Reply to comment by zip in (random rant) dissonant chords to me don't sound "spicy" by zip
Woah that track you posted is really cool! But interestingly it doesnât sound very dissonant to me! Think due to the really pure intonation and harmonically related intervals in a lot of the music. Im kind of pretty inspired!

Chord voicing can also have a lot to do with how consonant a chord is perceived to be, as well as how it fits into a piece musically. Most of us are really familiar with functional harmony, so chords that donât fall within that can sound more out of place.
I love the sound of chords with a lot of extensions and songs that explore different voicings, i used to write music with a lot of percussive cluster chords where instruments were more used to fill space in the mix and create syncopation as opposed to just playing chords.
Anyways heres a few things I thought were kind of interesting to me musicallyâŠ

Reply to anti-Americanism is racism by wednesday
You know maybe its more American food as viewed by being a product of the state and its economic forces than a view of American food as a product of its people,
Industrialized food and its consequences. Especially the results of its manufacturing. American industrial food is closely tied to the state, from Russia exchanging a fleet of military ships for pepsi To the environmental externalities of industrial farming. Industrial food allows the psychological compartmentalism where a people can be fully ignorant of the source of their food, it just comes from the supply chain. It supports systems that are hidden systems that remove so many layers of autonomy.
The food court is an essential appendage to the mall, having a central place for mall food drives people into places of commerce that are exclusionary, as opposed to an open market the mall is essentially a feudal environment, large amounts of liminal space under private ownership.
The food court consists almost entirely of franchised restaurants, where their function is ideologically removed from the concept of providing food for a community, historically restaurants developed around the desires of communities their tastes their budgets, but with franchised restaurants the menus are determined by committee, and when a market is over saturated with franchised food, the regional food becomes to be replaced with a taste for food that is readily available. It is amazing that so many areas of America are food deserts, where only franchised foods are available, this is an example of cornering a market until the competitive market collapses and you are left with only franchises. This is possible due to the interactions between real estate, the economics of car ownership and urban development, and industrial food subsidies. Housing associations would stop people from running community food space in their residents and often ingredients arenât even available in the states.

I feel like that all the time, iâm also kind of a depressive and dissociative person, i canât remember big chunks of my life because of trauma, and i spend a lot of time feeling really distant from the people i care about most. Im a total stress case, sometimes if i have a day off i spend most of it in bed.

Bandcamp, soundcloud, vocaroo, are the main ones i know for just audio, lots of smaller ones too
You can always self host or make a video file and upload that to vimeo
You can make something a public file on dropbox, or google drive, or mediafire, or wetransfer
If you like peer to peer you can host a torrent or run soulseek, or even run an ftp server with the files you want people ho have access to.
If you want to be really niche you can use something like gemini etc
Think outside the box,
I remember when the musician cindy lee made their album cat o nine tails they released it in a way where a link to the album would be sent over email after receiving an etransfer to her studioâs protonmail addressâŠ

Reply to comment by antispe in Like a dog with a bean ... vegan diets found to aid canine health by Lettuce
Totally! I feel that line is a very dry joke about research ethics. Its great that people are doing research on animal welfare that respects the animals, feel like its quite rare overall.

I wonder if this also takes into consideration the amount of time walked, and the quality of the food, i can see people who care enough to give their dog a special diet instead of just the cheapest kibble might also take more care in their dogs in other ways. Sucks to see people be neglectful of their pets, there are a lot of variables. Although I donât doubt the results. Diet is so important for health, i had a friend who fed their dog a lot of âpeople foodâ as snacks like potato chips, beer, or once a tiny piece of chocolate. The dog already had health problems but I donât think these snacks helped although they were just like a tiny amount of these foods.

I would say its also a lot easier to be homeless when its warmer out. Not having access to a kitchen you can cook at or having to haul stuff around and stash stuff or losing things or having to abandon stuff can be both exhausting and expensive,
I would say look for garages that people are renting if real housing is off limits, in which case you might have to piss in jars.
Get a good winter jacket, wear layers, dont be afraid to double up on waterproofing⊠water is miserable when you dont have any way to dry off. Get some good rain boots.
Try visiting family for a bit, Use how unsettled you are to do things you wouldnât otherwise be able to do.

Make a list of your friends that have places and try to spread out time that you can use their shower / laundry / crashing on couches etc,
If you have my friends that are broke they might be able to let you stay for a bit longer if youâre a good houseguest.
If you have a source of income try to keep it,
Try to avoid going in debt, as interest rates can quickly become oppressive.
Im in the situation right now where iâm looking to get out of a living situation that is draining my finances dry. Been going through all the more miscellaneous things in my pantryâŠ
I would say if you have access to a food bank utilize it, ask some friends if they have any food that is about to go bad, or if they have cans of things they might not need.
No shame in being poor or even homeless, Fuck the society that looks down on people.
Make a list of any skills that you might have, maybe if you can see if theres any small work around peoples houses that they need done. Lots of collective houses would love to pay someone a small amount of money to do some chores such as washing dishes, vacuuming etc.
I would also recommend putting a listing online to have another roommate or something.
I pay a lot of money to rent right now, if my partner moved in with me i would be paying a LOT less. If i moved in with my partner i could pay their whole rent and still be saving $600 dollars a month

Reply to comment by JohnBrownDidNothingWrong2 in how do i play music over a homemade spark gap? by JohnBrownDidNothingWrong2
Spark gap transmission Its not used as much because it encroaches on other neighbouring broadcasts, it is poor radio etiquette, and will result in your transmitter being searched for and decommissioned by your countryâs radio authority.
Fines for that kind of stuff is severe as it is.
I would recommend using a secondhand burner phone as an audio source, and a cheap secondhand car fm transmitter with its output stage soldered to a medium powered radio amplifier. You might even be able to run it all in a pelican case or runnermaid with a solar panel.
