inexpensive to browse as possible.
