    don’t force open, hit “cancel” or whatever

    I don’t think the timer on the microwave at my job has ever been reset. People just push the “start+30” button and jank it open when they’re bored of waiting. It never reaches zero and nobody presses stop.


  • Canada imports more from USA than it exports to USA. A trade war that decreases exports would hurt USA more than Canada.

    The largest exports from USA to Canada are cars and trucks. (Finished products) The largest exports from Canada to USA are minerals, fuels and pulp. (Raw material)

    This puts USA at a disadvantage in a tariff game, because it’s a lot easier for Canada to replace American cars with Asian or European cars, than it is for USA to replace the variety of ressources that Canada provides

    It’s also a lot easier for Canada to find other customers for raw materials than it is to sell American cars on other continents.




  • In Denmark it happened rather quickly and less than 200 years ago. Soo many things happened in the late 1800s after the abandonment of absolute monarchy in 1849, that I’m not going to pretend that I can explain it all in a comment.

    So… while Denmark has a long history with vikings and kings and stuff, our constitution is relatively new and written around the same time as Karl Marx and the industrial revolution redefining what work is.

    If you ever get around Copenhagen, the workers museum is well worth a visit for an insight into the specific events that lead to the democratic socialist government. It was a long hard process and tightly tied to the history of worker’s unions.

    Very briefly told, it was a worldwide class war. The events in Scandinavia were heavily influenced by the “bloody week” in Paris in 1871 and the establishment of the world wide organisation First International.

    It culminated in a several months long lock out in 1899, which eventually gave workers the right to organize for collective agreements. This was only made possible with support from workers from all over the world.

    One of the most amazing things about it was how they even managed to organize anyone at all in a time where all workers were dirt poor and only the owning class had any freedom and income at all. The founders of the first unions realized that it would be an uphill battle and were brutally honest about it. They told workers “It might take several generations to succeed, but it needs to be done, so that your grand children will have a chance for a better life.”, and yet they managed to organize almost everyone.

    It succeeded though and also much faster. One of the three founders of the socialist democratic party lived long enough to see it become the largest political party in the country in 1924 - a position it held until 2001.


  • If your opponent plays strictly by a point system, like a computer might, and if the piece is threatened, it might be beneficial to keep the value low to trick the oppont to do something else, while you keep the useless pawn as an obstruction, which could somehow limit your opponent’s future moves.

    Anyway, it’s apparantly not allowed.


  • You’ll need a low pass filter. High frequencies drop off as the source of the sound moves away, while lower frequencies will come through over longer distances. Simply put an envelope on the frequency.

    Reverb or delays can be used to make something sound as if it is further away, but in order to make it move, you’ll probably need to change the pre-delay setting rather than the reverb itself. Again, use an envelope.

    impulse response files can also be used to create any kind of space. These are static though, so to imitate movement you’ll need an IR plugin that can hold several IRs and fade between them, or look into convolution reverb plugins for this purpose.



  • Taking the idea further, it is notable that the entire population of California is smaller than that of Tokyo.

    Tokyo is also unfathomable large, but the most astonishing thing is the amount of people. Tokyo has about 10 times the population of L.A. on an area of the same size. Of course there’s traffic jams too, but not as bad as in L.A., because the metro system is a lot more efficient than the highways. During rush hour each train carrying thousands of people depart from each station every 2-3 minutes. You have to see it to believe it.
