theherk, to asklemmy in What's your favorite instrument that really gets through to you?

I posted a similar response. There is a huge Casavant in KC at Helzberg Hall. I heard it when Dr Jan Kraybill was the conservator; may still be, and it was incredible. Worth a trip, and not a church.

A large Casavant. Any pipe organ really, but a large one with tones below the human hearing threshold really hit hard in person. They give me nonstop frisson. Almost can’t handle it, and tears stream down my face the whole time, but not from sadness; just a physiological reaction.

theherk, to asklemmy in Ancient wisdom often sounds like common sense now that it is commomly taught. What is some ancient wisdom that we no longer teach because it was wrong?

That’s funny. Every time somebody says “If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about,” I reply, “Do you shit with the door open?”

But now the door isn’t just open. It feels like Uncle Sam is pissing between your legs.

theherk, to asklemmy in Those who chose "never" in a "now or never" moment. How is it going for you?

It’s okay. I enjoyed your story and that’s what we’re here for, eh?

theherk, to asklemmy in best app for lemmy?

For iOS, I’ve been testing Arctic, Avelon, Bean, Lemma, Memmy, and Mlem. All good, but none seem better or more reliable than Voyager (wefwef).

theherk, to asklemmy in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

Hypothesis*, and it is very popular with nurses. Unfortunate, but people still believe many strange things.

theherk, to asklemmy in Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?

Hell yes. The blueing is so satisfying every single time. And such precision.

Also wrote open source software to generate those fantastic visualizations. It has been forked and is maintained, and it has therefore influenced the whole genre positively.

On the topic, Brady Haran’s channels are also putting out great educational content.

Love Geerling and Rossmann, but I simply don’t understand the appeal of Levy; he is so over the top. Not that I would downvote this though, he is just not my style, and there are many good chess channels since the boom. Chessbrah, Anna Cramping, Hikaru, Banzea, and Hanging Pawns all come to mind.

Anna’s content, especially with parents GM Cramling and GM Bellón López is so fun and wholesome.

Please forgive me if I offended. That’s pretty neat though. I think the linguistics, while made up take examples from many languages.

Assuming English isn’t your mother tongue, I meant no offense. But “beltalowda” is a demonym referring to the group of humans occupying and mining the asteroid belt and other outer planetary areas in the science fiction story The Expanse. Your grammar is surprisingly close to their speech patterns.

In this thread I see broadly two types of complaints:

  • Videos have degraded in presentation or production in some way.
  • Person said something I disagree with so I don’t like them anymore.

Both fine, but I think the latter is just a bummer and really reflects a much deeper problem of the times in which we live.

You type like beltalowda.

theherk, to asklemmy in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?
