Check out the bass in ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’, dirty as a hobo. Also features the best rendition of ‘My Sharona’, and the brilliant original ‘Diamond Dolls’.

This post kinda continues the theme from yesterday.

Haven't played ‘Max Payne’ in twenty years, completely forgot what it looks like in-game, and still the first thought from the screenshot was “Max Payne”.

To add to other answers, the result for the ‘all’ feed is likely to be cached, either explicitly by the server app or implicitly by the database. Personal feeds are less likely to be cached, since they're only used by individual users.

Strictly speaking, the db might be looking in an index to choose rows by the communities — but using such a condition is pretty much guaranteed to be slower than not using it, anyway.

The actual answer depends on the actual database organization, of course. Ideally the whole database should be organized around frequent queries.

Took them long enough, it seems. Apparently lack of traffic controllers wasn't preventing flights last week.

Least it keeps away from politics

You continue making it difficult to believe that you actually saw ‘Babylon 5’.

It's just a rando account who recreates the manner in which Newsom's office tweets.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

It's not Newsom's press office.

Wait until yall hear about cat brushes.

Have you walked around the whole day in tight jeans, with your legs sweating up a swamp? Do your legs itch like mad upon you taking off the jeans? Introducing the cat brush, the premier method to scratch the fuck out of that itch, leading to heavenly satisfaction. Doubles as an exfoliant!

Imgur users on ‘new’ once ran an experiment for a day where they upvoted basically anything — in practice, oddest and weirdest stuff bubbled up. I've never seen such entertaining feed before or after.

From the description:

Even though these Belgian records sound very "now", they are actually 20 years old and were meant to be played at a much, much faster speed. At the time this was the devil's music for us, but we have learned to listen through the claps and distorted kicks and discovered that if you slow these really dark and heavy techno records down all the way to about 115 bpm, it suddenly makes them sound less frantic, ballsier and a lot sexier. Belgium at its best when pitched down.

This is apparently how Belgian new-beat started from techno records, although it was in the eighties, before the time of gabber — so this video is anachronistic and is more of an experiment in recreating the process.

Famously, Aphex Twin advised to do about the same with his ‘Richard D. James Album’ in reply to complaints that it's too short — saying to play it at 33⅓ rpm instead of 45 to get a full-length album. The same approach works great with some other idm or hard-edm records, making them mellower and more relaxed.

Loop Habit Tracker is pretty good for this. In particular, it allows you to schedule stuff like ‘twice a month’, or even ‘run 10 km a week’ or somesuch. The app shows the whole list, but marks which tasks are done and which aren't yet. Plus there are notifications and widgets, but I haven't used the latter.

Best part is that it's open-source and requires nearly zero permissions. OTOH the data isn't synced anywhere.
