Yeah, sims like COMSOL will eat up a ton of ram.

How many CPU cores are you running?

2 6 core 12 thread xeons. Glad my college has this nice computer. Running a fluid structure interaction in comsol to simulate vortex induced vibrations on a chimney

I am getting vaccinated today as well! J&J also so one and done, can't wait. What a relief.

Maybe it was the absinthe

The peyote will wear off soon. Enjoy your epiphany!

LED, you say? How many did you take?

Sounds mostly realistic to me, lateral placement seems fine. Depth a bit less though, wind instruments sound too dominant at times, as if they were in front of the orchestra, when they should be in the back.

They are in the back, but I had to adjust levels a bit, maybe I need to turn them down a bit more. Anyway, I just posted a thread with more information on this. https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/a-study-on-just-noticeable-difference-in-reverberation-time-and-creating-realistic-convolutions.10817/

This is presumably a one point recording. Just to illustrate what I mean regarding relative loudness

Indeed. Are you preparing it the traditional way? With or without a sugar cube?

Yes, 2 oz absinthe, 3 oz water poured over sugar cube to dissolve it

Another time will come.

I made a Sazerac tonight. My recipe: 1.5 oz Redemption Bourbon, .75 oz Owl Mescal, .25 oz rich simple syrup, 8 drops Honest Johns New Orleans Bitters.

4 Absinthe spritzes over ice, then added water to chill the glass. Mixed all other ingredients in a separate glass, dumped out ice, and poured. Expressed an orange peel and rubbed the peel over the rim of the glass.

When drinking, take a deep mouth breath until you can almost taste the drink on the top of your mouth, then take a large sip and slosh around your mouth, slowly warming the drink and swallowing just as it starts to burn. Then wait for the wonderful aftertaste and enjoy!

And yes I know it is only 3:00

I remember one physics test where the whole class failed. Prof was an asshat.

Most of my classes senior year got easier and more project focused. It was the "Intro to ..." classes that were intentionally designed to make people drop out of college. Overpaid professors with no real world experience, on power trips piss me off.

A plurality of my friends were math majors in college. According to them, a 25 on the Putnam (roughly) means you have a good brain. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lowell_Putnam_Mathematical_Competition

On the other hand, you're missing the chance of being there in the form of a projected hologram. Which might feel interesting!

Congrats, bud! Are you going to graduate school afterwards?

Meanwhile I'm drinking on a weekday more than I ever have in the past...

Yeah, my friends in another apartment drink a lot, so now that I am not allowed in their apartment, I just dont drink as much. Probably for the best, but we had our fun in the past.
Only problem is when I see them sometimes i forget my tolerance isnt what it used to be... Leads to some bad Sunday mornings.

Yeah it seems like it wouldn't be good, I would think you would want something to support the vinyl all the way around but maybe not

"try using a slot on a drill and you'll wish it was a philips."

Don't you people there have pozidrive? Like Philips but more.

@Thad E Ginathom we do, I have several bits, but they aren't as common as Philips or torx. Torx is my go-to.

I presumed we were talking hand tools. If it's big and indelicate enough to be used with a drill, IME if a drill won't move it then slotting it is all you've got left.

Gotta be some vintage porn in there

I was thinking an old box with the text Jumanji

21:9 monitors have changed my gaming experience. Depending on the game it can be a huge advantage due to FOV

Exactly why I have a 38" 3840*1600 21:10 monitor, so nice.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here regretting my purchase of a 4k monitor. Dunno why tf I bought into the 4k hype.

Yeah I'm not sure how much fire, hopefully small, I just saw fire trucks and got a campus alert. Situation still in progress

Update: fire is out, no injuries, building closed still

Similar thing happened in college once... except it was a supposed school shooter... and it turned out to be a gun with a paintball gun... in a parking structure.

Funny thing is it was the week before finals and failing this class = dropped from major so 90% of us still showed up.

I read Metamorphosis a long time ago. There are very good translations out there. Kafka had an interesting mind. If I can find my copy (doubtful) I’ll let you know who translated it.

Thanks guys.

Listen to The Blue Notebooks by Max Richter while you read it.

It sounds like a recording of music being played through speakers in a room or an artificial room effect is being used. Instruments sound small, constrained, and the same distance away from the listener like there's only one row and all of the musicians are standing side by side. Decays from instruments, giving a sense of room size isn't there.

Yes and no:

No: Many reasons, but the biggest being it sounds like everything is coming from a 8x8 room, but we know that you physically cannot fit all of the instruments in 8x8 room.

Yes: One could also argue that all of the issues for "no" are just due to "bad recording". I'm sure we've all heard imperfect "real" recordings before or even deliberately lo-fi recordings, etc.

Ok, so heres what it is, a recording taken in an anechoic chamber, convovled with audaucity and aroura with an impulse responce from an actual place
