They put a wrong kind of mushroom in charge. Surely it should have been a magic one, and they’d had a proper party.

I agree with Nick.
That’ll be piss-poor engineering.
‘Operation Early Dawn’ - who comes up with the names? I’m cringing so hard my cheeks hurt!
he had entered the city centre to collect a takeaway
That’s one expensive takeway. I hope it was tasty.
Makes me wonder, is either of them interested in cyber security?
The only thing I’d be breaking is a few bones!
The coming weekend will tell us whether the edge is gone.
I was aware that mayonnaise energy density is pretty high, but damn.
This happens easily for big successful organisations. Over decades a strong culture aligned with how they succeed forms. Once the market changes requiring a culture change, a seemingly invincible company suddenly stumbles. They simply can’t respond even if they what they should change.
Ex. Rolls Royce CEO stated this phenomenon well: culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Quite an interesting news nugget.
Is there a bigger societal waste day-in-day-out than people sitting in traffic jams? Any measure that reduces car journeys taken is a good measure in my books.
The number of arsehole men is too damn high. Whenever I see or hear these stories my blood boils.
Trump playing ‘the wisdom and experience angle’ seems like a great strategy. I wish he goes for it!
You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.
As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.
I made couple of bass tramps tuned to the room’s main resonant frequencies, which I measured. I followed instructions from the book.
I added sound absorber panels to the walls and ceiling to kill immediate reflections from the main speakers plus a sprinkling of additional panels to kill reflections and also act as decoration. I also needed to move one radiator because it was in the worst possible location for my setup.
The room got thick curtains to improve absorption, and they also darken the room as it is dual use music listening and home cinema room. A few defraction elements went into the ceiling for a good measure. The ceiling is made of custom panels that I made myself from wood and fabric to allow sound energy through to the various acoustic elements behind them.
I also spent a fair amount of time with subwoofer placement, but in the end it became a bit of a compromise between sound and placement of furniture. Nothing a bit of signal processing can’t deal with, mind.
Master Handbook of Acoustics is your friend if you want to learn what to do to your room. Overkill for most, admittedly, but it contains everything you need to know.
I think there is another aspect that is important: limit the blast radius. Shit inevitably happens when you create something new and complex, and when it does, you’d rather minimise the impact where possible.
What is it with old people these days? Just lazing about and sipping lattes, probably.
