i've been noticing a trend that the plus sign used to indicate "more than" is moving from behind the number to the front. anybody else notice that? "+20 hours" instead of "20+ hours"

a cab will carry as many people as public transportation, just one at a time. if you will, a serial bus

If the cab has not only normal seats but also supports wheelchairs and infant seats then that's also quite universal.

oh wow, this is sneaky: i just got a marketing mail that was too long to fully display in gmail, so gmail added a link to display the whole thing in a pop-out tab.

the only thing that was missing in regular view was the unsubscribe link.

using the ol' sitting cat curve for the clap volume

reshared this

in reply to wayfinder

if you're asking yourself why that curve works, here's a short explanation:

- the actual clap hit is at 1.2, but it's so heavily drenched in reverb that there's essentially a fairly even bed of noise throughout the whole loop. the curve works in a similar way to the gate in a gated reverb snare (think phil collins - in the air tonight) - after all, a gate is also an automated volume curve (just dependant on the input volume)
- the cat's hump is a little preroll "sshhwwwip!" made from the reverb tail noise
- the ears happen because i give the clap a volume drop after the initial loud attack (the first ear), which creates a pumping feel, to then come back and create an echo-like effect (the second ear), which feels like a snap-back
- said attack is softened a little to not clash with the attack of the kick drum playing together with it

the overall sound is not simply a "Kshh" but more like a "shwKashah"

in reply to wayfinder

the best thing about this setup is really that I can just switch out the clap sample for another, and change the whole timbre while keeping the cat features. it doesn't even have to be a clap, any percussion works really, as long as there's some noise for the reverb to smear out.


someone posted this pic in the chat today:

it's a great photo!

and I immediately thought, that looks like cologne! in fact that's what I posted in reply:

wayfinder — Yesterday at 4:26 PM<br>[geoguessr voice] that looks like cologne. nice


and the part of me that watched the geoguessr world championships and genuinely thought it was the most exciting sporting event I'd seen in years was like,

could it be? could I find it?


reader, maps.app.goo.gl/VXzW5snmgWRmpF…

there it is: my hunch was RIGHT! it WAS in cologne! I DID find it on street view! what a powerful feeling!

in reply to wayfinder

Cologne is short for cobbled stogne, that's how you knew it was there

Edit: huh, it's spelled cobblestone? Berenstain moment
