I know they're kind of a fad, but I genuinely love my Owala. The built in straw means an extra couple things to clean, but it does a pretty good job keeping things insulated and I've never had it leak.

Came here to say the same thing. MAGATs are completely unable to think more than 30 minutes into the future.

If you're talking about the rumbly reverby sound, that's gonna be incredibly tough. The synth and drums are so simple that I'd bet it would me significantly easier to just recreate the parts you want. A little string sample (with a smidge of saw synth added in) and some basic drums is about all you'd need.

You could try using a high Q notch filter (or 8) to reject the louder frequencies of the sound. The sound is pretty spectral though, so you'll probably need a lot of notches. It'll probably end up altering the sound of the instruments pretty heavily. Some really specific multiband compression could also help, but will likely make the reverb more noticable.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Ya know, I've spent a lot of time on the internet. Not much can surprise me at this point. Brillo pad-ing a penis chemical burn was a surprise though. I wonder if it was permanently camo.

To me, it seems like a possible manifestation of the sunk cost fallacy. I've personally seen it in IT security audits and policy rollouts. As you try to make a domain more secure via more aggressive group policy rules, more authoritarian approaches become more acceptable than when you started. Part of it is a sunk cost of "well, if we don't take this more aggressive stance, all of our previous work could be undone." mixed with a sentiment of "We are already blocking users from accessing x service, why not also block y service". Blocking y service would have been unpopular before service x was blocked, but now there's something more acceptable that you can point at as justification. This process just repeats further and further until you're essentially blocking everything and selectively allowing services.

I'm sure I've noticed it elsewhere, but that's one example that I have encountered quite a few times.

Huh, I'd noticed the ratchet effect before in a few different subjects, but I hadn't heard of it specifically. I think you hit the nail on the head, thanks for helping me learn something today.

Is this not just an illustration of the concept of the Overton Window?

Is this a revelation? It's stephen miller. Everything he does is with the intention of either consolidating power or to get lefties killed.

They hold water for high level pedophiles and are a major contributor to the US's current nosedive into fascism. This isn't anything out of the ordinary for fox.

What if we just stopped enabling shitty private health insurance companies? Dumb.

For real? We're so fucked.

Wow, 60% of Americans are blind or illiterate. Rough.
