It’s not supposed to be played without belts, I’ll tell you that much.

Basically, also trains, so many trains.

I beat Factorio without using belts.

No, I’m not a masochist, why do you ask?

They do have a pitch, however because it is percussive as opposed to sustained, we don’t register the pitch as easily. Many will also purposely obfuscate the pitch, such as cymbals, they don’t hold a tone, but rather multiple tones at once, making a washing sound and working for any key. If you ever look at a cymbal you will see the rings and divots around the cymbal, because if they weren’t there it would ring like a bell which definitely has a pitch.

As for the drums themselves they definitely do a have a pitch and it is common for to tune them in fifths, or octaves. Think of a drumline, those drums all have pitches and tones, they also function identically to a traditional drum kit. You can very similarly to the cymbals obfuscate this tone by doing an offset tuning so your drum head resonates unevenly across the head creating multiple tonalities at once.

You can achieve this by being lazy and not tuning.

I’m a professional sound engineer and ex-professional drummer BTW.

Party of the rule of law… wait…

Pumped up kicks. For some reason people don’t process the line “better run, better run, faster than my bullet.” It’s about columbine the bassist had a cousin had a cousin who went to columbine when the shooting happened.

P.O.D. I legitimately did not know they released other albums because Satellite was that good. I listened to them. I shouldn’t have.

Along the length of the ladder. That style of ladder, when it’s folded up, like in the photo, should have the feet perpendicular to each other and touching, not offset like they are here.

Judging based on how badly it’s bent it’s used as a persuasion device (hammer) when you don’t want to be within arms reach, like when dealing with explosive shells.

Good point on the BBQ. The differences between regions is substantial, and although you may not like one region’s BBQ, you may very well love another region’s. I for one am not a fan of the vinegar based BBQ, but a good dry rub, or mustard base, I am all there.

Oh hey look it’s a Boeing plane again.

Because it’s good.

Thankfully Yamaha actually makes good stuff. Doesn’t really matter what it is. If it says Yamaha on it it’s at minimum decent.

Honestly, I’d chuckle to myself and then let them know that doesn’t absolve them of the decades of hell they put hundreds of kids through by being very vocal against it in community leadership. They have some cleanup to do. I’ll help with the cleanup, but you got some cleanup to do.

Having the time to waste on forums.

My entire career path.

I knew I liked concerts, and knew that people had to run that equipment, so I decided to get a job in an event company warehouse to learn what was happening. About 2 months in a sales guy apparently oversold a job and came running downstairs asking if anyone knew how to do video. No one did. So I said “have you got the manuals? I’ll learn.” He said, “Great! You’re going out on a North American arena tour in 6 weeks, good luck.”

Talk about getting thrown into it. I was the projector tech for a show that was running 10 screens and I had never touched a projector before then. I thankfully had a director who realized the crap I was in and helped me out.

That was almost 15 years ago now, I’m no longer on the road, but I’m still in it. Every show is different and every show is a learning experience.

I fuck up.

Let me guess. Boeing

Edit: yep Boeing 737-800

Watch it get bombed because “hamas”

In most cases yes, but it depends on the car for both EV and ICE. The few areas where ICE wins is when you’re running a super efficient hybrid, but those are few and far between, usually missing some nice luxury features like heated seats and automatically warming up your car before you get in. Things that are very nice for up north.

My sister who lives in Michigan can lose up to 50 miles of range when the weather drops, so she goes from 110 MPGe to around 70 MPGe when the temperature is below 0 (-18c). That’s still more efficient than most ICE but possible to beat.
